Romans 8:8-10 

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Died to the flesh?

Dearly departed ... how are you today?

Is it time for you to show ... the influence you’ve got left.

I think you to be gone ... but you’re carved in my presence

and you can’t leave unless I‘ll let go ... you are so bereft.

For a dead entity ... you surely are noisy.

For being 6 ft under ... you scream with the best.

I wished you moved to Idaho ... somewhere near Boise

and leave me here in Texas ... so I can get some rest.
