SPIRITUAL SUNSET
The sky so blue yet the sunset Red
Fiery and passionate, vast, so widespread
The two cooperate and are so complete
They mix into purple like one heart beat
The power of red like an ardent flame
The somber blue, filled with love, yet tame
They come together, in a silent explosion
One torrid, purple, spiritual ocean
Such a wondrous panoramic scene
Peaceful, tranquil, so serene
This optical fusion, in a beautiful sky
A delightful feast to behold, for you and eye
Fiery and passionate, vast, so widespread
The two cooperate and are so complete
They mix into purple like one heart beat
The power of red like an ardent flame
The somber blue, filled with love, yet tame
They come together, in a silent explosion
One torrid, purple, spiritual ocean
Such a wondrous panoramic scene
Peaceful, tranquil, so serene
This optical fusion, in a beautiful sky
A delightful feast to behold, for you and eye

What do you hear?
Which voices in my heart should I try to keep near
The one that reassures, or the one that creates fear
Should I obsess, and worry over every little thing
or be of a calm mind, and peace it may bring
will I give into thoughts that make me discouraged
in preference to helping and trying to encourage
getting things done and try to rush as I must
or be still, pray and listen, to the One that I trust
I would rather be lead than pushed to the brink
enlightening my spirit, not to confuse what I think
so His word may convict me, it does not condemn ...

The Word
Who is He that will bless all the nations?
"He, is the faithful witness who witnesses our actions,
both good and bad"
Shows up in all our weakness
He is an ark of those who take refuge in him
He trained the untrained
combined words with power
kept himself pure
aggressive against the enemy
overcame family problems
tore down false religions
broke cultural stereotypes
He was tempted by evil
Yet he was meek before God
He was a righteous sufferer
Mistreated by many around him
He obeyed and...

Scripture (spoken to them, speaks to us)
You call me out through all the masses
to your heavenly table, gold plates and glasses
Give me your strength and your Holy Spirit
Keeping me humble, your kingdom to inherit
Help me each day to sort out confusion
in a turbulent world, and enemies delusions
I double down on my faith, ask you into my heart
Protect me from evil and wisdom impart
I wanna hear you, more than I wanna hear me
I do not need a miracle or parting of seas
Speak to my family and all of my friends
let them all see, how your love never ends
and as in heaven, so on...

I am fine, I am a good person?
Are they commandments, or are they suggestions
as I look at my life and all my reflections
Yes, I have lied, and yes I have stolen
Ok, maybe one or two of His laws have been broken
but I give to charities and I go to church
I volunteer time and the bible I search
but still, I have lusted(coveted), and even acted on it
So, then I'm a sinner, I have to admit
But I think overall I've done more good than bad?
yet, I guess there are a few more sins we could add
Taken His name in vain, during anger
Ok, now the feeling, my soul is in...

say no to fear
F aith can be shaken
E nemy uses this more than any other weapon
A nxiety, worry, nervousness, confusion are all seeds for it
R ealize God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, love, sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

Heavenly Text
Where are you sons and daughters, are you lost and waiting to be found
Where is your inner spirit, release yourself from earthly bounds
Can you only see the world for all its pleasures, and not the righteous path
Are you waiting for the time to gather and see if you really face His wrath
Do not give in to the flesh and gratification, or acquiesce to a life of sin
Do not resist the one who loves you, open up your heart and let him in
Let the living spirit protect you, give your heart to the one thats pure
Gods Word, if you are lost or broken, His...

Never Forget, ( our spirit is strong )
Airplanes into towers, plain view for all to see
the goal to inflict some terror, and create insanity
As we all tried to understand, such a severe attack
It brought us all together, now that we can all look back
The politicians gathered, for once no left or right
clergy from all walks of life, prayed throughout the night
Poets and musicians, sung songs for love and peace
emergency responders, kept uncovering more deceased
The world offered condolences, in languages near and far
people of all walks of life, broke down their barriers
...

Slow down and listen
My heart trembles when I feel you, well up inside me
should I fear what you are about to lay on my heart
can I understand exactly what you want
Will my noise inside my head drown you out
am I too anxious to listen
am i worthy of your wisdom
Lord I wait on you, please be merciful
I may be confused for just a moment or two
earthly understanding and spirit sometimes collide
My own noise will soon begin to fade away
Then very gently I will start to feel what you say
A comfort and a sense of peace, my heart begins to yearn

Fruit of the Spirit
My soul overwhelmed by Your love and Your grace
You entered my heart, and sin you displaced
Prayers are our way, to stay in your presence
Your word filled with truth, our heavenly essence
Whether we fall, or just stumble, You are always uplifting
In this chaotic world, we pray, you keep us from drifting
In all of the scripture, You give us assurance
to ask for Your strength and also endurance
Trials may befall us, but will not destroy
when it strengthens our faith, we count it as joy (James 1:2-4)

Against high Odds
Against many million
we had to outrun
Glory to God
we came in number one.
'the spermazoa race'
congrats to the winners!
