Almost right, always wrong.
Almost there, forever gone.
Almost free, in darkness chained.
Almost changed, but forever the same.
Almost saved is always doomed.
Almost there is never in bloom.
Almost won, is lost, lost, lost!
Almost free comes with a dreadful cost.
God, we live on lines of almost...

†. Gen 2:6 . . a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole
face of the ground.
The word "mist" is from 'ed (ade). It's a very rare word and appears only
one more time in the whole Bible in the book of Job.
"See, God is greater than we can know; the number of His years cannot be...
Life use to be simple. Emotions clear.
Friends were friends, nothing to fear.
The kiss of a friend, the shake of a hand.
They were all signs of a friend, an honest man.
But now I look in your face and wonder what you hide.
Wonder what you really think, when you confide.
Now I no longer trust...
There once was a battlefield where all was silent.
From foxholes and ditches rose the heads of men defiant.
The weathered general looked around, looked hard, looked long.
Said to his men, There’s nothing wrong except there’s nothing wrong.
Not long after, they found themselves pinned down...

†. Gen 2:1-3 . .The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their
array. On the seventh day God finished the work that He had been
doing, and He ceased on the seventh day from all the work that He
had done. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy,
because on it God ceased from...

About the singing of the Flamenco style of Spain, it's to simulate cries of woe, meant to be very sad sounding, and thus loud at times. Ah..ouh..uw..ouiee...is like a cry of pain. (I speculate that when the Islamic Moors invaded Spain back in...

†. Gen 1:29-30 . . God said: See, I give you every seed-bearing
plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-
bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. And to all the animals
on land, to all the winged creatures of the sky, and to everything
that creeps on earth, in which...

†. Gen 1:27a . . So God created man in His own image, in the image
of God He created him;
If humans were paternal sons of the Most High-- viz: if people were His
biological offspring --they'd be eternal beings like Himself because God is an
eternal being; i.e. like begets like. But humans...
There once was a question: a question which was to us posed:
Who shall separate us from the love of God? Whom do you suppose?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are...

†. Gen 1:26 . . And God said: Let us make Man in our image,
after our likeness.
The Hebrew word for "man" is 'adam (aw-dawm') which means: ruddy. It's a
very common label in the Bible for human beings.
Webster's defines "ruddy" as having a healthy reddish color. But in this case
ruddy is a...
Before the storms hit, before the doubts assail;
A tiny boy in the world who on his own will fail.
Unaware of what will come and has been,
Reaching up to hold on Daddy’s big hand.
Childhood trust, before one becomes a man,
And finds things aren’t always what they seem.
All alone, a frightened...

When I was a little boy, my dad bet me that he could make a dollar bill
stand on edge. Well, I passed on the bet because I didn't own any money at
the time. So my dad proceeded to fold a dollar bill in half into a vee and it
easily stood on edge like that. When I protested, he replied: You...

†. Gen 1:22b . . God blessed them, saying: Be fertile
The blessing of fertility is pretty amazing. It not only enables creatures to
reproduce their own bodies, but also to transfer the breath of life from one
generation to the next.
†. Gen 1:22c . . and increase, fill the waters in the seas...
-
†. Gen 1:20 . . God said: Let the waters bring forth swarms of living
creatures, and birds that fly above the earth across the expanse of
the sky.
The Hebrew word for "birds" is 'owph (ofe) which just simply means covered
with wings rather than covered with feathers. It's a rather unusual...
-
†. Gen 1:14c . . they shall serve as signs for the set times-- the days and
the years;
The word for "signs" is from 'owth (oth) and means: a signal; such as a flag,
beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.
The Sun and the Moon are very useful time keepers. The Sun of course
marks...

†. Gen 1:11a . . And God said: Let the earth sprout vegetation
Before God could set out plantings; He first had to create soil for them to
grow in; which is only barely alluded to in Genesis' reference to dry land
making its appearance: and this is where young-earth theories run into
trouble...

†. Gen 1:6a . . God said: Let there be an expanse
The word for "expanse" is from raqiya' (raw-kee'-ah) and means: a great
extent of something spread out, a firmament, the visible arch of the sky.
Raqiya' is distinct from shamyim in that it indicates the earth's atmosphere;
which is sort of...
“You remember this girl, don’t you?
Cause she remembers you, and she’s pregnant too.”
The words split through my ears,
Giving way to plunging fears.
“They know who the father is,
A boy named you is who it is.”
I felt my head start to whirl, How could it be?
Couldn’t remember anything, ‘tween her...

†. Gen 1:4a . . And God saw the light, that it was good
God declared that light is good; but He didn't declare that darkness is good.
In point of fact, darkness always represents bad things in the Bible; while
light always represents good things. It's been an axiom from the very
beginning...
The last competitor had been called up. The people in the stadium were silent as the eight athletes got into their lanes, waiting for the race to begin.
In lane three, a fifteen-year-old boy, Jim Lewis, was crouching. He could feel the blood thudding through his veins, his heart hammering away...
