A Christian Community website, and a blog. A WordPress.com weblog. Promise House Christian Community. The Long Song part 1. April 21, 2015. Time is a strange thing. We live on the fine moving line between the next moment and the last. I am an observer watching events pass me into the shadow land of memory, and it can feel quite melancholy as everything passes away (1 John 2.17). Is there anything that we can hold on to, that does not empty into the ocean of the silent fading past? Laquo; Is Life Futile?
