PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

This is an excellent: This is an excellent testimony poem, and presents a significant, but stilll-open, question.  I think we stray from the narrow path because we are broken, flawed, and fallible; but the blessing of this is that we remain constantly aware of our need for a Savior, for Jesus.  The Gospels show us he chose some, just like us, to be His Apostles and evangelists.  Our problem, in Western Christianity, is that we have allowed poor and obscure theology, to focus on primarily on God's wrath rathern than His Love.  The Eastern Church continues to emphasize His Love---they call Him, the Lover of Humankind.  We, in the West, use John 3:16---overuse it, actually---as a text for evangelical effort, emphasizing far too much on the belief aspect that it mentions, and not on God's Love that it describes.  As long as I believe in my Savior, in the Salvation He has made available, and in my own need for such Salvation, I have Salvation.  It is those who have become smug in the Faith, or in their lack of Faith, who have, of their own choice, removed themselves from the haven and shelter of Salvation.   Thank you for writing this amazing poem.  It will speak, and speak convincingly, to many souls.

Thank you very much : Thank you very much

Thank you for that: Thank you for that perspective:  I appreciate your comment very much.

My guess would be the ancient: My guess would be the ancient Greeks who first used the term.  The Greek language did not originally have a lower case, so they must have capitalized everything.  I capitalize it out of respect for the Art and those who serve it.  

You know the answer: Who was the one who coined the capital P in Poem, in the first place, anyways (that which you favor today)? I'll give you a hint

In school and college, I: In school and college, I avoided Faulkner, except for "A Rose For Emily."  Your poem makes me regret that avoidance now.
