A Few Things!

Some Thing
Any Thing
Nothing
Good Thing
Bad Thing 
Every Thing
Fling D. Thing
Sing D. Thing
Ring D. Thing
AND
Wing D. Thing
Make Up A Segment Of The Grand Things Family!
The List Of Things Is Endess
AND
Their Lust For Trivial Things Is
Mind-boggling!

We Should Note That
Just Like Every Other Family
There Is
A Doctor
Who Believes He Can Mend Every Thing!
A Dentist
Who Loves To Dig Drill And Fill In Some Things!
A Priest 
Who Is Always Available To Hear Confessed Things!
A Psychiatrist 
Who Can Analyze All Things!
A Mommy 
Who Is Ever Ready To Show That 
She Equally Cares For All Things!
A Daddy 
Who Is The Boss
And Who Fires Shots At Misbehaving Things!
An Uncle Wingnut Thing
AND
An Aunty Tender Thing 
Who Is The Favored Friend To All 
And Every Thing She Can In Her Eyes See!

Would You Get To Your Point, Pretty Please?!

Well ...

Rancid Thing
Butt Up On Praying Thing
AND
What Rancid Thought
He Could Notch Up To A Fling Thing
Turned
Into A Very Serious Thing!

You Don't Say!
How Serious Was This Thing?!

Well, Let Me Tell You
That That Serious Thing
Became A Vital Thing
Became A Gargantuan Thing
That Ended In A Marriage
BUT
They Don't Wear Rings!

Rancid Thing Got Converted
AND
He Became A Refined Thing
A Reformed Thing
AND
Between Reformed
AND
Praying
They Petitioned God
About
Eternal Things
Casting Aside
Useless Things
Forbidden Things
Carnal Things
Selfish Things
AND
Finite Things
Preferring To Walk Tall
Straight And True
Humble Before The Master
Sharing Spiritual Things
With Me And You!

Powerful Things Happened, I See!

Amazingly
All Their Ordinary Skills
Proved Extraordinarily Useful Things
Which Quickly Produced Exquisitely Simple Things
Elegant Things
Soft Things
AND
Gentle Things
Which Caused Even Grumpy Things To Sing!
It Was Amazing And Beautiful Time
For All Things!

Ahem!
What Is The Purpose Of This Thing, Ms. Thing!

Just Testing Out
A Thing Or Two
To See If It Will Become Something Useful
If Not To Me
Perhaps To You!

Oh ... 
You Wanted To Say Some Thing
To Some Body
To See If Any Body
Would Holler Back At You!

Who Knows!
Maybe!
Perhaps!
Possibly!
Some Thing Like That!

Don't You Dare Start Thinging Again!

A Necessary Thing To Me

Is Prayer!

A Vital Thing To Me

Is The Gospel Of Jesus Christ To Share!

A Compassionate Thing To Me

Is To - In Truth - Share The Salvation Story!

AND

The Best Thing Of All 

Is To Say

That Man Can Share God's Glory

Which Is An Unfathomably Glorious Thing!

The Principle Pleasure

At The Age Of My Majority
I Started Walking Toward The By-Pass Bus!
The Elders Weren't Too Happy
AND
Of Course
Started To Kick Up A Fuss
BUT
I Was My Own Person!
I Could See My Own Way
AND
Nobody Was Going To Tell Me
How
In This World
I Was Going To Play!

My Majority To Me
Meant
My Own Authority!
I Was Intent Upon Getting Away From The Don't Can'ts
Even If It Meant
Ending Up In A Nest Of Ants!

Well ...

As Life Would Have It
In The Instant I Said:

"I Wish ...!"

There Was A Whole Bunch Of Predators
Waiting
To Eat Me
Like A Dish Of Well-seasoned Baked Fish!

One Offered Pleasure!
One Offered Pleasure Through Pain!
One Offered Pleasure Pain To Get Enormous Gain!
One Offered Pleasure Pain Gain
AND
Enormous Acclaim
BUT
None Offered Me A Way
To Get Out From Under Sins' Stains
FOR
In Order To Get The Benefits
Of A Life Filled With
"Do As I Please!"
Meant
I'd Have To Sell My Soul
To Gain
What I Could Plainly See Was
Nothing But
Perishable Gold!

I Had Received From My Parents
A Foundation
Built On The Rock
AND
Because Of That Blessing
I Didn't Run Too Far From God's Flock!

I Made Terrible Mistakes!
I Made A Fool Out Of My Self
BUT
I Always Knew How To Say
"No!"
When It Came To Make The Decision
That Would Make Me A Pretty Dead!

I Was Oft Unfaithful To God
BUT
All The While
He Is Faithful To Me
AND
I Kept Hearing That Voice
Saying:

"Child, Come! 

Come Home To Me!"

I Couldn't Out-run It!
I Couldn't Buy It Off!

So ...

One Day I Said Plainly:

"Please Get Me Off Of This Path."

AND ...

The Faithful Father
Took Me At My Word!
He Drew Me
AND
He Wooed Me
Showing
How Wrong Ways Can Be Reversed!

I Took The Word Of The Master
For He Is Saving Me From Eternal Disaster!
I Have Bumps Marks Scrapes
I Even Wear Wound Plaster
BUT
I Am Free
To Be
What The Lord
Needs Me To Be
AND
Come High Bidder
On Low Ways
By God's Grace
I Quote A Very Nice

This Is What My God Says:

***************

Life May Be Good

BUT

Jesus Christ Will Make It Better

AND

In The Glorious Day

We Shall See True Life

At God's Declared Best!!

Wait For It!

The Works and Workings of Almighty God

GOD IS NOT A MAN!

Sooo ....

Let's Get Our Minds Around That Fact

AND

Save Our Souls Absolute Distress

For Believing That God Is As Our Selves!

God Cannot Die!
God Cannot Lie
AND
Even Tough It Is Bandied About in The Din
God Cannot - God Will Not 
Save Us While We Continue Reveling In Our Sin!

God Does Not Joke
So God Can't Prank You!
So, Please Make A Note
God Does Not Need Our Up-Vote!

God Cannot Undo The Past!
God Cannot Not Punish Sin!
God Cannot Change

AND

God Has No Love for That Destructive Work That He Calls Strange!

God Loves The Sinner!
God Hates Sin!
God Welcomes All Who Will
Come to Him Their Known Sin Confessing!

God Hears Our Prayers!
God Answers Our Prayers Because 
He For Us Cares
BUT
God Has Nothing For
The Double-minded Man
Who Doesn't Know Whether He Is Going or Coming!

God The Father
God The Son
God The Holy Spirit
Three Distinct Operating Beings
Which Agree As One!
We Creatures Cannot Pit Each Against the Other
As We Do Our Parents Here on Earth
For 
All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
They Are
AND
They have No Gear Called 
Back-back
Turn Around
Change Position
Nor
Reverse!

God IS Love!
God Has No Kid Gloves!
God Reigns In Earth 
AND 
In Glory!
His Footstool Is Earth
AND
His Throne Is In Glory!

God Is Calling You!
God Is Calling Me, Too!
God Will Not Scream!
God Will Speak Quietly
AND
Even Appear To Us In Our Dreams
BUT
Know With All Confidence
That When We Deny The Liar
AND
Give Up The Life of Dirt
God Will Wash Away The Past
God Will Make Us Anew
God Will Help Us To Endure 
Until This Life Shall End
AND
At The Last Trumpet
God Will Raise Us Up Immortal
To Enter Redeemed
In Through Heaven's Glorious Pearly Gate Portals!

God Cries!
God Gives Good Gifts!
God Heals!
God Feels
BUT
God Cannot Steal
FOR
All That He Surveys IS His
AND
If He Were Hungry
He Would Not Tell Us
For We Surely Have Not The Wherewithal To Him Feed!

God Made Us All
AND
He Gives To Us All
A Portion of His Blessings!
We All Know The Who
BUT
We Will Never Know
The What
The When
The Where
The Why
NOR
The How
Of Almighty God's Provision
NOR
What Is Enough
NOR
What Is Sufficient
BUT
We Know With A Certainty
That There Is No Being Who Can Order God
To Become More - Or Less - Efficient
For There Is No One
Who Can Say To God:

"Know What, For A God
You Are Gross
AND
Your Methods Are Grossly Deficient!"

God 

IS

Sufficient 

Unto Himself!

ACCEPT THIS

and

PROSPER

in

HIS LOVE and CARE!!
