A Sliver of Light

This early morning, I look and see a fading sliver of light, shrouded by clouds from nowhere near.

Then the night light becomes clearer, as the wind shifts, the light takes shape, a quarter-moon does appear.

Now it’s gone again and although it’s so dark I can’t see the clouds; I know they are there.

Just as I know the light still shines, proving that even in darkness we should have no fear.

Now the clouds have parted, and a bright quarter moon shows, the sky is once again clear.

Watching the clouds roll by the light just above the horizon, is like our life’s shifting moods.

If you are fortunate to have experienced a long life, you know not all our days are good.

At times our lives are shrouded in a cloudy darkness, where we grope to find the simple necessities.

Hoping the majority of our lives we can see the light in the dark sky, even if it is just a sliver of light, a quarter moon.

 

I wrote something early Monday, then watched the day unfold.  What did I see but a continued divide in our country.  Where on one hand we celebrate the Holiest of days, Resurrection Day.  A day in history long past that we can’t see or touch in the present.  Belief in death being conquered, is where Faith resides.

On another hand we celebrate painted pagan eggs, and a funky looking bunny.  A tangible physical observance we can touch & see, something we can search to find, dropped from the bunny hero’s woven basket.

And now today more in our face than ever, we are being deceived to believe and forced to celebrate those who just can’t seem to decide.  When 2 million voices are louder than 200 million, you know there’s a problem.  I don’t have to accept undecided deception, no more than I expect for you to accept my beliefs on this worlds history, the life of Jesus Christ and the powers of a living God.    

Look at yesterday’s news.  On one stream, the majority would continue to glorify the Words of God in our modern-day Bible, which is a very good thing.

In other news, the efforts to show and live in Faith continue to be distracted, like clouds covering the nights sky.  To live in darkness is a choice,  to live by Faith is also a choice that will brighten the night.

But now we have the changelings and undecided.  If you were created in God’s image, why are you trying to change it?  We used to help those with mental instabilities, now we are supposed to encourage it.  Paying for a lifelong trail of medications and a sex change operation is a choice some make.  A personal choice to run from your reality and  pollute our children with clouds of confusion. Life is hard enough, why confuse it & drag society into your delusions.

Here’s a simple truth.  You can be Spiritual or secular, believe or not believe…but you can’t be something else or in between.  Just as in this physical life you can be a man or a woman, not something else.  Transgender folks suffer from an undecided and confused mind.  It is like half suicide.  Manipulating your body & mind to alter it into what you think may make you feel better.  Tell me mutilating your body and mind is not a cry and reach for help.  Please explain to me why a woman’s rights are diminished so yours can be held higher.  It’s just one more half-truth clouding the night’s half-moon.

Celebrate Resurrection Day or Easter in the manner you choose.  Just make a choice, knowing we can have Faith, Fellowship, Fun & Friendship…without the need for a new festivity based on fake & false realities.

For the record, I don’t hate confused & unstable people.  I sympathize with their struggles & pray everyday that they find purpose, meaning & normalcy in their lives.

A little word play, with some serious consequences. We’ve all heard in the term R.I.P.  or rest in peace.  That is certainly one end result, to simply rest in the cold dark earth, where hopefully you find some level of peace.  Or, you could meddle in a middle ground, relax in purgatory as so many do…or ultimately you can rejoice in paradise…something for us all to aspire.

 May the moon shine bright and the winds blow in a fair direction for you & yours now & forever.
