You CAN make it

When life seems tough and dreary and you're kinda getting weary
of the struggles that make your mind a battle ground.
And if you're  tired of fighting and fighting.
You just feel like alighting from this train that's kingdom bound.


Well remember God has called you cause he knows he can support you,
and besides, He'd never let you down.
He is confident you'll  make it and assured that
you can take it, He really wants you to wear the crown.


So keep on, don't stop striving and before you know it you'll  be thriving on love (He won't apply the brakes).
For God knows what he is doing and if you trust everything to him,
you'll find that He never makes mistakes.

What a world we live in

This week we have rioting in Baltimore. This is becoming more frequent in America and we know where it is leading. 

What a World We Live In

What a world we live in
Who could not wait to see
God's kingdom to replace it
And bring us sanity

Everyone is searching
For something more in life
But no one wants to listen
When you tell them what is right

Governments are failing
Can't solve their nation's woes
The reason is rebellion
And not following God's laws

Families divided
Delinquents everywhere
Abuse requires “helplines”
Drugs are a panacea

So soon mankind will suffer
Because they wouldn't learn
Then the Lord will be here
Still some refuse to turn

What a world we live in
Yet no one turns to God
He has all the answers
He made us, after all!

A Passover Poem

Passover Reflections

He didn't have to take the pain

For all he knew it could have been in vain

Yet something we can't comprehend

Made him persist until the end

Misunderstood for 30 years

His closest friends knew not his fears

He had a fight to overcome

Yet in face of hunger this was done

Such love as this is hard to find

That one would suffer for another's crime

Not knowing if mankind would claim

This olive branch grown out of pain

So at this time we pause to reflect

And consider all, lest we forget

How Jesus Christ did sacrifice

In order that we might have life.
