Poverty II
Poverty II
By Ralph Hathaway
Sometime in February 2015 I wrote a reflection on Poverty with two accompanying poems. One poem had to do with the personal acceptance of seeking a life without attachment to any type of material possessions; i.e. the choice of finding a connection to God without distractions of competing with oneself for treasures without meaning.

Poverty
Poverty
By Ralph Hathaway
I often wonder about evil, its existence and the effect it has upon so many people. If we think about evil and attempt to categorize the many different threads that are connected to this one abstract, yet real obtrusiveness in human history, we could absolutely go berserk in trying to list them.

Grace
By Ralph Hathaway
Is there anything more poignant that can be said about God and His deep and abiding love for us than this wonderful portion from his countenance?

Day 6 – the Beatitudes
