Wow, simple so even I can understand…

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:21
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 2:3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Ezekiel 33:2-5
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: [3] If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; [4] Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. [5] He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

Some Christians today are shy and secret about their faith.
God desire His children to be "salt and light" in this world.

Salt for purification and preservation, light for illumination and transformation.

God's Word is what does the work to save, secure and salvage the lives of all who come to Christ... it is our part as Christians to share and spread the Gospel, warning and witnessing of the coming judgement upon our sinful world and those who are lost.

Quite simply, it's our job to sound the alarm and warn of God's coming wrath, as the prophets and people of old.

This poem was written with that in mind:

“Hear the Herald of the Trumpet”

Herein I sound the trumpet
Loud and long for all to hear
Warning of the Lord’s justice
Coming upon all those down here

Salvation’s available to all you see
God’s grace spreads far and wide
Jesus came to seek and save
For man’s sin He bled and died

Please listen, oh please hear me
Seems life just goes on void of care
But God, the Righteous Judge will cast
Each one's due their life's choice did bear

One by one we’ll stand before
A Holy and Untainted Lord
Frightful sight or in glad adore
We choose which we will afford

Again I send this trumpet blast
The whole earth may hear and warn
Turn to Christ from sin’s damning grasp
His blood your wrongs covering adorn

Strive to reach all those you can
Family, friends and loved ones dear
That they may stand before God’s Throne
“Welcome My child” from God can hear

All who know Jesus as their Saviour, have a duty to warn those that don’t… If not, God’s Word says they’ll have blood upon their hands.

Aug 18, 2006

Today’s date in 2006, did not go down as a day of infamy here on earth.

However, in heaven, there was a greeting and welcome from Jesus Christ to one of His children and servants.

20 years have passed since my wife of 10 1/2 years went to heaven. Cured of a 2nd bout of cancer and fear of its return no longer to linger.

Some joys, sorrows, dreams and disappointments she had, yet still a smile that lit up the room.

——————

Now in the presence of her Saviour, she came to know the eve of January 1st 1996, after I shared with her Christ’s love, mercy and forgiveness available to her.

You and I continue to live bound by time, but there comes a meeting and reunion when time shall be no more. Till then, we remember and reflect upon how she touched and enriched our lives.

——————

“Time”

It’s where all our start begin
Then goes quickly on again
Ushered in but not for long
Lingering note of sorrow song
Counting days give way to years
Joyful moments becoming tears
Seconds, months unto decades
Memories made but slowly fades
Cherish each as transcended be
Life’s prized time doth quickly flee

——————

Life isn’t only about how long one lives, but how full we make the time we have… be it a long or short duration.

Don’t miss or waste what you have now, for in a moment it may be gone and become a missed memory.

Proverbs 20:2-8
[2] The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul. [3] It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. [4] The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. [5] Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. [6] Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? [7] The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. [8] A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

Sometimes we look and think we see, but only to find it’s not what be…

Be careful not to quickly cast judgement or harsh assessments, there’s usually more there than meets the eye!

Saw this fella, crouched and hiding as the rain was falling, so I went to writing a poem on my thoughts that ensued.

Hope it’ll help avert wrongful condemnation and bring about compassion for those in need of help.

“The Crabby Crow”

Here be this ole black crow
Seems a dark and crabby soul
Not much drawn to like of him
His scowling and countenance grim
Day after day life’s joys effaced
Intrinsic value scarce find a place.

But should you pause to inquire
You may find his desire to aspire
To be more than those of his kind
Many quick to cast a slighted eye
Void of foundation as to why it be
No facts to judge is found you see.

Perhaps if we were too as he
How different our thoughts likely be
Longing for any beneath surface gaze
Or forced walk according same ways
Allowing light to shine for truth reveal
What to most sadly blind is concealed.

A life lesson here is worth we all to learn
Before judgement made and freely spurn
Much below unknown doth shed a light
The story thought known of darkest night
But watchful eye and heart search had
One too would care and make them glad.

——————

Care enough to wait, to think, to consider… what if it were you being gazed upon!

Something I wrote 6yrs ago...

“Divisions”

Division comes to one and all,
Could be large or very small,
Of one comes two, three or more,
As life we strive to vast explore,
Separated, but unto what?

We part from one to join afar,
Drifting within oft sadly are,
Our focus here upon the globe,
Eternity scarce be our vogue,
Looking, but unto who?

Land’s abode we each shall leave,
Thought tightly grasped all do cleave,
That lies ahead the scriptures tell,
Our destine be in heaven or hell,
Seeking, but unto where?

Many alone though in day’s crowd,
Feel silent’s still amidst the loud,
What will our end of this life be,
From given birth swift eternity,
Desiring, but why?

These varied thoughts I’ve sought myself,
As in life’s books pulled from it’s shelf,
I sought to know and fill void’s need,
Only to find twas God seeking me,
Found, no more but’s!

1 Timothy 1:15-17
[15] This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. [16] Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. [17] Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I’ve found love, grace and forgiveness in Christ and Him alone!

So joyous and grateful to be “in Christ” my Lord!

Lessons for Living

07/31/2026

A poem I wrote several years ago with a timeless message we need more often than perhaps we realize or are willing to acknowledge.

Not only ourselves, but many around us too.

Perhaps it’s you, someone you know, someone who doesn’t see it…

Whoever and however, send them help/hope!
It’s found in a Person and His Name is Jesus.

——————

“Don’t Lose Hope”

Many here neath vast blue sky,
Long to soar where eagles fly,
Dreams and hopes all big and bright,
Reaching forth to make them sight,
Day to night we strive to bring,
Something forth of which we cling,
A thought, idea, plan or scene,
Much more to us than an ole dream.
Don’t lose hope.

A day dawns fresh this morn anew,
Part of our sight comes into view,
Seeking more to bring to pass,
The picturesque displayed at last,
Wait, what’s this that’s come my way,
Hadn’t planned on this today,
Something happens were not a fan,
Sudden we find the shifting sand.
Don’t lose hope.

Dark clouds roar the stormy skies,
Cloud our vision and patience tries,
When will this end our voice doth plea,
Inward cry, Why’s this happening to me?
Hold fast your course for this will pass,
Storms come and go though waters amass,
Sun from the clouds will peak it’s light,
Clearing for us each trouble’s plight.



Genesis 35:3 “And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.”
