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!

What do you believe??????
I am proud to announce to the world what I believe and although it may sound a little strong, please be of sound mind when you read this and find out why I am so focused and why I am standing on this rock instead of the one that you are on. I hold these truths to be self evident for the time I took to read the word of God with the intent to understand His word and to look at it with an open heart. I express myself not to hurt anyone but to give an absolute to what I believe and because this is what i have come to the understanding of the word of God and that I should not compromise God's word and for each time I move closer to God I should be firmly placed on Hid word and not just on my own understanding as the bible says. I have taken the time to look through the bible to see why God looks at things in such a definite program. Well He sets the path and He sets the conditions and He is God not us. And I intend to love the world forever in the manor that He, God says to do it and walk the path of His choosing not my Own. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight oh lord my strength and my redeemer In the Name of Christ Amen.
Now I release to you what I believe.
I believe
I believe in the God of Israel,
the God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob and of Moses.
I believe in Jesus Christ the son of the living God, Jehovah,
who made all that is!
I believe that the Bible is complete,
and it is the inspired word of the living God.
I believe that the Bible is the only manual,
designed for man; to live an upright and righteous life.
I believe that Jesus Christ came, and died on the cross for the sins of man.
I believe that Jesus Christ showed us the path; to live a holy life.
I believe that there is only one way to heaven,
and that is through the lord Jesus Christ.
I believe that Christ left clear instructions for us,
and that is to love one another,
and also encompassed in that is the Ten Commandments.
I believe that any man, who does not obey the Ten Commandments,
does not love God.
I believe that God makes no mistakes and leaves nothing to chance.
I also believe that God’s word never changes,
I believe it has been that way; even before time.
I believe that there is a heaven and there a hell,
I believe the answers to our questions,
lay in only one place; and that is the King James Bible.
I believe that any man who Questions my God,
Has never sat with Him and spoken with Him in spirit and truth.
I believe that everyone knows there is a God!
The truth is that they do not know His name, Jehovah, the God of Israel.
I believe that when one truly knows Jehovah God,
and looks in His eyes; they will fall to their knees.
I believe that this should be a Christian’s only pledge.
I believe, that this poem (I believe) was inspired by Jehovah God,
And written me.

Now I release to you what I believe.
I believe
I believe in the God of Israel,
the God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob and of Moses.
I believe in Jesus Christ the son of the living God, Jehovah,
who made all that is!
I believe that the Bible is complete,
and it is the inspired word of the living God.
I believe that the Bible is the only manual,
designed for man; to live an upright and righteous life.
I believe that Jesus Christ came, and died on the cross for the sins of man.
I believe that Jesus Christ showed us the path; to live a holy life.
I believe that there is only one way to heaven,
and that is through the lord Jesus Christ.
I believe that Christ left clear instructions for us,
and that is to love one another,
and also encompassed in that is the Ten Commandments.
I believe that any man, who does not obey the Ten Commandments,
does not love God.
I believe that God makes no mistakes and leaves nothing to chance.
I also believe that God’s word never changes,
I believe it has been that way; even before time.
I believe that there is a heaven and there a hell,
I believe the answers to our questions,
lay in only one place; and that is the King James Bible.
I believe that any man who Questions my God,
Has never sat with Him and spoken with Him in spirit and truth.
I believe that everyone knows there is a God!
The truth is that they do not know His name, Jehovah, the God of Israel.
I believe that when one truly knows Jehovah God,
and looks in His eyes; they will fall to their knees.
I believe that this should be a Christian’s only pledge.
I believe, that this poem (I believe) was inspired by Jehovah God,
And written me.

looking for that good man! A man's prospective.
Looking for that good man! A man’s prospective.
Wow! An epiphany (the light bulb went off inside my head; today got up and I just wanted to give everything I had away. All my earthly possessions, all of it) stop! Rewind this, not give all but most of it; Ah well, just a little of it, well see me tomorrow and I will tell you what I really mean (that is more like it). Well that is the way most people look at giving, they will not give it their all; they would hold back something. Because they have been hurt or don’t think that this is the right thing to do. Yes! I will say it. Us Christians too we don’t give our best all the time. We tend to hold back for whatever reason.
Sorry I can’t live that way! I will find myself giving from the heart and the first thing that comes to my mind is what God has impressed on my heart. Then I would try to fight God fearing that I made a mistake. Well I too have to adjust just like a lot of my fellow Christ follower, to stop and just do what God places on my heart; because the very minute that we take another look, we tend to change our mind and then that is it. (We have lost the battle and we are not what we say we are anymore!) Hard but true, there is supposed to be that part of God in each of us Christ followers, which Jesus left for us to finish his work; so that if we let Him do the job, then with our practice we will let the Holy ghost do His job and Christ will do the rest. I know that sounds easy and for some people it is, yes we are human that is why we need help.
There is a good thing to remember at all times that God is always there with us in our pursuit of being like Christ, but we just need to read the scriptures and follow them. Please don’t listen to the he said she said; always read the bible for yourself because when you see the scriptures for yourself it does make a difference.
I have seen men today and we are so lost and women don’t even know if the things they say are true or possible for us to do. I have found that I too have struggled with the man that I see and the man I am and the man I want to be or should be. What a struggle the thing is we have all the fix it books and do it this way books and they become the best seller then fade away into the mist of darkness. Well! There goes virtue out the door and in the trash. Please men look at a book that has been on the best seller’s list for ages and is still there and has changed the lives of so many. If you want to be a prize, then do what prize winners do! Read the bible, keep it in your heart and be the type a man that loves from the heart and soul. Show it in your every action and have God to be accountable to He is greater than you and you live up to a higher call at all times. You will find that you are not perfect but you live at the no compromising zone and you will always be respected for that a man of class. You will find it is easy to love all the way around; your wife and your children at home and the ones who you call your enemies, your co-workers and boss and friends, your neighbors and your church members as well. I am not saying that they will all like you but it would be easy for you to love them.
Labor of my love
The curtain fell today my dear, and the kids are out of school,
I had some laundry to pick up today is that something that you could do?
I think you are over burdened dear so I will put the dishes up,
You are not feeling good to night; there is tea down stars I’ll bring you a cup?
I love to do the things you ask in your eyes; sweet there is so much love,
I’ll wash your feet and rub them every night before you go to sleep.
I worship God each and everyday and He told me the key,
To treat you with greater love, that He given to me.
I will take the garbage out, after we all eaten,
I will tuck the children and you to bed before I end my day.
My first job is to God the Father and all that He has asked of me,
Then to you and all the kids I must provide for daily!
The next day off to work I’ll go to do battle with life,
Though countless hours I will sweat and fight; just to make things right!
And when I come to get some rest I’ll look into those eyes,
And know that my job has just began I have to love my wife.
I see this as no job at all, but doing things just right,
A man may do all the things you ask; and do it every day.
Though some may say that I am over worked,
This is just a joy for me to do, just the labor of my love.

Now what next?
So what is next?
I opened the door and to my surprise I found an unopened box on the door step, so I was extremely glad to see it; but the thing is, I was expecting it and it was on time. Now what if you are not expecting some thing and you were not prepared for that thing? Would you have that joy when it came? And really take it one step further what if it was something that you did not want to happen what if this thing was even something that you were warned about? Well in that case this unwelcome guest may cause you some pain or hardship and would be something to deal with. I know that you have had some of those but really what do you do? What do you say at that time when you knew this was a possibility! Kind of hard to deal with at the time it happens.
Let us look at something close to home and say if you were to die today this very minute. What next well there are so many thoughts on what next, but does anyone know and really what do you even say to something like that? All kind of things like you got to die sometime! And the most famous life is short and you got to go sometime, so live life to the fullest! Wow! That makes a lot of sense, yeah I know because I used all those and had my answers all in a row; but get this one experience is the best teacher so I am going to do it all. That kind of makes me laugh when in my life I have been in four major accidents and have survived them all, did I mention that I also had a three thousand pound car fall on my chest? Well I got stories don’t I? No I have only one story and that is I have been blessed, I have friends who in just one incident their life was wiped out and that was the end! Wow! Lucky! Huh? Bad things happen to all types of people everyday and it does not respect money, clan, ethnic group, or any part of the earth that you maybe. These things just happen and now what? each one of us have just the same chance to die in bed or out in a storm or even giving our new born baby a kiss good night. True! Well now do you life in a box or do you life the best life possible always doing the best we know because all the plans we have made may not even come to being. I choose to love the people in and around me to the best that God has instructed me. And the enemies that want to be my enemies, well they can be what ever they want I will not be that to them I choose to be a lover of men and women (people). I will forgive before I have to, I will give from the heart, I will do before I am asked, I will help whenever I can, I will not make religion take control of the good that is needed at the time I hold myself to a higher call and God, Jesus expects that of me. Then the day that I die I would be ready for anything that pops up on the door step and will not be surprised because I would be ready for anything good or bad.
So I am not afraid of the curtain being closed and the music stopped because I have being doing what I am called for and all mistakes are rectified with the Father. What is your stand today?
The final Curtain
There is a moment in time,
When we all face the final curtain!
Where do we go from here?
Are you ever certain?
The question had toyed with my mind;
This left me totally blind.
The were times I went without direction,
Makes me see I need to make a real decision.
My heart it needs to be plowed;
To remove the disease and the infection!
But how could I have known this,
With out those with deep conviction!
I am so thankful now,
For the unction of the spirit;
That got some one’s juices flowing,
Look at me now I am just growing!
Now this is one thing of which I am certain,
I will be ready before the final Curtain.

Tinsel Strength
Mathew 5:43-48 truth about love
Tinsel Strengths!
There are many ways to love you and it shows, for a bit of truth you love you so much that you would not go without a few days meal unless it benefited you. Oh! Guy, please! Do not say that, I give to others and to people in need. I give my church money on Sunday and I help out at the neighborhood food bank and see to the sick. So there you see I love people besides myself. I do that too, so let’s drew straws for who will choose to die first when the worst comes, are you ready? No I will die for you any day of the week and that will not change no matter if I get the longest straw. Well that is not fair it should be according to situation, not just like that. Well that is what solders do they have made up their minds to fight and pay the ultimate cost for you and some of them don’t even know your name, and they don’t care if you like them or not.
I know this kind of man all too well, I joined the Navy and had a fire in my eye that was not to do anything but be a military man. I wanted to be a man of honor a man that had ribbons on my breast plate, which said that I was not afraid to die for my belief. But the action was not close enough so I tater joined the Army and then at the age of forty I tried to see if this body would make the grade, but my body was torn and tattered. I know the kind of man who says I will give my life for you any day no matter the circumstances and no matter the time you are worth it to me.
Well God test that tinsel strength and integrity everyday and our performance is measured and we should be increasing this strength as we have it tested and need to build it up. I have seen those who love them selves too much and make unnecessary compromises for what? Stand on the principals that you believe love people enough that you would not only help from your excess but sometimes give to those who are in need more than you at the time. It is ok to sacrifice that is the cure element of love and giving is the best part of compassion. And hate just does not have a voice when you do things without selfishness, Wow! that was so easy to say but took a life time to do. I must say that I am learning to love, and most of us are too but it means that we all have to look at love differently and change our minds 180 degrees around because we don’t even have a clue.
Accountability!
There is a place that my God has taken me,
Not just a place to say that I’ve done well.
But a place of great responsibility,
“That’s what Christ said” and we should be.
I stand here accountable,
To help my brother to be free!
To teach him all the things,
That Jesus did teach me.
Not just to feed the man,
But also to hold his hurting hand;
To stay right there with him,
Till alone, he can stand!
I know, I must be always forgiving,
And I know my brother is just a man.
The bible says we are all sinners and there is none righteous, but only one.
But together we can help each other out, and then we have won.
So my friends just like a minuteman,
I am ready and waiting, Just to do the best I can.
Remember please! That I am only human too,
Yet still, I am always eager to give a helping hand.
To God I give the glory,
For He had made me who I am;
I am his servant forever, till the very end.
He makes us all accountable, to all the people that we befriend.

This man’s cry to God
This man’s cry to God
I found myself on my knees looking on the ground; face down lips almost in the dirt and not one care on how I would look when I raise my head. and I did want to lift my eyes to look in the face of who was in front of me, I dare not; I was before God the Master of my life. Has God left me in this place? Or have I moved away from where He told me to stay? Then I awoke to find that it was just a waking thought, one that I have had before but I never told anyone of these type of things before till now. This was so typical of something that would happen to me, I remember when I was a young boy I would just walk and walk while crying and thinking that I was not loved and I was so lonely; Not even having a friend with me and all I could do was cry and cry, and I would cry so much that while I walked I would not even pay attention to where I was going and then found I had no idea where I was or how I got here. Then my mind would think that this was so cool and I somehow went through time and space and got to a place where there were no more tears. Wow this is it heaven (or at least so I thought and that was good) Now that I am a man I found that to reach that kind of place or euphoria you had to do more walking and more crying to get to that place or state, and then you kind of knew where you were, so that did not work after a while.
I have wanted to get to that place lately, I have just wanted arms as strong as a man’s around me but as gentle and soft as a woman and just as caring. Where would I find that and how could that be possible well I have a secret that I will tell you but before I give you that I will show you that you can cry out and hear answers from God and be sure that it is His voice that speaks. Now this is going to take you into a place that you may not want to go but if you don’t then don’t go! if you cannot I am so sorry that you will not get what I have gotten, but I leave that up to you it is your choice. God does exist and He can be found and it is not my imagination that I am speaking about; He is in my consciousness and very real and very much alive, and should not be taken for granted. When we do we find out that there is a point when we hit reality. Then find the very truth of God's existence and find yourself on one side or another, this could be the time before you die or in a life or death situation, that place is where most men have that epiphany “oh God or something greater than I help” How am I so sure, well it came at a time when my body came under so much stress and it leaves consciousness and I was held there by the mere thread of life, my mind or any man’s mind is hanging there in space and time and your spirit is just in waiting and you have given a chance or a choice to make or to look and make notes of what you see, well I was there! Right there and my choice was to live but not the same as I did before.
I believe that God, my God, the God of Moses and of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob had me see something that pooled all of my senses to be aware of His true existence and tangibility, this was a gift from the Almighty God. The meaning may be different for others but to me, it meant that I did not love enough, there was no sacrifice made, so was I really loving people? I had nothing to loose and it was safe for me in my life. Because I did good things; I was a nice guy and I helped people I thought I should true love! (so what was wrong Guy?) just being a little hard on yourself? And feeling a little sadistic? No!
You see I believe that true love has some kind of sacrifice and should mean much more and kindness needs to go a little further, there should be more fruit and growth with love, and a lot of people would agree with me. So what is it all about? It is about true love! Love that has depth and does not lack substance, it is about how to show it and give it and express it and ask for forgiveness because you lack it unknowingly that is the more that I am talking about. I have two poems that I will share with you, that I wrote to give a bit of a prospective of love and how compassion is the giving side of loving but is sometimes the most misunderstood part of love or the part that gets you in to trouble for not doing it right or to one’s liking and some thoughts that you did not show it the way someone the Christian should. Never fear people are people and you will not always please the world but just try your best and read God’s word in the bible and always have a open heart to do as Christ did. The truth is you will get different views but line them up and see what God says. Hey it is a start to living a life filled with the desire to love others the way God instructs not the way man may confuse it to be.
I wish we could just love as Christ loved but I am afraid that even he was slain for doing that and He is deity. You know that is our only fight that if we at least try to do just that and achieve that kind of love it makes us somewhat civilized.
Compassion
Compassion! Whenever I employ it,
My heart leaps for joy.
I am human, with faults!
That I know.
Humbly I express, I care!
Humbly I express, that I am blessed.
Please take my hand, let me truly help!
How else can I show compassion?
I know my faults, and I won’t call out yours.
Please take my hand!
No agenda attached.
And I hope you can forgive me,
For all the things I lack.

The Seed
There is a Seed that few may know,
That when planted will always grow.
Into the largest tree your eyes would ever see,
Of which, I will tell and you will agree.
As I reflect in my heart and soul,
Of all the things, this seed beholds.
Now! when I tell you, I hope to be right,
The values in it please hold on tight.
This gift from God, is true love revealed,
The Seed that walked and whose hands did heal.
Who’s heart’s light so did shine,
To suffer the tree and save mankind.
The question is asked while this Seed did bleed,
Will you release your burdens and just receive?
I do confess! He will do the rest,
His shed blood will cover you with His righteousness!
No Seed can grow like this one can,
And save the souls of mortal man.
So plant this seed into your heart, with all intent,
This is God’s true plan! Prepare to be sent.
Once delivered please stand back, watch pray!
Be patient, then you will see what you’ve got.
It will grow I swear of that,
And the spirit in it will keep track.

I found myself on my knees looking on the ground; face down lips almost in the dirt and not one care on how I would look when I raise my head. and I did want to lift my eyes to look in the face of who was in front of me, I dare not; I was before God the Master of my life. Has God left me in this place? Or have I moved away from where He told me to stay? Then I awoke to find that it was just a waking thought, one that I have had before but I never told anyone of these type of things before till now. This was so typical of something that would happen to me, I remember when I was a young boy I would just walk and walk while crying and thinking that I was not loved and I was so lonely; Not even having a friend with me and all I could do was cry and cry, and I would cry so much that while I walked I would not even pay attention to where I was going and then found I had no idea where I was or how I got here. Then my mind would think that this was so cool and I somehow went through time and space and got to a place where there were no more tears. Wow this is it heaven (or at least so I thought and that was good) Now that I am a man I found that to reach that kind of place or euphoria you had to do more walking and more crying to get to that place or state, and then you kind of knew where you were, so that did not work after a while.
I have wanted to get to that place lately, I have just wanted arms as strong as a man’s around me but as gentle and soft as a woman and just as caring. Where would I find that and how could that be possible well I have a secret that I will tell you but before I give you that I will show you that you can cry out and hear answers from God and be sure that it is His voice that speaks. Now this is going to take you into a place that you may not want to go but if you don’t then don’t go! if you cannot I am so sorry that you will not get what I have gotten, but I leave that up to you it is your choice. God does exist and He can be found and it is not my imagination that I am speaking about; He is in my consciousness and very real and very much alive, and should not be taken for granted. When we do we find out that there is a point when we hit reality. Then find the very truth of God's existence and find yourself on one side or another, this could be the time before you die or in a life or death situation, that place is where most men have that epiphany “oh God or something greater than I help” How am I so sure, well it came at a time when my body came under so much stress and it leaves consciousness and I was held there by the mere thread of life, my mind or any man’s mind is hanging there in space and time and your spirit is just in waiting and you have given a chance or a choice to make or to look and make notes of what you see, well I was there! Right there and my choice was to live but not the same as I did before.
I believe that God, my God, the God of Moses and of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob had me see something that pooled all of my senses to be aware of His true existence and tangibility, this was a gift from the Almighty God. The meaning may be different for others but to me, it meant that I did not love enough, there was no sacrifice made, so was I really loving people? I had nothing to loose and it was safe for me in my life. Because I did good things; I was a nice guy and I helped people I thought I should true love! (so what was wrong Guy?) just being a little hard on yourself? And feeling a little sadistic? No!
You see I believe that true love has some kind of sacrifice and should mean much more and kindness needs to go a little further, there should be more fruit and growth with love, and a lot of people would agree with me. So what is it all about? It is about true love! Love that has depth and does not lack substance, it is about how to show it and give it and express it and ask for forgiveness because you lack it unknowingly that is the more that I am talking about. I have two poems that I will share with you, that I wrote to give a bit of a prospective of love and how compassion is the giving side of loving but is sometimes the most misunderstood part of love or the part that gets you in to trouble for not doing it right or to one’s liking and some thoughts that you did not show it the way someone the Christian should. Never fear people are people and you will not always please the world but just try your best and read God’s word in the bible and always have a open heart to do as Christ did. The truth is you will get different views but line them up and see what God says. Hey it is a start to living a life filled with the desire to love others the way God instructs not the way man may confuse it to be.
I wish we could just love as Christ loved but I am afraid that even he was slain for doing that and He is deity. You know that is our only fight that if we at least try to do just that and achieve that kind of love it makes us somewhat civilized.
Compassion
Compassion! Whenever I employ it,
My heart leaps for joy.
I am human, with faults!
That I know.
Humbly I express, I care!
Humbly I express, that I am blessed.
Please take my hand, let me truly help!
How else can I show compassion?
I know my faults, and I won’t call out yours.
Please take my hand!
No agenda attached.
And I hope you can forgive me,
For all the things I lack.

The Seed
There is a Seed that few may know,
That when planted will always grow.
Into the largest tree your eyes would ever see,
Of which, I will tell and you will agree.
As I reflect in my heart and soul,
Of all the things, this seed beholds.
Now! when I tell you, I hope to be right,
The values in it please hold on tight.
This gift from God, is true love revealed,
The Seed that walked and whose hands did heal.
Who’s heart’s light so did shine,
To suffer the tree and save mankind.
The question is asked while this Seed did bleed,
Will you release your burdens and just receive?
I do confess! He will do the rest,
His shed blood will cover you with His righteousness!
No Seed can grow like this one can,
And save the souls of mortal man.
So plant this seed into your heart, with all intent,
This is God’s true plan! Prepare to be sent.
Once delivered please stand back, watch pray!
Be patient, then you will see what you’ve got.
It will grow I swear of that,
And the spirit in it will keep track.

In plain site
In plain site
Life is ugly they say, it is not a respecter of person but that seems to be so many things today. Where to get the answers that would appease each one of us and have us enjoy the cards dealt us or understand that there is not a thing that sin in this world does not touch or will destroy. I know from my own life that it can be hard and life can be cruel, unkind, wicked and sometime just heartless; so how do you prepare for the worst or even just brace yourself for the shock of a lose?
This has become a good center piece for talk shows and political debates; and is some of the reasons to just do something bad. I heard it said once let that be the reason (meaning that it does not matter what the reason is I will use that, whatever it is) Now I will take you to the streets where much happens and no one does anything about it. Media stands on their pedestal and make their own stories and never get their hands in the mess and call themselves just an none bias observer, ha! Well that is just the thing their view is part of the problem they incite riots and feel no obligation to how the out come of a story unfolds; they feel that they so know what the tail is and they do not have an obligation to help or respond with care to each one of the stories that they have incited or told. Well I feel responsible for the things that I say also write and will help to make things right when it goes out of order. Yes I did say that I have to feel something feel responsible for when something goes bad while I am on watch.
Well that is true that I did not cause it to happen but did I stand by while something was happening and I did nothing? Well I have a higher call in life and even sometimes I err and am careless to stop a kid from doing wrong or help someone who fell and needs some help up. Is that my job or your job well yes! It is the job of all to help in some way. Why? Well I live here you live here and it is my home and your home this earth is our home and although you may have that land in your name it always go back in the pot for someone else to use especially if you leave this world and you have no offspring. So you can’t take it with you be good enough to set yourself above the rest and look out for the other guy no matter who he or she is. It is the same story that has been told for eons and it will not change. There are people right in plain site that could use help or a hand up don’t pass them by do something say something and mean it will make a difference is the life of you and the person that you do it to and maybe the world who knows you maybe the last piece in the puzzle to make it all turn out good. But more over than that God is alive and weather you believe in Him or not let us just make sense and do the right thing no matter what. Yes I do believe in God and I know you do too because you are not the biggest on this earth there is someone bigger than you and for that reason just be good to someone else. All this world needs to do the right thing is a heart and a Godly path to follow; it can’t hurt any if you do the right thing?
A servant’s heart
God had shared His plan with me one day, He let me know just who I am!
So I try each day to walk so diligently, and not overstep my bounds.
It is hard to live the way God wants, but He only expects for us to try,
And watch the step make daily, and let Jesus lead our life...
I have learned to love the quest God gave; it is the Father’s will;
That I and others pass through His gates upon that sacred day.
We all should help our neighbors’ first and then work right down the line,
Our efforts should not just go to waste but to all men be kind!
If I could have but only one wish now, it is to correct the things that I have done;
And to diminish the strips upon the master’s back, I helped to kill God’s only son.
I never thought that I would cry this must, when evil left my heart,
My burdens I give to God each day and He keeps giving good things back.
This walk we have is easier now! Than in the days of Norah,
Still we grumble, we fuss and we fight and cry too much for one to bear.
So please we should all some gratitude, Christ has made our burdens light,
So Father could you please extend my life; so I may keep on the fight.
I love my enemies, sister, brother, family and friends, till time when you call me in!
I am your servant here and now I only want for you to win.
I wait for the day you are at the throne; God’s right hand man,
To take me in your arms and hold me tight; and breathe new life in me again!

Sky
Sky
I lift my head up high
And gaze into the sky
Looking all around me
This is what I see
Clouds go passing by
My thoughts ask where do they come from and why
Oh where did you come from?
Your beauty! The sun does magnify
Your creator must be awesome
Please tell me where do you come from?
Now sun!
I’ve seen you bring the morning
When my eyes you set on fire
And the birds began to sing
Making dewdrops seemed like diamonds
And the sky turns to crimson
Just before the night
Please give me just one answer
And try to be polite
It just makes my heart just wander
Did you even know that the moon
Comes out at night?
The stars are like an army
They patrol the dark night sky
God position them perfectly and
He made their sparkling smile
I have seen lots of God’s creation
And marvel at their beauty
Each time they catch my eye
But none I’ve seen as pretty
As the heavenly Sky

This is the inspiration for this poem.
The sky is the hardest to figure out, and nothing in this world that can make you feel closer to God than that. The things of this world get better as we know whom God is and having faith in Him and seeing all the things God can do. God opened up my eyes and just for me each day He has the sky display the heavens in a harmony not to be repeated twice. The sky is the largest canvas that I know and it is the most masterful fragment of God’s handy work. Please invest in the sky by thanking God for it and the beauty that unfolds inside your heart when it strikes you. God gives it to us and we pass it by because we don’t look up at Him enough. That is what I think of when I see the sky and it sees me.
