CEOs, government officials and financial analysts have all made the claim that inflation, the cost-of-living crisis and skyrocketing house prices are all the fault of greedy workers demanding higher wages.

Slow Fade
Slow fade The words that lingered Whilst I pondered my heart And battled with my mind Deep in my soul I knew I was the one The only one Who had the final say All that has been offered His blood shed His grace given His mercy overflowing He is risen And yet with hands…
Our King Jesus
Jesus our King, so wise and true, He came to earth to rescue you. With humble heart and steady hand, He walked among us, yet so grand. A humble birth, in a stable of hay, Born to bear our sins, show us the way. He healed the sick, and restored one’s sight, He calmed the…
Called Out
Church, known by society As a building built With barricades of Brickwalls busted up to The brink, at times Reflecting the tower of Babel All the while the church halls Echo in fables. Jesus shed blood for our Stained glass windows Portraying Michael Angelo portraits. We are anxious to wash His blood stain, not knowing…

Chasing the sun, Along the path we walk Onwards through the Valleys and up the mountains Some in circles, Looping back through The marks that remain. Chasing the sun, In the darkest of places…
Plant Slayer
I am a plant slayer. Don’t get me wrong – I love plants. I feel so relaxed when out in nature, surrounded by trees, grass, and other magnificent greenery and flowers. But somehow the skill of keeping plants alive often eludes me. I’ve been given a variety of different plants as gifts over time, and…
I Will Sing
I sing praises to You. The sun is shining and my heart is full. I can hear the birds singing and laughter ringing. I sing praises to You. The clouds are starting to crowd in. The hurt is pressing in blocking out the joy of Your presence. Still, I sing praises to You. The smile…
