Swimming in its murky depth,
Along with the masses,
A sinful dip in what we sow,
Surfacing to an orange hue,

Father said I told you so,
The end is near,
Just look at the glow,
Realizing too late,
Their sins of greed,

People panic to a stampede,
Desperately climbing,
For there is no salvation,
For those who did not believe,

I tried to climb without a hold,
I Am said that it was too late to scale,
Behold what you have made for yourselves,
A fiery lake is where I was,

We stole from the poor to give to the rich,
Treasures that were only temporary,
An eternity abandoned in favor of blindness.

“Oh, well” I said,
I needed that good kick,
You know the one,
From one end of the gutter to the other

So this is bad I know, but I am paranoid.

Grr... boys are icky.  Just had to get that thought out, Ryan, because you know what I mean.

Anyway.. you know I like this one.. a lot.  I'm glad that you changed the ending back because I enjoy it bunches.  It's sad that no one has replied to this, but if you write it, they will come...

Get home from work...

It's not bad, and I think when it comes to conscience a lot of us are a little paranoid Seems life has a way of catching up with you if you do wrong.  Nice to see you in here Ryan.

Allysa- As always I'm overjoyed that you replied. Yes guys can be icky. On behalf of all men, allow me to apologize. I'm not sure how much I like the ending, but oh well. I can cope  

Mysteria- I appreciate the confidence boost. Life has some very ironic ways of catching up I've noticed. God has a sense of humor. I appreciate the welcome. However I may move this to open. Sadly it doesn't seem that all that many people come into spiritual, which is a shame because there a great many eloquently penned works that don't get read much in here. Thanks again!

The signs are there. It's always been available to *all* not just a *chosen* few to see Heaven. It's a free will choice. God is no respector of persons. [A link below] to explain why God made this a distinction. I loved reading this. It's truth, and truth gives me hope. What a blessing it was, and how I could have ever doubted God I will never know? Someone encouraged me, and reminded me i'm only human.
Bless ya bunches for sharing this.

James 2:1-5.

(big hugggsssssss) This is where we have free will; to decide if we're going to believe or not, and determine our direction from here in result! (sad sigh) We all are entitled to the opportunity to find our way to heaven, and sadly many wish not to and they only find themselves struggling to swim! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, I am glad to see you posting here, we all love you so much! You have such  a beautiful heart, sweet Ryan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
