I couldn't put my finger on it,
something about him I didn't like.
These were the days that I was
in love with Mike.
He was nice.
He was respectful--
kind and polite.
He was educated,
unique, but not my type.
I wasn't crazy,
I was just young,
still a baby.
Didn't know the difference
between what was good and what was shady?
He was a beautiful man
who loved God--
used the Bible as his
fishing rod.
My blind eyes couldn't see,
he knew he had often annoyed me.
"Come to our bible study,"
but I wasn't ready, my life
wasn't clean, it was still muddy.
God took his hand off the spiritual man
and left me alone--there was no more Dan.
No more invites and no more slights.
I thought I was doing "okay, alright."
But now that I look back on my life,
God was trying to save me from stress and strife.

It's a New Day
No worries, no pain from yesterday
got a feeling that today is my day!
Going to pick the old me up off this bed--
no longer crying and seeing red!
I'm not in the mood to lend a listening ear
to gloom.
Don't have the energy to share my space
with doom!
Not today.
Taking time for my Lord!
Sharpening my sword.
Got a plan in my hand
won't let it sink in sand
(At least not this time
spending my last dime!)
Walking on a pathway of peace
while praying for foolishness to cease,
I held my hand up
and the Lord took my cup--
said I wouldn't be needing this
something I thought I'd miss--
it was yesterday's troubles
sitting in bubbles.
Today is my day!
So I will sit and pray,
whatever the Lord wills
come what may!

Lonely? Remember to Pray
It's a lonely world when one is broken. People don't know how many tears you have cried behind closed doors. They smile and show their support to your face or cut your throat from behind your back. Yet, you have to be strong through it all. You have to save your dignity, swallow your pride, and balance your weight or you might fall.
It's a lonely world when the lights go out and everyone is in bed, except you. It's 3 a.m. and you are wondering if tomorrow will be a better day. There are times when you wish tomorrow never comes. You watch the sunrise and still you hurt inside, nothing has changed over night.
God seems so far away.
It is important at this very moment to build your faith in God. Talk to Him like you would a human being. It may seem foolish talking to an empty chair, but one positive thing about it, it doesn't argue, fuss or fight back.
Let God hear the cries of your spirit and then move on! Preoccupy yourself with the best that life has to offer. Do not put yourself in captivity by doing anything that would cause you to be dependent on the object, substance or thing. As you know, prescription medicines, illegal drugs, promiscuity, violent television, and ungodly books, just to name a few, may provide temporary relief, but in the long run you will have made a bargain with the devil. A price that you will pay with your life or the life of another in the short or long-term depending on how much life you got left.
Please remember to pray.

God is Rocking the Boat! Do you have your life-jacket on?
Notice the increase of devil signs, dark symbolism, and evil behavior lately from people you wouldn't expect? There is something happening in the spiritual realm and it isn't pleasant. There is an evil lurking and yes, it's out to kill, steal and destroy everyone in its path including those who praise his name.
This is why we must,
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight." -- Proverbs 3:5-6
If you are a believer, you can identify with the presence of the evil one, but you remain unaffected by him when it comes to your belief system for you know who you are in Christ. My fellow believer, you are going to continue to love your Creator until the day you die! Yet, those around you who are on the fence, you know the type that loves God today when money is placed in his or her hand, but could do without him tomorrow, when money is taken from he or she, this person is under judgment. He or she is going to have to make good on "Hallelujah" and "Praise God" statements. Mercy is being lifted off many people who we all thought were: "good people," "wonderful" and "kind." There inner circle knows differently!
We tend to equate goodness with how much a person does for us and how nice they treat us; however, God sees the heart. Don't you know you can smile in someone's face while holding a knife behind your back and the individual in front of you would never suspect that you were out to murder him or her? Well, that's what some of your family members, friends, beloved entertainers, and co-workers are doing with their words and deeds to God and his people when you aren't looking. Meanwhile, you are deceived into believing they are believers! Thank God, you have angels working on your behalf to protect you and your family! If you haven't asked God for divine protection lately, you better!

Poem: Man's Opinion
The world was created long before man
but he has an opinion on everything
doesn't he?
Weak in mind, body and spirit
denies a creator
doesn't believe in the Bible
don't like ministers
won't give to a church
always got an opinion on everything.
He shuts others out
won't let them speak
loves to argue
tells lies
looks like a fool.
When they don't vote for him
hire him
sex him
praise him
promote him...
He yells,
"Vote or die!"
pushes his way
through crowds
runs over the elderly
steals from the youth
abuses babies.
He needs a dark god
mafia
money
to fight for him!
Weak-minded
double-minded
confused.
He performs
reacts
kicks his feet like a child
to make his meaningless point
defending nothing
to get everything!
His opinion
his thought
his idea
his death!
And the world will still go around
long after him!
Without...
his false light
his brainwashed study
his faulty research
his hyped degree
his blood money
his nasty attitude.
his dumb opinion!
So yes I will pray
yes I will believe in a Creator
yes I will have morals
yes I will take a stand against evil vices
and I won't be controlled
by threats
by manipulation
by mind control
by the dollar!
That's my opinion.
