Great Post on Time Management

HERE
Did God really say?
It began that day,
The craftiest of the creatures plotted the play
Prodded the prey,
Teasing the feast that he was preparing to slay
..."Stop, Away."
If only it had ended that way,
Instead it continued down a path to decay,
To their utter dismay
Devastated listeners could only hope and pray.

"Then what happened, Moses?" the littlest blurt.
So he continued sharing about Mr. and Mrs. Dirt.
His own brother?! came next,
and then "They all died?"
No, I said God saved Noah and his sons and their wives.
So many lost lives...
Only sorrow it seems,
A bite of a bit of fruit ripped the world at its seams.
And then a single bowl, and other brothers were split.
Trouble and trials, they couldn't see the end to it.

If only there were the means to reconcile this breach.
The enmity must be removed to permit man's reach.
But no man can offer up.
So God offered down.
Sent His only Son to people the kingdom of the ground,
From the Lost to the Found,
He carried the message around,
He had come as He promised so that joy might abound.
But He was rejected and despised just like in the Garden,
Dismissed, but He kept on the mission He had charted.
Unlike men, His heart was guarded,
He would endure the shame.
He was executed and then crushed,
Bearing man's blame.
This is why He came,
To show the greatest love born in the greatest pain.
That's why He's got the greatest Name.
That's why He ever reigns.
He's worth more than the praise from all things
Praise be to Jesus, the Lamb that was slain.
