Revolving
Life is revolving
Circumstances Shifting,
Always evolving
Which is okay
God did not mean for
Us to stay
Forever static
But what are we
To become?
Is there an answer
To that as I run
My life’s race?
Just around what does
My life revolve?
All existence
Revolves around
God the Son,
God the Father
God the Holy Spirit
Holding all of life
Every living thing
In their hands
Stars spin,
Lives end & begin
Planets die off
All in tune to
A universal melody
An eternal song
Chiming out the purity
Infinity’s bright light
In God’s love
So, join in the dance
Let Him also entrance
Your heart
Join the mighty crowds
That have been endowed
With His Grace, Mercy
Forgiveness
Let your life revolve
Around His!
Culture, Culture
Culture, culture
Ringing in my ear
It’s sometimes on a day
All I can hear
Floating through the air
On radio waves
Forcing into my mind
Everything it intends to say
TV, movies, books even
Magazines
It intrudes its way in
Trying to please
The lower side of me
But by grace, I have been allowed to see
Vanity, vanity, all its vanity
So I shake my head
Loosen its hold
Coiled around my mind
Step out of the endless line
Of those being controlled
Selling out their very souls
To a world in love
With only its Self
Instead loosen that self
To fall in love with
Someone else
A greater God awaits
Holding out hands
To raise you up, to abate
All the noise of a lost,
Sad, desperate world
To rejoin you to himself
He paid in His own Blood!
So do not let the noisy flood
Of a lost culture
Destroy your Joy-filled Hope
Of an eternal paradise insured
Thru faith in our Christ’s cross!!
Not Just Candy on the Top
Shining, glorious
On top
That bright red
Cherry
Gleaming, glistening
On top of whipped crème
A most delicious berry
Just a nice add-on
Makes it more enticing
Milkshake underneath
Solid, frothy
Coming closer to being
Desired
But tis an unnecessary
Thing
Does not decrease
Or increase
The shake beneath
Or detract from its
Power
To make us wish it
To devour
I sometimes think
Of God & Christ
We have made
Like that cherry
That piece on top
of stuff
A small enhancement,
Merely a small piece
Of fluff
In comparison to
That solid milkshake
Rest of our lives
Are we really going to
Wait until our body dies
To see reality,
God’s importance,
Why wait until that time
Of crisis?
Today, make God
The solid majority
Of your life
Desire most
The Lord
Of all the angelic hosts
The center of your being
As ephemeral you become
& more fleeting!

I got to ride my bike again today on a longer ride, almost ten miles. It’s my new hobby, and I love it! I am a 2X cancer survivor, and I’m grateful God lets me enjoy the bike riding. Each day feels like a gift to still be able to enjoy life with my family & friends. May God bless your day. Praise Him for his grace and mercy!!
Also I could not resist this photo of some beautiful, massive old sycamore trees at the water’s edge. In winter without the leaves, you can see their white bark even better. Have a good day!
