LETTING YOUR FLAG TOUCH THE GROUND





    You can keep your flag from touching the ground during your time here on earth, but you must understand one thing: all flags will be desecrated when God’s Kingdom comes. All crowns will be crushed, and perhaps too those that wear them. The threshing floor will come alive.

I Wrestle With Literature

June 19 2024   Why did Donne say "Europe" and not "England?" This poem was written long before the European Union was a thing. Also, "send not" seems to suggest someone wealthy and in the habit of sending servants off on errands to do this and that, as in : "Don't bother sending a servant to investigate for whom the funeral mass is being conducted, because **it is you** in that casket no matter who the decedent may have been in life. Every time, the corpse has your face inside the casket. It is you who has died. 06/29/24 Such a man has a conscience that won't let him enjoy what his base nature wants and at the same time forces him to endure what is "good for him." Yeah, that sounds about right.   .
