In the arena of vice, the man of virtue fell Was an intrepid gladiator with God's sword in hand Ready to die was for all of the evil to expel Gallantly kept fighting till iniquity left the land! © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 January 2018

Thought provoking write Demetrios my friend - we are tempted to follow ill ways, it is our strength of character that comes into play here, it will decide for us which course we will take, hopefully we all know the answer to that, and as Tom says, with God's help, will win the war. Great write, Blessings and hugs Jennifer.

Life offers many temptations and we mere mortals can easily get caught in the clutches of vice, we must strive to do battle with iniquity and with God's help win the war. Hope your weekend is going well Demetrios. Love the picture, reminds me of a scene in Kefalonia. Tom

So true my friend, Tom. We are not allowed to go into the country because of COVID-19 So I may miss the anemones season which has already begun! Take care! Thank you! The field in the picture is not very far from where I leave!

Unfortunately, only a few of us are willing to fight vice all the way, my friend, Vijay! God bless you! Keep healthy!
