Life and love and hate and evil,Peace and calm and oft upheaval,Day by day, and ins and outs,Faith and purpose, tears and doubts, Sun and rain and sleet and hail,Live with purpose, sometimes fail,Morning, noon, and nighttime, too,Middle age and old and new, Never know what each day brings,Have a lot; not many things;Living here … Continue reading What Life is About

If Only
They die so young in wars,In suicides and overdoses.The fatalities are many.So many living without hope: They drown their pain in drugs,In alcohol and other addictions.They play video games hours on end,And engross their minds with porn. They are looking for something,They may not know what,But something to fill the empty space,And something their memories … Continue reading If Only
Tis a Mystery
Tis a myst’ry how many sleep –Watch o’er their lives, they do not keep.They’re not in tune with Spirit-God.Their lives in Christ are but a fraud. The Spirit speaks to them, and yet,They walk away, and they forget.They teeter-totter forth and back –Believing, doubting, faith they lack. Complacency is still their game,And so, they remain … Continue reading Tis a Mystery
Don’t Cop Out
Clip-clop, flippity-flop,Watch your footing,Don’t cop out. Beware unaware,Check your gauges,Don’t them spare. Fine tune all your senses,Don’t be takenBy happenstances. Train minds godliness,Righteous andHoliness. An Original Work / January 31, 2023

But who foretold of this, it would come true?Who said that Jesus’ birth we must renew?Who said that Christmas is the day to beThinking of … Continue reading A Christmas Poem
Jesus Paid It All
Now Jesus paid it all one day,And so my sins He took away.He pardoned me of all my sinSo I would now live just for Him. For in His death He ransomed meSo from my sin I’d be set free,So I would walk with Him each dayAnd kneel to God and to Him pray. And … Continue reading Jesus Paid It All
Ring Out the Sound
Ring out the sound, ring out the bells,And of the gospel, tell them, tell.Do not hold back, and please don’t slack,For many of the truth do lack. Get that truth out, give it a shout,And don’t you now have any doubtThat God can take it, take it far,So be his witness near and far. Say, … Continue reading Ring Out the Sound
The Tapestry
The tapestry was marvelous,Well done, and was not frivolous.All shown to fit together wellFor all who on the earth do dwell. For God had His design in mindIn hopes that Him the people find.He showed Himself to everyoneThrough His created works, well done. But humans have a different mind,And therefore not all God do find.For … Continue reading The Tapestry
No Matter
No matter what may come my way,I choose to not from my Lord stray. I welcome Him, with open arms.My circumstances, not alarm. He comforts me with all His love.I keep my eyes on what’s above. He tenderly speaks words to me.They tell me who I ought to be. My Lord loves me, and I … Continue reading No Matter
