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.

Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
