The Walking Dead – No Peace from the Fight

Greetings Dear Reader,

The Walking Dead has not peace from the fight.  There has been little in the way of respite in the battle to survive and avoid being eaten.  The danger is always there lurking on the edges of even the most beautiful moments.  Even when the Zombies seem to be at bay baser nature of men seems to get in the way.

Charters rise up in the story to challenge the peace and safety our heroes attempt to forge.  No matter how much ground they gain the wolf is always at the door in some form.  Waking or sleeping there is always something lurking to devour them whether figuratively or literally.

It is the same for us as we try to navigate the dying world.  Death, evil, and enemies never rest.  There is not lasting peace.  The lurkers both seen and unseen wait to devour us the moment our guard is down.  I am not paranoid.  I am honest.  The fight against the darkness and death is a constant one. 

If I am to survive I must keep moving.  I must constantly follow Christ and be vigilant of the growing dangers in a darkening world.  I must try to make things better whilst knowing they will get worse.  I must fight for right and truth even if it costs my life.  The walking dead must keep walking in order to live.  So must those who follow Christ.

It is not easy but it is true.

No Rusty Swords – Michael Card

Don't you know the battle's raging
And you got to join the fight
There's an army of the darkness
And an army of the Light
There's a side that fights for Satan
And a side that's for the Lord
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords

Christ has made the final move
So our side is sure to win
He became like us so we would have
A chance to be like Him
It seems strange so many fall back
When the victory has been won
You just need to ask yourself
Which side you're on

Don't you know the battle's raging
And you got to join the fight
There's an army of the darkness
And an army of the Light
There's a side that fights for Satan
And a side that's for the Lord
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords

There's a fact you need to understand
Before you join our side
You need to know when Jesus calls
He bids you come and die
He's invaded Satan's kingdom
And He's claiming all His own
When the battle's over
He will lead us home

Don't you know the battle's raging
And you got to join the fight
There's an army of the darkness
And an army of the Light
There's a side that fights for Satan
And a side that's for the Lord
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
