Ephesians 3:20-21 

20 Now to Him who by the power that is working within us is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

 

Messages on paper preserved through time

Glimpses of the past reluctant without feeling

Printing in strokes … a past not well defined

To show only what lasts of history’s own dealing

 

Names were folks somewhere in time

Similar to what we are of the same substance

They laughed and cried and even whined

Had wagons instead of cars and lived an instant

 

You’re telling me they just like we

 just in a different circumstance?

How can that be without T.V.

all they did is sing and dance?
