Witness (Psalm 36)
My heart has a vision the wicked have no love of God their eyes do not see. They are proud and arrogant they are never penitent. They are wicked and deceitful; No good can come of them. They do not ponder or brood; they do not follow your ways Continue reading “Witness (Psalm 36)”

It’s difficult to stay “objective”, and not influenced by moving on with my needs and wants, the considered. I nowContinue reading “All Things Considered”
