verdict awaiting the flip of a coin withered in cold november winds your eyes devoid of luster has life teetering on the edge a spin of the roulette straight up inside bets against the odds remind us the head croupier up in the sky is the one calling all the shots AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on February 24, 2021 for contest ALL YOURS (FEB 26) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on February 23, 2021

Yes, God calls all the shots but only good and perfect gifts come from above. I don't think gambling is one that God worries about for He knows a person will make their own bed and lie in it when they gamble. Sara

Yes, God calls the shots..He is a good, merciful God but He does get tired of a person who claims to be His child going in the wrong direction then He issues out the punishment. Sara

Thanks, Sara ~ I changed my photo so the metaphor of life would be more prominent because it's not about gambling at all ~ thanks for the nudge
