Roses are red, we think. Are they?
But do they come in pink and yellow?
The colors of roses are varied,
Just like the hearts of every fellow.

We come in all shapes and all sizes.
We have varied personalities,
And some come in various disguises.
But we all have...

Philippians 2:5-8 ESV

Therefore pride is their necklace...

Inviting, enticing, spicing, and dicing,
Twirling, and hurling, and whirling, unfurling,
Outrageous, egregious, rampageous, contagious.
The world as we know it, not pretty, tis true,
The world should not live now, not inside of you.
The Spirit of God...

“As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’...

Galatians 4:8-9 ESV
“Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want...
