ORBITING SPHERES
ORBITING SPHERES
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
Saturday, September 02, 2017
“IT WOULD BE EASIER TO TAKE THE WET FROM WATER OR THE DRY FROM SAND, THAN FOR ANYONE TO TRY TO SEPARATE US, TO STOP US FROM HOLDING HANDS; BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. AND WHAT LOVE HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NOBODY TAKE IT APART….”
SO GOES “WHAT LOVE HAS JOINED TOGETHER,” A SONG BY SMOKEY “BILL” ROBINSON’S MIRACLES.
YET BY DISTILLATION, DISSECTION, DISSIPATION, EVAPORATION, A SEPARATION HAS BEEN EFFECTED IN OUR ERA, WHERE: WRONG IS RIGHT AND RIGHT IS WRONG; THE MALES ARE FEMALES, AND FEMALES, ARE MALES; WHERE THE FIRST IS LAST AND THE LAST IS FIRST; WHERE “GOD IS DEAD” INSTEAD OF LIFE.
YET, AS INEXORABLY, IRREVOCABLY, OUR SPHERICAL ORBITS WILL RETURN TO OUR SPIRITUAL HOME.
