Agony of the Heart
by Chris Bunton Agony of the heart,turns for our good.When giving ourselves to Him,trusting who we are. Nothing is true,about our pain.It lasts a moment,till winds blow it away. Nothing happens unknown;nothings new in this world.All is built on piles of past,and we shall fly by again. Eternity within us;our souls remain.Just a moment today;tomorrowContinue reading “Agony of the Heart”
The Power of Whatever
Whatever! I probably say it a dozen times a day, and it makes things feel better. It has an odd power to shift the mind off the subject at hand and on to other things. It can allow us to cope with the crap this world brings to us daily. So… When your spouse orContinue reading “The Power of Whatever”
Scary Things
That scary thing won’t happen.Reject it; stand against it.Get in its face, like a boss.Break its nose; then laugh at its blood. Has the worst thing come to pass?How many times in your life?That anxiety demon;kills us a thousand times, before death. I will pray about it now.I will believe I am safe.I will trustContinue reading “Scary Things”

The Days of Old
by Chris Bunton I remember the days of old,when I crossed the fields alone.When I ran the forests;when I ran the trails,in those days of youth,in those days of sun. I remember the color of life.Everything seemed different.There was a brightness to the light;a shine, to everything. I remember hopping those fences.Going to those hiddenContinue reading “The Days of Old”
Adventure Where You Are
Traveling is an adventure. It’s the hope of seeing new things and getting that ‘Wow” factor that thrills you. It’s also that feeling of enlightenment, when you have experienced something that moves you, or alters your life, or fills a void, or answers a question for you. It’s something that moves you forward in yourContinue reading “Adventure Where You Are”
I Die Daily
By Chris Bunton There’s a verse in the Scriptures which says, “I die daily”. It is a small quote, within the context of a larger concept, but it’s a powerful tool for life improvement and spiritual growth. We often wake up in the middle of the night, or in the morning, full of anxiety. OurContinue reading “I Die Daily”
God’s Economy
By Chris Bunton There’s been much debate on what God’s will is in regards to our economic system. Some say God is a capitalist, and that capitalism is the only way to go.
