Step one, the first steps...
So Joyful was I of every single stride,
Impossible for me to hold back my teary eyed fatherly pride...

Not much more through the years could I have said with genuine adulation,
At times though a fathers words unspoken, will express volumes about his deepest hearts jubilation...

A balance of tenderness tempered with sympathy, things that have to take first place.
Discipline... must come in a way that will heal without any harmful trace.

To be a father is sincerely like nothing else,
To actually understand what our heavenly father feels and makes his heart melt...

Fatherhood, Fatherhood to me please be kind,
I beg you make the memories of my child's heart always desire to rewind...

1 Corinthians 13:8a

8 Love never fails.

In this house we do not know flexibility,
Neither do we experience any real tranquility...

We turn down willing love that is given in freeness,
We get by pretending this is purely ingenius...

In this house we do not bow to any,
A disdained nod is more than plenty...

Solitary is the place we live,
Because it’s an inch we just won’t give...

Now arrived the hour of the crash before the fall,
Who now will be standing tall?

The realization of this preoccupation is all in the dysfunctional imagination,
Until too late do we not get the true interpretation...

If the abode of haughty pride is where you spend your  every day,
Remember please at the end the bill is hefty that you’ll have to pay...


J.I.F.

Proverbs 16:18,19
Pride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.  19 Better to be humble among the meek Than to share the spoil of the haughty.

In the day those without faith think least,
That’s the day he will put in motion the prophesied wild beast.

Peace and security will come but not at their actual hands,
It’s the kings from the rising of the sun that bring about those final commands...

When the general thinking is the sky today looks clearly blue...
This is when he will make crystal clear what he intends to do...

Crashing down, the infamous harlot will completely burn,
Yes, this is what his righteous family does wholeheartedly yearn!

From mid-heaven down to the earth no place will be found...
Nowhere to hide from his judgement voice that the WORD will ultimately sound...

At the end of this day all wickedness will cease to a halt,
So (now) is the time best to practice being found without any fault...

No time will there be to rewind those fixable mistakes we continued to put off,
The hour is now to accept responsibility in one unhesitant quaff...

Thereafter, LIFE for those found clean and bright...
He guarantees them no enemy will be a match for his holy spirits might!

It is written that no one but he knows the actual day and hour,
Except perhaps his son to whom he has given all authority and power...

When exactly will it come, this we do not know?
But to those hearing with their heart, he now lifesaving truth does bestow...


J.I.F.

Revelation 16:12
The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great river Eu·phraʹtes, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the rising of the sun.

Matthew 24:21
for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.

Crack Crash Boom!
Was that for me specifically, probably not...
However my nerves are trembling also ******* in a knot...

It’s that sound that we automatically relate to Gods disapproval and his desire that we do better,
The sound that instantly reminds us that we are everyones debtor...

Once it subsides we feel some relief,
But we do ponder our actions and how they pair with our belief...

We know that love is the motive for everything he does,
Yet the fear that it evokes is nothing less than a reverential buzz...

Thunder that booming sound that comes from the sky’s above,
For although we may not think it at first,
it is truly Gods wonderful voice of love.

J.I.F.


JOB 37:5

God thunders with his voice in a wonderful way; He does great things that are beyond our understanding.

Bad is good and good is bad...
Some things that start out happy do also become incredibly sad...

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is present,
Does it mean a life that is invisibly distraught somehow will become very pleasant?

If everyone in a room agrees with what the outcome should be,
Is love then shown more abundant and naturally?

Just because something hurtful is clearly visible to the naked emotion,
Does it mean you are anything more than a teardrop in a vast ocean?

Many riddles in life are puzzling though the answers are always inwardly perfect and clear...
If the only choice is obvious shouldn’t our hand continue going up to the auctioneer?

Loved life so much that I had to die,
Ready to go my way now captain,
aye aye...


J.I.F.


JOB 7:13-16

13 When I say, ‘My couch will comfort me; My bed will help ease my misery,’  14 Then you terrify me with dreams And frighten me with visions, 15 So that I would choose suffocation, Yes, death rather than this body of mine.  16 I loathe my life; I do not want to go on living. Leave me alone, for my days are like a breath.

It happened in an instant as quick as a blink,
There I was minding my own business then all of a sudden I started to sink...

All things around me we’re crashing about,
It was too horrifying a sight so I started to
pass out...

Was it a dream of sorts or was it reality,
Or was it some kind of heightened realm involving my spirituality...?

I tossed I turned as the walls around me started to burn,
This was a place to which I’d never want to return!

Turbulent tribulation everyday all around,
My entire existence has finally run aground!

Did it all start at my life’s inception,
Or was it all someone’s sadistic deception?

Crash we all will it’s as inevitable as it is rife,
A collision course is on its way, a collision corse with life.


J.I.F.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

11 I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.

Who really is a true friend?
It’s someone that comes to your aid when the chips of life are down and does defend...

They will not allow any negative talk that destroys your worth, But will speak out words of wisdom that will give your character clarity and new birth...

Are there really such friends on this treacherous earth,
individuals that exist with such genuine purity of heart?
Ones with loyalty
that is off the standard friend chart?

There perhaps are only a few,
The one I know is you...


Proverbs 17:17
17 A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of (distress.)
