Not quick enough sand

This is some writing from my earlier life.

Searching for clarity
Through cloudy gray skies,
The darkness is brutal
It's blinding my eyes.
Foundation solid,
sought for, not found.
I'll find it some day
6 feet in the ground.

This is LBC material. Sorry Snoop Dog. It means Life Before Christ.

Health Care? Who Cares? Should we Care?

I must confess that at times I get caught up in the health care dislike that is pervading the nation. It goes against all of the political ideologies that I hold dear. That being said, this comprises about 10% of my makeup. Government, according to the Bible, is put in place by God. This may be a hard pill for some to swallow, but let's put some historical perspective to this. In the early days of Christianity, the church was most certainly opposed to the political system under which they lived. This system's corruption was evidenced by Christians being used as torches in the emporers' gardens and used as fodder for mass entertainment that puts our Hollywood to shame as far as its perversity and bloodlust. I cannot be certain that all of the early church was not abuzz with the latest election results, or the latest legislation that was not aligned with their politics, but It is safe to assume that they were far more concerned with showing Christ through their lifestyles. The early church handled these persecutions and setbacks through love for their neighbours. When they rescued babies from trash piles where they had been discarded, or when they offered solace to the slave who had endured a lashing in deference to his master, they were living, not talking. Let us not assume that our time is any more evil than any other, let us know that we are as lost as any and every generation that has ever existed, and need Christ the same as any other people who have walked the earth. When you are without life, you cannot be any more dead than any other. Things may seem sad and desperate politically at this time, but, without Christ, things are deadly and desperate for all times.
