Dared Evil - Special Edition

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
- Ephesians 6:12-13

I'm thankful I have Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the greatest champion, on my side! Sometimes I get so angry at all the injustice in the world, I want to lash out at the enemy. But, I know that His Word, prayer, truth, righteousness, peace, faith and the promise of salvation are on my side!

Shadowland - POEM of the MONTH!

Shadowland

Shadow to shadow
Desperate for rest
Weekend to weekend
A soul distressed

Window to window
Stationary or mobile
Distraction in action
Drama gone global

Pillow to pillow
Temple is trampled
Hollow narcissism
Left disemboweled

Memento to memento
Sacramental reliance
Left with barren branches
Unobtrusively religious

Sorrow to sorrow
Dollar to dime
Sickness to sickle
Wealth by crime

Tomorrow to tomorrow
Where nothing is new
The journey is blurred
With or without a view

Windows of tomorrow
Hollow and anxious
Mementos of sorrow
Shadows to darkness ...

Shadowland (Epilogue) - POEM of the MONTH!

Shadowland - Epilogue

Stop, before being stopped.
Turn, from hollow to hallow
Under the arms of the Vine
In whose rest has no shadow
