In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That marks our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

vegetable,

with rustic color; an ensemble of vivacious lines rendering it with a profoundly
dynamic appearance,
The pair of scarlet crested parrots incarcerated in their metallic cage; looked forward
to soaring high and handsome in the sky; relishing and enjoying a life of freedom like
most of their counterparts were doing at the time,
The famished alligator nestling on the banks of the river; looked forward to the
tantalizing scent of humans; crunching them into fine grains of mincemeat with
its knife like jaws,

being united as one garment of the flag; flutter in magnificent pride and glory while
portraying the spirit of their nation,

looked forward to sleeping in the jungle; with innumerable insects hovering
seductively around its nose,
And my heart captured mercilessly in my chest; eagerly looked forward to breaking
free every second from the norms and whims of this unceremonious society; basking
in the heaven of burning romance; loving and embracing every moment the person it
adored; the entity in the first place that it throbbed violently; several times a
