The Land of Make-Believe
Watching the news right now is truly a nightmare during the daytime. It all seems so real – I mean watching my life savings decline in big jumps. Almost a third of it is gone at this writing. The fear seems so real, I can almost touch it.
“We're living in a land of make-believe And trying no to let it show. Maybe in that land of make believe, Heartaches can turn into joy.
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low We're taking up a lot of room Somewhere in the dark and silent night Our prayer will be heard Make it soon”
We are looking for a messiah, a savior. But I also remember the words of Jesus that looking for safety in an insane world is itself insane. At this writing we are one month away from electing a new president. Who is it that will bring us peace and prosperity? That is my prayer…
“So, fly little bird Up into the clear blue sky And carry the word, Love's the only reason why.
Open all the shutters on your windows. Unlock all the locks upon your doors. Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams. No secrets come between us anymore. Oh, say it's true, Only love can see you through, You know what love can do to you.”
“I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes. Love is all around me And so the feeling grows.
It is written on the wind It's everywhere I go”
It's as if the Holy Spirit is whispering in my ear…
"You know I love you, I always will. My mind's made up By the way that I feel.
There's no beginning, There’ll be no end, Cause on my love, You can depend.”
