My four children gave me this Bible as a gift in December of 1993. I had been going through a pretty rough period of my life and that gift really turned my life around and sent me back in the right direction. So this particular Bible has a special place in my heart.

Life is Worth Living
Life is worth livingWhen it’s lived in God.Life is worth livingWhen it’s not a fraud. Tenderly, patiently,Our Lord waits for usTo get on His sideAnd onto His bus. He has a plan andA purpose for us,To follow His lead,Place in Him our trust. Died He for our sins,Forgiven in Him,So we walk in Him,No longer … Continue reading Life is Worth Living
Sun Rays on a Cloudy Day
Sun rays on a cloudy dayBright stars on a dark nightFresh water in a fierce stormCool breeze when the sun’s warm Birds singing as the waves crashClouds part as the fog blocksMoon shining through a cool mistSeems that but is it this?

The Tapestry
The tapestry was marvelous,Well done, and was not frivolous.All shown to fit together wellFor all who on the earth do dwell. For God had His design in mindIn hopes that Him the people find.He showed Himself to everyoneThrough His created works, well done. But humans have a different mind,And therefore not all God do find.For … Continue reading The Tapestry
What’s Your Purpose?
What’s Your Purpose? Why you be?Are you trapped? Or are you free?In and out is where you are?Sometimes nearer? Sometimes far? Broken record played each time?Nothing changes, not in time?Worn out efforts do not workSo you angry? So you irk? What’s the purpose, shrink from all?You no courage? You no gall?Run away is your escape?You’re … Continue reading What’s Your Purpose?

Wayward Children
Wayward children, wandering souls,Thoughtless people, varying roles,Walk in darkness, seeing no light,For from Jesus, taken their flight. Have no mercy, walking in sin,Self-indulgent, drinking their gin,All about them, not about God,But the many wear a façade. Put a mask on, others impress,Think they’re being such a success,But they’re not, for time they do waste,For the … Continue reading Wayward Children
It’s Passing Away
The world as we know it is passing away.Corrosion, corruption have come here to stay.The lies and deceptions are plain as can be.They capture the multitudes; few are now free. They kill and they trick and they lie through their teeth.They think they’re above, but they’re really beneath.So many believe them, who fall for their … Continue reading It’s Passing Away
Clouds and Thunder
Clouds and thunder, days of hunger,Enemies lurking, liars working,Not good fellows, armies bellow,All asunder, bad men blunder. Time is ticking, truth not clicking,Faith in God to wise men sticking.Foolishness is now accepted,Truth of God is intercepted. Truth and lies now interchanging,For the gospel rearranging,Good is evil, evil good,For the truth not understood. Jesus said that … Continue reading Clouds and Thunder
