Only The Most


Only The Most

Of life it could be said
Mostly is it about
Relationships
So until I reach the end
Of this, my earthly trip
Probably for me
That is the truth

Father, mother
Sisters, brothers
Friends, strangers
You will meet or
Just pass
Along the way
Schools, jobs,
Sidewalks on
Each, every day

But
Of all relationships
There is THE ONE
THE MOST IMPORTANT
Of this let me be
Oh so adamant
And unfortunately
Of all others you have
Within this lost world
It can be
The most discordant
A broken world’s mind
Will fight to destroy
Your bonds most Divine

It is the one you have
With
Your Creator God
Your Gracious, Holy Father
And
His Son, Jesus Christ!
Of this, I can be
No more exact or certain
No more precise

Everything down here
On this earth is temporary
Of all our God's great truths
None of them of this fact
Would be the least contrary
So take a few moments
To think of your relationship
With God's eternity
And you too may be allowed
To enter thru heaven's gates
Into Christ's loving infinity!

Violin Master

Lord Jehovah, God
Fine tune my soul
To respond to you
As the violin's master
Its strings do command
So may only your hands
Tips of Your fingers
Pull forth the music
From my life

Each note a result
Of just your skill
Your knowledge
Your beauty
Your graciousness
So a listening world's ears
May receive a taste
Of the glory
The beauty of Your face!

PRAISE YOU LORD GOD PRAISE YOU!

U!


U

U healed our diseases
U raised our dead
Drove out darkest demons
Fed us until it became clear
Of U, is there
Nothing ordinary
Nothing mere

U grew and grew in power
Until man's authority
(held in satan's grip)
Of u began to fear
Staked u to a cross
Took ur life so dear
And then,
In ignorance so sheer
At ur last breath
Did they cheer,
Did they sneer
(at ur last sigh
Sent themselves
To hell to reside)

So let us not today
Do the same
Crown Christ
As your only King
As our voices
In heaven may ring
Dear Lord Jesus
To glorify and praise
Only U!!

PSALM 150:6 LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD!

Haiku for a Sunny Spring Day!

Today in Middle Tennessee it very cold but oh, the sun is out so bright. It at least looks very beautiful. It had been fairly warm for this time of year so a lot of the flowering trees are already in bloom and a few buttercups were out. I just hope this short cold snap doesn’t damage all the small flowers. Anyway, it is pretty outside. I just wanted to share a quick Haiku below with you. May God bless your day!

Haiku for a Spring Morning
(even though it’s very cold)

Spring’s sun warms the earth
Christ’s love lights the darkest soul
God’s great grace fills both!!

His Power Over The Darkness!

I know in this world, especially in our very wealthy, money-oriented culture that is so in love with money, possessions, and pleasure, we have a tendency to deny or neglect the spiritual aspects of our lives. We are truly spirits only temporarily connected to our physical shell.

I have had several supernatural experiences, and what I guess I’m trying to lead up to is I have had three encounters with demons, very dark creatures.

The first happened many years ago when I was going through a very dark time in my life but trying to draw closer to Christ and God and the Holy Spirit. I woke up one night and a dark mass felt like it was laying on my chest. I was afraid and all I could think to do was say “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” It immediately was gone, left.

The second encounter was when I was on my first round of chemotherapy for my breast cancer. I was sleeping in an old recliner and suddenly woke up. I looked down and this dark person was laying on top of me. I think it was trying to look like me as a child. It looked up at me, smiled a perverted smile and asked, “Susie, what are you trying to do with this book.” I naturally was frightened but again said, “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” Within a heartbeat, it was gone. I was at the time working on a novel which I have finished about the divisions within our Christian churches or the denominations we have created.

The third experience came about while I was still suffering fatigue from all the cancer treatments. One night I was awake, and suddenly, a strong looking man was in the room with me. He had no color to him at all. He was black with shades of gray. I said, “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” He said to me, “No, it doesn’t work that way.” I immediately yelled for a second time, “Oh yes, it does. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” And he disappeared instantaneously.

In all three experiences, each creature reeked, literally smelled, of evil, violent destruction. There is nothing good about satan or demons. The only thing that got rid of them was to speak or call upon the name of Jesus Christ! Praise you Lord Jesus for the beauty of your face, your great and loving heart and also for your wonderful power and authority over everything in creation. Bless you Lord!! Thank you for your salvation from all of satan’s schemes against us.

The Shaken!


The Shaken

It is for this
I long
I sigh
Not I
That lives
But
Christ that lives
Within me

This gift
Not from us
It is Heaven's
Holiest decree
Comes about
Thru submission
On bended knee

So give God as much
As you can
He gave His passion's best
To each woman
Every man
For this we should
Do our best
And
Come To understand
Without Christ's giving
There would have been
For us no taking
And now
In our today,
Evil's hold
On all our souls
Has at last been
Eternally SHAKEN!!
