Improvement in helping our earth be healthy? YES. When “re-vamping” a building, there was grass on the roof. ![]() I believe this is very significant when creating a new “idea”. At the end of the Tedx Talk, the speaker shared some new ways to go around being harmful, but rather help our environment in the process. No sugar-coating what so ever! There was talk about how we couldn’t have known all the advancements would have caused so much harm to our earth and ourselves. He was real about the good, the bad, and most certainly the ugly.

The truth is that all of our thoughts, good or bad, have an effect on our physical anatomy. If we want them to perform to their maximum ability and be around for a long time then we need to choose to think in ways that will help them. ![]() ![]() Our bodies are like an automobile that God provides for us to drive around earth. And each part of who we are affects the others. You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. God created us as triune beings: spirit, soul (mind, will and emotions) and body. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Unspoken Vow by Eden Finley![]() ![]() Providing her own unique perspective, she says something completely different in her work, whilst also reaching readers worldwide.

Firstly, his middle name was Klapka, after a Hungarian general, apparently. Some background may apply before we mention his ghost stories. As biographies of Jerome are easy to find, we’re only concerned here with his involvement in the supernatural and speculative, otherwise this would be an awfully long feature. His boating tales are still shared, republished and broadcast. Jerome K Jerome (1859-1927) is most often remembered these days as a humourist. Join us, then, dear listener, for more Edwardian Arcane… He had some surprisingly thoughtful things to say in general – and he engaged in speculative satire, which may have influenced some of the great dystopian novels of the 20th century, including works by Huxley and Orwell. For not only did he write ghost stories, he also deconstructed them mercilessly. Did you ever venture beyond Three Men in a Boat and explore the world of Jerome K Jerome? You should. ![]() |
