Rain
Jogging through puddles
Under refreshing flood.
My face pressed forward-
My heart filled with blood.
It is not an accident I run;
It is not a mere state of chance.
I am pursuing that calling-
Though men may look askance.
It takes a dedication;
A drive of abandonment
It takes a sense of purpose-
Loves greatest commandment
I am currently reading Ronald Reagans Autobiography and find it interesting the thoughts going through his head and the assault on morality and the Constitution then and now. I Believe this book shows a few vital similarities.
1. Prayer for the conservative canidate as Ronald Reagan attested to the Power of God through the prayer of others.
2. That true leaders do not decide to run, they are called to fulfill a destiny in helping to save the nation.
3. Rights come from God.
4. As always if the nation turns to Christ its greatest days could be ahead.
I just watched the encounter. As far as Christian films go not bad though in the aspect of Jesus actually coming back personally a little theologically questionable since he sits at the right hand of God till his return. Other than that it seemed pretty sound and the weaving in of scripture was well done. I especially liked the ending which reminded me of a book called arena where angels appear as psychologist.
The scariest part if there is such a thing was the inclusion of the devil and his leading the one individual to his eternal death. This individual was set up for this from the very beginning. I would have preferred all been saved since I enjoy unrealistic optimism in tv but I can’t complain on this score too much as Christ was plainly portrayed as the victor He is.

You were a child;
Alone on a beach
You built a sand castle
With impediments speech
With the surging of tides
Derision of throngs
Bidding yea waif give in
To just run along
You rose out of waters,
With rocks in your hand;
But the field has changed
Will you be able to stand?
Orator of legends speak:
The beaches they thunder
The waves foam beneath
The skies they are under.
I saw a story where an atheist student was offended by a prayer on the wall. It never bothered her till someone called it to her attention. However the main thing was she got it taken down because it made her ” feel unwelcome”/offended her.
It would be equal time if we could get the faith of evolution thrown out of schools because this unproven theory//faith offends Christians.
You often hear about the greed in big business, There should be more said about the greed in big government and socialistic ideals. That is both greed for money, or others possessions, and power.
It is easy to talk about faith but it is harder to talk about ones relationship with Jesus. The very God who has let us know that few find salvation but that the way to destruction is wide.
People who deny the existence of Hell deny the Deity of Christ for if there is no hell and no eternal consequence then God can not be just and there is no need for redemption.
Running through fields
Out in the fields of the windy wide plains
I walked in the wonder of childhood’s fame
Before that knowledge clouded skies frame
Before the arrows of deceit blotted the light
It wasn’t the knowledge that darkened the font
It wasn’t intricate nature thatcreated a want
It was an age of reason and love-
It was the doubt of the faith deep inside
Out from id’s cunning simpering pride
Out in the field the skies should have told;
That knowing suspicion and foreign unrest
It poisoned the water and came from the West.
It will not conquer: ths pollution of thoughts.
It will not destroy that for which it has come,
For I am a child and I can still run.
