Apples to Watermelons

Walk in the way of our Lord.

You're sitting on your
pew in Americas church
angry at the person
who sing and praise aloud.

Turn your head and

God is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness,

temperance: against such
there is no law.
 
(Gal 5:22-23)

 Can you enjoy life
without these fruits
of the spirit and be
settled in your soul?
