O' Ancient Of Days A Witness Speaks

My new Book will be coming into print very soon.

any questions please contact this site.

Yes I did Ask you, Who is your god?

Who is your god

Who do you worship
Who is your god
Is it Newman Marcus
Could it be rodeo drive

Who fills the empty void
So deep in your soul
Does it deal with happiness
Only a half off sale can Full-fill

Do you pay homage, to the gods of low interests percentage
Do your interests peak when stock markets boom
Do you pray to the temple of wall-street daily
Due your plastic flowers ever lose their bloom

Is your god very demanding?
Does he always expect payment when due
Does your heart flutter wildly
When 90 days same as cash will cause it to

Now answer me honestly
It is important that you do
Will your god forget you, when the banks begin foreclosure,
Will your god of finance be there for you?
　
　
　

Oh, what kind of tree?

Oh, What Kind Of Tree?©

By: Carl Coglianese (Ephraim Calib)

Oh, what kind of tree

Well, we knew it was coming,

But did not now were it would first show its face

Something so very simple

Turned out such a disgrace

Who would have thought?

That such a simple little thing

Would start this Christmas season rolling

Down hill this first season, do you think?

Wake up America

The time is now hear To get off your couch potato bottom

Roll up your sleeves, we got a fight going on here

We cannot use words like Christmas

For this, that it may offend

Perhaps a few thousands of people

Across this Great nation it may not amend

Happy Holidays is the cry now herd out loud

No more Christmas, it is simply not allowed

Welcome generic Holidays is the cry of the day

Better be careful, you might be taken away

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas

Tree Once song across this our land

You all had better be careful my children

This may be the Season they take away our Easter Ham

You have to ask yourself

, is there beginnig to be a change.

are those simple things in life slowly being taken away.

They took the ten Commanments and hide them out of sight.

they want ot take away In God We trust on our money

and now they take away our Christmas tree,

opps Holiday bush.

when will it stop? will it stop?

The hall of Souls-The Guf

The Hall of Souls
The Guf
　
Located in the 7th Heaven
This the place of the unborn soul
This place of rest before it’s Birth
This place called the Hall of Souls

It has been said
That only the Sparrows can see
The souls decent from this 7th heaven
For their songs tell of their birth they can see

Their songs for they are joyous
For they the Sparrows can only see
For this they were born to sing their songs
To announce to the Earth of the souls God has let them see

For this story has been told
From generations from the distant past
For in that one day soon coming
The Guf would be empty, the last soul had passed.

For this is not a warning
Of a tragedy that will come past
For it will be the coming of Christ Jesus
On this day to full fill this the last soul to have passed.

And so it Begins!

And So it Begins

It was an ordinary day
Or so it was thought of at that time
For there would latter be seen
An anomies site in the skies

It had grown quite windy
The ski appearing this unusual greenish brown
Could this have seemed quite normal
Yet with the winds grew a murmur in the watching crowd

It looked as if the very heavens
Had begun to rumble and trickle down
What seemed like hail had started
Yet it was burning when it hit the ground

For at first it was an oddity
Something to make the evening news that day
For then the ground began to rumble
The trees even they began to sway

We have all seen plane trails in the heavens
Cries cross they did often in the skies
But for this time they were different
They appeared like blood trails written in our very own eyes

Then something began to happen
A fear filled the very harts of man
For in the skies above this world it had happened
Appeared this blood colored Cross in the skies, seen in all of lands

What could this mean?
Was it a sign from above
Is this a sign from the Heavens
My God, it appears to be written in blood
　
　
This sign appeared in the heavens
Seen by every soul through out this old world
Then the realization hit all mankind
For this sign in the heavens was indeed for real

As suddenly as this Cross appeared
The skies grew dark and dismayed
For then a cold wind blew around the world
The cross grew light and faded away

Something did indeed happen
For in a few days did a new sign begin
For now The Three days of Darkness came
For this had been prophesied, not that so long ago before the end

Now it is up to you, my children
To find your way and to understand
To search the books of prophecy
To explain these words you have read.
　
　
In this new old age of the internet, please take out the time and look up the prophecy of the Three Days of Darkness. For it is up to you to understand.

The Table Cloth

Subject:

The Table Cloth

To All:Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and Good Health! Beautiful story.... makes you understand that things happen for a Reason. The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.

They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls,painting, etc, and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished. On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church..His heart sank when he saw that the roof hadleaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high.

The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity, so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus. She missed it.

The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman walking down the centeraisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor,"she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to checkthe lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted intoit there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria . The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten "The Tablecloth".

The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria . When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and she never saw her husband or her home again. The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth;but she made the pastor keep it for the church.The pastor insisted on driving her home. Thatwas the least he could do. She lived on the otherside of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.

The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike? He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested andput in a prison. He never saw his wife or his homeagain all the 35 years between. The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the three flights ofstairs to the woman's apartment, knocked onthe door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.

True Story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid who says God does work in mysterious ways.I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always with you. His promises are true, and when we give Him all our cares we know He will see us through. So when the road you're traveling seems difficult at best, just remember I'm here praying and God will do the rest. Pass this on to those you want God to bless and remember to send it back to the one who asked God to bless you first. When there is nothing left but God, that is whenyou find out that God is all you need Take 60seconds and give this a shot!

All you do is simplysay the following small prayer for the person who sent this to you.Father, God, bless all my friends and family in what ever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their lives be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.

This Week's promise

This week's promise: Give your worries to God, for he cares for you
Why worry?
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever."
Psalm 136:1 NLT
The unforgettable responsive reading
"It was midnight on Thursday, February 8, A.D. 356, and Athanasius, a leader in the early Christian church and passionate defender of the deity of Jesus Christ, was leading a worship service. Suddenly loud shouts and clashing armor could be heard outside the church. Soldiers had come to arrest him.But Athanasius said, "I didn't think it right, at such a time, to leave my people," so he continued the service. He asked a deacon to read Psalm 136 and then requested the congregation to respond with the refrain, "His faithful love endures forever," which they did twenty-six times over the din of the soldiers outside.Just as the final verse was completed, the soldiers rushed into the church, brandishing their swords and spears and crowding forward up the nave toward Anthanasius. The people yelled for Athanasius to run, but he refused to go until he had given a benediction. Then some of his assistants gathered tightly around him, and, as he recounts it, "I passed through the crowd of people unseen and escaped, giving thanks to God that I had not betrayed my people, but had seen to their safety before I thought of my own."Athanasius was portraying to his people God's love, which endures forever. He was willing to lay down his life for his flock—just as Jesus had laid down his life for his flock a few centuries earlier.
Since God's "faithful love endures forever," why is they ever any need to worry?adapted from "" with devotionals by William J. Petersen and Randy Petersen (Tyndale) entry for November 8"

“On coming to the house, they saw the child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.” Matthew 2:11

Christmas can change your life! Just as Jesus Christ was born in a stable 2,000 years ago, so He can live in our hearts each and every day when we ask Him in.

Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! When He was born in the city of Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago, He was born to a poor family. The Lord of the universe chose to come to earth in humility and to live as a common person among us. He was born in a stable where animals lived because there was no room for them in the inn. Yet this same Jesus is the magnificent Son of God who will someday return to earth in splendor and glory. After Jesus was born, there were wise men — sometimes known as kings — who came from the east of Bethlehem to worship Jesus.

They were miraculously guided by a star, and came to Jerusalem where they asked, “Where is the One who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” When they were told that it was prophecied that the Ruler would come from Bethlehem, they went there and found Jesus. When they found Jesus, they knelt down and worshipped Him, and gave Him gifts of gold and precious spices. Even today, wise people still seek Jesus. When you seek Him, you will find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. This Christmas, I invite you, just as the wise men did, to worship Jesus. Invite Him to be both your Savior and your Lord. Even the kings of the earth will someday bow down and worship Jesus Christ. Let’s begin today! So, this week, let us pray

· Worship Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord each and every day
· Ask God to bring people from all over the world to come to know Jesus Christ as Savior
· Ask God to bless our staff at Global Media Outreach as we seek to reach more people for Jesus Christ

THANK YOU for your prayers. Just as the wise men gave gifts of gold and precious spices, let us give Jesus Christ our hearts and our lives this Christmas. Jesus Christ is the true meaning of Christmas; let us praise and thank and worship Him together!
May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach
Please pray for the people of Mozambique. Mozambique had over 20 million people and is located in Southeast Africa. The country has suffered from war in the past; please pray for God’s blessing and peace to fall on the country and that everyone in Mozambique would hear about Jesus Christ who came to be the savior for all who would believe in Him.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

From "The Saint Andrew Daily Missal" (1937)

Like the whole liturgy of this season, the purpose of the Mass forthe Fourth Sunday of Advent is to prepare us for the twofold comingof Christ: His coming in mercy at Christmas; and in justice at theend of the world. Allusion is made to the first in the Introit,Gospel, Offertory and Communion, and to the second in the Epistle;while the Collect, Gradual and Alleluia can be applied to either ofthe two.In this mass we meet once again with the three great figures thatare before the mind of the Church throughout Advent, Isaias, St. Johnthe Baptist, and our Lady.

The prophet Isaias foretells of St. Johnthe Baptist that he will be "A voice of one crying in the wilderness:Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths& and all fleshshall see the salvation of God." And "the word of the Lord was madeunto John, the son of Zachary in the desert. And he came into all thecountry about the Jordan, preaching the Baptism of penance for theremission of Sins" (Gospel). "John," St. Gregory explains, "toldthose who hurried in crowds to be baptized: "Ye brood of vipers, whohath told you to flee from the wrath to come?" Now the wrath to comeis the final chastisement, which the sinner will not be able toescape unless he have recourse now to the lamentations of penance.The friend of the Bridegroom warns us to bring forth not fruitsmerely of penance but worthy fruits. These words are a call to eachman's conscience, bidding him lay up by means of penance a treasureof good works, the greater in proportions to the ravage of sin whichcaused it (3rd Noct.). And St. Leo says, "God Himself teaches us bythe Prophet Isaias: I will lead the blind in a way that they knownot, and I will turn the darkness before them into light and I willnot forsake them."The Apostle St. John makes clear to us, the way in which thismystery is fulfilled, when he says, "And we know that the Son of Godis come. And He hath given us understanding that we may know the trueGod and may be in

His true Son" (2nd Noct.). The liturgy continues:Because of the great love that God has manifested toward us He hassent on earth His only begotten Son to be born of the Virgin Mary.Also in the Communion sentence the Church recalls to us the prophecyof Isaias: "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son: and Hisname shall be called Emmanuel." And again, in the Offertory, shecombines in a single salutation the words addressed to our Lady bythe archangel and by St. Elizabeth. St. Gregory writes: Gabriel,whose name means Strength of God, is sent to

Mary, since he comes toannounce the Messias whose will it is, to appear in humiliation andabasement, in order to subdue all the powers of the air. It wasfitting that He should be heralded by Gabriel the 'strength of God' ;He, who was to come as the Lord of Might, the All powerful andUnconquerable in battle, to crush the powers of the air in universaldefeat" (Sermon 35).In the Collect, just as we are reminded of the display of our Lord's"great might" which will take place at the time of His second coming,when as supreme Judge, He will come in the splendour of His divineMajesty to render to each according to His works, so we find anallusion to this same great power manifested in His first coming. Itwas as one clothed in His weak and mortal human nature that our Lordput the Devil to flight.As we think of our Lord as nigh at hand in one or other of His"comings", let us say, with the Church, "Come, Lord Jesus, and tarrynot."--Sincerely in Christ,Our Lady of the Rosary Library"Pray and work for souls"http://olrl.org

This Week's promise

This week's promise: Give your worries to God, for he cares for you
He will not forget
"And why worry about your clothes? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow."
Matthew 6:28 NLT
God knows your name
"A good friend of mine once went to visit his brother during a time of deep crisis. His marriage was struggling, his business was near collapse, and his money was drying up quickly. He had just sold his home and moved into a one-bedroom apartment and had no idea how he was going to dig himself out of his financial and relational problems.My friend listened as his brother confided in him about his deep frustration. "Some days you want to go outside and shake your fist at heaven and say, 'God, why don't you help me?'" his brother said.My friend looked at his brother in the eye and said somberly, "That wouldn't do any good. He doesn't even know who you are." The two looked at each other for several seconds then burst out laughing. The two brothers had spent their lives trusting God and studying his Word, and the absurdity of the statement left them both in stitches. Years later, the brother told my friend that his joke had brought him a great deal of comfort during his trying time. Even more, it gave him renewed perspective.We've all felt abandoned by God at one time or another. God cares deeply when we suffer, and he is right there beside us all the time.At times like these the best thing to do is put your hand in his and trust him with your future. Because he not only knows what you're going through, he knows exactly who you are. from "http://click.newsletters.leftbehindprophecyclub.com/qsnznqtnw_ohnpjpnmgb.html" by Tim LaHaye, Jerry B.

Pastor Mike- Prayer Request

Mike Sanderson sent a message to the members of Real Men for Jesus!Subject:

Prayer needed."Brothers...I ask for prayer for a man in our group who is having a difficult time with his family because of his relationship with the Lord. In a world where so many men are walking away from Christ, he is walking towards Him.

Unfortunately, his wife and kids are not in agreement, and it's causing stress in his marriage. Please lift him up."

The Worst Sin that we can Commit?

What is the worst sin we can commit?

And when he comes, he will convince the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
John 16:8 NLT

The worst sin
What would you consider the worst sin you could commit? Adultery? Stealing? Murder? You might be surprised by the answer the Bible gives. The worst sin—and the one with the most far-reaching consequences—is this: to refuse to believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit convicts guilty men and women of sin "because they do not believe in Me." (John 16:9) On that final day, it will not so much be the sin question as it will be the Son question.

All sins can be dealt with and forgiven if we believe in Jesus. We must not forget that knowledge brings responsibility. It is a grave thing to shake off the conviction of the Spirit. Jesus said the Spirit came to convict us "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:11). The ruler or prince of this world, Satan, was judged at Calvary. When Jesus went to the cross and died in our place, Satan lost his death grip on humanity. The spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment, but He wants most of all to give us assurance of forgiven sin. Why not let Him do what He really desires to do? Why not come to Jesus? Or if you have already done that, help someone else to follow your example.

Think you're an exception?

For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious ideal.
Romans 3:23 NLTRemember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
James 4:17 NLT

Details, please?

(1.) Remember what St. John says: "If our heart condemn us, God is stronger than our heart." The feeling of being, or not being, forgiven and loved is not what matters. One must come down to brass tacks. If there is a particular sin on your conscience, repent and confess it. If there isn't, tell the despondent devil not to be silly. You can't help hearing his voice (the odious inner radio), but you must treat it merely like a buzzing in your ears or any other irrational nuisance. (2.)

Remember the story in the Imitation, how the Christ on the crucifix suddenly spoke to the monk who was so anxious about his salvation and said, "If you knew that all was well, what would you, today, do or stop doing?" When you have found the answer, do it or stop doing it. You see, one must always get back to the practical and definite. What the devil loves is that vague cloud of unspecified guilt feeling or unspecified virtue by which he lures us into despair or presumption. "Details, please?" is the answer. (3.) The sense of dereliction cannot be a bad symptom, for Our Lord Himself experienced it in its depth—"Why has thou forsaken me?"

Men of generosityProverbs 11:25 –

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.As we serve the Lord we learn that at times the most logical thing we could do seems illogical to our human minds. When we do what seems to be the opposite of the norm, we get the best results. Being generous is one such example. The man who takes from his wealth to give to the poor will find his wealth increased and not diminished. The hand that we use to help others becomes the hand that opens the heart of God toward us. Christ said, “Give and you will be given.”--------------------

Prayer Request

The following was forwarded to me by my friend Jean. I met her in a Spanish class a few years ago. Great friend. Her daughter is friends with the two people in the request below. Pregnant with twins and in danger of losing one or all.

Thanks, Jeanne
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

At our Tuesday July 28th ultrasound we found out that our little girl is not growing well. She grew a minimum and is still only 1 lb 11 ounces. The Dr. is mostly worried that she isn't growing any around her abdomen. She is breathing and moving well. Her heartbeat is good...but she doesn't seem to be eating well.

So we go in on Friday for another ultrasound to see if she is OK.
Then next Friday the 7th we have another ultrasound to check for growth. If she has not grown more, then they want to do an emergency c-section which of course means that the boys also will come out with her. This will be the end of the 30th week. Earlier then we wanted. Please PRAY that Sierra Rose gains weight - especially gains around the abdomen.
The boys are doing great – Jonathan is 3 lbs 4 ounces and Michael is 2 lbs 15 ounces – both are still above average growth even if they were singletons.

Thanks for standing with us!
David and Rosa

Which Way do I Go?

How do I know which way to go?

Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

Psalm 25:4-5 NLTPay attention and grow wise, for I am giving you good guidance. Don't turn away from my teaching.

Proverbs 4:1-2 NLTI will teach you wisdom's ways and lead you in straight paths. If you live a life guided by wisdom, you won't limp or stumble as you run.

Proverbs 4:11-12 NLT

Facing options
Sometimes we're faced with several options, and we don't know which way to go. In Psalm 25, David asked God for guidance. Perhaps he remembered when, as a shepherd boy, he had to show the right path to his sheep who were wandering away. Just as he knew which path would lead to safety for his sheep, God knew the path that would lead to everlasting life. Just as those sheep that looked to him for direction were in the least danger, so David knew he needed to look to God for direction. Today, God still leads us by his truth—his written Word and his Spirit, which helps us to understand it. Are you not sure which path to take? Pray as David did and read what God has already said in his written Word. He will show the right road to follow.

Where do we find God's Presence?

Where do we find God's Presence?

Open for me the gates where the righteous enter; and I will go in and thank the Lord. Those gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. I thank you for answering my prayer and saving me!

Psalm 118:19-21 NLTThe Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him sincerely.
Psalm 145:18 NLTBecause of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come fearlessly into God's presence, assured of his glad welcome.

Ephesians 3:12 NLT
Prayer brings us to His presence

[Psalm 118] pictures a victorious yet battle-weary king at the helm of a throng of grateful people entering the gates of the temple to thank God for saving them. During those times, the temple represented God's presence—the place where followers would go to pray to the Lord. Today, we enter into God's presence in a car, at work, or in the aisles of a grocery store—wherever we take time to pray to him. We can be sure God hears our prayers and answers each one wherever and whenever they are uttered. And by doing so, he gives us even more reasons to pray. Just like the victorious king in this psalm, we should enter God's presence by thanking him for answering prayers. What answers to prayer are you thankful for today?

This Week's Promise

This week's promise: Our prayers bring us into God's presence

How can I make my prayers effective?

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 NLT
Praying effectively

Paul urges Timothy to lift up requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving. A request is a need, a deep desire for something we don't have—something only God can supply. A prayer is a word of praise and adoration. A more accurate translation of this word from the original Greek might be to "worship in earnest." Intercession is praying on behalf of others. Our prayers should regularly reflect this kind of selfless lifestyle.

Thanksgiving involved remembering those past prayers that have already been answered, acknowledging that we not only trust God's supremacy and involvement in our life but also how his hand has moved and guided us in the past. When we pray effectively, we do more than communicate with God—we commune with him. We become one in mind and spirit and purpose. Today, let the focus of your prayer time be to connect with God in a very real and personal way, not as a slave would petition his master, but as a son would enjoy the company of a loving and gracious father.

This week's promise: Our prayers bring us into God's presence
What should be our attitude in prayer?
Then Eli realized it was the Lord who was calling the boy. So he said to Samuel, "Go and lie down again, and if someone calls again, say, 'Yes, Lord, your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went back to bed. And the Lord came and called as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel replied, "Yes, your servant is listening."

1 Samuel 3:8-10 NLTSpeak, Lord, in the stillness, while I wait on Thee; hushed my heart to listen in expectancy. Speak, O blessed Master, in this quiet hour, let me see Thy face, Lord, feel Thy touch of power.
Emily May Grimes

God revealed
God revealed himself mightily to the prophet Elijah, sending fire to burn the sacrifice on Mount Carmel. But later, as Elijah moped on the mountain, the Lord taught him an important lesson. There was a wind, an earthquake, and a fire—but the Lord was not in any of these. Then came a still, small voice. That was how God chose to speak to His prophet. The same is true today. We long for fire from heaven to silence the skeptics once and for all, but God doesn't usually work that way. Long ago He revealed Himself as a helpless baby sleeping in a dirty feed trough, and today He speaks quietly to ordinary people like you and me—if only we are still enough to listen. That is the sentiment expressed by Emily May Grimes in the words of the hymn, "Speak, Lord, in the Stillness."

God' plan

What appears bad may be God's plan for good
"I am Joseph!" he said to his brothers. "Is my father still alive?" But his brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them. "Come over here," he said. So they came closer. And he said again, "I am Joseph, your brother whom you sold into Egypt. But don't be angry with yourselves that you did this to me, for God did it. He sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. These two years of famine will grow to seven, during which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God has sent me here to keep you and your families alive so that you will become a great nation. Yes, it was God who sent me here, not you! And he has made me a counselor to Pharaoh—manager of his entire household and ruler over all Egypt."
Genesis 45:3-8 NLT

About this week's promise
Homespun wisdom says, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Although you won't find it put just that way in the Bible, you will find many stories of both effective and poor planning. The Bible teaches that God is a God of both purpose and planning. His purpose is to draw all humanity to himself in order to forgive and redeem. His plan—from Creation, to the Law, to the Prophets, to Jesus and the church—is what we are seeing when we read and study the Bible. Planning is part of all of our lives. The only question is if, in all our planning, we ever consult his perfect and eternal plan.

Prayer Request-Please help us?

Prayer Request

This is the first time and I hope not the last time that I will ask that you will join me in a prayer request. I do not normal ask this of anyone to say a prayer for someone else other than when I ask you to say a prayer for me. I know in my heart that you have said prayers in my favor just because of the good luck I have had. Thanks to you all I have been able to keep my high spirits and faith held strongly in place. See I know in my heart of hearts that prayer works, you know in yours it does also.
This brings me to the prayer Request. I have a friend I meet while I was managing the Salvation Army store here in Las Vegas. His name is Mike W.

This young man, age 34 was working there in one of the many drug programs that the Salvation Army offers to the community free of charge but that requires you to work there with them for 6 months. You get free food and board as well as Dr. care but you have to work at the Army stores or warehouse and live in their dormitories. You are under constant supervision but also on the honor system. Mike has a drinking problem and cocaine problem also.

Mike is a very educated individual and also a Christian in training. When I meet Mike I knew that I was meeting a very warm and funny person and a very hard worker as well as always so up-beat. Mike was so positive all the time and I had no doubts that he would make it through the whole program. He did make it all the way through and was offered a full time job working there as well as low cost housing and health care. But several days after he had finished the program, Mike had a relapse and started drinking and doing cocaine again. The sad thing is that he has done this three times, and has failed three times.

He called me last night and told me all that had happened and that he finally realized that he really did not want to stop drinking and doing drugs, he just liked them to much and he just did not want to stop. Wow, what a realization indeed to have come up with, a very honest self-realization to be sure.



Mike is a good man, a smart man, a Christian even though he is doing drugs he is still one of God’s children. The bible tells us how many times that we sometimes must forgive if the person is truly sorry for what they are doing to themselves or others. Seven X seven times is what the Bible tells us.

I know that you are all very busy and with families and worries all your own. But as Children of God I am asking that after you read this decide if you want to say a prayer for Mike W. and ask Father God to shack up Mike’s heart and soul and make him realize that time is growing short. Mike is killing himself and his death will be such a waste. He has so much to give and I am a better person for having been able to share some time with him.
Please ask God to intervene. We do not want to lose people like Mike in this world. Remember right now he is lost. And haven’t we all been there.

I love you guy’s and I am so proud to be in your lives, please help me save a friend in need, I love you all, Carl

The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Pastor Who Has Been There and Done That

The prodigal son, are you the one?

by on July 24, 2009
You should behave instead like God’s very own children, adopted into his family (Romans 8:15, NLT).
The story is told of a man who had begged on the streets for a living.
One day he touched a man on the shoulder and said, “Hey, mister, can you give me a dime?” (That was many years ago when a dime was worth a lot more than it is now.)
As soon as he saw the face of the man he had asked, he was shocked to discover that it was his own father!

He cried out, “Father, father, do you know me?”

The father looked at him, then suddenly threw his arms around him and with tears in his eyes, said, “Oh, my son, at last I’ve found you! I’ve found you! You want a dime? Everything I have is yours.”

The beggar said, “Think of it. I was a tramp. I stood begging my own father for ten cents, when for 18 years he had been looking for me to give me all he had.”
What a wonderful illustration of the way God longs to treat us, if we’ll let Him. The story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 is also an example of how the Father feels toward us. “His father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger, and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening in the pen. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found” (vs. 22-24, NLT).

How many people are going through life as spiritual beggars, unaware of their heavenly Father and His desire to bless them with all His riches?
Jesus said these amazing words: “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32, NLT).

It makes God happy to give us the kingdom! How deep is that? It reminds me of Romans 8:15-17: “So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves. You should behave instead like God’s very own children, adopted into his family — calling him ‘Father, dear Father.’ For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we will share his treasures — for everything God gives to his Son, Christ, is ours, too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering” (NLT).
People do not have to be spiritual beggars, for if they believe, “everything God gives to his Son, Christ, is ours, too.”

But let us not overlook that last sentence: “But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.” That does not mean self-imposed suffering, or that we should seek suffering, but it means whatever may come our way as we live in a sinful world as a witness for Christ.
Go and tell the world of you adoption into the family of jesus.

2 Timothy 3:2 – People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy.Right in the middle of all the other ugly weaknesses of man God puts, “Lovers of money!” It is the misuse of money that becomes an issue. God wants to bless you, but He will never bless you with something that is going to curse you. If, as men of God, we get the right perspective of the things He puts into our hands, then He will trust us with more of His blessings. Money is a wonderful servant but a cruel taskmaster!Please make an effort this week to invite your friends (men) to join us in this group. Thanks everyone

After 60 years in one church Jimmy Carter says no

After more than 60 years together, Jimmy Carter has announced himself at odds with the Southern Baptist Church -- and he's decided it's time they go their separate ways.

Via "http://www.feministing.com/archives/016792.html", the former president called the decision "unavoidable" after church leaders prohibited women from being ordained and insisted women be "subservient to their husbands." Said Carter in an essay in http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/losing-my-religion-for-equality-20090714-dk0v.html?page=-1:

At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities.

Follow us:"http://twitter.com/politicsdaily""http://www.facebook.com/politicsdaily"
And, later:
The truth is that male religious leaders have had -- and still have -- an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter. Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world.

After watching everyone from philandering politicians to Iran's president taking a sudden look heavenwards when the roof starts to come down on them, it's refreshing to see Carter calling out the role of religion in the mistreatment of women. The question for Carter -- and for others who find themselves at odds with leadership -- is, when a group you're deeply involved in starts to move away from your own core beliefs, do you stay and try to change from within or, at some point, do you have to look for the exit? Carter did give the former a shot -- in recent years publicly criticizing and distancing himself from church leadership, while staying involved with his church. Now, he's seeing if absence might do what presence did not.

This week's promise

This week's promise: God will wipe away sorrow forever

Is God concerned about our pain?

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous face many troubles, but the Lord rescues them from each and every one.
Psalm 34:18-19 NLT

He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care.
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed! All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the guilt and sins of us all.
Isaiah 53:3-6 NLT

Crying ones

Through the pain and sorrow of Christ's experiences on earth, God has experienced the depths of human grief.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You that are called born of God, and Christians, if you be not criers, there is no spiritual life in you; if you be born of God, you are crying ones; as soon as He raised you out of the dark dungeon of sin, you cannot but cry to God.
John Bunyan

Three Days of Darkness

Three Days Of Darkness-number 2 better copy

I want you all to read this letter and read it very clearly. You must make a decision to believe or not to believe. Now I personally believe that this will happen someday and perhaps very soon. My Mother originally told me about this prophecy over 30 years ago. and for some reason it has come back to me. For this reason I have chosen to find the beeswax candles they talk about as well as Holy Water. The candles I am finding are hard to come by but i will find them. I do this as an act of faith in God. and the respect and Honor i have for Jesus Mother Mary. I compare the love I have for my departed Mother as intense and deep and Mom was a true blessing from God to me. And then to understand the deepness of love Jesus had to die on the cross for me, us, how much deeper was the love of His Mother Mary. It could never be measured in mere human terms.

So please, go to this web site and read these words and decide for your self, you know that time is short and you know this to be the truth. God Bless You my friends, love Carl

It has been A While

Sorry

It has been a long while since i have done any thing new to add to my Blog. the truth is that I have been very sick and in a tremendous amount of pain. my legs and feet are on fire and i am confined to staying inside of my home. When i do go out it is for short trips to Walmart and pretty much that is all. The pain is growing worst and I just am stuck being without medical help, no insurance, un-insurable as they say. it will be a while till i write again,

God Bless You, Love Carl

This is the desert, Las Vegas, Nevada

pictured at the end of my street is the new East Side Cannery Casino. as you can see they are very close and light up the night sky with neopn stares, got to love vegas, carl

My Little House in the Desert

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky We'll run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!"

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

PS: GOD LOVES YOU...Pass this word on to more friends and ask them to continue telling others that GOD love them too. Just think of how many people that could be reached out to and blessed with these words.

No One knows

No one, but the One
Knows the time and of That Day


We had been told
And this righteously so
For here in black and white had been written
Yet but several millennia or so ago

For it has been my understanding
That this very Christ Jesus did not even know
For that time and place was for one only to know
This is God The Father; He was only to have known

So my children please be weary
Of those who claim that they know
The time and place for the time
Of our Christ Jesus to finally come home.

For you will hear rumors
For many will boldly proclaim
That they have received a special foreknowledge
To me they are to be considered deranged

So when you hear stories
of the coming time and the place
Please open up your bible
The Holy Spirit will show you the place

For no one knows
And you can trust this most trustable of sites
For it has been written in your Bible, This Book of all life
For our Father God only knows, can you deny that He is right?

A Matter of Interpretation?
It had been discussed at quite length
Scholars thought that there interpretation
Was the correct one of course?

Correct maybe if The Holy Spirit was not in you
Could these men of many learning's
Could they themselves be led astray?
Wasn’t there something about running too and fro

Something about so much knowledge that it was meaningless this day
After all, is it not the center of most discussions?
Is it not what all the so-called Scholars say?
After all they all have their diplomas

There diplomas that say they know what they say
Look they are all saying the same thing
It is temporary at the best
Yet I have herd it said that they were preparing

By digging holes in the ground for them to soon stay, a place of safety a place of rest?
They had a scientific quorum
For all the best of the best did show that day
For it was the time to make discussions

For they had calculated the coming last day
All the ancient books had been open
Cather in columns all segue
Notebooks of written words upon papers

Formulas discussed then reissued then all confused
Nothing made any sense anymore
Basic truths up heaved and defused
It had become like Babble once again

This time science, technology, we had abused
There was nothing left for us to fight for
No greener to take in, any flowers left, only gloom
We a people had lost our way, somehow we had been betrayed

All hope to us was lost; we were but only the fools, left so confused, left so crushed
What in Gods very name were we thinking?
What kind of delusions had we all been under
Why did all of this so-called Mankind become so fooled?

What in the very depths of our evil hearts had we sunk too
We are but fools
We have been given paradise
And we gave it all away but for the thought of becoming like very gods

What in the very name of creation had we done, I had cried out in disbelieve
Our science had failed us
Technology lay in ruins, staked up in piles of twisted plastics and metals
Grotesque metal sculptures remain

They warn us of yet another evil to come
We are now being taunted by voices unseen
And the very air around us has grown thick with mistrust
For we, mankind know the end is coming very near

Can you feel the hairs on the back of your neck?
The Seals have been open, do we dear to assume which?

Prayer Request

Please submit your prayer requests so that we can all form a prayer circle and ask our Father God for His help in your or your family's life. Together we can be many voice's turned to one voice. We can ask of The father His help as His children that we are or will soon become through our prayers to Him. I ask you to send in your prayers so that together we can ask The Lord for His help and guidance. God bless You All, Love, Carl

Wormwood Part 1 & 2

Worm Wood-Part One
There had been strange rumblings
This for quite a long while
Those in power new that something was coming

When asked were from, they all pointed, fingers pointing straight up into the ski
Now there had always been talk
That perhaps some day a near miss
And one for sure they knew off, some say perhaps more

Well they say they new one wiped out all those dinosaurs
But this is just talk, science fiction at best
Doomsday scenarios with all the best technical effects
Yet was this not read, in the Book of Life?

A star would fall from the heavens, destroying on third of all its inhabitants, one third of all human life
Destroying one third of all the fresh waters
Destroying one third of all plant and animal life

This planet Earth as we knew it
All this once created would lose its cohesion in just one plight
We had all been warned

For it had been written in the ancient texts
That Mother Earth would be smitten
By this evil from the black heavens on an unknown night

For the name was even given
Words of horror and grief
So much of this so called human kind
In but one day would now be deceased





Worm Wood Part Two

This Planet is dying

For this Earth so rumbled
Mighty winds blown across these lands
Very mountains crumble down to mere pebbles in minutes
This great earth shakes so very hard, but for that of but another moment it will end

For this had never happened
For at least since any records had been kept
Even the very islands
Slipped into the waters, these shaken waters did not relent

For every raised surface had been shaken
As never before had there ever been such an event
Not one high place would be standing
For not any low or high places would there be left

An entire civilization
All that would have been called the very best of man
All shaken to their very foundations
All once built upon rock has turned into sand

Have we been caught unguarded?
Were we not aware of such an event?
Was it not written in the very Book of the Heavens?
Were not the words, the Truth God sent

The only word that I may leave you
Please make sure you always say your prayers
For there is one that hides in the shadows
Whose day has yet to be known, for he has been watching for years

The Seal has been Broken

The Seal has been Broken-Chapters One

This parchment
Deeply yellowed with great age and weight
Written from ancient times so very long ago
Edges worn and cracked from great ages past

The parchment lay open upon the dried earth
Seal of wax broken in two crimson pieces
Words written in that of an ancient unknown language

Had these words been spoken
Had there been herd a great sigh
When these written words had been uttered

Sealed so long from the ears of mankind
When first read out loud, did the reader cry out
Wow to this human kind

There will begin great turmoil now to be known
For what was once, will now cease to be
For even with all of mans great knowledge, he will fail

When the seal had been broken
The very words of prophecy now have become very fact
The change at first appeared to be subtle

In the end, the very end it has become very fact
We as humans
We could not see that the change had begun
The very foundations of mankind would now be shaken

Man will have been brought to the very ground
We had drifted to much away from were we had come from
We walked away from our Father God
This we gave up in the name of
Civilization


How eager we were to leave
Our Father God we had so loved
Walked away from This Written Word
So very many of us new as His love

As foolish children
We thought we knew it all
How deep, how sad, we humans, how hard we had to fall
Fall away from the Truth that was our very Father’s All

Chapter-Two
The Seal has been Broken, How many more to Come

This creation called mankind
How hard do they fight to exist?
Do they not yet realize?
That what little time they will have to make this a finale peace

Seven Seals that must be broken
Each carries an arrow and a tear
A young mother for here unborn children cries
While a red-hot arrow tip splits the skin

We had all been warned
For there is not one excuse
We can not rest on what was once done yesterday
For in the now is all we can do

Say your prayers, my dear children
For all that is said, will all this come to truth
For the ski will have fallen, it’s name is Wormwood
Say your prayers my dear children

For it has been written
For you all know this to be true
For it has been written in The book of Life
Please look for yourself, it is fact and it is truth

Masada

This generations Last Stand-Chapter One

For we are at One, One Nation once more
For this time, will be our last time
We as a People, a Nation of Souls will fight
No more will we be dispersed among the nations any more

We once The People of a Great Nation
Dispersed among all the nations
For a call has come out from Israel
Our Mother has called all of Her Children to come Home

Israel, O’ Israel
Calling all your Children once more to come Home
This will be Our Greatest Glory
We will rebuild The Third Temple, never to be destroyed any more

For we are an Ancient Peoples
For we have preserved The Written Word and Traditions of our God
For we are a Chosen people
First but not the least of His children of our Father God

For Us, this very Generation
Yes, we can feel it deep, rising in the blood
For it is this Generation, O’ Israel
For it is we that Speak, Never again, Never again will we back down











Masada Chapter Two

This Our Final Stand

For these fifty plus years we have labored
Reclaimed the Deserts with our sweat and our blood
Out of these barren rocks we built our cities
These foundations we know they will not ever rot

We have welcomed back our Peoples
Searched this earth from high and low
We have found what treasure had been taken from us
We will not let our past ever be taken or forgotten, or let go

This time, this time
We as a Nation of Jews, Say No!
For this will never do for never more we proclaim
It is death till this the end, we have pledged in our hearts to make

In finale proclamation
We the nation of The Jew
We shall fight till the end of everything
Or we shall die in making this true.

Prayer

Through prayer I have found my peace, I have found my safety and a place of eternal refuge from this earthly storm. I mean this life can be so very hard at times, and through prayer we can ask for our Fathers guidance, His Love, His support.

Every night before I go to bed I take a moment to make reflection of my day. I get myself all cozy and comfortable for I never know how long my prayers will take. Then I begin. Thank you father for this day you have given me. And a good day it was and I thank you. Then I go through my day and I talk to Him about what I had done or what I might have said, and often tell Him how sorry I was when I goofed up. You have to remember to always tell God the truth, do not candy coat it. And always remember to talk to God with the respect that He deserves. Never call God dad or the big guy up there, call Him father God with all the respect and Love He deserves, and He deserves all that we can give. God is the father and He is truth, the perfection of truth.

You always come before God on bended knee even when lying down in your bed at night. I always ask The Father to thank Christ Jesus for His life that He gave for me as well as all mankind, all that we had to do was to ask for forgiveness and except Jesus as His one and only Son. Tell God that you be leave with all your heart that this is the truth and you dedicate all your heart and soul to them both.


I then ask The Father to help the Holy Spirit in me to grow wise and strong. To help make me into a better Christian to serve The Father & Son to the best that I am able. I tell The father I want Him to be proud of me. I want Him to say when my time comes, yes I know you Carl, and I remember your prayers well. That is what I wish to hear The Father say. I will then ask The Father to please forgive me for what I may have forgot to have confessed.
Then before closing I ask Him to forgive us humans for turning away from Him, and what a great mistake that had been.




In closing I ask the father to bless my friends and my family and I always call out each one of their names. I ask the Father to please tell my Mother how much I love her and that I miss her so much that my heart is still broken, and in pain. I ask Him to watch over her, as I know He watches over Mary, the Mother of Jesus and I remind Him that I know how much He must love her. Then finally I once again tell Him thank You for this day and to please bless my two dogs, Cassie & Reilly. They’re in there teenage years and are driving me crazy, and say thank you for all the love they give me and help me make it through my day.

There are some nights that I will talk with Him for a couple of hours, I just guess I have a lot to say. Then some nights I am so tired I may tell Him thank you for getting through this crazy day and God Bless you God. Amen
The important thing is please just talk to God each and every day. Make the time to tell Him how much you love Him. How much love you have in your heart for Him. For me I like to pray at bedtime when I can have that private time for father and child talk. I am relaxed and the day is done. Other times during the day I will often take a moment out to say thank you father, job well done. You are truly the Creator, look at all you have done.
Prayer, Talking to The father, talking to the Son. Do it now, do it every day for the rest of your life. God Bless you my children, Love Carl

Coming HomeIn my thoughts I can only imagineComing home, home to HeavenTo see the Lord in all his gloryIt would be a wondrous storyForever comforted by his essenceJust to be in his great presenceLight so bright it hurts my eyesGown so white looks crystallizedFeeling the peace of being thereIn his company such awesome careTake me home Lord in your time frameI long for you to say my nameBy: Jeanne Grant 4-16-04 (copywrite)

Till Death Do PartMarriage…a game of give and takeAll decisions you both makeStarting out the best of friendsMove on to hugs and holding handsAcross the room you can connectNever touching, no contactLoving glances, starry eyesHonest answers, never liesLoving only one anotherPut before any otherLove, respect, and admirationMarriage vows…a foundationArms of comfort, strong affectionArm in arm, the right directionChoices wise, not a doubtTill death do part, no easy outBlooming love is so worthwhileRemember loving with a smile.Written by: Jeanne Grant 3-16-04 (copywrite)

Canoe
Friday 04.23.04 [11:01 pm]

A Lonely CanoeA small lonely sad canoeWas swimming down the Blue BayouLooking for a place to berthAll alone on this great big earthHe has traveled many miles aloneLooking for a brand new homeThe journey seemed never-endingIf there was only a place to clingWhere he came from was not niceHe was treated like a block of iceHe was small and they were largeOne of them even a bargeThe many boats were not his friendsHis only sight, their big back endsHe stayed alone, not in their thoughtsSmall and tiny, to them a mere dotOff he went to seek some spaceLooking for a new home baseEver hopeful to meet new friendsSomeone to share with till the endThen one day he saw from afarShining brightly like a starIn the distance there it layA dozen boats in a little bayBoats his size and just as niceHe moved in to take his sliceHe was welcomed on this dayThe little canoe had found his wayA new beginning not an endTo his story there was a bendAll his searching worth the waitThis was where he met his mateBy: Jeanne Grant 4-1-04 (copywrite)

City People
Friday 04.23.04 [11:02 pm]

City PeopleA move to OregonFour years we were goneOut of our elementWe thought “bring it on”Life didn’t just happenThe way that we thoughtThe city folks, usIn the country were caughtWe toiled to make itWe tried to fit inBut each day we struggledFrom beginning to endThe accidents kept comingThe problems a fewEvery way we turnedEnded us in a stewI melted some waxIn a pot on the stoveA fire did happenInto panic I doveWater dogs in pipesFlooding rivers that roamFirewood to warmOh for gas heat from homeBats and snakes we did seeBobcats and quiet we did hearAll of these “normal” thingsSure to put us in fearDampness all overDresser wood peelingCrackers are soggyMade us start squealingWhy did we come here?What were we thinking?Noises inside wallsCivet cats stinkingNeighbors were helpfulWe weren’t all aloneWe finally learned toFunction on our ownBy: Jeanne Grant 4-15-04 (copywrite)

Knock KnockTic toc tic tocI hear the rushing of the clockI’d like to stop it with a rockI hear the clock go knock, knock, knockWhat’s the hurry, what’s the rushWork will wait so won’t you hushDon’t you bother, don’t you pushI’d rather not so shushI’d rather stay in bed today I need to find another wayDon’t want to work so let me stayIn bed for yet another dayDon’t want to hurryDon’t want to worryNo I’m not sorryIn bedclothes I buryTo earn a livingJobs unforgivingWant you always givingWant you ever strivingThe freedom to createDid I wait too late?Getting up irateEnter the sleepy gateAfter the buzzer soundsMust get up & aroundI’d rather lie back downHave to go and make rounds.Tic toc tic tocI hear the rushing of the clockI’d like to stop it with a rockI hear the clock go knock, knock, knockBy: Jeanne Grant 4-2-04 (copywrite)

Life by GraceWent to the festival tonightTo hear about the LightFranklin Graham, not BillyThe weather slightly chillyThe music was so greatFranklin praised at eightThe message spoken outEveryone told the routeThe people start to roamTo say that golden poemTo save their life by graceAnd use that one free aceThe mass will not regretFor Jesus paid the debt.By: Jeanne Grant 4-2-04

Purses
Friday 04.23.04 [11:07 pm]

Trash to TreasureA purse is just a trash canYou carry it aroundYou fill it up with junkThat never can be foundThey come in different sizesDepending on your wantsThe more you always carryThe bigger purse you flauntTiny purses are a jokeYou may as well not botherCarry stuff in a pocketAnd leave at home the otherBy: Jeanne Grant 4-16-04 (copywrite)

Trees
Friday 04.23.04 [11:11 pm]

TreesLook at the treesSo tall and SereneThen there are someThat can barely be seenTall ones that tower over allSmall ones that are the futureBoth are equally wonderfulHousing and sheltering creaturesTrees stand strong and regalShowing the world how proudMaking a statement to the worldWithout having to be loudThey make their mark on the worldGiving themselves for goodMaking themselves availableSo the world can use their woodNo one ever thought aboutHow the tree would feelIf it could talk and let you knowThe feeling when chainsaws peelBut the next generation will riseAnd make the same donationAll in the call of dutyTo make for a stronger nationBy: Jeanne Grant 4-16-04 (copywrite)

Bakersfield
Friday 04.23.04 [11:18 pm]

BakersfieldEveryone thinks that we are hicksThey think we live down in the sticksSmall enough to feel down-homeYet large enough to freely roamIt’s centralized for many pleasuresThe beach, the mountains, are some treasuresFar enough to go and stayOr close enough to spend the dayHome of several Country StarsEven home of famous barsOf the problems, one is clearThe heat is hot as Hades here.By: Jeanne Grant 4-5-04 (copywrite)

My dog Fuzz
Saturday 04.24.04 [1:01 am]

FUZZInto life came a bearAll fuzzy and rareEnjoyed life to no endTwo hearts he did bendNever knowing his bodyHeld a bomb that was readyHis illness so realHis life had no zealBorn without a careLoving life unawareHis loyalty so fierceTheir heart he did pierceLoved ever so muchMany hearts he did touchLife over too soonLeft them feeling doomOne day all okayHis pain left that dayOnly one year had passedBut the memories still lastOne gentle giant dearHis humans with tearsNo more pain was his lifeNo more struggles or strife.By: Jeanne Grant (copywrite)

Old Love
Saturday 04.24.04 [1:05 am]

Old Love…Comfort ZoneWhen love comes in romance goes outThat is the way it turnsThat is what love is all aboutDon’t think it means to spurnIt doesn’t mean “no more love”It doesn’t meant disasterLove turns into comfort modeForevermore, and afterIf love is deep within your heartA difference it won’t makeJust remember these my wordsIt’s all about some give and take.When you reach this point in lifeWhen things are not all franticYou will appreciate this timeRewards are most gigantic.By: Jeanne Grant 3-29-04 (copywrite)

Motorcycle Accident

Me N U & U N MeRiding like the wind so carefreeEnjoying the day just you and meRacing a sprint down the roadHaving the wind caress the loadNo one around, just us twoHaving fun just Me N USpending the time getting the feelEnjoying a day that seemed surrealThe ride was good, it was so relaxingHad no thought it would get so taxingRiding and riding slow and fastHaving fun just us at lastAll of a sudden looming aheadA big mud puddle left me seeing redScared to cross it, I hesitateMade a turn but a mite too lateA turn to the left was a bad dealOut from under slid the back wheelHeld on tight while I did slideInto the mud, no loss of hideAll of a sudden the hills so bareBecame a crowded freeway oh so rarePeople coming out from under rocksTo see the person muddy to the socksLying in the puddle cold and wetLifted my leg and started to fretFelt like mush from the knee on downLeft my face with a huge old frownSiren blaring, engine gearingTo the hospital we were tearingInside I was in a shockWaiting for the one last block All alone and feeling blueFirst time at hospital guess I was dueHustle bustle not able to careMedicine made me unawareMet the doctor, these words I heard“You might lose your leg,” how obsurd Scared and in shock I had no cluesNot even grasping the serious newsThe leg was set and a cast was onThree days later for home I had goneBundled, stressed, and feeling weakThe days ahead seemed extremely bleakTen years later have made some gainBut still struggling with the painThe moral to my lengthy storyStay off cycles and spare the worry By: Jeanne Grant 4-10-04 (copywrite)

The Passion for Christ
Tuesday 04.27.04 [8:06 am]

The Passion for ChristJesus came to earth for usThe movie The Passion I did seeIt gave me cause to realizeHow much suffering He did for meSitting in the theaterThe people all aroundTho tearing up and cryingNo one made a soundEveryone seemed to be tryingTo understand all they sawBut the screen was so excitingAll appeared in shock and aweAfter the movie was overNo one made a moveLetting it all sink inHow much was Jesus’ loveOff to our lives we wentBack into the futureEach one carrying a burdenTaken from that great featureNo one said they hated itNo one seemed to mindIn that place of darknessEach one love there did findIt does not seem enough for meTo take the gift He gaveAnd just say “thank you”For my future He did saveBy: Jeanne Grant 4-25-04 (copywrite)

Walk with God
Tuesday 04.27.04 [8:14 am]

My Walk With GodWhen I started my walk with GodI found the way was very hardSinful ways I found were easyBut do not give the same reward.I felt I wasn't good enoughI never felt successBut a friend told me this,"You are a work in progress"He said, "God doesn't expectA perfect person for you to beYou work along the path of lifeLearning so you can see."So off I go on this great walkPraying for all God's wisdomTo come to me in loving trustAnd take me to His kingdom.By: Jeanne Grant 4-25-04 (copywrite)
