When I gave beggar a coin
A beggar grabbed my hand and cried for some spare change. At first, I offered him a sweet memory of food or a tasteless sip of divine water, but he asked for money. I had a heavy coin and gave it to him. I wondered why he took only the money, and when he saw it, he immediately...

(“Meaning of Life Merit Badge”, 2010, original oil) The Dismal Science and the Meaning of Life Supply and demand is as basic and Nobel a Truth As you can get.

A Poem of Praise
Praise Jesus Christ! Who died on the Cross; Without Thy great Sacrifice We would all be lost. From birth until death You lived on this earth; Enduring our suffering To prove Love's worth Though the sinners were many, And the darkness was great; You died to forgive us, To open Heaven's Gates. Not three days passed And You continued Your Plan. Freed the souls of...

Premium Member Circling the Drain
I don't agree with it at all. A grand heart and good deeds hold no weight -are not part the equation. This scale is unbalanced and highly flawed. So, you're telling me that you can be a filthy devil for your entire earthly life... wreak havoc on community and all mankind. Then upon the death breath accept Jesus-ask for forgiveness. Then everything's...

Premium Member Sanctimonious Grin
In Boca Raton, the Catholics go to church, and leave, before the host has barely touched their lips. Why are the parishioners in such a rush to get to the parking lot? The priest crosses himself; too many are already crossing the threshold of the church grounds, waving goodbye to a restful Sunday, heading for trouble with a sanctimonious grin. Hope they stop to look within. My observation: stunned!!!!!!!!! ...

Premium Member A Disobedient Prophet
Once a prophet who is now anonymous in name, conveyed the Lord’s word, but later brought himself much shame. If not disobedient, he might have won some fame. He fell as prey to another man’s mendacious claim. Ten of Israel’s twelve tribes would choose Jeroboam over the son of Solomon, King Rehoboam. Only tribes of Judah and Benjamin stayed loyal They did...
