Anyone with a basic understanding of "Moore's or Metcalf's" laws knows that this information age offers more and more accelerated changes and innovations. With all of the data available today and the sheer amount of processing power, artificial intelligence and scientific advancements, why did it take so long to develop a vaccine, a pill or discover a way to stop the spread of Covid-19? Although many feel that these vaccines were developed too fast, we question what took it so long! It seems somewhat naive to believe that creatures capable of so much can fall so short. We have traveled to and landed on other planets. We now fly into space riding earth's orbit. We pilot cars, ships, trains and planes autonomously. We've connected our entire planet electronically. So why is it so hard to prevent us from infecting one another with contagious germs. Isn't that easier then space exploration? After pharmaceutical companies make profit with injections look for an antiviral in the form of a pill. If anyone is looking for a conspiracy theory; try this on for size. We are now experiencing the "Holocene or Anthropocene sixth mass extinction" of our planetary history. Does this purge include mankind? Is nature the force behind it or are we doing this to ourselves. The driving force of change is more then change itself! We need grace to accept progress, embrace change and re-evaluate tradition. Life is impartial. Although it may appear that life favors some people over others, that is not the case. Everyone is destined to reap whatever they sow. This is a universal law. There are people like "Noah" who find grace and save not only themselves but other associated with them. Grace coupled with faith can save us from ourselves.  Many people FEEL and BELIEVE that life is partial and unfair. Some tend to say that God and/or life is just trying to teach us a lesson. That is being very careless with language. A lesson is a prepared, prearranged series of procedures or steps specifically created to guide, instruct or teach, not punish us. God nor life is in the business of getting even. Maybe God/life is trying to tell us something? Life is naturally simple and easy. Living life to its fullest takes work. There is only one mandatory law, concept, principle and practice that we all must follow. The instructions are straightforward the communication is very simple and plain. JUST LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR! There are no complexities to that commandment. Grace compensates for any difficulties we have with expressing love. The universe has no problems when it comes to articulating exactly what God wants us to know. Life does not send mixed messages, people do. Life's messages are pretty obvious. God understands how our feelings and emotions operate. Grace, "helps us to,...shows us how,...reveals when,...and knows what..."  We may not like the road, don't want to pay the dues, have problems with the messenger, don't like the message or just don't want to go through with what it takes to get there. When people finally get the revelation that they create most of their own barriers and obstacles it can be overwhelming. Discovering that we are our own worse enemy is difficult because no one wants to see themselves as the source of their own suffering. We all want something or someone else to blame! This is the same blame game Adam used in the "Garden of Eden." Adam verbally blamed Eve, but in reality he blamed the God that created her for him. God's judgement ushered in Grace. By opening the "eyes of our hearts" we can see God's grace in action.

The triangle, tripod and three-legged frameworks of all sorts represent a basic form of fundamental self-supported structures. This rudimentary "Trinitarian" principle applies across multiple aspects of existence. The "rule of three" conceptually follows the "rule of two." It takes two to tango. The dance creates a third distinct manifestation. Procreation, namely childbirth, is the miraculous continuation of a species and manifestation of God's blessings. The "tango" is spawned from the mutual cooperative actions of two. It ALWAYS takes two to produce a third even stronger bond. Ecclesiastes" declares that A threefold cord is not quickly broken.  Three is a magic number!

Relationships built upon the three legs of communication, nurturing and cooperation generate mutual feelings which form a triangle of interdependence. Interactions built upon the three legs of empathy, understanding and forgiveness create a triangle of healing and revival. It should be obvious by now that although two is the start of most relationships, three provides an even stronger foundation. The main caveat is that more energy and effort is required. We should anticipate expending additional strength to maintain it. If more people understood the true meaning of love's expressions infidelity would be rare and divorce would be even more rare. The level of commitment while dating, is insufficient for the level of commitment when engaged. The level of commitment when engaged is insufficient for the level of commitment when married. The level of commitment for a married couple is insufficient for the level of commitment when married with children. Most of us know that yesterday's news does not make tomorrows headlines. It may not be wise to rely solely upon today's present answers to solve tomorrow's challenges. 

Whenever the subject of love is discussed, sex may also be included. Love and sex are two different things. Their close association should not confuse their obvious distinctions. Both require some degree of self-exposure or nakedness, but only love can create "spiritual" intimacy. Sex is always expressed physically, whereas love spans at least three dimensions of existence. The marriage of an emotional, physical and spiritual union constitutes another unique level of love known as connubial bliss! love is expressed physically, mentally (emotionally/psychologically) and spiritually (consciousness/soul). In marriage sex should seal the deal through the bond of love. Sexual intercourse is an alignment between physical sexual desire, emotional fulfillment and the "spirit of intimacy." The sharing and joining of physical, biological, chemical, psychological and spiritual freedoms can be uniquely expressed throughout a marital union. The threefold interaction of giving, receiving and exchanging power through sex should never be underestimated. The "spiritual" purpose of sex is the formation of a conjugal perpetual unbreakable bond. The "biological/physical" purpose of sex is for the formation of family, pleasure and procreation. Love is difficult to describe without mentioning marriage. Marriage commits its participants to form a unique bond that can only be found in that estate. That level of emotional commitment sealed with intimacy by a physical sexual union should not be shared with any others. Even the thought of such is sin! No married couple should ever share this element of their heart in fantasy, imagination or in jest. Sharing this part of the heart only tears the marriage apart! Remember the vows.
