Here you will find the Poetry and Prayers that I write, and access links to the traditional Gospel songs and Hymns of the Christian Faith of which I am a member.
So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
Those Who Oppose The Living God Practice Pride AND The Call Of Almighty God's Holy Spirit They Actively Defy! They Are Wilful AND Wayward AND No Respecters Of Holy God's Truth AND They Take Much Pleasure In Gainsaying AND Acting Mindfully Abstruse! Vanity Is A Vexation Of Spirit AND Investigation Into Too Many Books Likewise AND Walking Wisely In One's Own Eyes Sets One Up To Be Used As A Devilish Device! Be Careful, Ye Wayward! Be Circumspect, Ye Vain! Be Mindful, Ye Curious When Into The Almighty God's Business You Take The Budget Airplane For The Eternal God Is Not A Respecter Of Persons AND What Is Given Into Our Keeping Is Available For Us To Know BUT That Which The Glorious God Has Kept In His Own Counsel - Don't Be Bold - You Will The Answer Never Know! Be A Child ... You Need The Righteous God's Teaching! Be A Servant ... You Need Blessing God's Leading! Be A Pilgrim Walking Through This Fleeting Life! Be A Stranger To Sinful Ways AND Of The Holy Hand Do Not Let Go For Those Who Will See The Lord Of Life In Peace Will Never Go With The Wicked World's Flow! Study ... To Show Thy Self Approved! Learn ... The Ways Of The Lord! Live ... With A Gentle Touch On The World For This World Is Not Our Home AND We Must Treat It As Such AND Not Raise It Up To Be Much! Do Not Envy The Evil! Do Not Pamper Pride! Do Not Greet The Greedy AND Do Not With The Leprosy Of Sin Abide! Take The Lord At His Word! Take The Word For Bread And Eat! Take The Water Of Life And Drink AND Do Not Practice Deceit! Rescue The Perishing! For Them The Holy Spirit Is The Refreshing! Take Time To Care For The Lost And Weary Soul AND Show Them That Heaven With Christ Is To Be The Soul's Sole Goal!
Every Converted Christian HOLDS Three Positions In The Kingdom Of God AND As Child Of God Servant Of God Citizen Of The Household Of God We Should Be With Christ Of Like Mind!
Wait A Minute! I'm Confused! First ... Converted Christian?! Isn't That An Oxymoron!?!
Actually ... No! There Is A Biblical Precedent For That!
I'm All Ears!
Do Your Thing, Spray Can ... uh, ahhmm, Bert!
Jesus And Peter Had A Conversation
AND Jesus Made A Telling Remark That Should Cause Shock Give Pause AND Encourage All Christians Called To Think
- Seriously Think -
About Our Hoped For Ascendancy Unto The Great Reward!
WHAT ... Are You Talking About?!
Do You Remember ...
Feed My Sheep Feed My Lambs Feed My Sheep?!
Who Could Forget That?! I Consider That Jesus Christ's Response To Peter's Three Denials!
You Would Be Right AND Peter Understood That!
How Long Did Peter And The Brethren Walk With Live With Eat With Sleep Together With Work With The Lord?!
A Grand Total Of Three And One Half Years
OR 42 Months
OR
1260 Days!
Would You Call Garrulous Peter A Christian?!
Yes, Indeed I Would! Peter Loved His Master!
Would You Call Peter A Faithful Working Christian?!
Without A Doubt!
Would You Call Peter ...?!
... What You're Going To Say Say Fast! I've Got Far To Go!
Very Well!
Why Did Jesus Say To Peter:
... And When You're Converted Strengthen Aka Help The Brethren ...!
... When You're Converted!?!
Gracious ... !
... Merciful Powers ... !
... Lord, Help Us!
Indeed!
Peter, James And John Went Every Where With
AND YETPeter Was Unconverted Even Though He Had Seen The Transfiguration Of His Master AND Had Personally Heard The Voice Of Father God!
He'd Seen
The Blind Given Sight The Deaf Receive Hearing Multiple Dead Raised To Life Lepers Made Whole Lame Made To Walk Demoniacs Unchained Captive Sinners Set Free AND He, Himself Was Unconverted!
He Was Still Following Self! He Was Not Yet In Christ Living Abundantly!
If He Was Close To Christ AND
Remained Unconverted That Says Volumes About Us!
Namely?!
A Change Will Come ... If We Remain Faithful
Conversion Is A Progressive Work
The Converted Soul Is To Help Others
We Are Not To Walk In Pride
For Denial Of The Lord Is Waiting In The Shadows! It's A Very Real Thing AND Humility Of Spirit Is A Blessed Never A Shameful Thing!
So Much For Crying Lord, Lord!
No Wonder The Lord Said That Crying His Name Will Not Get One Into The Kingdom Of Heaven!
Look At These Contrasting Statements Made Concerning Two Close Companions Of The Lord:
Being Unmoved By The Touch Of His Master Judas Went Out ... And It Was Night!
Being Forgiven By The Look Of Compassion From His Master
Peter Went Out ... And Wept Bitterly!
I Get It! I Get It! Judas Went Out Led By Self ...!
... And Betrayed The Lord ...!
... And Died In Darkness ... Lost!
But Peter ...
Peter Denied His Lord Heard The Cock Crowing AND Remembered Jesus' Warning AND Looked Around At His Lord AND Saw His Lord Looking At Him ...!
... And The Lord's Look Of Compassion Understanding Forgiveness Broke Peter's Sinful Self ...!
... And Peter Went Out And Cried Bitter Tears Of Confession And Repentance ...!
... And He Was ...!
CONVERTED!!!
Hallelujah! Peter Became A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord! Peter's Tears Broke The Back Of The Fraud! Peter Was No More Brash BUT
Became Mindful Gentle Meek He'd Done His Repentance In Sackcloth And Ashes AND He Knew Of A Surety That The Journey To Eternal Life Is A Steady Striving Wearying Walk Not A Brisk Energetic 100 Yard Dash!
You Should Tell That To The Prosperity Preachers Who Are In Race For The Believing Man's Gifts Of Ready Cash!
May The Living God Forgive Them Even Though They Know What They Are Doing!
One Bright Day In The Sight Of All Miriam, Dear, Dear, Miriam Broke Out In ... Gasp! SPOTS! S peaking Jealously And P ridefully And In Direct O position To Obvious T ruth S preads The Spores Of Sin!
Miriam Is A Godly Woman! Woman Is ... Significantly A Church! Miriam Is A Good Church BUT Good Church Got The Taint Got Leprosy AND Good Woman Got Knocked Off Her Perch! Leperous Woman Church Is Shut Out Shut Out Of The Congregation The Camp Of God Until Her Contagious Condition Can Be Cured!
The Realm
Outside Of The Household Of Faith
Is Cold!
It Is The Place Of The Dying!
The Place Where Those
In Opposition To God's Truth
Are Bold!
The Leprosy The Contagion Affects All That It Touches AND Significantly The Congregation Of God The Church Of God Cannot Grow Grow In Grace While Leprosy ... The Contagion Of Sin Known Sin Willful Sin Is Welcomed Practiced Promulgated By All Adherents Within! Outside The Camp Of God BUT YET In The All-Knowing All-Seeing Ever-Present God's Holy Sight The Church The Woman ... Falling ... Fallen Felled By Sin Can Be Set Apart Counselled Healed Back Into Communion AFTER In Willingness Showing Brokenness AND Being Submissive To The High And Holy Power She Admits Her Sin Afflicts Her Soul AND Repents Of The Wrong-Doing Casting Herself On The Mercy Of The Eternal Faithful One God Accepting The Just Chastisement AND Wills To Be As One Faithful Herself Bowing Down And Worshiping Praying Praising Believing Loving Trusting Working Watching And Waiting Hopeful ... Of The Promised Restoration AND Looking For The Priest The High Priest Of Our Profession To Come And Pronounce Her Clean AND Restore Her To The Dominion! What Peace! What Glorious Peace Compliments Of The Savior The Living Holy God! Know Ye Not That ... Presumptuous Sin Is A Parasite Which, Encouraged Will Lead To Sure Death Death As Ordained Once To All Man AND Death Designated Second To Be Avoided At All Costs By Choosing To Follow The Ways The Laws Of The Holy God AND Never The Lawlessness The Wiles Of The Known Fraud! Please Do Not Let Self Sell You Polished Brass For Bright Gold! Outside The Camp Of God Is Wilderness The Dominion Of Darkness The Camp Of The Destroyer The Place Of Serpents Scorpions Raptors Scavengers Bitter Water Idolatry Death Destruction Nothing Holy! Outside The Camp Of God Is The Camp Of The Lost Cause!
Got Leprosy?!
Are Scabs On The Body Showing?!
Call Christ Jesus
The Great Physician He
The One Holy
The One Only
Who Sacrificially Died
To Save Thee
On Mount Calvary!
Did You Know:
A Group Of Vultures Is A Committee!
A Flying Flock Of Vultures Is A Kettle!
Vultures Feeding On A Carcass Is A Wake!
Do The Math!
**--**--**--**
Satan And The Legion Of Doom
In Committee
Plot Your Demise
And
Encourage You To Sin
Placing You Squarely In A Kettle
Obviously Filled With Hot Water
Marinating Covert Overt Lies!
When You Are Being Severely Punished - As Is To Be Expected -
For Your Own Sin
And
Probably Dying
And
In A Lost Condition
Eventually Dead
Those Beings That Soon Won't Be
Conduct A "Happy" Wake
Lauding You As Their Prize
For Having Fallen Into The Trap
Of
The Wily Fraud And
God-Fake
Satan The Snake!
Wise Up, People!
Soul Salvation Is At Stake!
Get On The Gospel Train
AND
Avoid The Fire And Brimstone Lake!
Leave Satan And His Kind
To Their Scheduled Date
With The Burning Lake! PRAYER: Father, I Desire Health! I Desire Cure! I Desire Your Blessing And To Receive All That You Have For The Faithful! All That You Have In Heaven's Store! Lord, I Humble Myself Before You I Bow, Now So That I Will Not Break Later! I Choose - Of My Own Free Will - To Obey You And To Live To You, True! Forgive Me My Trespasses! Forgive Me My Sin! Bless Me With All Blessing And Correcting Me When I Go Straying! Bless Me To Do Your Will! Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight! Grant Unto Me Your Favor, Lord The Grace That Will Give To Me Daily Your Holy Light! Remember Our Brethren Those In Other Congregations Other Families Other Flocks Those In Other Lands Those Who Will To Know Christ Those Who Find Your Love A Delight! Lead Us, Lord Into All Truth! Grant Unto Us Blessed Peace And Sweet Rest Even Though In This Life We Do Struggle Even Though In A Crucible We Take Sleep And Achieve That Which Is - To Carnal Man - Not Dignified Rest! You, Lord Are Our Portion! You, Lord Are Our Hope! You, Lord, Are Our Sovereign And In Jesus Christ's Name We Shall Our Lives To You Devote! Hear Our Prayers, Lord And Have Mercy And Bless For We Ask All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! We Love You, Lord! AMEN.

My Shepherd

The Lord Most High
The Shepherd Of Rest In Whom Is No Lie The Master Of The Winds The Waves
The Sea The God Of My Salvation The God-Man Who Left Heaven AND Lived In Time To Save A Wretch A Sinner Like Me Like Thee!
I Am A Child Of The Eternal God Because I Have
Chosen
To Forsake The Ways Of The Fraud Because
My Teacher, My Guide The Spirit Of God Who In Me Now Does Abide Called Me Out Of Darkness AND Into Holy God's Marvelous Light Having Convicted Me Of My Sin Having Convinced Me
Known Sin
To Confess
AND To Repent Of The Pass AND To Forsake The Unholy Way Having Converted Me To Truth
AND Unto Walking On The Straight And Narrow Way!
He Is The Same Spirit Of God
Who Shows Me The Lord Of Love Who Loves Me Sacrificially AND Encourages Me Daily Moment By Moment To Love The Lord Knowledgeably Knowingly Self-Sacrificially Completely Faith Working Actively Never Complacently Ever Truthfully Never Conveniently AND To Live In The Light Of Life AND Never To Find Life In Gross Darkness A Delight!
The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Are My Influencers For Good My Protection
As I Walk Towards The City Of God Staying On The Straight And Narrow Way!
They Can't Force Me To Do Good! They Can't Stop Me From Doing Wrong BUT They Will Influence Me Towards
The Good The Blessed The Best BECAUSE I Have Given To Jesus Christ The Lord
- My Lord - My Will And My Way AND THEY- The Workers With A Blessed
Vested
Interested In My Salvation - Labor Faithfully To Help Me To Stay Shielded Hedged In By Truth Protected From Error On The King's Highway!
The Glorious Lord
Is
My Light

The Lord Is My Portion!
The Blessing of The Lord Makes Me Rich Adds No Sorrow Makes Me Free Gives Me Sight Takes Away Sin's Blight AND ISTo My Soul
A Constant Delight!
In Jesus Christ I Am Safe! I Live Though I Die! I Sing Though I Cry! I Rest Even If I Can't Sleep! I Am Blessed Though I'm By Man Cursed! I Run The Race For Life Even If I Can't Walk Through Life I Stand In Truth Even If I Were Bed-Bound I Live In Light Though Darkness Surrounds! I Am Safe In Christ Jesus!
In Jesus Christ I Am As A Tree Planted By The Water! My Leaves Shall Not Wither AND I Shall Bear Good Fruit In Season AND All That I Do According To The Will Of The Great I AM Shall Prosper Because He Is Not A Man
Through All The Changing Scenes Of My Life There Has Been One Constant AND
- Against The Truth -
I Cannot Tell The Lie!
Through Cock-Ups
Carelessness Wilfullness
Outright Sinfulness Sorrow Grief Joy Gladness Peace War Sickness And Health Want And Abundance Jesus Christ The Righteous - My Savior, My Lord And My God - Has Ever Always Been There!
Jesus Christ Cares!
I Know Jesus Christ Cares Because
He Cares For Me!
I Took Jesus' Love For Granted AND
Such A Thing Should Never Be!
The Faithful God So Constant So Giving So Blessing So True Is The One I Call Master AND You Should Call Him That Too!!
He Sees! He Hears! He Knows My Fears! I Know I Can Trust Him AND That Is The Thing One Thing About Me That Satan. Most. Fears!
I Was Young
AND Now I Am Old AND With Sin I No Longer Play Bold!
My Head Was Hot! My Heart Was Cold AND I Thought Nothing Of Running With The Goat Herd!
I Did Things My Way
AND I Almost Paid The Cost Of Living Price BUT Almighty God Is Faithful AND I Have The Promised New Life In Christ!
Tomorrow Is Not Promised! Today ... To Me ... Is Free So I Thread Through Life Softly AND Repair Often To The Man Who Conquered Death On A Cruel Tree On Mount Calvary!
I ... By My Own Sin
Put Jesus Christ There! Of The Price Of Sin, I Have A Fair Share BUT I Am Committed To Not Letting His Suffering - In My Case - Leave In The Glorious Kingdom An "Empty Chair!"
Salvation Came Down AND Bought Pardon For Me AND IConvinced Convicted Converted Accept The Royal Heavenly Blessing
Almighty God's Goodness Almighty God's Glory AND Almighty God's Character Are One And The Same AND We Who Are Christ's Followers Should Never The Worthy Name Profane!
Almighty God's Name Is Glorious! Almighty God's Character Is Good! Almighty God's Goodness Is Eternal
AND It Cannot Be Withstood AND All Who Shall Behold Him With Uncovered Eyes Will Have Acquired His Image
Renewed Before Jesus Christ Breaches The Eastern Skies!
Brethren, BelovedYou Who Love
Honor Worship
Obey
Work With AND Praise The Holy God Let Not The Damned Deceiver Encourage You To Believe That Giving Glory To The Living God Is Actually A Fraud!
Man Is A Flower Attached To The Grass AND When The Sun ... In Force Shines Upon It It Does Not Long Last BUT The Man Who Takes Jesus Christ
The Son Of God
For The Shepherd The Shielding Hand Over The Cleft In The Rock The Strong Tower Of Shelter Shall Not Perish Like As Those In The Wild Goat Flock Who Deny The Sovereignty Of The Savior The Power Of The God Of Peace The Wisdom Of The God Of The Ages The Host Of The Bride Groom's Wedding Feast!
Ask Of The All-Knowing Lord ... Wisdom Accept From The Blessing Lord ... Grace Take From The Sustaining Lord ... The Share Of Daily Faith
