The Chatty Grim Reaper: Nocturnes for the Soul

A City on a Rock besieged all around by infidels and invaders.

Raging battles lasting in to the night and well into the next day. It would seem that the chaos would never end. But as the Wise Sage expounded A City on a Hill Cannot be hid.

Stalwart Warriors All We fight on through desolation and isolation Courage and Bravery never ends.  In the midst of conflict appears the Delirium Room.  Then I realized that this was not my room any more and I needed to be transported to a Brand New Room.  Amidst the two natures of man were two doorways Repulsion and Attraction.

Please Forward me a Small Studiolo Fully Furnished which I will name the Studio of Despair.  I caught wisps of ghosts and they need somewhere to stay for just a fortnight.

A City on a Rock


 

2 Corinthians 4:7 (New King James Version)

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, which the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

“God will not have his work be manifest by cowards,”-

A City on a Rock

Matthew 7:24-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

Build Your House on the Rock

24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers – Encourage Yourself

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 King James Version (KJV)

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
