Vignette-The Face of An Angel

Stephen, man full of grace
Spoke out the word,face to face,
Unafraid to chastise or chide
As there was no place for truth to hide-
For this faith,was stoned and died.

Willing to die for ones beliefs - the true test of faith. Brilliantly conveyed in this narrative. Lainie

This piece reflects faith and the true way we should all be when it comes to announcing and pronouncing our faith and strength therein. Wonderful details and a lovely read. Michael

Man, now that is true faith, fearless in the face of oppression and sin - very very well written, Brian - inspiring to say the least! Love Kristin
