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 After Series
I know what everyone must be thinking, how did a modern day love story change your life? Their are so many classic novels, self help books, and everything in-between. I've read many books in my life and there have been many that have changed me in different ways. This series however changed me in a way I never would have expected, and series I never knew I needed. To back track I actually heard about this series long before it was made into movies or available in book stores. It was back during the One Direction craze and a friend of mine had told me about this fan fiction on Wattpad based on Harry Styles. I tried reading it, but for whatever reason at the time I couldn't quite get into it.

Hougoumont
After the engagement, they were in haste to bury the dead bodies. Death has a fashion of harassing victory, and she causes the pest to follow glory. The typhus is a concomitant of triumph. This well was deep, and it was turned into a sepulchre. Three hundred dead bodies were cast into it. With too much haste perhaps. Were they all dead? Legend says they were not. It seems that on the night succeeding the interment, feeble voices were heard calling from the well.
