Wow, my thoughts are gruesome tonight. I just erased a long poem based on a "visit" to my house by a witness for the Lord who could barely conceal the hate and anger in his heart. By the third mention of blood (embedded in direct quotes from this man), I knew I could not post it.
He was not a very good advertisement for what he was selling. Or...maybe
all too good. He said he was there to tell me of the love of our Lord,
but even more important was the news about what would happen to me and
my family if we failed to heed his call. I told him to get off my
property as politely as I could, and to never come back.
I still remember the rage breaking his voice and the way he placed his hand on my door to prevent me from closing it. I watched through the window as he backed away. His acolyte watched him, too, as warily as I did.
I did not have to call the police.
The kingdom of God is among us, if only we have eyes to see. Threats will only make us disgusted or blind with fear. Where is the hope of heaven in that?
If what you really want is power over, then stop lying to yourself and everyone else.
If what you really want to spread love, then you must love.
