Analysis of Sermonizing, sameness.
Putting in remembrance
Or just dull repeat
Repeat and repeat
With those verses so sweet.
They have heard it before.
Some affirm; some just snore.
And seventy minutes pass
To the mark.
COVID smashed the whole thing.
no flesh/blood now they bring
They got used to a
Jammy time lounge.
Coffee, muffin in hand
To traverse Holy Land
And the tough Bible study they dodge.
Remembrance the Message
Did we plain forget?
Yes, we probably
Did in this lull.
But the Spirit says HARK.
Flock and sheep in the dark.
You are still on that trail
So dive in, think of Sin
Grab the oars
You MUST PULL.
