More Free than a Flag in the Breeze

ByJody Lee Collins

I could be a

parade marching

or a flag waving

or a barbecue grilling

but what I really am
                           is FREE because of the Son
                                  (John 8:36)
I could be a

kite flying

a sparkler shining,

fireworks bursting

but what I’m thankful for
                           is the FREE gift
                                 (Romans 5:15,16,18)

I could be a

song singing

a lake jumping

a picnic feasting

but what He did for me
                         is make me FREE
                                 (Romans 6:20,22)

    Miracle

    ByJody Lee Collins

    We’ve been informed we are flying  at 29,000 feet (approximately) above the face of the Earth, suspended (how? by speed, lift and whatnot) like a moving planet jettisoned in a line moving at the speed of sound (light?). Refreshments are served, secured with invisible payments traveling via plastic and magnets swiped by staff standing still as…

    These are my thoughts about an honorary member of my birth family, my just-like-a-sister Sandy.  Forty years ago this week she dared me into going to church–Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California. It was the height of the ‘Jesus Movement’ of the 70’s and Sandy had been hounding me to go and give my life to…
