Memorial Day Patriot's Blood and His

The storm was wildest when
He walked on water
The vines were at their greenest
He turned water into wine
For faithfulness, union and reunion 

When men would forsake all of God 
He will return for His Beloved
Who is He? An open, unfolding mystery
Because He loved so much He bled and bled
For His country and Family

Talking about the superiority and greatness of Christ. His sacrifice by His blood paved the way for mankind. God bless you Anil. Shalom

It is a very unique take on Jesus Christ and I love it. Yes, I'm agnostic but there is a growing body of archeological evidence for the existence of a man named Christ and I believe he existed. Whether he was merely mortal or was immortal seems besides the point. His memory is immortal in the minds of millions. PAX!

Thomas, exactly! If someone could invent a personage who can dominate "faith issues" for 2,000 years, that's the best literature from Beowulf to Vedas, from Tao Te Ching to Thomas Hardy & D. H. Lawrence. We tried & never made GW, Lincoln, Gandhi, Dr. King, and Nelson Mandela ... flawless or as inspiring. Shalom/PAZ!
