Shelter from the Storm

   What had begun as a calm conversation between two men, now has risen in intenseness that the two were now yelling at each other. It didn't take long either, the conversation which had begun reasonably enough, turned as if on a dime, turned into anger and turmoil, and it devolved quickly into what it is now. In actual earth time, approximately five minutes is all it took. 

   People, when did we become so touchy and short tempered, more importantly, why? A spirit of darkness has hung over this land for too long. Clouds dark with fear and despair, now, are about gathering the spreading darkness into storm clouds that bring lightning and wind blown hail. Can you not see it, do you not feel the change in humidity? Mighty thunderclouds which are amassing now above us, they rumble, and they speak a warning of the ever closer storm, a storm like no other in this modern age. Bolts of lightning big as trees, rock like hail blown sideways by terrible winds. A true deluge of damp misery. 

  But there remains still a shelter from the storm. A place of refuge, a place of safety and peace. You cannot deny that you know Him, even though so many have tried so desperately. His voice can be heard from the canyons, a voice like the sound of many waters. He freely beckons to all,  will you still not heed it? 

A Sunday Conversation

  Lord keep me from compulsive action, For a matter must be considered before even our first utterance of reply or any other reaction. Your Wisdom echoes in my mind, deep from within, for as is the physical brain, the spiritual mindset is much the same. Perhaps the term, split personality might make it clearer. Our minds as are all other things, come from Truth. And again, as is everything else when it is truth that is the desire, after all the debate is through, and you have finally arrived at the heart of the matter, the answer is always a simple one, this is the way of logic, eventually you arrive that there are only two directions, it gets boiled down to the basics, Is it or isn't it, one is right, the other wrong. The coin of life is this way also. In what we now know, that everything that is is precisely as it should be. That both the largest and the smallest, The cycle of life follows this logic. In this finely tuned reality from the micro to the macro, scripture tells us directly and personally, you are as is all humanity, made in the image of God. Without God, you are you, and you is all you'll ever be. Two sides, and two sides only. A flip of the coin is for us all, the reality of what it is that we will be/. The coin you ask? 

  Well, to truly understand the answer, you must first answer a question. The very first step is often the hardest for many. When asked of yourself, you must agree to understand and admit, that He and he alone is God, and you are not. For on this two sided coin, on the One side is light and life, on the flip side? Not.
