Innocent lives for innocent lives
makes absolutely no sense to me

All lives matter
regardless of color or gender,
religious beliefs or occupation,
language, country of origin
or anything else

Remembering the innocent private citizens killed
in the recent shootings by police officers
and
remembering the innocent police officers killed
while attempting to protect private citizens

they were all people

I originally wrote this a week or so ago after the Dallas, Texas shootings but decided not to post it, hoping that it would be an isolated incident. Sadly it was not, now with the Baton Rouge shootings.

Is this where we are going?

The Faithful Dreamer

Until The New And Coming Reign

Little children should not die,
while their mother cold and dead does lie.
This is not how it's supposed to be.

People should not be running in fear for their lives,
from the threat of terrorists and bloodshed.
This is not how it's supposed to be.

Families should not be broken.
Marriages should not be ending.
Children should not be starving.
This is not how it's supposed to be.

Love should not be growing cold.
Growing
cold.
But we live in a fallen world.
A world without God.
A world where evil reigns.
Until the New and Coming Reign.
When the Evil One will be forever restrained.
And the King of Kings shall take His rightful claim.
To sit upon the Throne.
And establish Love again.
In the New and Coming Reign.

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD

---
when every last vestige of
your humanity seems to be
a jigsaw puzzle game
strewn across the universe
with no possibility of
retrieval
of all pieces

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD

when rage accosts the
very center of your heart
like a home invasion
taking with it
all the
milk of human kindness

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD

when your flowers die
in a blight of ice
the very roots
frozen in the tundra
and spring becomes winter
in the space of an hour

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD

when worry wrings your brain
like a fishwife with a towel
doubt lays a crooked wall
using your bones as a trowel
fear is a raven which
travels with the owl

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD

when evil wells out
of every pore of your existence
like sludge drained from
the bottom of a
juggernaut

TANK

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD!

for Jesus Christ is the
puzzle piece
which restores
the entire game

---

He's the peace which
passes all understanding

the joy which is our strength

---

He is the
Rose of Sharon
which has no time nor season
but blooms eternally

---

He is the mechanic
who made all destruction
and will

DESTROY THE WORKS OF DARKNESS

KEEP

YOUR

MIND

UPON

♡ JESUS CHRIST ♡

I've been writing quite a bit about the storm to come. But not enough about the solution. Jesus Christ is that solution. The government can't help you. Don't go to any camps. Your own power can't help you. Your Own Strength can't help you. No matter how brilliant you are your brain can't help you. Your money can't help you. If something is broken in your car who do you think you'd want to see? A mechanic. If something is broken in your life wouldn't you want to see the One who created it?
Knows the every working of your universe
Inside and out?

A friend of mine prompted me to write this. I was not going to write another piece today. But the Holy Spirit has been insistent. I want people to read this on Sunday morning.

Have a beautiful day!

And remember

KEEP YOUR MIND UPON THE LORD!

Can't Help But Wonder

I can't help but wonder
About the oddest things
Like what's the sense in 9/10 of a percent
In the price of gasoline

Or how did the fly
Get the name fly
When they were passing out bug names
Was he the first in line

And does it make a flower sad
When from the ground it's plucked
Then does the same flower laugh
When it's given away in love

Why has green always meant go
And red meant to stop
But yellow has changed over the years
To you'd better haul ****

And if the saying
Money doesn't grow on trees
Why at the grocery
Nothing is free

If you don't think
You know what I mean
Just look around
You too will be wondering

Living by the River

She sits from where
the rainbow arches into the river.

As I eye her fishing net
she reads the question in my mind.

I'm waiting for three thirty
when tides begin to fall
but the shrimps can't go back.

When the bank begins to bare
she glides into the waves
till the water cools her *******.

I walk away knowing
she would bob up to the hour
the moon is upon her face
and she has made another morrow
from the river.

Black and Blue

What for you need a pen that writes black?
The man at the counter shot back
What has the blue done to offend you?

Look up the firmament
Over there the kingfisher
Once I had been to the sea
She was blue
Surely you prefer over black
A blue saree for her
So many men have staked their life
For the blue eyes of women

And then as if volleying the winning goal

Why not color all your wishes with blue
To paint the world blue-wish?

As I turned to walk away
My eyes caught the writing on his wall..

Black ink for the black heart
For the fool and the dull
Blue for the man of art
With matter in the skull

I had come to the wrong shop.

When Christians were persecuted in biblical times they would identify each other with the symbol of the fish.

It is the symbol of Christianity to this day.
