LOVE GROWN COLD <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

12-08-2016<\/p>\n

Love God, and love your neighbor,
\nCan Bible basics be more clear?
\nYet we seem to stray so far away,
\nGets worse with each passing year.<\/p>\n

We each live in our modern boxes,
\nLike sardines packed in a tin can,
\nBut neighbors are strangers to us,
\nWe don’t know every child and man.<\/p>\n

Love for others has grown so cold,
\nSelfishness is the rule of the day,
\nIf Jesus were to return tomorrow,
\nI can just imagine what He’d say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
