Who do you serve?

Hell's Bells

by Sally Law


The emergency meeting had been called to order. As usual, it was awfully warm.

The ruler of the demons, Beelzebub, presided.

"The boss wanted me to go over this week's plan. As you know, the coronavirus is working splendidly, and the ability to destroy human life has never been easier."

"Amen," said the choir of putrid souls.

"A bonus that cannot be ignored, is the blame the media has put upon all world leaders, especially the President of the United States, for our handiwork." {Applause.}

"This is pure genius," said the dark lord. "We have so many humans aiding us in our daily annihilation protocol. Kudos to whoever cunningly slid abortion-on-demand legislation into a pandemic aid bill."

The master of the underworld finally joined the group. "I plan to generously reward all humans who help us achieve our goals. Not that they will be around to enjoy it."

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10

"Anyone who is not with me opposes me, and anyone who is not working with me is actually working against me."
Matthew 12:30

"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

If the legislature of the United States truly wants to help, this is not the way to do it. More politically motivated abortion madness was slipped into a pandemic relief bill, along with other things to slow down the bill. Does Congress really want to help? Shouldn't this bill be about sustaining and aiding life?

Whom do you believe? The Lord or the devil? I believe the Lord, the giver of life.

You Gotta Serve Somebody by Bob Dylan

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage
You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage
You may be a business man or some high-degree thief
They may call you doctor or they may call you chief
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes you are
You're gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody...."

Beelzebub is the ruler of the demons according to the Bible.
