The Law of Seasons
The law of seasons Part 1 The Bible tells us that there are seasons and a time to every purpose under the heavens. There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to pluck something that's been planted, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to break down something, a time to build up, a time to weep, a time to laugh, and so on. There is also what is called "a time to embrace," "a time for war," "a time of peace." All intelligent students know what the common word in every sentence is- it's always "time." The Bible connects everything in life--from birth through death--to the passage of TIME. In First Chronicles chapter 12, verse 32, it is mentioned that among the children of Issachar, there were individuals who aided and had a deep understanding of the current circumstances. These individuals possessed knowledge of what Israel needed to do, and as a result, they were appointed as leaders with 200 heads and their brethren under their command. This passage emphasizes the importance of having an understanding of the times and knowing the appropriate actions to take. Moving on to the final verse, Psalm 90, verse 12, it presents a profound message for wise individuals. It urges us to learn the value of our limited time on Earth and to use it wisely. By recognizing the significance of each passing day, we can direct our hearts towards gaining wisdom. Let us reflect on this verse together and strive to apply its teachings to our lives.

The Wager Book Review
David Grann's The Wager is a masterful work of nonfiction that tells the story of the Wager Mutiny, a real-life event that took place in 1741. The book is a gripping tale of shipwreck, survival, and murder, but it is also much more than that. It is a meditation on the nature of power, the limits of human endurance, and the power of storytelling.
