Stop and Think Caveman
Stop and Think Caveman
Once again I come out of that dark pit I call my cave, after looking out through my peephole with my narrow view of which I find so comfortable. You may ask why do I come out and have this narrow view of the world or just focus on only this one point alone. Well the truth is there are many sides, but I have been the advocate for all sides before and it just does not work. You still stand still like the rock soup that scientist clam we came from (evolution) of which I my friend believe that God created me. Well if this does not do something to move you to get off the fence and choose one side or the other. Then you people will never be anything but rock soup and evolution is true.
I have seen myself go in the military not once but three times, from 1979 to 1982 US NAVY and then again from 1984 to 1988 US ARMY OCS and then again 2001 to 2002 the NATIONAL GUARD. I never saw war because what I saw they did not call it war they called it a disturbance, yeah right! I was taught that you had to be but one thing and that was Gun ho, a go getter only one speed and that is on the military on and nothing else. I was and still am just doing things one way and never taught to do it any other. I believe that every service man should be compensated for his service no matter what his or her dispassion may be after; there are things that are done in the name of peace that just does not compute in the human remains that we who have served take home to our loved ones. I can show you the scares that remain, if you could look into my mind and electronically detect the difference in then and now, but I am afraid that I can’t. If you were to ask some or all of the service men what happened they would not be able to put it into words what is wrong with them or how they feel and how people still look at us strangely, but I am learning slow, I am.
The pictures that come back with us, the service man are not as accurate, just as they look! You see compassion but you don’t know how it got there, you see the hurt and sometimes the anger but you did not see the steps to get to those places. Man was made to love one another to hold the hand of each other not to just take lives; we do love and we do help but too few to really mention and most of the time it is after the damages are done. “I love my neighbor,” words that we should right here not just take us overseas to do? No! We should do that anyway but after we have done well to the man or woman right next door to us in our neighborhood and in our streets. Maybe if we did then we can see that when someone comes back from the war and things are not right we could help, just that would have saved my friend’s life, for 16 years he suffered and then died alone in his home, he fought for peace well now I guess he has peace now! These pictures only show some of what happens; inside these men they will forever be dealing with this and you will never ever know what in inside. And after when we come home we sometimes bring back the war and what we are trained and how we are trained to deal with this and sometimes it just does not work with life, and there is no one to help us, to bring us back or can they even bring us back once we leave? That is a good question huh? Well the end result may yet be waiting to be explored and the victims that we send to war may not be the victims of tomorrow.

Once the door is opened it is a process
Once the door is opened it is a process
I have found that the life I live is with less burdens and stress. Please don’t get me wrong, I have problems but they are only problems if that is what I make them out to be. First of all I believe in God and He has my attention all the time, so if I do this right then I benefit from first understanding God and how my needs and wants fit in this whole adventure that I have taken on.
The life at first is not easy but just like riding a bike you fall a few times and you get back up the question that we have a tendency to ask is “wow! does that hurt bad enough to make me not get up on this particular journey again?” instead of asking the question “why have I opened this door and what is it I am trying to gain (always reaching for the goal) there is a number of positive questions that could be asked that would be putting you back up on the horse again. I used that as an example, but I hope you get the Idea. This road of a Christ like walk is one with misunderstandings and more misleading; not on it’s own but has help from people who would like to see it’s down fall and also those who do not really understand the walk at all. Then there are those who are not willing to just obey the word of God, but that is what I think! Because of the majority of ample discontented people who would rather just pass up this great opportunity to serve a God that proves himself to be worthy all the time; but the Idea is to read the book for yourself, get to know what it says for yourself!. The idea of any said faith is to know what is the principle foundation and how to use this foundation so that you may benefit from the walk you are now investing in and eventually be able to help another follow that path in which you have come through and found peace. I must say that most religions or faiths have a dirty side; that side which you wish never existed or people would just forget.
It is a hard thing to forget the horror that these misunderstandings or the bad Ideas have left behind, that now have left a scar; because some men had the wrong idea in employing the wholesome teachings of our savior and lord Jesus Christ, and how God loves us or what God wants from us. I love to talk about the Apostle Paul, and as a matter of fact the whole bible and the men and women that it talks about excites me as if I was still a boy listening to the bible for the first time. The words that come to mind are God is good. It is the goodness of God that has brought me here at this hour and time, He had been watchful over me and many others as well, when this world unfolded itself and cause much hurt and misgivings to many, I was spared the sufferings of death and harm; the foundational skills that was employed was a praying mother at all times.
My mother was and is a prayer warrior, a woman that has been through the odds of me coming out alive in so many situations too many to mention at this time. But the focus is that this walk has obstacles, it has snares and all sorts of deceptions and could very well be the cause of your rejection or disbelief in the word of God.
I will somehow tell you about the things that I go through and have gone through over the years and we will walk together through this modern day mystery and reality saga and I hope as I learn you do too but most of all I wish to have you give me feed back so that I may evaluate myself and become more of the word than to stray from it thanks for this opportunity. Now I do not know who this thought comes from but I was told this and I hope this is the exact words that the writer used and that it does not cause conflict in your mind but shows you your purpose in this world and how important you are for God’s word to be told with accuracy and purpose.
God has no hands but our hands, to do His work today. He has no feet but our feet to lead men to His way. He has no tongue but our tongue to tell men that Christ died. He has no help but our help to lead men to His side. We’re the only Bible this careless world will read. We’re the sinners’ gospel; we’re the scoffers creed. We’re the Lord’s last message written in deed and word. What if the line is crooked? What if the print is blurred? What if our hands are busy, with other works than His? What if our feet are leading, where sins’ allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking of things that Christ would spurn? How can we hope to aid Him and hasten his return?

If not for her then.........
What will you sacrifice yourself for or whom? True love is sacrifice.
If not for her then…….
I have been in this corner many times before,
When the devil and his minions try desperately to even the score.
I have waged war with him over the years
And my God had to tell him “don’t kill him but you can bring him to tears”
So my journey has been set and my mother there in prayer,
She was keeping me alive for battles, but I was not yet aware.
I know that I have been spared the agony in my own life and the pain,
And you have saved my unworthy life again and again.
But today I am kneeling before heaven with only one plea,
God save my daughter’s life and if you have to please take me!
She has dodge a bullet or maybe two,
I have lived three life times and committed more crimes, please see with me and just let her go.
I know you said to reason, but lord I am so slow,
I would not know how to convince you but this I do know.
Your will is above me and I must obey,
So I will live out my days and my life I will fill with all of your praise.
I know the story of Hezekiah and when he turned to the wall,
I don’t want to disobedient so respectfully Father that is my call.
You are my Father and I said I will obey,
So why my lord does my daughter have to pay?
And if this a test of which I do not understand,
I am your humble servant Father talk to me and please take my hand.
So if this be your judgment, Father I still have one more cry,
Save my poor daughter from this; it is my crime, so if not for her Father then, do it for me.

Hearing The Call
Hearing the call
The world has many roads that echo with the call to do something and for some they hear absolutely nothing, tone dead, deaf, they march to a drum beat that neither moves their feel to a different drum but not even a heartbeat. That is where I do not desire to be, and God please help me, if I hear no beat at all.
So you walk the streets and every where you can see people, things, and so many things out of place or out of order, something tells you that this should not be; reality says that this is what it is, now the war in your head starts and it is such a constant thing for you all your life. With this urge to just do something, you don’t know! but it looks out of place and does not feel right and it does not even have to happen about you it could be someone else. For the love of my Father in heaven why is it like this, and I know that I could not be the only one who thinks this way (that is what you say to yourself). But life goes on till it hits you and then you say I give up this has got to stop, I am going to do something and I don’t care what the consequence are; I am going to make a difference. Then you find yourself in the fight to just do some good thing, then that is all you see yourself doing for the rest of you natural life, Wow! Isn’t this great but have you asked why you? And were you born with this? Where did this urge come from?
Wow what a thought what a deep thought and where does this lead it leads anywhere, but the thing is where did you begin? Begin with the devil then you would not have a good end why well first it is a thought of self and you end with self and alone to put it simply. But if you start with God then the table looks so different, you would think of others and end with a slue of people behind you and ready to take your cause as theirs. I will briefly explain, we are made in the image of God, which means that we look like Him but are empty vessels from birth. Now if we fill ourselves with the things that are of God then we will tend to give of ourselves as Jesus did and love the ways of God. On the other hand if we fill ourselves with evil then we will live selfish lives and take what we can and look for our self like the devil does and do the things he does. That is to say that God calls all of us to be good Godly men and women but we can look His way or look the other it is our choice but we are all called but who do you listen to and obey?
Please enjoy this gift of a thought that I have put into a poem of my call and the sound decision I made given the call. With lots of love and understanding I hope that God blesses you as he has blessed me with a capability to hear sound and recognize His call and then to obey Him.
Call to obey
I now lock the door, make sure it is tight, I sit up straight and start to write;
My words don’t flow as they once used to.
Then the battle roars, for thoughts which I had previously ignored,
They were only bits and pieces, that sounded nice, but now I think back they were all real nice.
I am a writing fool that is always trying to change some rule,
My only addiction is to write all kind of thoughts, weather truth or not I will even write science fiction.
I have wandered far deep into the minds of others who have gone before,
They have set the tone of writing and even more.
I will always be in this fight to wrestle my thoughts and just write, write, write!
So in my dungeon closed in darkness, if I condition myself well,
I can see the light that leads one out of hell.
I hope one day my purpose be, to write a psalm that will help men see,
But if I be short from my goal, my hopes are that the Holy Spirit takes hold.
My quest is not full of danger and excitement, you have to called and then sent;
I did not argue when I heard my master’s voice, I obeyed as if it were my only choice.
And now as a writer using God’s good sense, I wait for Him when even writing a smallest sentence.
So my thoughts on all of that when it comes to the end of the day,
Ever hear from God just say yes then Obey!

The last Stand
The last stand
There, at the bed he made his last stand,
There had not been a war he had not seen or a battle he had not won.
He had no more family and just only one friend,
It was made for him especially; it was his old wooden gun.
They made it through the wars and some mean battles too,
Side by side they moved as one but they were really two.
They respected each other as good mates should,
And when they got their medals, “at attention” that is the way they stood.
The two were inseparable as joined at the hips,
One never left the other when they danced they, both took a dip.
But the old guy was fading as if he would die,
If you knew them at all, then this would make you want to cry.
They were humble to the core I saw them fight with my own eyes,
No harsh words ever came out his mouth, let alone no lies.
And through pain and injury he would keep up his fight,
With that dear old riffle, he came out shooting all through the night.
His wars are all over now and he seems out of breath,
But that smile on his face I will never forget.
As he looked up to heaven and asked the dear Lord,
“Permission to approach the deck and then, May I please come aboard?”
But there was sadness in his eyes when he said “may I please say a word?”
I have friend who has been loyal as any friend should.
There are no more warring but he held up his end
He isn’t human but made out of wood and he is the old man’s only friend.
He has seen me through earthy battles and we have never been apart,
I would like to take him he is the center of my heart.
But the Lord simply said no! And he gathered that he would,
Because there are no more warring in heaven everything there is all good.
By GtW o8-29-o9 cc
sometimes we have good friends and we want them to go where we will or even get all of the things that we get too, but the truth is some of us will not get into heaven because we are not living to the standards of God himself and we will not get by the gatekeeper and the unrighteous will not come. please think on it if you know or have a friend that you love then love him or her enough to pray for him and his or her salvation. That my friend is your job once you are a christian love everyone into the kingdom of God.

Keeping a constant pace
Keeping a constant pace
Well when I was watching the Olympics last year, I who have been an athlete in my own right in many sports saw things accomplished by some amazing young people. They had put their lives on hold to constantly day after day practice their sport no matter how hard the task or the injuries they got, they put themselves to the test and were now participating in something that they worked for all their young lives to get a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in but also to make their mark. Now there are only three spots that are rewarded on that day gold, silver, and bronze now there are no consolation prizes for not placing in the top three and most people will not even remember your name and the books will have you maybe in it but it was not about you, you did not place!
Is there a prize for second place? Or is there only two places you do or you did not? Well I am afraid that the answer is simple and complicated but it is going to take a lot of what we need more of. God has no second place but we humans don’t know who and should not have the condemnation on us if we are living the life of Christ (for purpose of understanding we will call it living the Christian life). I have walked a life that was with the understanding that there was no forgiveness in God but more over no forgiveness in man and had a wrong concept of love. I did not believe that it could ever be a time that one could be dismissed from the burdens of their past. The wrong that you did someone saw and they were going to remind you of it, over and over again.
Now with that as the theme for life we all have no future because we would be bombarded with the past all out life and hope just would not ever exist. But there was a moment that I sat with God and found that I am set free from those things that man will hold over your head and constantly remind you of all your skeletons that you are hiding away in the closet. The truth is no more! We do more damage to ourselves and out future when we do this to ourselves, so stop now (it is a lie from the Devil himself) it is an act of none forgiveness when we keep this over our head or even when we let the world speak that into our life and we sit and believe such things. If you know Christ like I do or even better, then you know that forgiveness is the air that a Christian should breathe in and exhale. Once we have taken the Job of being a Christian we don’t have a choice but to do the work of a Christian, as God said to do, we are now under the orders of the High command God Himself, through Jesus Christ His son. So like any Good soldier we practice day by day our art to perfect it and that when it becomes time each day we have to use this art; without second guessing ourselves it is now second nature to us because it is in our heart and that is what we live everyday.
There is an everyday test, and we go through over and over till we get it right, we should be ever so vigilant on the fact that keeping ourselves in a state of readiness so that self condemnation does not make us weak and vulnerable, it is the most liberating thing that we can do for ourselves and for others as to set them free from that which they are already forgiven. The thing is to remember at all times; we are not perfect and should pray for our own flesh to come in line at all times and when we see others out of line doing the same thing having self-condemnation, pray for them as well as for yourself. The magical thing is that if we do this everyday for others, I mean always look out for those who are not doing as well as we and be always willing to sacrifice ourselves and what we have for others God will give you one of those three medals Gold, Silver, or Bronze and the ultimate reward is heaven and there are no other places. So we do what it takes or not and the choice is yours heaven or hell. The fact is that your sins are already forgiven and you now need to accept Christ and then walk the walk, or stay as you are and see what happens (life with God and Jesus Christ or stay in filth and die eternally in the lake of fire) I rather the eternal life, I just hate to get burnt for a long time. I wrote a poem that talks about forgiveness and letting go the past and embracing the future that God has for all of us I hope you like it.
No Condemnation !!!!!
yesterday has been forgiven
Yesterday
They say that yesterday is in the past, but somehow yesterday last and last.
Will I ever have my hopes and dreams?
It’s depressing not seeing these things.
I wish and wish my life away,
I am haunted with thoughts of yesterday.
Renew your mind the Bible says,
For what and why, I criticize!
Because of yesterday I have no hope,
Because of yesterday life is no joke.
Yesterday! This is the past,
But why do we make the memories of it last and last!
It is nice to know what the future hold, of moments bright, more precious than gold,
So I delight my time well spent, on my knees in God’s presence.
Now that I am ever so bold, in Jesus’ arms I will never grow cold,
I have God in my life, and he is in control, yesterday’s story will no longer be told
I seek my fortune there in God’s righteous fold!

Well when I was watching the Olympics last year, I who have been an athlete in my own right in many sports saw things accomplished by some amazing young people. They had put their lives on hold to constantly day after day practice their sport no matter how hard the task or the injuries they got, they put themselves to the test and were now participating in something that they worked for all their young lives to get a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in but also to make their mark. Now there are only three spots that are rewarded on that day gold, silver, and bronze now there are no consolation prizes for not placing in the top three and most people will not even remember your name and the books will have you maybe in it but it was not about you, you did not place!
