Yeaning for the Lord's Presence 12/10/2007
Look back and thank God. Look forward and trust God. Look around and serve God. Look within and find God.
I asked God: How do I get the best out of life? God said: Face your past without regrets. Handle your present
with confidence. And prepare for the future without fear! Without God, our week is: Mournday, Tearday, Wasteday,

Mother’s Elbows On My Bed: 11/26/2007
I was but a youth and thoughtless, As all youths are apt to be; Though I had a Christian mother Who had taught me carefully.
There came a time when pleasure Of the world came to allure, And I no more sought the guidance Of her love so good and pure.
Her tender admonitions fell But lightly on my ear, And for the gentle warnings I felt an inward sneer.
But mother would ...

Twas The Month Before Christmas 11/24/2007
Twas the month before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. See the PC Police had taken away, The reason for Christmas, no one could say. The were told by their schools not to sing, About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would
say December 25th is just a "Holiday". Yet the shoppers were ...

A Dog's Soul: 11/23/2007
Every must have a soul Somewhere deep inside Where all his hurts and grievances Are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the good and bad, The wrong way from the right, And where his judgement carefully Is hidden from our sight.
A must have a secret place Where every thought abides, A sort of close acquaintance that He trusts in and confides.

After many, many bedtime stories, Skinned knees, and tears to dry Teddy bears, toy trucks, cute dolls An kites flying way up in the sky

Today: 11/18/2007
I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee
and things that happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past, I
have just the present moments, I must treat it as my last.
I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
and be lost forever, as part of yesterday. I must exercise
compassion, help the fallen to their feet, Be a ...

Just a Simple Soldier: 11/12/2007
He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast
And he sat around the Legion telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he had fought in, and the deeds that he had done
In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, everyone.
And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors, his tales became
a joke, All his buddies listened, for they knew where of he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales ...

One song can spark a moment, One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest, One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship, One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea, One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation, One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness, One laugh will conquer ...

Purpose 11/10/2007
We all have some kind of purpose on this earth, It's not to hurt people or tell them their worth. Everyone was put here with an equal chance, Take a look around you, take a good long glance.
Some were meant to heal, and some to teach, Some are used to build, and some to reach. You may not know your purpose just yet, God will tell you, when he knows you are set.

Nessa 11/5/2007
Like spring time in the winter, She breezes through the room. Her golden hair looking windblown, Like a dandelion in bloom.
As carefree as a bird, She flits about in play, Simple things give her pleasure, Through the longer day.
Many say she's special, She'll charm you with her smile, Or her many different looks, Chattering all the while.
Each day she seems to grow a ...

I'd like to say that I hope some day. Our souls will be as one. God's ways will help us do this, By Jesus Christ His .
For all the pain and sorrow, We've seen through out the years, The laughter you have brought me, It far out weights the tears.
The lessons that we've learned from these, And the answers that we've sought. Have brought us to this point in life, To look at what ...

Although it seems like it's been years, It has been a very short time. But still we've cast away our fears, And begun our uphill climb.
From the first time that our lips first, To the time you read these lines, The feeling then I can't forget, And I still can feel the shine.
So I'd like to say on this very day, That my feelings are so true, With you my heart will always stay, ...

I feel much closer to you now, Than I ever did before, The changes that you've made you see, They seem to have opened up new doors.
Through these doors is a brand new life, One for you and I. Filled with love and happiness, And willingness to try.

The Witch (Alcohol) 11/5/2007
And now that we have ended it, I can't believe it's true. That I will not spending, All my life with you.
I thought He had a plan for us, I thought that's why we met. I guess it was a fantasy, That's over with regret.
The light that shined upon us, That everyone could see, I saw as a reflection, Of how our life could be.

The Devil's Vision: 11/3/2007
The devil once said to his demons below, "Our work is progressing entirely too slow.
The holiness people stand in our way Since they do not believe in the show or the play.
They teach that the carnival, circus and dance, The tavern and honky-tonk with game of chance,
Drinking and smoking, these things are all wrong; The Christians don't mess with the ungodly throng. ...

I want to know, when day is done, That life has been worth living, That I have brought somebody joy Through kind, unselfish giving.

I want to know that come what may I've left some cheer and gladness; I want to feel at close of day I've banished ...

Going Home by Silver12b 10/20/2007
As I walk into the cold crisp air, With cheeks a bright red glow. I think of all my youthful days, How they seem so long ago.
But now that I've been in this world, In all it's horrid mess, I can not wait to hear the trump, So we no longer have to guess.
Then one by one the good will go, And the rest will be left here, To go through what they should have known, Was coming ever ...

He Didn't Like: For The Ladies 10/17/2007
He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard.
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around ...

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; They too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.

Cinder Love (Hybrid Sonnet) 10/13/2007
My heart is feeling deathly chilled tonight- From flames of love, You had me pull away; Yet part of me, for fear, would rather stay To tend and watch its ember's dying light.
My fingers seize the air to feel its heat, Its glowing red a cruel, deceptive sight. Please save me, Lord, from lonesome, algid night! Where can this trembling one find safe retreat?
Where can I turn to ...

A drunk man in an Oldsmobile They said had run the light That caused the six-car pileup On 109 that night.
When broken bodies lay about And blood was everywhere, The sirens screamed out eulogies, For death was in the air.
A mother, trapped inside her car, Was heard above the noise; Her plaintive plea near split the air: Oh, God, please spare my boys!

A Garden Of The Heart 10/10/2007
My mother kept a garden
A garden of the heart
She planted all the good things
That gave my life its start
She turned me to the sunshine
And encouraged me to dream
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem
And when the winds and rain came
She protected me enough
But not too much because she knew ...
