    Hello, hello, I pray you tell That time’s a ticking on the shelf That murders’ mysteries ring their chimes While devil’s advocates do their crimes While honeymooners swoon and swoon From night and morning, afternoon While children playing all their games Pay no attention to what’s insane While...

    Focus It's all about our focus. Countless distractions battle for my attention; too often, the distractions win, and I find my focus on the things of this world. As if the news is not bad enough on its own, the media will sensationalize the headlines to make sure and grab my attention. I...
