Our surroundings abruptly changed and Zora looked around in surprise at finding herself in front of the mansion on the Greek island that we had celebrated our first time together intimately just several weeks past.
Her eyes swung to mine and I finished my statement, “……making a baby somewhere more comfortable?”
She giggled and grabbed a hold of my torn shirt front to lean up and kiss me passionately before breaking off and backing away with a wild look in her eyes, “You have to catch me first!”
She tore off then shrieking playfully without a concern or care in the world and I followed along after her in the same spirit. I’d catch her eventually, as it was an island with no boats. I was due to enjoy a very long vacation.

The sun was setting over the horizon casting and orangey glow across the pillar at my back as I held Zora in my arms before me as we both watched the sunset unfold before us. Zora’s hands lay over top of mine that were splayed wide on her pregnant belly.
In a reflective tone Zora asked as she leaned back against me, “How do you think it will all end?”
I didn’t really have to think about the question much. “Scripture will be fulfilled and the end will be as it is written in the Word of God. Whether I will live to see that day and see my Master return for me I cannot say. I have begun to age physically again as the way of all creation since the curse was begun in the Garden of Eden.
“So have I.” Zora commented softly.
She glanced up at me and smiled, “So what are your plans for your now diminishing life?”
“To lovingly care for you and the family we’ll raise together, even as I continue to be an agent for good and do whatever the Lord would have me to do.”
Zora continued to smile, “That’s a good answer, but what are your immediate plans oh diminishing one?” She asked tartly.
I gave her a stern look even though I knew she was just jesting, “I think you will find that I haven’t diminished any my love across all important parameters.”
“Prove it!” She said her face seductively challenging in her invitation to me.
We both missed the sun set below the edge of the horizon, as we were consumed with the passion risen in each of us for each other, which burned more intensely than the heat of the sun.

A few things about me
I live in the country. It’s the best place to be I’m
thinking. I share my life with my beautiful wife, Beth,
my three children and one cat named Herman.
When I’m not lost in a daydream the most likely
place you’ll find me at is flower gardening
or at the movie theatre. I use to think I was strong, but
now I freely admit that I’m weak. My new reality is
okay because Jesus Christ has me covered.
It’s better that way trust me!
