HOPE AND FAITH AS TRAPS

We can do nothing about the future. Just the present.

A TEST OF FAITH

A TEST OF FAITH

The land was struck by a tremendous flood. Everyone escaped to higher ground, but a Minister found himself stuck on the roof of his house. A man in a boat came by and said, “Come on, Father, get in my boat and I’ll row you to safety.” “Oh, no thank you. God will save me!” said the Minister.

Seeking for guidance
Found a voice not an echo
A good place to start

PERSONAL IMPERFECTIONS

PERSONAL IMPERFECTIONS

Sometimes we forget
Then sometimes we remember
What we believe in

I SEE

And what it’s not it’s not

That my perception

Of my experience
Is worthy of trust
