PROVERBS 11:12
He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor:But a man of understanding holdeth his peace. Photograph taken October 8th 2001 by Theresa Koch
As I approach the crossroads between life and death. I turn around and gaze upon my life. Did I as a proclaimed Christian walk as a hypocrite. Did I go out and party with my friends? Only then to turn around on any given Sunday. Fully expecting my lord to forgive me. Did I help others through out the years of my life? Or once a year reach out in charity to help another. Was it me who disregarded what my heart knew? I look across the road to the uncertain path after death. Is it a reward that waits for me across the road? Or is a penance of chains of regret hanging on a post. Waiting for me to pass through the crossroads. To hang upon my back as a garment for eternity. As I approach the crossroads I will look both ways. Then turn around and gaze upon my life.
