Two Wolves
One evening before the great fire in the center of camp a warrior turned grandfather sat
with his young grandson by his side. He spoke in a voice filled by many moons of life and
wisdom. "My son," he began, "there is a great battle that goes on inside of all men. It is
called the struggle of the two wolves that live in each of us."
"One is evil.....it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, false pride, lies and ego."
"What is the other grandfather?" the young boy asked.
"The other is good.....it is joy, peace. love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
truth, empathy, generosity, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought for a moment and asked, "Which of the wolves wins this great
battle grandpa?"
The grandfather paused for a moment, putting his arm around the young boy and replied,
"The one we feed, my son."

In The Beginning!
My good friend John is on a personal sojourn through the annals of time and recorded history that provide him with insights concerning the origins of "Biblical Truths." Thus far his journey has taken him all over the globe. We have the opportunity in our technologically developed world to obtain more knowledge(printable)in an hour than one could have accumulated in a year at the turn of the 19th century. What does this do for us? Well, it can create a lot of confusion simply because THERE IS SO MUCH OUT HERE. I do not presume to have all the answers, but I've got a good handle on some of them. Considering the task I have begun with this blog, I would very much like to continue challenging my own abilities by extending an invitation to the reader. My alternate E-Mail is: prchth@yahoo.com; (Please place, "I Want To Know" in your subject line) Should you have questions and are actively seeking answers, also, let me know! Only God knows what can be accomplished through faith. In Christ's Love, Preacher.
