Whitehead's philosophy requires a broader conception of

Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work
in our lives one area at a
time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but
in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame
time and
time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle
in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it
in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it
in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride
in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle
in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is not to boast because of what i have done
in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more
than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a
reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust

I agree that my definition of «myth» is open to misunderstanding, but at the same
time I am convinced that it is more satisfactory
than the alternative you suggest («By «mythological» we mean the presentation of unobservable
realities in terms of observable phenomena») For one thing, «observable» may prove too narrow a term and «unobservable» too broad, since all spiritual attitudes are unobservable.
Both questions lead
in the same direction, toward the possibility of a provisional and qualified answer: if the character of happening only once is held to belong to the truth and measure of all things
in their very
reality, then there is indeed an essence which more
than any other satisfies this truth - criterion, and this is the pure essence of
time:
time taken
in itself, or pure movement — movement irrespective of any possible differentiation into the different kinds of movement.
And they are bound to be with us if our perspective is
time - bound and world - bound; it is only by relationship to, and trust
in, some
Reality bigger and other
than the world, yet working
in and through the processes of

in that sphere alone, so far as I can see, that man can achieve any peace of mind.
Now there is the possibility of a different philosophical attitude, one that takes with utmost seriousness the evolutionary and processive character of the world indicated by science, but at the same
time affirms the
reality of God as the supreme excellence and perfect goodness
in and above (or more
than) the world —
in it, because such excellence and goodness is ceaselessly operative to further the world's development of potentialities; above it (or more
than it), because such excellence and goodness is inexhaustible, more
than merely creaturely, indefatigable, faithful, unfailing.
Gil you have asked some very good questions why does bad things happen
in the world i personally do nt know God did nt explain to Job either why he had to suffer.What i do know is that God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life
in him through Jesus Christ.This world will one day pass away and the real world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats to come and being a witness
in the here and now.Both good and bad happens to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we to make of that.What we do know is that God will set all things right at the appointed
time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded for there faith isnt that enough reason for us to believe.Free will is only a
reality if we can choose between good and bad but our hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need to be saved from ourselves so what are we to do.For me Christ died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500 people that were alive at the
time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders do you know that did that or did the miracles that Jesus did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven to be correct and many of prophetic words spoken many hundreds of years ago have come to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested
in what philosophy you are believing
in if other
than a faith
in Jesus Christ so how does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have to believe
in Jesus Christ.brentnz

If,
in a portrait so produced, the lines of the subject have been made rather sharper
than reality and the contrasts somewhat more vivid

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising...

in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base...
in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player
in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)...
in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did
in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this
in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players
in the final third... he was never a good defensive player
in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely

than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center
than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model
in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically
in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking
in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Considering that Brighton have only just been promoted from the Championship (for the first
time in 34 years) and their whole team is probably worth less
than Alexis Sanchez on his own, Arsenal fans could be forgiven for thinking that the Gunners will win by a cricket score but the
reality is somewhat different.
Not sure anyone will be wanting to sign him next year for other
than a few million, He has had one good game so far this season and seeing we have had a great start that does not sit well, Last week playing Tomks and Reid
in the middle was not good and so far Tomks has played better at right back because he concentrated more and don't give me that not so good attacking view we don't need that with the midfield and forwards we have and I would prefer Kouyate going forward and not having to worry about covering Jenks back,
Time for Oxford to have a game along side Reid I think or Ginge, Maybe Jenks and Noble need to watch from the bench for a week and get a
reality check, No I ain't saying get rid just a slap on the wrist to wake them up
No matter the job, no matter the sport, no matter the game — the
reality is that a person who is successful
in any endeavor more
than 2 out of 3
times would be considered a success.
And also the correlation between your truly - terrified - of - poop friend and your own fears — your imagination is generally worse
than reality, and even when
reality IS pretty gross (like that
time my baby had an explosive poop all over my lap at a restaurant that only had the tiniest bathroom ever, like there wasn't enough room between the toilet and the door for the diaper bag, much less a three - month - old) you just sort of... take it
in stride and deal with it, knowing that the benefits of babies and children outweigh the occasional brush with grossness.
... Delight
in smooth - sounding platitudes, refusal to face unpleasant facts, desire for popularity and electoral success irrespective of the vital interests of the State, genuine love of peace and pathetic belief that love can be its sole foundation, obvious lack of intellectual vigour
in both leaders of the British Coalition Government, marked ignorance of Europe and aversion from its problems
in Mr. Baldwin, the strong and violent pacifism which at this
time dominated the Labour - Socialist Party, the utter devotion of the Liberals to sentiment apart from
reality, the failure and worse
than failure of Mr. Lloyd George, the erstwhile great war -
time leader, to address himself to the continuity of his work, the whole supported by overwhelming majorities
in both Houses of Parliament: all these constituted a picture of British fatuity and fecklessness which, though devoid of guile, was not devoid of guilt, and, though free from wickedness or evil design, played a definite part
in the unleashing upon the world of horrors and miseries which, even so far as they have unfolded, are already beyond comparison
in human experience.
Consequently, the possibility to nowcast a campaign, that is, to track trends
in real
time and capture (eventual) sudden changes (so called «momentum»)
in public opinion faster
than is possible through traditional polls (for example, the results of a TV debate), becomes a
reality.
The government officially claims that more
than half of those who breach their Asbo are imprisoned - but
in reality they are actually being locked up for other criminal offences at the same
time.
In reality more
than half were given much less
time or none at all.
New York's lieutenant governorship, however, has far more power
in theory
than reality, with a huge percentage of the position's
time spent promoting the governor and his agenda.
«The
reality is that
in many parts of the country health trusts deep
in deficit are slowing down patient referrals, extending hospital waiting
times rather
than reducing them.»
