Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; A Poem To The EARLY CHRISTIANS
I revere you above all others---
my earliest and most elder spiritual sisters and brothers:
I have studied your ancient History,
to Rome and its great cities from rural Galilee,
you preached, proclaimed and shared the Gospel in its purity
despite some prudes' and haters' persecutorial perfidy,
and the Roman empire's already unstable strife.
I look forward to meeting you when my earthly life
ends, and my soul is released into the Heavenly
realm you know, where our Savior promised I, too, could be . . .
I, too; even such a cold mess of slop as me . . . .
And the Orthodox Church, today, is the heritage and legacy
of the earliest and most ancient Christianity.
Declare this often---my Poetry!

Thank you for commenting.
Thank you for commenting. The Early Christians are very important to me; I think that is why I incline to Orthodox Christianity, because it feels more connected to them than the Western version.
