Here's that second poem I wrote about my wife. It has a similar style to the last one.

--------------------

My wife is a forest in autumn
Her leaves are drawn by the very hands of God

Her beauty is unmatched
All her features compliment one another

The sound of her voice stirs my emotions deeply
The birds harmonize with her

I will walk in this forest
I will learn every tree

She drops her leaves gracefully
And softens my path

When rain dampens her cheeks
It strikes mine also

Soon God will make the rain to snow
Turning our sorrow to new joy

My love for you is not changed
I love you in all your ways

--------------------

I've been thinking about a potential objection to "the text is king" idea for temporal law keeping: that the Bible is subject to interpretation in such a way that the law cannot be consistently enforced.

I'm blogging on my phone again, so I'll try to be brief. The Holy Scriptures are perspicuous. Words have limited meanings, and language offers a semantic domain. It's noteworthy that the moral and legal codes in scripture are broadly agreed upon across denominations. What people significantly disagree about is the means for salvation, the nature of God, or the best way to worship.

To clarify, I'm not suggesting that we become like the puritans, who, though they had other good qualities, were wrong in that they made laws in addition to the scriptural code, and I think a case can be easily made that their laws were harmful.
