EARLY DROUGHT AND WRATH: Femi Oladele

Sequel, to last Thursday's article, on lateral thinking.

Mighty works he hath wrought; many words he hath spoken.

Why then do I feel there is drought?

HE does mighty things; that is unquestionable.

Why do we take delivery by deliberate action?

Does a father have a need for wrath and/or chastisement?

Even in the eye of the storm, comes the ever challenging drill;

Why are you here?

HE does unspeakable things; and shows it to HIS elect.

Why does HE expect a resounding on rooftops?

After all, we all can get angry and deny ourselves of earthly victuals,

Yet we see HIM place demands through it all.

At the end, when we see HIM, that is if we see HIM.

I have questions that seem like may take forever to answer.

Yet HE chuckles; the answers are in my WORD.

But I retort; I want to hear you say it; I would prefer to wait till then.

HE adamantly insists; isn’t that a repetition? Just let it go…

Now, I see clearly, there was never a drought; yet my wrath made it seem impossible.

My mindset created a veil.

Lift up your heads, O ye Gates…

And I should continue…

And yes, it continues next week Thursday.
Gracias

Physical Examination Examine cardiovascular system with stethoscope. Examine the lungs as well as the neurological system.

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
