Listening to sad music and looking back in time; it seems so long ago. With a powerful attraction and a melancholy sadness, a sorrowful spirit transported a troubled and questioning heart to a place far away. All the voices said go, “Go away to a place I will show you,” so I went. Could this […]

Desire Is Prophetic
Beneath the moon’s soft, silver glow, A soul sits on a highway, lost in woe. The desolate desert stretches far and wide, As shadows dance in the ebbing tide.

The Gordian Knot is a knot tied by Gordius, a legendary king of Phrygia, that according to a prophecy, was impossible to undo except by the person who had “understanding.” Alexander the Great, not able to untie the knot solved the puzzle by cutting it with his sword. The simplicity with which Alexander solved the […]
Counting the Cost
Those who rule the nations know that real strength does not come from the power of might but rather from the power of truth and the clear expression of it. Governments are more afraid of the communication of truth to the masses than the armies of an opposing nation. Hence, they censor, bribe the press, […]
Jesus
Paying the Eternal King His due respect, the Creator of all things and Savior of all who bow.
