Rise Up and Walk

Wellness Poem by Chris Bunton

Rise up and walk;
when life’s got you down.

Rise up and walk;
your way around town.

When depression sets in;
and you only see the end.
Rise up and walk.

A little here. A little there.
Around the block;
or down a beautiful trail.
Rise up and walk.

If you’re sick;
 pray and believe.
Then, rise up and walk.

Trapped in a place?
Rise up and walk.
Use those legs to escape;
and carry you away.

Bored with life?
Bored with those gray, lazy days?
Rise up and walk.
Go see the sites.

Use your super power;
to rise up and walk.
Take yourself away,
from the troubles of any day.

A Look at Matthew 24 “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive…

How Are We Tempted?

It’s important to understand. In order to resist temptation, we must understand what is going on. If we miss an aspect of it, we cannot really resist it. We just shift it around or suffer through. “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with…

How Do I Turn To God?

What does that look like? It’s so simple anyone can do it. That is how God designed it. I’m going to avoid magical theological words and just give it straight. As we go through life things happen to us. Good things and bad. We have excitement over good things. We celebrate victories and enjoy time…
