Sunday's sermon will be based in Psalm 49 (with words from Luke 12: 13 - 21 and Ecclesiastes 2: 18 - 23 for additional goodness). Here is the image I made for the powerpoint slides and a poem I wrote.
(click the image to see it full sized. Thank you.)
Let Them Boast. Let Them Parade
Oh, how we respect and honor them,
secretly envy and even worship them:
the rich and the powerful,
living in gilded mansions
and self assured securitywhile we painfully save against rainy days
and the escalating cost of college tuition,
and maybe we fear them, too,
fear the influence and power they wield, casually buying and selling our lives.
Why give them so much?
Brother, I tell you,
no one can buy back his soul. In not so many years they’ll trade
that gilded mansion in the here and nowfor a mansion of earth in the abyss of forever and on.
Let them boast. Let them parade.
It’s all the same in the end.
