When Eagles Fly

 What if an eagle came to live with us. What if the eagle was named Free and it was like me, dumb. What if the dom I wanted was like Kingdom or Wisdom but I could not find Freedom.

 Not because I didn’t want it. I did. I sought freedom every day. I sought it by walking and by using good understanding of health. I prayed and I sought God and I heard from Him. But not with the freedom I desired.

 Instead I suffered and I wore out the paper ink of pages. And I made my life boring because I could not find the words I wanted to use.

 I sought out God and there was a spirit of life God gave to me. And that life was free but not smart. So I had to pray and seek God to help me raise up free to smart so that they might have domain.

Now to get a domain I needed a web site. And I needed time not just to see but to write. For I believed God had called me to write and I loved to do so.

 The problem wasn’t lack of time but time spent doing things. I filled my life with doing things.

 The problem is that Sin had turned me into a vagabond. I had fled the knowledge I had because it took me into areas I could not find and so I fought for a return to knowledge.

 I didn’t know what to do but God said to pray and so I did. And I sought for that old knowledge as carefully as I could. And I prayed until I became able to see. And I prayed until I knew right from wrong. And I prayed until I found an ability to pray without ceasing. And it became a class. A class to God for I had found time but I had not found smart time.

 So God held me up, like a pup. and told me to see if my nose was warm. It was and I was able to see that I wasn’t a dog nor a pup but a man who had wanted to understand. So I went into time and into Sin and into aims and into Tor or the Law. And the Law was of Sin and so I had to fight that Law in order for me to see all aspects of it.

 And it was not easy. I had to fight the law by understanding and so in understanding I gained smart and time. The problem now was I needed people to help me and there I failed to see that I was smart. It just meant I had to sit with people who wanted to listen and that wouldn’t be easy to accomplish. It meant I had to write.

 And so I began a new quest towards knowledge. By gaining ground I saw the world as a new found joy. A place to explore and find help and seek those of like mind. People I could joust with over things like eagles.

 For I had knowledge and I intended to use it. And that meant I saw myself as an expert on Sin. And an expert on the law.

So if you think you are of the law and wish to know where you failed then write me. Because I care and I know that Sin is unto death. And Jesus bore death so that we need not be carried to death and to the grave. But to life.

And therein is freedom for us that today we are with people and tomorrow we are with the Lord.
