Positioning
August 30, 2015
Again , I battle my pride of position, the place where I sit upon my throne. The place I stand in my high and mighty fortress , overseeing my realm.

August 17, 2015
Deep in the muck and the mud and the mire I began to be formed long before the fire. At first I was dry, lifeless and void, nothing of value or goodness; abhorred.

Setting the Course
August 9, 2015
Setting the course heading up north, Forgetting not what’s been, wondering what will be, yet trusting, trusting, only in thee. I need not understand, simply trusting in thee; you are my compass.

Looking for a better life, trusting in the God of lights. Ready for a better way, It’s time today. The old things have passed away, ready for a new way; at last it’s today.

Vanity Fair
August 6, 2015
Vanity Fair, its temptations everywhere, Or majestic glory in holiest truth; Living in realms of wonder. These mutually exclusive kingdoms catch our hearts in between. Vanity Fair, serving our self-made airs, or seeking the face of grace in truth; It’s the choice we’ve made from youth. The realms of God, The kingdoms of this world, We … More Vanity Fair
