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 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…
