*Leaving Crystal Castle was probably one of the hardest things we had to do. It had been our home and had been in my family for generations upon generations. With the head of the castle in financial ruin and none of us were working or bringing income into the castle, the taxes just kept getting bigger and bigger and the government was not about to give us even another break or let us go on our own hope. So we packed up everything we could fit in our transportation vehicle and when that was done, we stood on the bridge that my grandfathers great great grandfather had built with his own two hands, and we took one last long look at that magnificent crystal castle. Tears in our eyes and a burning pain in our souls, we all piled into our ship and headed out to an unknown destination. We somehow waved back at the awsome beauty that our home had given us for so long. As we stood on the deck looking at that place getting smaller and smaller in the distance, we wondered if whoever came to occupy that home of ours, would take care of it and keep its beauty everlasting. There was no way to know who it would be. We sailed off into the void, and let God guide us to where we would finally end up. When the rich and powerful get richer and the poor and poverty stricken get poorer, it really doesn't matter where we end up, because they don't care. So should we care? The rich and dark souls that have plunged this world into a vast void where it doesn't even matter if you've been the best person that God could ask for, can't even live in any peace or harmony, then what good is it being so wealthy and powerful? We can't take what we don't have with us into the next plane of existence. Do the rich think they can take their worth and material coin with them? Not a chance I believe the answer to that would be. It's sad really that those with this power and knowledge can't even see that they are making that Almighty dollar worth nothing. Money is said to be the root of all evil. But it is the greediest of the unimpassioned humans, that has taken a false idol, and put it before God, to be more important than life and all mankind. Such a shame..... ....as usual, just my thoughts. ....John Michael Piper *GO SEE, HEAR AND EXPERIENCE THE WORKS FROM MY LIFE AT ARTIMATIONSDESIGNCOMP.COM* At: http://www.artimationsdesigncomp.com/ *Check it out...Then check it out again~ J.M.Piper©2011, All Rights Reserved ArtimationsDesignComp.Com™©2011 John Michael Piper - All Rights Reserved
