Does it ever feel like you have an enemy?
There is an Entity,
that fights to keep me back.
Everything I seek to do,
gets put on hold, with no control.
Over and over I try;
and again the effort dies.
My bills are always on time,
but my blessings never arrive.
Who makes everything wait?
Who calls around behind my back?
Bad news always finds a way,
but the good news waits and waits.
What is this thing that comes on time,
to make everything else seem to fail?
It’s not a coincidence,
when it’s obviously done.
I could have been a contender,
but this entity takes over.
Major business call coming?
Cell phone just quit working.
Everybody watching me?
I trip and fall in everything.
In a hurry to get out?
Something dumb breaks down.
Someone shows up to say hi?
Never the ones I really wanna see.
That Entity drags it’s feet,
and causes the world to twist.
Just to slow me down,
and make me give up.
Just to tick me off,
and make me fail.
Just to distract me,
and get me off track.
To keep me in this hole,
till the day I die.
Having never really lived,
except to chase my tail.
That Entity is real,
and I can’t seem to escape.
Sometimes, the Entity
is me.
But, not every time.
When will I be free?
I have faith it will come.

The Coming Persecution
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…
