Thoughts From The Heart On The Left

March 12, 2013

“Just a thought”


I get a daily summary of science news from Sigma Xi and the end of each newsletter is a quote. The quote for March 7th was

Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man’s power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.” –Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, Swiss author

I wanted to post this because 1) I thought it was interesting and 2) I wanted to put it somewhere where I could find it in the event that I wrote a piece on that idea. And I also wanted to share it with you all. :)

This coming Sunday, 17 March 2013, the 5th Sunday in Lent, I am scheduled to be at Grace United Methodist Church, Putnam Valley, NY. The Scriptures are Isaiah 43: 16 – 21, Philippians 3: 4 – 14, and John 12: 1 – 8. I have tentatively entitled the message “What Path Shall We Walk?” Services are at 10 and you are invited to attend.

On Sunday, April 7, 2013, the 2nd Sunday of Easter, I am scheduled to be at Sugar Loaf (NY) United Methodist Church. The Scriptures are Acts 5: 27 – 32, Revelation 1: 4 – 8, and John 20: 19 -31. The message is tentatively entitled “Is Seeing Believing” and there is a possibility that the above quote will be used. 

To update things, I will not be at Putnam Valley Grace UMC this Sunday and the message that I am scheduled to give at Sugar Loaf UMC is not entitled “Must We See To Believe?”  Services are at 11 am and you are welcome to attend.

  1. Dear Anne Louise – so right. If only it was so!
    Just yesterday at work a friend commented in his broken English how awful that so many scientists continued to invent new ways of mass murder instead of ways to feed and shelter more humans.

    • Steven,
      I hope that she gets your comment. She lived from 1766 to 1817.
