On Sand or Stone
Two friends were walking through the desert. They had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand 'Today my best friend slapped me in the face'.
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. Afterwards he wrote on a stone 'Today my best friend saved my life'.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, 'When I slapped you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?' The other friend replied 'When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can pass and can erase what we have written. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase what has been written.'

Reciprocity
This is an introduction to the seven lessons reciprocity/ a social norm. unlike other teachers of this theory, the background and relevant examples are drawn mainly from the sacred scripture. Enjoy this story below: A very poor man lived with his wife whose hair was so long it touched the waist. One day the wife asked her husband to buy her a comb for her long hair so that it can continue to
grow well and to be well groomed. The man felt sorry and said he didn't... have money even to fix the strap of his watch which had just broken. The wife did not insist. On his way to work the man passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came back home in the evening with a comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised to see his wife with very short hair. She had cut and sold her hair and bought a brand new watch for her husband. Tears flowed simultaneously
from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love. Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own. Give love and show love where it matters and let it be the God centered love. Spread some good love and know that, God is love.

2. a new person, his or her character changes
3. a temple of Christ, and his Spirit
4. a free person, free from the chains of the underworld....
5. heir to the throne of grace, that's to say, the kingdom of God.
6. authoritative on earth and in heaven.
7. an authority on earth and in heaven.

The Question of Identity
It is as if we are in prison, it is as if we are on a race,
We want to know God, we want to know where we come from, we want to know where we are going.
How does one finish this race?
How does one break from this prison?
