Reed Critchfield: The chain of conditions leading to the discovery of Truth

FAMILY MATTERS

Time does fly as some folks say and here we are beyond the Y2K.

For some it took a while to come, for others time has just begun.

Time is either friend or foe. It may run too fast or crawl too slow.

But whether it scolds or flatters, one clock is constant - Family Matters.

Lives intertwine and then unravel. Some dive in while others dabble.

And whether it be choice or chance, We're all adorned by circumstance.

We pay our money and roll the dice. And perhaps we win once or twice.

But whether in riches or in tatters, one bet is sure - Family Matters.

God sent us here. He has a plan. God looks beyond the mortal man,

into the depths of what can be, beyond what the eyes of man can see.

If to reach God's viewpoint we aspire, then each day we must climb higher.

Together each day we climb that eternal ladder, because forever is a Family Matter.

The chain of conditions leading to the discovery of Truth

“A wise man changes his mind, a fool never” ~ Spanish Proverb

Why I like this - When we change our minds, it means we are thinking in a critical manner and our minds are open to new ideas. This is the last link in the chain of learning. First, we must have humility in order to learn. Humility allows us to open our minds. An open mind embraces wisdom. With wisdom we can assess the proper stand on a given subject and that can lead us to change our minds when confronted with the truth.
