Explanation - But Lisa Ricci Said Don'T Long Ago
I
The scripture I read
Rebukes lust and greed
My Lord will forgive
Change how we live
Love God, love people:
Not pastor, church, steeple
II
I have Hindu family
They offer their homily
On forgiveness too often
Basics of love, shun
So, I write poetry
To add to missionary
Tools, a biblical education
God offers ALL SALVATION
FOOTNOTE: I am a missionary in South Africa at this time. It is common in this diverse country to focus on popular themes of Love, forgiveness, charity. But many pursue lives besot with addictions to drugs and illicit sex, yet get government "welfare" based on child- bearing. Family stability has not been connected with family welfare payments. It is both sad yet an opportunity for our small team. Our desire is to help folk value their/ our environment, too. All aspects of this work show little progress, but I preach all truths in the Bible. Shalom shalom
