Poem by Chris Bunton
What is a friend to me?
Well it’s none of those
SOB’s
If you know what I mean.
A friend invites me places,
They want me to come.
Not as a charity.
But, because they enjoy me.
A friend doesn’t,
tell me what to do.
They don’t play stupid,
Tough love games.
My friends mind,
Their own business.
And I mind my own.
They don’t cross lines.
My friends laugh,
When I’m inappropriate.
They don’t call me out,
And I don’t call them out.
I don’t have to lie,
To my real friends.
They never ask,
And can handle the truth.
In case you wondered,
I don’t have many friends.
I toss them away
When they cross me.
And they always cross me.

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…
