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.

Our Peace
Our Peace Comes Through Knowing Him “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:6-7 You’ve seen the slogan “Know Jesus. Know Peace.No…
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…
