drying my peonies

They are so beautiful
and so fleeting.
They won't even grow here
in this hot place.
But there in the flower shop,
all by itself,
was a bouquet with my name on it!
Peonies....
another of God's blessing to enjoy.

I made the mistake
earlier this week
of opening a "forward"
and finding a joke,
the subject of which was God
and His son Jesus Christ.
Haven't had to deal with
one of these for a while.
It's like sticking a knife in my heart.

God is Holy.
He is not like us.
He is God.
To use God as the subject of a joke
is a very fearful thing.....
