Conceptions of God

technology on the earth, but unfortunately, those creams don’t help to improve our face’s expressions, because aliveness in our facial skin comes from inside. Conversely, if we, like Moses, decide to take time and have a personal relationship with God in the temple without a veil; the Lord will also show his glory in our face, and without noticing it, our expression will change, because the sign of his divine nature will be also in us.

Tricked by my own walking fairytale. You think I came without hope of winning - came to escape the indignity of sorrow by suicide.” (89 Grendel). It is here that Grendel realizes the folly of heroes: they live with the idea that they will be forever memorialized with a heroic act in the name of god. Initially, he thinks…
