I am the dragon, flaming eyes and breath,
And dragon slayer, purveyor of dragon death;
The sword no sooner severs a dragon crown,
Another grows to singe the slayer's gown.

Today's lines were written for a challenge on a poetry site. (I get great ideas there.) This quatrain is my attempt to describe a bit of what Paul had to say about the inner struggle in Romans 7. Have you read it lately?

P.S. If our little site has encouraged you in some way, would you please share it with your friends? Word of mouth (even electronically) is the best advertising. I don't do much of that, so if you would, say, copy and send today's message (or yesterday's) on to some friends, you would really be helping us grow.
