Sour Times

There will be terrible times in the last days. 

People will be lovers of themselves, 

lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, 

disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 

without love, unforgiving, slanderous, 

without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Have nothing to do with such people.

~ 2 Timothy 3

Light A Light

My days have passed,
my plans are shattered.
Yet the desires of my heart
turn night into day;
in the face of the darkness
light is near.

Fool That I Am

Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?

 There is more hope for a fool than for them.
