Ne Plus Ultra

One of my favorite words is the noun ne plus ultra, which also means “the extreme or perfect point or state, the highest point; the most intense degree of a quality or state.” This Latin word literally means “not more beyond (that is, go no further), allegedly a warning to sailors inscribed on the Pillars of Hercules at Gibraltar.”[1]

Graduation

Barbara Jo was born on January 14, 1929 in Kellogg, Idaho. Trapped in a nursing home by Covid-19, depressed and unable to leave her room for months, she wasted away to a mere 75 pounds before finally reaching earth’s finish line at the age of 91. Fortunately, her life was not defined by her death.

Marking People With Grace

Ron and Joyce York

At the age of 88, my dad is walking the final chapters of his life on earth still on fire to share the gospel with any and every person he can. Mark Cahill wrote the book One Thing You Can’t Do In Heaven and that one thing is evangelism. Dad is making sure he maximizes now what he won’t be able to do once he is home.
I’m working on writing a biography of his life and was challenged by an entry in his journal on October 10, 1983 while he was serving as the country leader for the Navigators in the Philippines.

Eternity

Have you given much thought to contemplating eternity? The Cambridge Dictionary defines eternity as “time that never ends or that has no limits.” If we think of numbers and space we just scratch the surface on the complexity of forever. To count to one trillion would take 31,709.79 years.[1] It is believed today that the Milky Way is probably between 100,000 and 150,000 light years across. The observable universe is much larger—about 93 billion light years in diameter.[2] A light year is a measure of distance not time and equals almost six trillion miles.[3] How infinitely miniscule even a centenarian’s life registers against eternity!
