That Butterfly Life

I’ll Fly Away

This miserable world,
Where loved ones lie.

Where the innocent suffers,
And the good ones die.

Where hunger hurts,
And the body aches.

Where sadness prevails,
And fear takes control.

We crawl through this plane,
Like a worm on a leaf.

Consuming more and more,
And wasting away.

Till we sleep in darkness,
A worthless death.

To awake one-day, 
Changed to new life.

Free to fly and float,
From beauty to beauty

On wings of love
With God in the wind.

Consuming blessings,
In eternal bliss.

Our former selves,
Never missed.

The Coming Storm

The signs of the times Meteorologists warn us about coming storms. Whether it’s a freezing rain and snow or a summer tornado. Folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels or flash lights. They check on family. They stay home…

Thanking God

We owe Him everything God gave us life. He gives us the things we need and the joys of this world. When we get saved and know Him, we see that He gives us so much more. We realize that everything comes from Him and all of it works together for our good. Our thankfulness…
