The temptation to wield political power in the name of service is fraught with danger for all concerned. A sobering thought as this part of the world enters the election season.

For humble service
The LORD helps his anointed
not prideful hubris
********************************

Beware the bramble
Much promise with prickly thorns
Burns up and destroys.
********************************

Does love abide well?
Let less motive not deceive
though it looks so fine.
