she may do other things but her mind is on the child.”

Dream

God is so smart, said with utmost Respect, that He made us (knowing man would try to block Him) with a wonderful “Inside Passage” called Dreams. When we’re awake we’re used to choices – in dreams we have no choice. We dream what He prescribes and He makes them as real as He wants. God has spoken to people through a dream – I am one of those.

Childhood Survived

Do you still delight

To see a bird in flight

Or watch him bring his feet from the rear

And put down his “landing gear”?

Do you thrill to see

Geese in their vee

Pushing north in the spring

On out-spread wing?

Do you like to see the limb sway

When a squirrel on his way

Jumps from one tree to his neighbor

With seemingly small labor?

Do you still somehow enjoy

As you did when a girl, a boy

The slight sly form of Mr. fox

Slipping by in white socks?

Do you bend your head low

To smell flowers in their glow

Or take a few in where it’s mild

Samples of God’s “natural wild”?

If one of the above “is you”

You still do as you used to do,

Rejoice. A little of your childhood days

Survived the balding or the “grays.”

God doesn’t desire “comedy

Natural laughter is good and many times comes accidentally.

The world has been paying money for “comedy” – to laugh unnaturally. NOW – – – the church is bringing in “comedy.” Friend, God doesn’t desire “comedy” – He, August Being that He is, desires/deserves worship. In TIME, sinners try to laugh but sadly will weep in Eternity. In Time, saints weep but will rejoice in Eternity.
