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 Burden Of Prayer
Sometimes we have a burden I’m not a very good Christian. I’m just not. If you followed me around everyday with a camera. You’d be like, “What’s wrong with this guy?” God saves us despite our sinfulness. He works to change us. Trust me. I’m better than I used to be. I say this because…
