Don’t Look Back…# 1

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Under a black and menacing sky, an eager voice screamed, “Do not look back.”  Sodom did not see the phenomenon; only silence and a pillar of salt remained after the rumble.

 

The Ravens screech their death calls. Who will mourn the woman who chose to turn, look back and suffer death? Will anyone give solace to the strangers from Gomorra, or will they be alone forever?

 

The voice, now like a flute mourns before a funeral feast: all is lost and soon be forgotten. Yesterdays filled with mortal pain, today the sun rises on strength, strong will, and bright tomorrows.
