Hello Friends,
Jil has made some mistakes in her past which have left a sore taste in her mouth. She can’t forgive herself. She is still beating herself. Does this resonate with you?
Uncle Leke steps in to tell her about Time Travel and what she can do deal with these mistakes from the past. Read on. You will learn something…
1. My dear Jil, today I want to talk about time travel. #Letr2Jil

2. I know… Sci-fi right? But Physics is such a titillation for me. You should study it. #Letr2Jil

3. The notion of time travel however presents a paradox- the Grandfather Paradox: #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
4. Can one go back in time and kill one's own grandfather before one's father was conceived? #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
5. This is the great paradox and scientists are grappling with it as with so many other bizzare realities of life. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
6. Do you know there's a theoretical framework in Physics that says you can arrive from a journey before taking off? #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
7. There's so much we don't know about life, so much to discover. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
8. Time travel of course raises questions about the nature of time itself. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
9. Is time linear like an arrow, or is it a constellation of spheres of existence, like planets as some suggest? #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
10. There's also the theoretical possibility of parallel universes. Does a "you" exist in another universe? #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
11. What is Physics without exciting crazy possibilities! I wish it were properly taught in schools! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
12. Through Physics we peer into the brilliant mind of God! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
13. Theoretically, there's nothing limiting time travel, either to the past or future. Reality is another thing entirely though. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
14. But suppose we can indeed do time travel. How wonderful that would be! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
15. Imagine if we can actually go into the past, to correct our paths in order to avoid the mistakes we have made. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
16. Or go into the past to ammend our track so as to escape the trauma visited upon us. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
17. If Molly can go into the past, she could make herself one minute late to Joke's party- just one minute! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
18. Then she'd have avoided meeting Emeka the Barbarian, and all the trauma and drama. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
19. What if Justina could make herself go to the other party? She would then have avoided being raped by Sam. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
20. If Kenny can adjust the course of history, she would avoid meeting John in the present. He drained her account. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
21. And Labake can also adjust her timeline not to sleep with Tunde. Then she wouldn't have been pregnant. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
22. Suppose, what if, perhaps, if… All these are suppositions and hypotheticals. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
23. Scientists are battling with time travel not knowing we already do time travel. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
24. We undertake journeys into our past with suppositions and hypotheticals. I know Clara does time travel. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
25. She told me her aborted fetus would have been 3 years old now! She keeps punishing herself with that thought. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
26. We can be so harsh on ourselves, flagellating our souls in search of penance for restitution. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
27. We beat up ourselves so much for mistakes of the past we become too weak to make the journey into our future. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
28. As if doing injury to the fleshly stock of our soul would edit the past. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
29. The past is the past. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
31. The problem most times is that we're unwilling to forgive ourselves. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
32. That unforgiveness can be worse than not forgiving others. Both are terrible variants of one another. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
33. We all make mistakes. We've all made mistakes. Except hypocrites of course. Their pasts are perfect. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
34. Amazing how God can graciously spare a man what he can't handle and he imagines himself a superman; begins to judge others! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
35. Sometimes we feel we've done such terrible things and God won't forgive us. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
36. Means you don't know God! He'll forgive anything, he's not a man. God forgives! And he keeps forgiving! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
37. Men of course won't forgive. It's why they say terrible things about you, such horrible things! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
38. Yet their opinion is irrelevant. The only opinion that counts is God's and he's NOT judging you! Forgive yourself! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
39. Let me quote an excerpt from David Jesse's Book of Poetry & Wonderments: #Letr2Jil

40. "God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
41. God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he’s rich in love. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
42. He doesn’t endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
43. He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
44. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
45. And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
46. As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
47. He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we’re made of mud… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
48. God ’s love…is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
49. Making everything right for them and their children as they follow his Covenant ways…" Psalm 103:6-18 MSG #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
50. This coming from a man who slept with another man's wife, impregnated her and tried to obscure paternity. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
51. He didn't stop there: he arranged the gentleman's murder; then he married his wife. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
52. If a murderer can script the foregoing, surely YOU can forgive yourself for being raped. (And how is that your fault?!) #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
53. Forgive yourself for making wrong choices in life, for stupidities of youth, for wilfulness, foolishness… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
54. Stop travelling into the past. Stop visiting the mistakes of your past in the vehicle of "If Only…" #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
55. The island of mistakes in your past is not a good tourist destination. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) December 7, 2013
56. God loves you because of your past, not despite your past. #Letr2Jil
