Mary K. Brown
Mary K. Brown is a volunteer at her church and many other charitable and political organizations. Originally from the MidWest, she now lives in the SouthWest. Married with 3 children, she makes time most early mornings for what she calls a real joy in her life....writing poetry.
“Poetry offers not only an artistic outlet, but a place to share my views of the world and religion in a creative way,” she wrote. “I don’t believe we can say we are Christians and yet not care about the people on the other side of town, the other side of our world. I am praying that the Church will eventually become the beacon of hope and compassion that Jesus asked of his followers.”
The Spiritual Condition of Modern Civilization
We’re going through a great departure from God.
"Man: the source of the highest meaning.
The measure of everything."
Echoes around the world.
WE must change
Before it's too late.
WE must awaken a new sense
Of the moral.
Of the spiritual.
...Before it's too late.
WE must rebel
From advertising to manipulation.
From consumption to greed.
......Before it's too late.
WE must discover
A deeper sense of responsibility to the world.
A more profound responsibility to our God.
.........Before its too late.
Will we care enough to stop this megasuicide?
Or will this present global crisis keep growing...
...............Until it’s too late?
History
History is not outside of our lives.
Our lives do not happen outside of history.
History doesn’t happen someplace else.
It happens right here.
We are all contributors to the story.
The good and the bad things we do every day,
That is history.
How will future generations judge us? POLITICS A new ruling elite Becomes much like the old one. Unmasked. An exhausted society Apathetic Demoralized. Withdraws into an internal exile. Stop waiting for “them” And do something yourself. It is worth the risk. 'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.” Rev. 3:16
How will Jesus judge us?
