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!
Are You Expecting Visitors!?! No! Why Do You Ask!?! I Ask Because You Keep Looking At The Telephone And Running To The Door And You Keep Jumping At Every Noise! Really!?! Yes, Really! Oh, Okay! I Didn't Realize That That Is What I've Been Doing! If You Say So But You Seem Very Distracted Even Anxious! Oh, Ferris! You Don't Know The Half Of It! So, Are You Going To Tell Me What's Happening!?! And Does It Have Anything To Do With This Hyper-Vigilance That You Are Telescoping!?! Yes, Yes, Yes! I Am So Uneasy To The Point Of Being Afraid! Afraid Of What!?! Him! Him, Who!?! You Know ... HIM! Girl, You're Speaking In Parables! Speak Plainly So That I May Understand! I Don't Want To Say His Name! He's Always Listening! He's Like An Ever-Ready Battery! A Timex Watch!
Can You Spell His Name Instead!?! I Don't Knooow ...! Come On Already! Who Is This "Him!?!" T E M P T A T I O N! Temptation!?! I Told You Not To Say That Name!! He's Always Ready And Able To Jump You When You Least Expect It! And!?! How Do You Mean "And!?!" That Person Is Evil, Evil, Evil! He Takes Away Your Will! He Makes You Walk On Disobedience Way! He Forces You To Go Against Conscience! He Corrals You Into Working With King Fraud! He Encourages You To Disobey The Living God! S M H!! Whaaat!?! S M H! I'm Shaking My Head! Why!?! What For!?! At Who!?! I'm Shaking My Head At You Because You're A Silly Goose Who Seems To Have Forgotten That She Is The Child, The Servant, The Student Of Jesus Christ The Lord Who Has Delivered Unto Us The Gift Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth And Given Into Our Hands The Power ...! ... I've Got The Power!?! You've Got The Power To Say "No!" To Temptation So That You Do Not Do "The Thing!" Huh!?! If You Yield To Temptation, Sweetie You Are Committing Sin! If You Walk Away From Temptation Sin Can't Do You One Earthless Thing! Jesus Christ Has Given The Promise That We Shall Have Power To Resist The Salvation Thief To Stand In The Truth And To Live Triumphantly In The Sight Of The Holy, Eternal, Saving, Blessing Good God!
Know The Right ... Looking For Temptation Expecting Temptation Making Provision For Temptation And Yielding To Temptation Always, Always, Leads To Sin! Know Your Enemy ... Sin Comes Compliments Of The Fraud That Very Fraud Called Satan Who Stood Up ... Hopefully Uselessly Foolishly To Try To Unseat Our Creator, Lord And Faithful God!
Oooh, Mama! I'm Feeling Really Silly Now! I Was Really, Really, Afraid And Was Even Feeling Like I Was Wearing A Straight-Jacket That Had Been Cheaply Made! Beloved, Our Jesus Christ Saves! End Of Story! Satan, Sin And Self Have An Appointed Grave! Deny Self And You Deny Sin! Deny Sin And You Deny That Gross Liar Satan! See To It ... Truly That You Deny Lying Satan And Intentionally Lift Up The Living Lord And Make It A Point Of Necessity To Walk With The Holy One ... Always In One Accord! I Seem To Have Gotten Side-Tracked For A Moment!
You Surely Seemed To Have Done So! Thanks For Being Here! I Feel Much Better ... Now! Jesus Christ The Righteous Is My Lord And God! Thank You For The Pep Talk! From Here On In By The Almighty's Available Grace And Ever Free Mercy I Shall Refuse To Let Temptation My Life Constantly Stalk! Amen, Amen, Amen! With Jesus Christ See That You Always Talk! Indeed, And Amen! You're A Good Friend!
It Came As A Total Shock! Worry Was Blind! Not A Momentary Blindness But A You Will Never See This Is Something That Not Even Jesus Christ Can Fix Sickness!
Fact Is ...
To Save The Purchased-With-Innocent-Blood Soul Worry Must Be Killed ... Dead, Done, Finished!
Worry Had Started Life In The Life As The Embryonic Raised Eyebrow
By Associating With
"What If!"
And
"But!"
He Was Transformed Into Doubt!
Don't Doubt This ...
Doubt
Is
Sin Against The Holy God!
Hope Tried To Educate Doubt But There Was A "But!"
But What About ...!?!
But What If I ... !?!
But There Are...!
But It ...!
But He ...!
But She ...!
But They ...!
But Why ...!?!
But When ...!?!
Time Passed And Doubt Grew A Horn First Thin And Straight Then Curly And Fat And Old Satan Patted Him On The Back!
Doubt Had Been Tagged!
This Wasn't Going To Just So ...
So
Trust Joined Hope! Faith Joined Trust And Hope! Truth Joined Faith, Trust And Hope! Grace Joined Truth, Faith, Trust And Hope
And Mercy-Free Loved On Him But Doubt - Being Grossly Deceived - Metamorphosized And - "Lord Preserve Us From The Shame!" - He Emerged In Colorful Array As Worry!
Worry Built Himself A Bunker A Base
A Hunker-Down Hole
Not Suitable For Lovers Of Light
And
Doers Of Good And Right!
It Was Viewed By The Followers Of Christ With Blunt Distaste Because, Because The Master, Himself Had Made It Quite Plain:
Do Not Worry!
I Am Your Help!
Ask The Father In My Name!
You Will Not Be Made Ashamed!
Problem, Problem, Problem ...
Worry Was A Self-Made Man! Worry Knew Everything Better Than Others! Worry Is Of The Seed Of The Goat-Man Clan! Worry Is As The Grain Of Sand In A Clam
And
It Grows Into Something That
The Unregenerated Mind Calls Precious!
Now, That's A Real Sham!
Mercy And Truth Kissed ...
One Day Holy Spirit Of Truth Appeared And He Was Taking No Prisoners!
Mercy Was At Hand!
Holy Spirit Of Truth Revealed Plain Truth! He Shed The Light Of Life Abroad And He Called Worry-Worn Man To Repentance And To Walk With The Lord Of Life In Accord!
As Was To Be Expected ...
A Real Nasty Muh-Cat Yuh-Dog Fight Broke Out And Worry's Curly Horn Was Plucked Out By The Very Root! He Started To Unravel At This State Of Affairs And SoonHe Was Stripped ... Naked!
He Wasn't Even Given The "Dignity" Of A Tie Or A Pair Of Boots!
His Denouement Complete Worry Died
- Dried Up -
In Disgrace And The Detritus Of His Ill-Spent Life Blew Away, Blew Away Just Like Fine Dust In A Gale!
Glory, Glory ...
The Children Of The Patient Holy One Lifted Up Their Voices In Prayer And Praise Glad To Be Rid Of The Thorny One
From Within Their Midst
Who Would Not Bend To Omnipotence Who Would Not Accept Omnipresence Who Would Not Respect Omniscience And Who Rejected The Lovingly Compassionate Nature Of
Balaam And Judas
Were Neither Brothers
Nor Twins
But They Surely Were
For They Are Connected
By The Same Sin!
They Both Knew God!
They Both Had In Their Hand
Great Light
AND
By Greed For Gain
- Spiritual Dishonesty -
They Suffered The Same Fate
- Separation From Life -
By Ignominious Death
AND
Eternal Separation To Come
In The Great Day
Because
Cherished Sin
In Their Hearts In Their Lives
Caused Satan The Arch-Fiend
To Overmaster Them!
They Walked Not Uprightly!
They Worked Not Righteousness!
They Spoke Not Truth In Their Own Hearts
AND
They Did Not The Living God Bless
This Must Be Confessed!
They Did Evil To Their Neighbor!
They Took Reward Against The Innocent!
They Did Not Fear The Eternal God!
They Loved Riches
AND
They Did Not Get Repair Stitches
For Their Bodies Have Long Since
In Their Graves Been Cold!
Old!
They Swore Not To Their Own Hurt!
They Chose To Hurt Others!
They Changed
How They Changed
Choosing Temporal Prosperity
Unto To Which To Cling
Forgetting That
Temporal Life Is Temporary
AND
That Man Cannot Thwart God
AND
Forgetting
That The Wages Of Sin Is Death
That Sin Is Its Own Reward
Compliments Of The Known Fraud!
Balaam ... Known Prophet Of God
Judas ... Known Close Disciple Of The Lord Christ
So Near To God
Yet So Very Far
Had The Bone In Their Hand
BUT
Released It
For The Larger Shadow
Magnified
By The Lens Of Evil
Held
By The Hand Of Satan
Motivated
By Pure Malice
Laid Out
On A Silvered Chalice!
Greed
For Gain
Always Ever Brings Pain
Preceded By Shame
AND
Leaves The Greedy One
Perfectly Slain!
Gain!
Shame!
Pain!
Slain!
Be Ye Warned, Brother And Sisters
Do Not By Greed
The Innocent Disclaim
Nor The Name
Of The God Of Heaven And Earth Profane
For
In So Doing
You Shall Never, Ever, Ever
The Heights Of Heaven Gain
AND
Dear Ones, The Reason That There Are So MANY VERSES In The Bible Regarding Asking For Gifts AND Thanksgiving For Benefits Received Is To Remind Us To Remember Our Manners! Think For Yourself: How Would You Feel About A Child Whose Voice Only Extended To Cover Two Things :
"Give Me ...!"
AND
"I Want ...!"
How Would You Feel About A Child Who Ignores Your Rules AND Directions But ALWAYS Has A Hand In Your Wallet Or Pocket! How Would You Feel About A Child Who Never Humbly Asked For Anything BUT Always Aggressively Presumptuously DEMANDS That You Provide For Him Her BUT Is NEVER Willing To Go On Even The Smallest Errand For You! How Would You Feel About Your Child Who Never Blesses Your Faithful Giving BUT Who Curses You For Not Giving Into Their Very Often Foolish AND Dangerous Wants? How Would You Really Feel About The God Who Gives His Children Only Party Food And Favors BUT Never Life-Sustaining Food? How Would You Honestly Feel About The God Who Would Give A Growing Child A Homestead In Candy Land With The Stipulation That That Child Never Go To Vegetable Village Nor To Wise Water-Ways Nor To Heaven-Sent Glades? Think On This: The Very God Who Desires To Hear Our Humble Prayers AND Petitions IS The Very Same God Who Desires To Hear Our Glorious Praise AND Joyful Words Of Thanksgiving Before When AND After He Blesses Us With The Desires Of Our Hearts! Almighty God Is Also The Same God Who Desires To Hear Us Say: "Thank You, Father!" For His Saving Grace Protecting Us From Making The Biggest Mistakes Of Our Lives By His Withholding That Which Was Not To Our Blessing! When We Request A Favor From A Friend Do We Not Say:
"Thanks ... In Advance!"
Is Not The Living God
Worth Much More
Than This!
Lest We Forget ... In Highest Gratitude We Should Also "Throw In!" A Little Something Extra Each For The Blessings Of:
Food
Shelter
Clothing
Life
Love
Health
Wealth
Friends
Family
Trees
Grass
Air
Sunshine
Rain
Exercise
Peace
Rest
Belief
Blessing
Faith
Living Hope
Hope For Glory
Etc., etc..
Saying "Thank You!" To Our Holy God
AND
Praising Him For His Blessings Toward Us
CANNOT
Diminish Us In Neither
Our Eyes Nor His!
Praise Costs Us Nothing
AND
Blesses Us Mightily
In The Realm Of The Great Unknown!
Heaven's Unspeakable Glories Await!
Let Us Practice Our Praising The Almighty God For His Glorious Bounties To Us
