CONNECTION LOST<\/p>\n

Paul advised us to have patience,
\nSomething that is very rare today,
\nSo many of us madly rushing about,
\nWe act as if there’s no other way.<\/p>\n

But this kind of unhealthy living,
\nIs most certain to take its toll,
\nNot only will it affect our bodies,
\nBut it causes damage to our soul.<\/p>\n

Many folks have lost a connection,
\nTo the great God who made us all,
\nUnless we slow down and seek Him,
\nWe’re bound to take a serious fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
