Anytime in the Bible, where blood and violence were upon the land, so were curses. That land was defiled. It was deemed worthy of God’s wrath, especially when the people did not repent. Plagues, disorder, disunity, severe lack and punishment were in places such as this. The blessings of God were withheld. Monroe is as one of these places. Violence and misery are all throughout the city. Bullying (especially adults), fleecing of flocks, idolatry, violence and so much more, are in the land, and h...

This writer is convinced that most of us like to see the glass half full rather than half empty. When the glass is half full, there is room to add more. By contrast, when one sees the glass as half empty, there is the possibility of losing more of what is already in the glass. If one takes an honest look at what is happening in this nation and quite frankly the world, the glass is half empty. As we get ready to go through another election season, we can see the usual attacks coming from both sides of the political system, with each side...

This week, I’ve felt the need to do different things in my life, so I hope you all enjoy this short poem I’ve written. Hearing is the act of perceiving sounds yet why do we not listen? A few of us will learn to by listening, but we don’t see the vision. If we can’t see our vision, then we may perish. Things unheard yet seen are deep within our souls and hearts. Only God can tear them apart. We should write the vision and make it plain. The poem is short, but I would like everyone to understand t...
