Better Late Than Never

When you knock, ask to see God — none of the servants. - Thoreau

maybe we all need to be locked in a room with all of our demons and sins

to fight it out

face to face

until we're able to open the door and step out alone

along with god's grace

Author's Note

"I am resolved that I will not through humility become the devil’s attorney. I will endeavor to speak a good word for the truth." - Thoreau

That sounds like it would be a heavy burden to bear; a struggle with powers beyond our strength to resist. But the battle belongs to God who fights for us and not against us. He won't allow those who trust in Him to be shamed. But it's not because of who THEY are. It's because of His righteousness and mercy. But it was never about the believers, anyway. He's fighting for the ones drowning in sin, hate, addiction and more. It's those who are sick that need the Physician most. I enjoyed the read.

[John Sullivan]

You know... I think you might be right. How strange the thoughts that cover us when we're alone.

better to get it all over with in one epic battle than a prolonged war that we never seem to be able to win.

I.... am a person with schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. A mental illness characterized by hearing voices, and seeing things... believing things that aren't true. My inner world... is reeeeeeaaaal complicated. It's not too hard to imagine God, on some days... but they make a pill for that. Cheers Pete, keep on fighting.

[John the Baptist]

My demons don't do hand to hand. They just keep insulting me.
