Thee Lord Pay the Bill

Once upon a time Man asked God Free Will

                For he thought that it would be such a thrill

                     God gave Man what he asked for

                       Then Man asked a little more:

                 Me, do as I please, Thee Lord, pay the bill!

 "Neither did I, my friend, M.M., however I wished to stress the fact that Man asks God to do everything for him but Man on the other hand is not willing to do as much for God. I know you are a very upright critic therefore your comment is a vote of confidence that I have succeeded without revering less our LORD! Thank you, Marugu Mo, for your visit and comment!! "

Demetrios That was very kind of you to go through the trouble to rewrite all the comments. That was a caring act I hope all those that commented appreciate the effort you made for them. I want to thank you for them my brother. A 7 for this so clever truth Richard has so eloquently mirrored my thoughts.

Thankfully He was willing, for we were lost in a pit dug by our willful hearts. Jesus's cross provides a bridge to freedom and still many choose to follow their own woeful hearts.

Dearest, Jan, I have reached an age that I do not like to bother Santa for anything! haha! Yes, it happens a lot. When I delete something then it deletes the next poem in line. Terrible. I have to be more careful and turn my PC off after I delete something. Sorry. Thank you! The last line is the whole point!
