In Six Days

Here’s A little poem I wrote a couple of years back.  I thought I would dust it off and republish it in honor of the new Noah film coming out this weekend.  Although preliminary reviews are coming out that it is a horrible film, I am planning on going to see it anyway.  Perhaps I will review it next week.  Anyway, here it goes:

 

In six days God created everything we see,

The world that surrounds us,

for you and for me.

 

Not millions or billions of years did it take,

to think so is foolish, a cataclysmic mistake.

Though a man’s ideas and theories seem right in his mind,

in the end it will lead him to death he will find.

 

Evolution, a revolution, Charles Darwin did start,

an answer to questions that troubled his heart.

They say it is science not faith in one truth,

that would rescue and save us from the God of man’s youth.

 

Now a century well past, his faithful still preaching,

our schools and museums amok with his teaching.

With evidence abundant, his followers claim mounting,

The proof still alludes them, but in faith they are counting.

 

Only death itself will bring proof to one side,

the conflict apparent, too subtle to hide.

 

So if your eyes are wide open,

and your heart’s desire is to hear,

God’s word will bring comfort and,

His trumpet no fear.

Just a fellow traveler in this journey called life whose been all over the proverbial map. I was a Captain in the United States Army, an internet entrepreneur before it's time, an Actor, a Real Estate Agent, Social Worker, Executive Director of a non-profit, a Production Foreman, Team Leader, Technical Writer, Small Business Owner, and a Quality and Operations Manager. As a volunteer, I have taught, coached, written lesson plans, led small groups and mentored men as a part of Christian Ministry. I currently work with men as a lay counselor both in and out of jail. I am a guy who never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and quite frankly, still not really sure. I like to write stories, commentary, screenplays and a little poetry that I hope will make you think about more than what you’re wearing today, or whether your favorite team won the big game. My wife Jill and I have three adult children and two grandchildren. When I’m not working or enjoying my family, I find pleasure in the pursuit of writing thought provoking stories and poetry about the human drama.
