It may also be unwise to use the same pictures from other posts to craft a narrative about a controversial subject, but again, there may be a reason why these pictures are still on my desktop, perhaps waiting for another use, illustrating another risky conclusion.
It was early when I woke up, still dark outside, but a time to think, to consider, to pray, and maybe to write. It was quiet, but the headline of the Florida Times Union was not silent, as it lay in the driveway of a house on my route, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT it screamed, and I knew what it was talking about.
The sunrise was coming, right on schedule. All over, people were watching it come up on another new day.
What were they thinking about? Was this one dreading what might happen today? Was he looking expectantly for a dawn of blessing? What was the future?
Did the future look like this building? People passing by it on the road, commenting on the sign, or the way the sun lit it up, seeing it as a relic of the past, but with little relevance for today, old fashioned and only good for nostalgic snapshots. What is an apiary anyway?
But there was another building on our route the other day, one built in the same time period, that was still in use, performing the same functions as it had over all these years.
One building irrelevant in the course of daily life, the other still serving.
One building, and its people, still vibrant and blessed. One not.
One making a difference, one relegated to the scrap pile of history.
A lesson for America. I sure hope so.
The slippery slope just got a bit more….
All over our great country tomorrow, men and women, boys and girls will bow their heads and repeat a prayer of Jesus, and when they get to the line that states "Thy Will Be Done", I pray that we will all be ready for it.
Congress and the Supreme Court are not the solution, Christian people are…
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Which of the buildings above will be our symbol and denote our land?
