We are prisoners
I was driving today;
when I saw a Blue Heron,
by a beautiful lake.
The sun sparkled;
like fireworks on the water,
and the bird fished in peace.
When I saw this it dawned on me,
that man is the only
creature of God’s Creation,
who begs another man for food.
He is the only one,
who is a slave,
for food, water, health,
and a place to dwell.
The heron took off in flight;
majestic in freedom,
to find a new lake.
While we are trapped,
to the whims of fear,
and the power of the Man.
Do you see the reality of the world we live in? This construct ruled by others? It’s a place where we struggle to produce something we never own. Like sheep for the shearer.

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…
