about:

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. ACTS 28:26 & 27 KJV

GO THE EXTRA MILE
to Tanya Barger

One snowflake turned into two
And soon there were many more
Small featherlike ice crystals
Covering the forrest floor.
A field of white before me,
Snowclad branches all around;
Crisp snowflakes driven by wind,
Whirled and swirled on the ground.
A big guy came into view
Dressed up in a suit of snow;
Wearing a thin coat of ice
That set his image aglow.
Often God sends messages
In strange and unusual ways;
Someone had built a snowman
Where I exercised today.
A hat teetered on his head
Just above his happy smile;
He held in his hands two wreaths,
Both tagged, 'GO THE EXTRA MILE'.
