“Good people” ?

Seen at their “best” (when things are going-their-way) there are millions of “good people.”   Seen at their “worst” (when carnality is raging in Hatred, Jealousy, Lust, Murder, Pride, War, etc.) that number is d-r-a-s-t-i-c-a-l-l-y reduced. (Please friend, do not comfort yourself that you are “basically” a good person; Come to Christ.)

KEITH

 

Private First Class in the stone is cut

That stone up on the hill,

And the space between the numbers there,

A few years would fill.

And the name is same as I bear;                      

We were a pair.

– eab, 1966 *If he were living he’d have turned 80 today.*

Pics are confining

#2 “A picture is worth a thousand words”

(See 11/17/16 for #1.) If I post a pic of a tree your mind “is limited” to THAT shape, THAT kind (maple, apple, pine), THAT size, THAT color, (red, yellow, green), THAT season, THAT background.  But when I pen “a lone tree stood on the knoll beyond” YOU see one thing, YOUR neighbor sees an entirely different tree, and the man/woman in Asia/other continent/isle sees another still. Pics have their place but they are confining – confining in ways words are not. Think. And think about how our age is controlled/confined by pics.
