Fool for Christ
Fool enough to follow
Fool enough to believe
Fool enough to take a stand
Fool enough to speak up
Fool enough to ask
Fool enough to listen
Fool enough to trust His Word
Fool enough to to play the fool

Refugees
Bowing their heads as they go
Shoulders drooped
Discouraged
Tattered

The party is over
The fight has begun
And we are not saved
The Cities come crashing
And tumbling down
The stench lingers
As it descends
Reach out and touch them
Lift them and heal them
And carry them home in your arms
We are not saved
We are [...]
Songs……, the songs of the soul……, – are inherent. We all sing, even the Orcs.
In the Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien describes their songs in these words, “Sam heard a burst of hoarse singing, blaring of horns and banging of gongs, a hideous clamour…”
A hideous clamour, indeed.
And of what do we [...]
