“When a sudden ray of sun or a moonbeam falls on a dreary street, it makes no difference what it illumines-a broken bottle on the ground, a fading flower in a field, or the flaxen blonde hair of a child's head.

It is God's gift to you.” ChildrenMomentsFallDifferencesMemoriesBeautySunStreetsFieldsObjectsFlowerHairBrokenCelebrateThat MomentBottlesRaysTransformedViewersOur MemoriesBlondeFadingDrearyBlonde HairMoonbeams Author:Luci Swindoll
“The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: Both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun.” MenChristianChristDifferencesCommonPaySunWorshipPaidAdorationParodyMasonry Book:Complete Works Source: Complete Works
“Nature has put itself the problem how to catch in flight light streaming to the earth and to store the most elusive of all powers in rigid form. To achieve this aim, it has covered the crust of earth with organisms which in their life processes absorb the light of the sun and use this power to produce a continuously accumulating chemical difference. ... The plants take in one form of power, light; and produce another power, chemical difference.” UseProblemLightEarthFormProcessDifferencesSunAchieveProduceAimPlantStoresFlightCoveredChemicalsOrganismsElusiveStreamingPhotosynthesis Author:Robert Mayer
