Every book in the Bible speaks of spiritual beings. Not just God-the-Father and The Holy Spirit, but Christ (before and after His incarnation) Angels, Seraphim, Cherubim, Watchers (Daniel 4), Disembodied Human Spirits (what remains after physical bodies have died) and, of course, Satan and his followers. Do any of those…

The Baby boomers saw how their parents became slave of their work and materials around them and started questioning their way of life, church and faith, wondering of this was a good way to continue to build up our society.

Event Turkey has broken Nato unity on Finland and Sweden’s push to join the alliance, blocking an initial vote on accession after President Erdogan demanded that the two countries hand over dozens of Turkish exiles he accused of “terrorism”.

The Times, May 2, 2022 Event Ukraine, one of the most fertile and productive countries in the world, has been known historically as the “bread basket of Europe”.

The Times, April 16 Russia’s setbacks could prompt President Putin to use tactical nuclear weapons, William Burns, the CIA director, has said. Moscow has a stockpile of about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons, also known as low-yield or battlefield munitions, that can be deployed by air, sea or artillery. These are generally less potent than the […]

“The Bible is indeed the greatest book ever written. It has shaped the cultures of the world in countless ways, and it contains the words of everlasting life. But for so many today, it is largely opaque, indecipherable – at best a puzzling text from a prescientific age.” Bishop Robert Barron, The Word on […]
We admit that the Bible is not easy for everyone to follow. But usually, this is because the person does not believe in himself enough and is too much weighed down by entrenched human doctrines or dogmas that obscure the Biblical text.
The inability of Christians to grasp the meaning and message of both Genesis and Revelation create a great divide in America. Christians struggle with both the beginning and culmination of the Scriptures — the Alpha and the Omega as they might be called. Both Genesis and Revelation bring a lot of baggage with them to […]
American children have had a tough few years, but parents can help kids grow through the crisis, writes Anya Kamenetz in The New York Times. “By around age 8, most children are developing the cognitive maturity required to see that negative experiences may have benefits,” writes Kamenetz. That doesn’t mean parents should “push” kids to […]
In celebration of aviation trailblazer Bessie Coleman, a recent American Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Phoenix was staffed entirely by Black women, from the pilots to the cargo team. In the aviation industry, less than 1 percent of pilots are Black women, and that‘s why Captain Beth Powell said she was “beyond thrilled to […]

How often do we not hear from people that when they had certain questions about faith matters, that the priest or minister told them they should not ask such questions but should put their faith in God. What those ministers or priests would mean by that? Does the church discourage you from asking questions? is […]
Today I had a look at the cathedral of the Reigning King Christ at La Spezia, in Liguria, Italy. An awful huge round building only build in 2015, but already showing signs of being in ‘decay’, materially but probably also spiritually, not receiving many congregants anymore. It is something we can see all over Europe, […]

Under the pressure to raise successful kids, it’s easy for parents to blame themselves for all of their children’s struggles, writes Amy Paturel in The Washington Post. “Mom guilt” is rooted in the desire for parents to feel control over their child’s livelihood. “With this sort of ‘magical thinking,’ if you’re the cause, then you can […]

Queen Elizabeth II’s attitude was not always well understood, especially when it came to the domestic problems between her children, with Princess Diana in particular, but here and there she managed to bring the glue to mend the fractures by her children as well as by politicians and nations.

“Situaties en personen komen bij ons zoals het licht dat we erop schijnen vanuit onze gedachten. Hoe onbewust oordelen we anderen door het licht dat in ons is, veroordelen of keuren hen door ons begrip van wat goed en fout is, eerbaar en oneerbaar! We laten gewoon ons oordeel gelden door het licht wat in ons is.”
– Laura Ingalls Wilder

Originally it was “Marcus Space” but I was corrected about it when it would have to mean “the space of Marcus Ampe” that it should have an ” ‘s” added being “Marcus his space”.
Your thought is welcome, because I would love to know how it best would be. Before I changed it from Marcus Space I had done some search about the grammatical rules. Though not a linguist and not knowing the English language properly, having also to decide to take the UK, American or Australian English I chose the English from the United Kingdom (my mother having been born there and having lived there as well)
Looking at the Possessive adjective, personal and other pronouns in the Practical English Grammar edition of 1960/1969,impression of 1976 it is written it should be Mary’s father, when it is the father of Mary and Marcus’s blog when it is the blog of Marcus.
I am called Marcus and not Marcu, so according to what I understand of the grammatical rules explained in my old grammar book, from the period I had to teach in England (not language but a.o. history), I thought I should use the apostrophe s denoting “my space” is the space of Marcus Ampe = Marcus his space => Marcus’s Space.
I do know lots of things have been changed in Dutch, French and German, the languages spoken in Belgium where I live know and in 1999 I had a very serious car accident which made I lost my memory and lots of my knowledge and ability to speak several languages. But I want to continue to learn and where there is something wrong I would like to correct it.
So I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me please.
Thanks for taking the interest for visiting my blog and for willing to comment on it.
God bless.
