A Dream Dies

What does one say when the dreams you have come to a screeching end? This week the dream that was the “Canopy Christian Community” will formally come to its end. I for one am sad about that. This dream that held so much promise and had started with such a push from the Almighty is now but a fragment of its former self. Certainly there are questions about how something so promising found its demise. And yes, there is an opportunity to learn from this and there are many things to reflect upon. But right now is a time to mourn. A time to simply say, “well that blows…it blows big dead goats….” Not much can be said. It is very sad.

Bitterness

The longer you allow the root of bitterness to grow in the soil of your heart, the more love it will devour.

-Crockett-


Proverbs 14:9-11 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society



9 Fools mock at making amends for sin,
but goodwill is found among the upright.

10 Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can share its joy.

11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
but the tent of the upright will flourish.
