Text Box: materials have different kindling temperatures, and builds a fireplace made of stone or brick, will have a warm shelter in the winter. Since these principles are so very easy to comprehend, why is it apparently so difficult for many people to make the next step, and to acknowledge there is a God, and that He has established laws which are absolutes? Why is it so difficult for some people to accept or to acknowledge that violation of God’s absolutes will result in unhappiness and loss, while utilization of God’s laws and absolutes will result in happiness for the individual who so does? God has provided and established the laws of science so that we may discover them, use them, and in the process both better our lives and have a greater appreciation and respect for God who made all things, maintains all things, and established the laws which govern all things. Humankind expends a great amount of energy and time pursuing scientific discoveries: some merely for the sake of knowledge, and some for the benefits which may be derived from such knowledge. At our present level of technical ability it is merely interesting to know that one fifty-five minute heavy thunder storm generates enough energy, especially electrical energy, to provide all of the annual energy needs of a twenty-first century city of eight million people. Practical application of that knowledge may exist one day. It is good that we study these things.

Text Box: It is not good that so few acknowledge the reality that all of this was created and established, and continues to be maintained in existence, by a spirit, by the ultimate being, the self existing being, God. God has made His laws very well known. But there are many individuals who have become religious leaders and who teach and practice corrupted forms of God’s laws. They are like a building contractor who ignores the architect’s instructions and building code regulations that the fireplace be built of brick, and build it of straw. The homeowner should not be surprised when his or her house burns down. Nor should the followers of a religious leader who ignores or corrupts the absolutes established by God, be surprised when they end up in Hell. +

Text Box: physician, or something else. A vocation is something which you are designed to do. It is a calling. And we all are designed to and have the calling to be united with God for all eternity. We all have the vocation of holiness. A person who has the vocation of being a race car driver can be happy doing something else, but he will be happiest doing what he is designed to do - being a race car driver. Likewise for a person with the vocation of planting trees. But both may have to have other employment to sustain themselves, for race car driver jobs and tree planting jobs are not numerous. In actuality, most people do not earn a living doing their vocation. But you can earn eternal living, eternal life, only by following your spiritual vocation. Your spiritual vocation calls on you to engage in it in all aspects of your life. If you are a cook, cook as though God were going to eat the food. If you are a parent, teach your children how to get to heaven, and how to take care of themselves in a moral manner. If you have a calling to the religious life, accept it and engage in it to the fullest and best extent possible. And if you know someone who has a calling to the religious life, encourage them, for they are very much needed. One of the most important spiritual vocations is that of a Matuska, a Priest’s wife, for she is his temporal refuge in an ocean of unbelief. She can be that person on which he focuses his prayers for her salvation, and in his making that focus she assists him in loving God and mankind in a more pure and divine manner. The family and friends of those called to the religious life are equally important for they provide the human touch which we need because of our human nature.

Text Box: Those who do not acknowledge gravity, and who walk out of a window which is twenty feet above the ground, will fall at great velocity and then be rudely and suddenly stopped when they meet the ground. They also are very likely to be injured and possibly killed in the process.

Text Box: One who ignores the kindling temperature of various materials and builds a fireplace made of straw will soon learn that it would have been a better idea to build a fireplace of brick or stone.
