Pondering Tidbits of Truth is my simple and inadequate way of providing nuggets of spiritual wisdom for you to chew on from time to time.

"Reflect upon the scenario in which you were supposed to
receive a very large inheritance but were cheated out of it. How would you
react? The right reaction would be to care more for the soul of the person who
cheated you than to care about actually being cheated. A person who is fully
detached from material possessions will care little about losing such an
inheritance or gaining one. It will truly matter not. If that is hard to
accept, know that this is a sign that your soul is too attached to the things of
this world. Pray for freedom from all greed. That is the only way to obtain the
true riches of God."
(From Daily
Reflections - October 21, 2024)
St. Teresa of Calcutta
"How
did Christ love us? He made Himself the Bread of Life. He made Himself a living
bread that you and I may eat and live. He made himself so small, so weak, just
bread to satisfy our hunger for God.”
(From
Kathy Snider He Comes in Grandeur and Humility published in
the Oct 2024 issue of Restoration)
Peter Kreeft, Ph.D.
"Of course, technology itself is innocent. It is the worship of it, the idolization of it, that is evil. Adam tilling the garden was technology. Noah's ark was technology. Solomon's temple and Notre Dame Cathedral were technology. So was Cain's rock and the Roman art of crucifixion and the gas chambers in Auschwitz and the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

That sort of awareness: a good idea, but can take time to develop.
