On Fire
Burning cross
On a hill
Your voice
Rings out
To tell us still
Of a Savior’s heart
So full of passion
And fire
Never will Christ stop
Or ever tire
Of pouring His love
Upon this earth
To light His
Glorious fire
Within His church
So his family
May lead
Darkened hearts
To see
Their Savior
On a burning cross
Seeking to save
All & every of
The eternally lost.
I was able yesterday to get some fairly decent video footage of some great blue herons that are nesting near our house on the walking trail that goes right by a river. I think it’s amazing that these large magnificent birds would build nests in the middle of a city where they’re so close to people and the noise of traffic, but they did.
Normally, you see them standing alone and solitary at the edge of the creeks and river’s banks looking for small fish which is their primary food source. They are so large, and I did not know they built their nests at the top of very, very tall trees. The nests are large, two to three feet in diameter, and they are sitting on their eggs. I love to watch them take off and land on their nest. Their wing span looks to be about at least three feet wide, maybe more. They are a grey blue in color with an orange colored beak.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video and have a blessed day. Praise God!
Been To Hell
I have been to hell
& I can truly tell
You do not want to go there
I have known
Nothingness
No words can express
Such a horror
In my life, it was the
Most severe of tests
At such a fresh, young age
Life at its very start
No joy, light or hope
Was there to fill
My very frightened heart
Known have I a complete
Vacuum of love
Dark void, satan’s hate
Empty was the space upon
My very first plate
Until I was allowed
To look up
A light began to stir
From a place above, afar
Beautiful, unknown before
Glistening, a hopeful star
Waiting.
All I had to do was try
& reach
You did the rest
& came to teach,
Love, fill
For You had a deep darkness
To kill
& You did, Lord Jesus
You Did!!
Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You, Lord God
Praise You, Holy Spirit
God has the power to raise you above any circumstance in your life but you must receive it, let Him fill you with Himself. You must let go of yourself and this world. He loves you passionately, profoundly and completely. Praise God!!!
Winter Whites
Winter always reminds me of white -- purity. I don’t know, maybe because that’s when it snows the most. Things always seem to slow down.
The frantic growing of spring and summer is absent. The earth seems
to be taking a rest.
Less rushing around
Time to let go
More repose
Be slow
More inner reflection
Look for a higher direction
For my thoughts
Be enveloped by
Peaceful stillness
Make it an endeavor most earnest
Go deeper into myself
That inner me
I usually place upon a shelf
As I rush around
Get to know God’s peace that
Passes understanding.
Come, Lord Jesus, come.
Recreate your world and Leave your peace and repose!

If you are not willing to sacrifice anything (time, energy, Money, pleasure) to follow Christ then you do not love Him.
John 14:15 15“Ifyouloveme, keep my commands.
Matt 16:24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
