fate. Now her Ghost tells her story. High in my tower, I would hide, far away from the foreign world. No one knew I was there. The only part of the outside world I knew was through my mirror. This world is not a place for me. If they knew what I am, I would surely die. Yet, if I stay I might perish anyway. I learned of a curse that was placed on my tower, although I knew not what it may be. Only knew if I stay, it must surely come to be. But since I knew the outside world was not for me, I stayed
he cannot wait for time to revolve frequently in watch (what is he trying to say?). True love is the product of deep affection and healthy understanding. In Avinash’s case it was no different. He thought, When my heart whispers: Yes, she is the One I could love till my last breath, and desperately want her in my life till eighty, that is the right choice of a life partner.. Love is not glitzy. When love strikes at heart and ensnares it, the lover does not care if he has seen his beloved before she
In-between my Paris travels, I had a chance to visit Versailles. Versailles is one of those places that you will never really get over. It's breathtaking. Before I got the opportunity to travel to Versailles, I was actually was in the middle of learning about it in my history class. We were learning about Marie Antoinette, the beginning of the French Revolution, and all the Louises (is that right pluralization for "Louis"?). So, let's take a second and recap some good-ass history. My Version of a

commonness is called ‘Love’. We, as humans forge to act and tend to forget, that existence is merely to love and continue survival. We forget our purpose; instead, we pursue and seek a purpose elsewhere. The pursuit never ends until the ‘soulless’ lays down. Not all of us or our ‘mystic souls’ are blessed.

She had executed the fateful trick everyday of her life for fifteen years now, in all its monotonous and dry detail. She had never let lethargy or physical pain come in the way of the tedium of the act, during sick times, poor times, hungry times, weak times, sad times, tired times, and in general, all times when just plain misery visits one assuming any of the various subtle forms it is capable of, which is, believe me, a terrific feat, one that defies simple human notions of feeling and failure

Where the pagans constantly pleaded the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to bring down the Wrath of Allah (SWT) upon them. This verse refutes that claim as to why they should not face the Wrath of Allah (SWT). Whereas the verses (56-58) speak of Allah (SWT)’s Power and Ability, verse number 59 goes on to speak of Allah (SWT)’s Knowledge
Acknowledgments I want to acknowledge several people who have given many hours of their time and expertise in helping me make this project a reality. One is Barbara Crafton, whose advice, support, and depth of life and ministry I greatly appreciate. She walked me through this process with clarity and gentle prodding and deftly critiqued the manuscript. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Sue Stanley, who labored for many months typing the various changes in the text. Her patience, humor, and generosity
God’s direction to me to put this into writing has led to this book. In this book New Beginning, I would try to explain how one can enjoy a new beginning; one’s part in new beginning; challenges of new beginning; sustaining new beginning; draw a conclusion; and give some reflections on how one can enjoy a New Beginning with Christ Jesus. In these analyses, I would use “Father Abraham” (Father of a great multitude) (Abram – High Father)
