Testing, besting, charms and jesting,Life and love, in what investing?Entertaining and complaining,What of all of this has meaning? Ferris Wheels and Carousels areNot the path to life eternal.Jokes and tales and magic spells areNot what God has called you to do. Ministers of gospel you be,Telling others they can be free.Walk in fellowship with their … Continue reading Life Has Meaning

Love Others as Jesus Loved Us
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

The Senses
What’s that you hear?Whispers in the darkness,Rumors flying everywhere,Truth not to be found. What’s your response?Listen with attention?Engaging yourself in it?Or, do you walk away? What’s that you see?Sexual innuendosSo loaded with perversion,Purity not found. Do you give answer?Or entertain it?Join in with laughter?Or, you reject it? What’s that you taste?More food than needed –Wisdom … Continue reading The Senses
Where Are They All?
Where are all the children?Where’s the laughter and the joy?Where’s the smiles and the twinkling eyesOf the girls and of the boys? Where’s the sunshine, moon and starsThat once shone, oh so bright?Where’s the hugs and kisses of the mamasAs they tell their kids “goodnight”? Where’s the Daddies playing ballWith their sons out on the … Continue reading Where Are They All?

Mishmash Squish-Squash
Mishmash, squish-squash,Dancers dancing, diners posh,People singing, playing drums,Words a plenty, others hum. Tired limbs, feet sore,Not aware of what’s in store.Rainbows ending, lies a plenty,Faith in God, they ain’t got any. True love forsake,Trust in God they will not take.Having fun, so what’s at stake?Sincerity they truly fake. Time’s short, don’t snort,Mocking God is not … Continue reading Mishmash Squish-Squash
‘Tis The Season
‘Tis the season to be jolly,Light the trees, and hang the holly,Join in all the merrymaking,And in all the cookie baking. Light your candles on your altars,Don’t misstep, now don’t you falter,Cross your T’s and dot your I’s,Prepare yourself for the surprise. Join in the bands, and raise your hands,And stand your ground, and take … Continue reading ‘Tis The Season

All my heart to Him I … Continue reading Love Lifted Me
