I was trying to catch the last of this summer’s wildflowers on our greenway system down by the river. The drier season of Fall has set in so the flowers are starting to fade away, but there’s always next Spring! I hope you have a blessed and good Saturday.
Suffer (Sacrifice) Suffering Of any kind Is not pleasant Or fun But it is the only way To run Toward Christ Arms held open To lovingly catch your Suffering For He knows Your greatest foe Knows the tactics satan will expose Every heartbeat uses In his war against heaven It is man, us he abuses To break God’s heart But Suffering will come As you try to follow God’s Only Son From a world Being led Being fed By satan’s lies So, you must come To expect the Suffering Christ Suffered in the extreme To pull us out of the Darkest of streams To be faithful, loyal to Him We must be willing to brave The suffering If unwilling we are To endure any pain For the Glory of His Name Then We do not truly love Him

Crisis Spiritual or physical The word still means The same In a dictionary it is Given a name Of Critical turning point Catastrophe Impending disaster Possible undesirable outcome Is it just me Or Does it seem to be Across the world Getting worse? I know in this country I live in There seems to be a rising of What used to be called Sin Self-centeredness Increasing Respect for the home, Families, Decreasing Unending lust for Money, possessions Some used for good But also without discretion To build up or To utterly destroy Forgetting to remember Evil can also be found Inside of toys So do not let your Days be wasted Remember words of old In God’s timeless Book Are told And perhaps These Crises we’ve created Maybe, just may be, But only with God’s help, abated
The Pearl I run in the Darkness Crying, panting In terror Until In the distance I see the Pearl Small at first, Yet shining brightly I run harder To escape the darkness So frightening Toward the Pearl And so, my body I hurl Faster, faster Must reach the light enveloping that large shining orb a sense of safety developing around that Pearl I run faster, harder Until I reach its Resting place Fall to my knees And in its white, translucent Skin I begin to see A reflection of my own face Until there seems to Appear a second trace Of another face Someone else beside me A hand falls upon my shoulder I tremble But then become bolder I turn around to look The one beside me smiles, Speaks, I am the one long ago you forsook But now with your return As is written in my Book All is forgiven My Blood bought you back And you have returned To Me, Your Savior And Your Pearl! Matthew 13: 45-46: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of Great Value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
In This Struggle Life comes at us Fast, Hard, Endlessly, So much to do This struggle to survive And so out I cry Help!

Desiring to be known Even though we may be prone To run away.

The I Am
(GOD)
Eternity’s All-Consuming,
Roaring Fire
Radiant Glory
Purity
Truest Beauty on display
From one glance
My heart breaks
I weep
Unworthy,
Created to carry
Your Image
I became corrupted
Perverted
But that was not
The end of the story
You decided
Sacrificed your throne
A crown
Without a sound
Laid down
I raised my hand
And struck
Your love absorbed
My cruelty’s darkness
Killed yourself
To stop my pain
