The Thorn
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:7. The rose in all its beauty Shares its glory in wonder fair. Lures us […]
A Blessing Instead of Revenge
(~) “A BLESSING INSTEAD OF REVENGE” There will be times in all of our lives where we’re treated very harshly and unfair. And no matter how hard we look for the justice we find that it just isn’t there. When we’re offended and in pain, our normal response is to retaliate and somehow repay. For […]
A Bend in the Road
(~) A Bend in the Road When we feel we have nothing left to give And we are sure that the “song has ended”– When our day seems over and the shadows fall And the darkness of night has descended. Where can we go to find the strength To valiantly keep on trying, Where can […]

Witch Hunt
The night is black Without a moon. The air is thick and still. The vigilantes gather on The lonely torchlit hill. Features distorted in the flickering light, The faces are twisted and grotesque.

Pleasure and Sorrow
I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chattered all the way; But left me none the wiser, For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow And ne’er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me! by: Robert Browning Hamilton
