Book Launch Event

Compete to Win the First
Arnot Award of $500
by Sharing Your Thoughts on How God Exists in Earth

How Does God Exist in Earth?  

​

We are often very busy.... too busy to fit in the years of work needed to meaningfully explore the reality of God in Earth, despite its potential importance in our lives.  In the fictional book, "Jim Ignatowski, David Bohm and Saint Augustine Walk Into a Bar", James Tonra tells a story to communicate the results of investing free time for 20 years researching and thinking about science, God and how God could exist in our world of space and time. 

​

Dr. Tonra would like to know your thoughts, and looks forward to giving the Arnot Award of $500 to the individual with the most insightful and moving words.

Words Shared: The Journey Continues

How God Exists In Earth: Contribution from Sheena

GOD means Giver of Desires. He is omnipresent . He lives everywhere on just not only on earth but in the whole universe . He is present in our hearts in the form of positive thoughts which promote us to good things. He lives inthe form of nature just because of Him only the season changes . He lives in the form of animals , different different creatures,poor peoples, in the form of saints.If any person helps to someone who is really in need for him he was like a messenger of God to him.For me Heis everything,everywhere in this world . He is always besides me .I feel him in my prayers.just because of him only we can breathe ,talk walk,eat and can do everything.when you make happy to anyone it gives you also that much happiness,peace and satisfaction that you are on a right path which takes you more and more near to the GOD. He is present in our prayers just because of him only our wishes become true .He has no colour,no structure ,but still he is in everyone.He cannot be expressed in words I can just feel him in my self .I feel shivering,when he is around mei can feel his presence around me . He is everywhere and in every thing.we don't have to go in spritual places to search him. Where ever you remembers him with love and affection He is always there for them the whole world is created by him so he is present everywhere and in everyone.

The Best Medicine:
Share the funniest thing that has happened in your life

Laughter, especially with friends, is a great gift in life that helps us get through the tough times.  In "Jim Ignatowski, David Bohm and Saint Augustine Walk Into a Bar", Jimmy (AKA James) Tonra incorporates many of the funniest things that happened in his life into the story.  These were the events that caused laughter so hard that it physically hurt; it was awesome.  If you would like to share the funniest thing that happened in your life, for the potential therapeutic value to others, please do so below.  

Thank You! Peace, Love and Happiness Be With You

When I bought my patty fir lunch it fell out of the bag and I didn't know.  I stepped on it and was asking my classmates whose patty is that only to find out it was mine.
