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.

On Father’s Day
Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. 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…
