Adversary Aggression

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Lion in sunset

He attacks with vengence!

What is it the enemy fears?

Observe his means.

What is the main strategy

That he uses to frighten you?

Tanka

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. —Eric Hoffer

Spring in My Step

Daffodils in red vase

Walking down the street

Daffodils strewn all about

Flowers at my feet

Happenstance recipient

Of Random Act of Kindness

Tanka

Today as I was walking downtown in search of a restaurant, my eyes beheld a strange sight. I was passing by an old abandoned theatre and there, in the entrance way were scattered 5 fresh, bright golden daffodils, just waiting for a leading lady to pick up. How fortuitous for me!

U-Turn

When I read your word

I thought, and I turned my feet.

I made haste

To try to obey your commandments,

And walk in your ways each day.

Tanka

“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.”

Psalms 119:59-60 KJV
