Where are we now, in this world of ours?Can we escape? Go to the stars?Take a vacation? Block it all out?Laugh at it all, rather than pout? How will that help? Change anything?Sometimes a break keeps us breathing.Sometimes we need just time to ourselves,Sort through it all, then put on a shelf. For life has … Continue reading Time to Ourselves

When God Calls You
When God calls you to obey Him,Do His will, and not betray Him,Count the cost, ‘twill not be easy,Not for fun, and not be breezy.

Time is Ticking
Time is ticking, ticking by,Birds are singing, babies cry,Hearts are mourning things long dead,Words ill spoken, should not said. So regretful, those who mournOver things should not been born,Wish that they could all erase,And the truth not have to face. We cannot erase the past,Even if we pray and fast.What we did will long live … Continue reading Time is Ticking
Why Do I Do What I Do?
Why do I do what I do each day?Why do I trust God and to Him pray?Why do I give my life up to Him?Why do I live for Him, not for a whim?

Remembering those who gave their livesTo share the truth, and not the lies,Who sacrificed their lives so weFrom sin and self, we would be free. They served us well, if truth be told.They spoke the truth, and they were bold.They were not liked, not by the many.They were the few, and not the plenty. They … Continue reading Remembering
It’s Christmastime
It’s Christmastime all over the world,But what does that mean exactly? Shopping and presents and idols galore?Never yet satisfied. Always want more? Busily, hurriedly, racing for time?Gotta have this gift, and nothing to find? Santa and reindeer now fly through the air,Packing their presents, now done with a flair? Children all googled-eyed, caught by it … Continue reading It’s Christmastime
