In the Sky! What dost thou see?
I wot not, my Lord! The planets collide!
The firmament comes down! We must flee!
Are the times at an end? Where shall we go?
Gather thy kin! Hold them close!
What of my gold? What of my lands?
Am I to be bereft?
It matters not, my Lord…darkness shall soon cover us all.
I’ve been going through a bit of a struggle lately with “stuff” and the world is currently insane and a toxic place. I have been having real trouble coming up with blogfodder. I try to come up with poems to share and comment on, or anything really that I don’t have to spend a lot of time just sitting and looking at the computer screen trying to come up with something to say.
So I decided to come up with some “placeholders” to keep the blog running until I can get my mind back into the groove. These will be short little bits that you can read or not, and hope you stick with me…
This first one is called “Stacey”
Stacey woke up the morning of the prom with an enormous zit in the middle of her forehead. Then she saw the beginning of one on her chin. She despaired and her first thought was to end it all. But she knew her date had paid for reservations at a very expensive restaurant for dinner before the prom. She called him and explained her dilemma. He told her it didn’t matter what she looked like and insisted she come and have fun anyway. They enjoyed a very good meal even though it was a bit awkward to slightly lift the veil for every bite. They danced every dance and had a good time. Stacey was glad she had made the effort. When her date took her home, she turned off the porch light so they would be in total darkness. She lifted her veil and they shared a very lovely kiss.
Yes. Weltschmerz surrounds me right now. It presses down. It threatens to overtake me. But then I remember these words of Jesus Christ:
“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take courage:
I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD!”
John 16:33
God is still sovereign. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe that absolutely.
