- Go to House of worship
read this however you wish, apply a meaning that suits you, but don't take
this too seriously, it was never meant to be taken too seriously. There is a touch of cynicism, but the last line proves that overall it is not cynical at all. I feel sad that God's house is being abandoned for more trivial pursuits of happiness. There is a complexity of ideas in my poem, if you read closely, it says it all, and I don't feel like explaining it further and insulting your intelligence, and to be frank, i don;t really care if you like it or not because right now, i have other things to worry about....but thanks for reading me anyway.

The think I hope. . .
about flocks in various houses of worship is that their pastors and preachers and rabbis try their best to be wonderful examples, and that congregations see the worth instead of the hell-future in those who feel or worship differently.

Hi Tony, this is supposed to describe a photograph....
whcich I hesitated to post it, because it makes a lot more sense when you see the picture. It is a little church in the middle of a paddock, this is why I wrote it a little bit tongue and cheek, this is just a joke, and some of it is personal, so the meaning is only for me. Just take it as entertainment value, and read it when you are completely awake, that might help too.....

Hi MC - a welcome surprise!
Interestingly vague, or maybe I've misread it. You can read this in more than one way. It seems a bit jaded and cynical to me, but about what - is it the congregations you're criticising, for being insincere and not really believing? Anyway, up to you whether you tell me or not. Could be me being thick.

again, a most beautiful gathering of words into one place. the Sheperd
always finds His flock...always rescues each one who loses his way.
