John 21:21-23
21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
Acts 1:6-7
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
Poem
The house of Israel, He will bless
The house of Aaron, He will bless
Those who fear the Lord - small & great alike, He will bless
Let the Lord make you increase
Both you and your children increase
To the Lord belongs the highest heavens
Let be blessed by the Lord the maker of earth
But He has given to man the earth
(poem adapted from Psalm 115)

The evil I do not want, I do. That is sin of the evil spirit.
The good I do want, I do. That is good of the Holy Spirit.
There is no other original version of me, than my own self (i.e., the self of mine)
Difference is distinction of two things, two facts, or people, or living beings.
Radiance is not appearance; it is an emanation of nature or character. Radiance is a celestial reflection; it expresses a virtue, a value.
Radiance and brilliance are different; joy and happiness are distinct.
