Faith, Hope and Love

“Spirituality exists wherever we struggle with the issue of how our lives fit into the greater cosmic scheme of things. This is true even when our questions never give way to specific answers or give rise to specific practices such as prayer or meditation. We encounter spiritual issues every time we wonder where the universe comes from, why we are here, or what happens when we die. We also become spiritual when we become moved by values such as beauty, love, or creativity that seem to reveal a meaning or power beyond our visible world. An idea or practice is "spiritual" when it reveals our personal desire to establish a felt-relationship with the deepest meanings or powers governing life.” Robert C. Fuller

Unlike animals, we humans are born with a spiritual soul and a mind, which far exceeds that of animal life. We are born not only to our five senses such as taste, hearing, touch, smell, and sight which we share with other animals on our planet, but also with an insight into our lives.

However, we as human beings do not take life for granted being born of an inquisitive knack for acquiring knowledge of our home planet earth and beyond the never endless universe. The beauty of life’s creation leaves us at awe with the mysterious bounty of an indisputable fact of life.

We are born into the world with an overwhelming desire to seek out the unexplained phenomenon, which engulfs us as human life here on earth. We as the human race have rose up against one another in war as well as peace.

To find a mutual understanding of life as we know it and life, as we perceive it is the goal of all of humanity. We are on a journey to find answers to the many questions we ask of the unknown.

As we live from day to day, we continue to find answers to the questions that boggle our minds. With faith, hope and love as our objectives we will conquer our dreams.
