MOMENT IN TIME
March 13th, 1881
Czar Alexander II, the ruler of Russia since 1855,
is assassinated in St. Petersburg
March 13, 1881: Czar Alexander II’s grandfather and
great-grandfather had been murdered and he himself
survived six regicide attempts. The deadly seventh
strike came on March 13, 1881 (March 1 according
to the Julian calendar used in Russia at the time).
He was travelling by carriage along the Catherine
Canal in St. Petersburg on his way from Mikhailovsky
Manege to the Winter Palace when a terrorist named
Nikola Rysakov tossed a package under the horses.
The blast damaged the rear of the coach and killed a
guard and a young boy. The unharmed Czar got out
of the carriage and walked around, making himself
vulnerable to a second bomb thrower,
Ignati Grinevitsky, who was part of the murderous
conspiracy. During his 26-year reign, Alexander II
had emancipated 23 million serfs, banned corporal
punishment in the military, given the defence a voice
in the courts, sold Alaska to the United States, fought
wars in the Crimea and Caucasus, and eased up on
his iron-fisted father’s censorship regime. Writers,
scientists and political movements flourished in this
period. Notable among them was the People’s Will,
a secret society of violent revolutionaries who believed
they could end autocracy by targeting the emperor.
The second package landed right at the Czar’s feet.

POWER FOR LIFE
Inspirational Guidance
for Daily Living,
by David Preston Sharp
Wood Lake Publishing,
Kelowna, BC. March, 2019
$24.95 Trade Paper. 246 pages.
ISBN #1-77343-159-8
Publisher's Promo:
Spiritual growth and learning involve change in behaviour.
Just like it is not easy to swing a golf club and hit a great drive
every time, daily living is fraught with challenges that test our commitment to be loving and peaceful. There are many ways
people grow spiritually. One person can make a huge jump in
an instant due to the circumstances of the day, or to a past
experiences; for others, spiritual growth may be more gradual, measured, and intentional.
In Power for Life, ordained minister, spiritual educator, life
teacher, and author David Preston Sharp offers a slow and
steady approach. Sharp shares both the process and the fruit
of a two-and-a-half-year meditation practice he engaged in
to further his own spiritual growth. The resulting guidance
offered in Power for Life revolves around basic themes such
as kindness, gentleness, joy, love, peace, and patience. It
also challenges our everyday level of compassion, self-control
and awareness.
In each of the 365 meditations, Sharp offers a “morning”
question for the reader to take into the day ahead, along
with words of guidance. Each “evening,” he reflects honestly
on his own experience of trying to live that guidance and
invites readers to do the same.
Power for Life is an invitation to greater spiritual maturity
and the joy, gratitude, and wonder such awakening can bring.

Author's Words:
This book is the fruit of meditation, contemplation, and
deep listening.
The motivation was my desire to deepen my communion
with God and grow in spiritual maturity.
As I started to write the words of this book , I began to
discern how to place the words on the page which is why
it looks like poetry... I was able to journey inward to the
place where then Spirit's guidance was clearly heard.
The more I engaged in this practice, the more I became
sensitive to Spirit's voice within.
I could feel the difference between the voice of the Spirit
coming through, and my own thinking voice that was trying
to manipulate the guidance. Though I have been doing this
practice for years now, I still experience wonder and awe
each time I receive a guidance...
I hope you enjoy journeying with these potent words and
messages...
Are you ready?
You must be, for if the book is in your hands, it is out of mine.
May God guide us all!
--
My Thoughts:
The book has a simple format for each day of the year.
I start in the morning with a question, followed by free
association poetic guidance which prompts me to "experience"
rather than "think" my way through the day.
The usual evening reflection helps me to consider the
developments of the intervening hours in a thoughtful,
but not regimented manner. I can then prepare myself
for rest.
What you have, therefore, is a kind of devotional companion.
Over the years, I have introduced various devotional books
on Colleagues List. This one is different in that it encourages
me to leave the discipline of the page and enter into a kind of
experiential journey, the kind on which a poet might lead me.
The writing is about basic things, but one can be carried into
new realms, not previously visited.
For those wanting to grow in their spiritual journey, especially
during the Lenten season, this book helps begin a new venture.
It may well open the door to a new way of spiritual reflection.

WISDOM OF THE WEEK
This is what my soul is telling me,
be peaceful and love everyone.
- Malala Yousafzai
--
We seek justice in the world, we fight for the
flourishing of each and all, not just because
we suffer with others, but because we sense
the luminosity and love the loveliness.
- Mayra Rivera
--
Like our Saviour, we too carry evidence of our
wounds. The invisible scars in our hearts and
soul, the scars no one sees, are marks of beauty.
They are the hurts that draw us nearer to our
mortality, that compel us to not look away from
the condition of our souls.
- Erendira Ramirez-Ortega
--
I want to be outside with the misfits, with the rebels,
the dreamers, second-chance givers, the radical
grace lavishers, the ones with arms wide open, the
courageously vulnerable, and among eve - or maybe
especially - the ones rejected by the Table as not
worthy enough or right enough.
- Sara Bessey
--
Purging the soul is a lifetime effort. There is no
reason to be upset by our imperfections, for
perfection is nothing more than fighting against
them. How can we resist them unless we see
them? How can we overcome them unless we
face them?
- Francis de Sales
--
Forgiveness is the answer to the child’s dream
of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole
again, and what is soiled is made clean again. The
dream explains why we need to be forgiven, and
why we must forgive. In the presence of God,
nothing stands between him and us – we are
forgiven. But we cannot feel his presence if
anything is allowed to stand between ourselves
and others.
- Dag Hammarskjöld

If I am soft to myself and slide comfortably into
self-pity and self-sympathy, if I do not by the grace
of God practice fortitude, then I know nothing of
Calvary love. If I myself dominate myself, if my
thoughts revolve round myself, if I am so occupied
with myself I rarely have “a heart at leisure from
itself,” then I know nothing of Calvary love.…
That which I know not,teach Thou me, O Lord,.

Christ was crucified because he would have nothing
to do with the crowd (even though he addressed
himself to all). He did not want to form a party,
an interest group, or a mass movement, but wanted
to be what he was, the truth, which is related to the
single individual. Therefore everyone who will
genuinely serve the truth is by that very fact a martyr.
genuinely serve the truth is by that very fact a martyr.
To win a crowd is no art; for that only untruth is needed,
nonsense, and a little knowledge of human passions.
But no witness to the truth dares to get involved with
the crowd.
