LIBERTY ON LIFE SUPPORT

American liberty took a serious blow yesterday, February 13, 2016 when Antonin Scalia passed away.  If you were not concerned up until now…well, it’s time. Supreme Court Justice Scalia was one of the best moves Reagan made in his quest for making America great and keeping her free.  Things are about to change… We are […]

HEAVEN

Years ago I wrote several doctrinal essays while acquiring my master’s degree in church growth.  I am currently attempting to assemble them in book form which will be offered digitally.  All of the essays are written in iambic pentameter.  Here is one I wrote on heaven.

The Purpose

  This is the first poem (besides “roses are red” poems) that I wrote.  I was 16.  The meter is really bad.  I am very particular about meter.  I usually don’t finish reading a poem that doesn’t follow meter so I apologize to those of you who are like me.  If you can’t finish it…I […]
