“RETROSPECT”
Having entered into a time when memories are naught but visions of the future,
I find myself mistaken in my dreams. As I have done, surely I will do again.
For once the path is chosen, the course is set, only eternity remains.
Now and again, I may stray near and far, yet, as sure as the rising sun,
‘till it rises no more, will I again find the way.
Must I suffer in my future as I see it pass before me in memories?
Progress is a circle that must eventually be joined.
All that I do to evolve into a greater being only leads back
To the humble birth I first awakened to.
Each day leads not to my future, alas, the truth lies in that
Each day leads back to the past.
Every step I take is one closer to that eternal sleep
And I wonder why sometimes I run?
Am I joyous in my agony,
Or do I suffer in my victory?
Still yet, I contemplate, for it’s true, I know not my feelings.
My memories contain a lifetime of sorrow,
Would my future hold not any less?
Again, I must sleep, I pray that I may not dream.

Hi KIS; thank you for your input. I do understand what you are saying, and you are correct to a point. The only thing is; is that he was verbally abusive since the beginning pretty much which is sad. Again, it was only when he drank which was all of the time. Sad situation. I am getting ready for church now ... back later. xo
Love you too JL 
Yes He does,but often times people WILL use the party to claim whether one is Christ's or not (Not that all do). I have seen it from BOTH sides. Every single person was created in the image of God. The problem is THAT is often forgotten and ALL of us were in the same boat. Too often the real problem is that many are trying put the cart before the horse. The hearts and minds of men MUST BE CHANGED first BEFORE the changes can come in the politics.
And for too many it's not about whether the person is SAVED or not,but it's what can that person do for me. Our King told us our first and most important job is to preach the Gospel. It is BY the gospel that their hearts and minds will be changed. That MUST come first BEFORE we can ever see any real Godly changes.

All ready for church ... just kicking around until my friend Christine picks me up in about 15 minutes ... the sun is shining although a bit cooler today and for the rest of the week the weather network says and then hot again next week. Boo! Be gone old man winter! We welcome hot sun, pretty flowers, green grass, chirping birds, the sweet smell of bbq's, and most of all ... happy people!!
