To Take Our Much Anticipated Flight! 

AMEN.

Fearless And Shameless!

Hyper Critical
Sudden Lee
Knoet All
AND
Simme Here
Were Into Everything
Everywhere
No Matter
The Date The Time
The Place The Matter!
They Ever Always Enjoy
A Lovely, Lovely, Natter!
... At Someone Else's Expense!

Hyper Critical
Sudden Lee
Knoet All
AND
Simme Here
- If It Were Possible -
Would Criticize Even
The God Of Heaven
AND
Have Even Criticized The Dead
For How In A Casket
The Undertaker Placed That's Person's Head!

Not One Single Thing
Could This Bass Soprano Alto Tenor Trio
Ever See As Good
No Matter Who It Is
That Is Doing It!

Wait A Minute!
Soprano Alto Tenor Bass -
That's A Quartet!
But You Say It Is A Trio!
How, Pray Tell
Is THAT Possible?!

Simple, My Brother!
Whenever The Music Starts
Sudden Lee Hyper Critical
Sings The Solo!

Man, You Talking Bare Ignorance!

Yes!

Excuse Me?!

Silly Rabbit ...
When Sudden Lee AND Hyper Critical
Are In The Midst Of Anything
You Cannot Tell Them Apart
Because They Merrrrrge Into Each Other
Becoming One Voice
AND
Wreak Havoc Upon Whomever
Is The Target Of Their Tender Mercies!

With Those Two
There Is No Preamble!
They Do A Join And Jump
AND
Simme Here
AND
Knoet All
Fill In The Chorus!

You Better Explain Yourself!

Sudden Lee
Has A Part
- An Upfront Part -
In Every Story!
Simme Here Likes To Be Seen
As Her Glorious Plumage Unfurls!

- She Is A Peahen  In Peacock Plumage - 
Knoet All Has The Pointy Stick
AND
Hyper Critical Twirls
EveryWhichWay
With His Technicolor Baton!

These Musically Inharmoniously-Jubilant Racketeers
Make Music
At The Will Of The Fraud
AND
When They Are Done Performing
You Can Be Sure
Someone Will Feel
That They Have Been Rolling Around
In The Stomach
Of A Mangy Dog!

Kinda Graphic Don'tcha Think?!

It Is What It Is!

Look ...

I Shall Be Plain:

People Who Like To Be Seen
AND
People Who Like To Be Heard
Have No Problem Creating Fictions
So That They May Preach
The Sermon Of The Day
AND
People Who Know Everything
AND
People Who Like To Be At Every Dog Fight
Have No Problem
Setting UP Somebody Anybody
For The Flavor-Of-The-Month-Dog
Out Of Them
To Take A Big, Big, Bite!

This Little Group Of Hell Hounds
Fear Not God Nor Man
AND
If Doing You A Damage
Gets Them A Jolly
From Turning Your Life
Into Cole Slaw Cabbage
Believe It
You Are Going To Get Ravaged
AND
Savaged!

One Of The Worst Things
About These Felons
Is That They Answer
Before The Question Is Asked
AND
It Is Because Of This "Delicate Attribute"
That Many Lives Are Embittered
AND
Unnecessary Suits Enjoined!

Problem Is
They Who Create The Problems
Are Never Around To Fix
What They Break!

You're Right!

They Take The Cake! 

They're Honest-To-Goodness Fakes!

I'm Hungry!

You Got Any Bakes?!

INSTANT SANCTIFICATION?!

There Is No Such Thing As Instant Sanctification!
Sanctification Is A Work That Continues
As Long As Life Shall Last!
It Does Not Consist Of Strong Emotion
Nor Is It Proved 

- Nor Disproved -
By Whether We Laugh Or Cry!

Many Walk Around Crying:

The Lord!

The Lord Wholly Sanctified Me! 

We Walk And We Talk

And I ...

I Am Wholly Holy!

BUT ...

They Live Like Devils
Spreading A Miasma All Around
Setting On Edge The Teeth Of Those 

Trying
Trying Trying
Not To Cause God 

At Them Frown!

Why Do They Do It?!
What Are They Trying To Prove?!
Who Are They Impressing?!
Don't They Realize That They Have Much To Lose?!

Don't They Honestly Read The Good Book?
Do They Not Grasp The Word ...

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation
With Fear And Trembling!

Work For Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work!

Faith Without Work Is ... Dead!

Christ Is Coming To Reward Every Man According To His ... Work!

Man Is Sanctified By God's Truth!
Faith Comes By Hearing!?

The Word Of God
ISThe Word Of Truth
AND
If The Word Of Truth In Us Works
Should Not We Cooperate With The Working Word
Via The Working Of The Holy Spirit
By Working To Change Bad Character Traits
Into Christ-Like Traits
So That He Who Started The Good Work In Us
May Finish It
In The Day Of God Almighty?!

The Narrow Way To Sure Salvation
For
Whosoever Will
Is
Paved With Sweat Equity
Binding
The Bricks Of Believing Effort
Into 

The Groove Of Steadfast Faith
Aided 

By Unwavering Trust
Cheered 

By True Repentance And Complete Confession
Hoisted 

By Free Mercy
On 

The Back Of Available Grace
Holding 

Complete Forgiveness!

There Are No Slackers Aka Loafers
Admitted Into Heaven

- On A Free Pass -

Just Because They
- As Fools -
Thought It Too Much Work

To Much Trouble
To Lift Up The Spoon Full Of Truth 

To Their Own Mouth
To Stave Off Soul Starvation!

There Will Be None In Heaven
Who Did Not Tend The Good Seed Sown In Them
AND
Patiently Labor
In The Wait Time
For
A Bountiful Harvest!

How Is

Your Sanctification

Being Worked Out?!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : The Maker Of ... Me! + PRAYER: I Desire To Live With You, Lord!

The Maker Of... Me
Said In His Love Letter To Me

"Follow Me!"

He Also Said To Me ...

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
Call On Me And I Will Answer Thee
And Show Thee Great Things That Thou Knowest Not!
Followed By
Come Unto Me And Rest!
AND
Believe And Live!
For
Sin Is A Reproach To Any People!

The Kicker Was:

Confess Your Sin And Repent!

He Did Not Suggest It!
He Clearly Said ...

God Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Me My Sin
And To Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!

He Beseeched Me 
To Trust God
AND PLAINLY SAID
God's Grace Is Sufficient For Me!

I Heard ...

Hope Thou In God
AND
Get Understanding
AND
Remember That
Wisdom Is The Principal Thing!

He Said:

Fear God
And Keep His Commandments
For It Is My - Man's - Duty
AND KNOW
God Will Bring Every Work Into Judgment
Even The Things I Hide
Be They Good Or Evil!

He Urged Me, Saying ...

Do Not Follow The Multitude To Do Evil!
Cast Your Every Care On God!
My Redeemer Lives!
AND
God Be Praised

The Lord Liveth To Make Intercession For Me!

The Lord, Himself, Says ...

Don't Walk In Your Own Understanding
Walk By Faith Not Sight
Let No One Steal Your Crown
Weeping Lasts For A Night
Joy Comes In The Morning
Choose You This Day Which God You Will Serve
AND EMPHASISES THAT
Those Who Serve False Gods Are Like Unto Them!

The Maker Of ... Me
In His Love Letter To Me
Asked:

Is There Anything Too Hard For Me?"

In Response To This
I Pray And Say
Unto The Maker
My Maker
The Lord
My God:

PRAYER:

Lord,

Have Mercy On Me!

Help Thou My Unbelief!

I Was A Child!

I Did Childish Things!

I Am Growing Up!

Help Me To Put Away Childish Things!

Help Me To Honor You, Lord

Love You

 Trust You And Obey!

Help Me, Lord

To Live In Your Love

Above The Frustrations

Frets

Upsets

Sorrows And Sadness

Wants And Worries

Needs And Necessities

Cares And Concerns

Because You Have Said

I Will Never Leave You

Nor

Forsake You!

Father,

You Have Also Said

In The Letter Of Love

That If I Am In Hell

There Will You Be With Me

That There Is No Place That I Can Go

Absent Your Spirit

That You Know All

That You See All

That You Are In All

That You Count The Hairs On My Head

That You Knew Me

Before I Was Made Perfect

That You Know My Name

That You Feel My Pain

That I Am Blessed

By Not Walking

In The Counsel Of The Ungodly

That I Am Blessed When I Mourn

For I Shall Be Comforted

That I Should Do Good

And

Good Shall Attend Me

That I Should Not Cast Away

My Confidence In Christ

Which Has Great Recompense Of Reward

That You Are Preparing A Place For Me

That You Are Coming Again For ... Me

That Your Gift To Me

Is

Eternal Life

That You Give Peace

That Passes

Human Understanding

That Your Grace Is Marvellous

That Angels Are Watching Over Me

That If I Wait On You, Lord

That I Shall Mount Up With Wings As Eagles

That I Shall Run And Not Be Weary

That I Shall Walk And Not Faint!

You Have Promised, Lord

That In The Hour Of My Trial

That My Jesus Will Plead For Me!

You Have Promised Me, Lord

Faith And Grace

According To My Need

For The Day!

You Have Promised Me, Lord

That For My Fidelity

To The Holy God

That My Bread And Water

Are Sure!

Father,

You Are God!

You Keep Your Promises!

I Am A Mere Man

A Child Of The Dust!

When You Feed Me I Live!

If You Take Away My Breath

It Is Sure That I Shall Die

BUT, NOW,

Lord,

I Am Alive

In Need

Praying!

Pleading

Please Pity Me!

Help Me To Love You!

Help Me To Love Your Word!

Help Me To Seek Your Face

To Get Out

From Amongst The Disobedient

That Tribe Called Goat Herd!

Help Me To Live As An Obedient Sheep!

Help Me, Lord

To ... In Humility

Cast My Self And My Problems

With Finality

At Your Precious Feet!

Lord,

Let Not My Soul Be Cast Down!

Let Not My Soul

Be Dispirited Within Me

For I Hope In God

Who Is My Strength

And

My Salvation!

Father,

Teach Me Your Ways

And

Help Me To Walk In Them!

Let Your Word Be My Lamp

And

Let It Light My Path!

Let My Path Lead to Zion

The City Of The Eternal

- My God -

Where I

With All The Saints

- My Brethren -

Shall Partake

The Great Reward!

Lord,

I Love You!

I Desire To Live

According To Your Sovereign Will -

Please Make It So

So That I May See My Jesus

As Conquering King

And

In Joyous Peace!

Forgive Me Of My Sin Today!

Forgive Me For It Is To The Holy God I Pray!

Forgive Me E'er I Crucify My Jesus Afresh

And

Help Me Not To Use

The Feigned Excuse

That I Am But Flesh!

Keep Me Faithful, Father

For I Acknowledge That

Christ Is My Portion Forever! 

Harken To My Call

And Do For Me

All That The Holy God Will Do

For His Believing

And

Determined To Be Faithful Child!

In Jesus' Holy Name

I Humbly Plead!

AMEN.

It Is A Blessing + PRAYER: Lord, Keep Us Faithful!

It is A Blessing
To Serve The God Faithful 

Who Is
The Rock
The Shepherd
The Hope
The Help
Our Surety
Our Security
Our Peace
Our Rest
Our Shelter
Our Shepherd
Our Salvation
Our Redeemer
The One By Whom
AND
In Whom
We Are Eternally Blessed!

Oh, Soul
Be Not Weary In Well-Doing
For
He Who Blesses The Poor With Kindness
Has The Lord For A Debtor
AND
It Is Must Be Stated Here
That God Pays His Debts!
There Is No Payer Better!

Brother! Sister!
Lift Up Your Head
AND
Look Up!
The Lord Of Life
Our Glory
Our Light
Is Calling!

The Day Comes Which Shall Never
Know Night!

Look Not 

At What Your Lying Human Eye Doth See!
Let Your Real Eye Be That 

That Is Your Certain Hope
In The Eternal God
Who Inhabits Eternity!

His Word Is TRUE!
He Is The TRUTH
AND
He Is The One
- The Only One -
Who Grants Immortality
Who WILL Give 

Unto Surrendered Saved Man
The Dew Of Eternal Youth!

PRAYER:

Lord,

Remember In Mercy 

The Humble

The Halt

The Hungry

The Hopeless

The Helpless

The Hurt

The For-Faith Hindered

And

Pity Those Who 

Hindsight Has Not Yet Taught Wisdom

To Reflect On Shortcomings

Mistakes

Steps Aside Ignoring Truth

And

Open Their Eyes

To Behold The Beauty 

And 

Know The Love Limitless

That Comes Of Trusting

The One God

Who

Is The True Friend

With

Blessedly Real Benefits!

Raise Us Up, Lord

To Lift Up The Worthy Name

And

Help Us To Do The Right

And

Not That Worthy Name Profane 

As We Walk In The Light Of Life

To A Personal Place 

In Heaven 

To Lay Claim!

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name

We Plead

Keep Us Faithful! 

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Righteous Marching: Great Day!

My Lord Christ 
Left Heaven
To Come To Earth
To Teach
To Feed
To Heal
To Bless
AND
To Save Me
- And My Kind -
SO
My Fitting Response
As One Desiring To Be Called
"Child Of God!"
IS
To Thrive Under The Teaching
By Becoming A Good Student
AND
An Obedient Servant
Eating The Good Food By The Son Of God Blessed
Recognizing My Need In My Sin-Sickness
AND
Reporting To Him To Be Healed

Bowing My Heart In Gratitude
AND
Accepting Into My Soul 
The Blessing
AND
Crying Out For Salvation
By Turning Away From Sin
To Bless God For His Sacrifice
That Saves Me
That Lifts Me Out Of The Grave
AND
Transports Me To Heaven
In Faith Now
AND
In Fact Later
On The Great Day!

There Is Much To Do
AND
It Is All Real!

Oh, Lord, Haste The Day
When I Shall
With My Brethren, Say:

Hallelujah!

What A Savior!

Matchless Gift Of Calvary

I Am Thine!

The Day IS Forever!

Thank You For The Love Gift

That To Heaven
My Soul

Now Uplifts!

I Was Weary

Wandering Lost

Unable To Pay

The Impossible Cost

When I Heard You Call

In Entreaty

And

I Believed Your Blessed Word

That At Calvary

Sin Suffered The Irrevocable Loss!

I Am Blessed!

My Soul Is Blessed!

Glorious Savior!

God Divine!

Lord, I Love You!

I Bless You!

I Worship You!

And

I Shall Do So Forever

In Paradise Regained

That Through Sin

Had Been Lost!

Brethren,

The Lord Of Life Died
To Give Life To The Dead
So That The Dead May Live Life
With The Lord Of Life
Who Was Dead
BUT
Is Alive
Forevermore!

Light 

Descended Into Darkness
To Lighten The Darkness With Light!

Darkness Responded
By Killing The Light Of Life
Which Rendered The Light Gloriously Bright
Unable To Be Ever Extinguished!
Light To This Day Is Shining
Forever Ablaze!

Salvation 

In Pitying Love Came Down!
Damnation
Ever Wanting To Be Fed
In Hateful Indignation Rose Up
Because Confession 

AND

Repentance For Sin
In Response
Were Before The Lord Laid! 

Forgiveness 

Opened The Life Book
AND
The King Of Life
By Mercy
AND

For Grace
Did A Grace-Note
For The Repentant
Did Make
Providing Sure Escape
From The Fire And Brimstone Lake! 

In This
Sin Is Defeated!
The Blessing Of God's Love Is Repeated
AND
The Scapegoat
In A Judas Coat
Is In Outer Darkness
For How He 

Man Treated
AND
At The Day Of Second Death
The Final Judgment
His Destruction Total
Shall Be Completed!

Sin 

Shall Never Rise Again
Neither Sorrow Death Nor Tears!
Hope Is Realized!
Chains Of Love Are Displayed!
Blessed Assurance Is Glorious Rest!
Life Is Life Eternal!
The Goodness Of God
Is
On Every Face
AND
It Can Never, Ever

Be Effaced!

Hold On!

Don't Let Go!

Redemption ... Is On The Way!
The Glorious Celebration
Will Be On
The Great Day
For Which
- With His Precious Life -
Jesus Christ
Our Only Savior
Only Mediator
Only Hope
Our Help
Did 
- For Us -
Pay!
