A still small voice spoke to me last night,
inviting me to the Eternal Light!

I have prayed fervently:  “Lord, my soul to keep!”
then rolled under the covers and went back to sleep.

Disobedience is humankind's downfall...
we constantly fail to heed the call.

Straining and striving to reach our peak,
we ignore the call and play Hide and Seek.

Nothing ever satisfies us; we're left High and Dry...
empty inside,  no matter what we try!

Be Faithful to what we've heard and read!
But fail to awaken and get out of our bed.

Life is fleeting like a vapor.
We're going to be  judged; did we love our neighbor?

In the end, only Love will  last!
Everything's else is destined to pass.

Regret is a terrible burden to carry.
Trust in The Lord!  Do not tarry!

That still small voice may never speak again.
This may be your last chance.  Amen.

“It was three weeks after fasting,
I was praying with heart and soul:
pleading to The Lord that He help me,
that He hasten to me and console;

then one day in April as I stood by a mighty river:
I looked and suddenly there before me appeared a
vision that caused be to shiver!

The vision was about to speak to me,
I grew pale and weak with fright-
then fell to the ground face downward
unable to bear the sight.

His eyes were like pools of fire,
had feet and armed like polished brass.
And like the sound of a mass of people
His voice roared strong and vast.

He placed his hands upon me.
I was lifted up from the ground;
My knees began to tremble,
as the voice began to resound:

'Oh Dear Daniel, beloved of God,
listen to what I have to say:
Do not fear for I have been sent here
to answer your prayer this day!

Soon a might battle will come to pass,
evil powers will fight against The Lord;
but God's faithful will hold firm until the end...
then the righteous shall receive their reward at last.


Adapted from the Book of Daniel,
Chapter 10 - The living Bible.

Will we ever stop to praise and thank you Love,

as we muddle through our days?

We are consumed by idol worship,

addicted to the current craze.

You are the creator of all things, thus,

we are instructed to believe;

but it's much too hard a concept,

for us to accept or conceive.

The Alpha and Omega are calling...

the power from which we came;

all else is destined to vanish, only love,

in the end, will remain.

Unaware of where we are headed,

opened eyes that cannot see...

deceived by worldly pleasures,

do we really want to be set free?

Here are a few ideas to do;
you'll feel better about you.

Make them your daily goals;
they're good for body, mind, an soul:

Be compassionate, generous,
and considerate.

When you give a gift;
you'll both benefit.

Hike in nature,
its reward is in your favor.

Watch a sunset;
It will help you forget.

Exercise more;
your health will soar.

Converse with a  stranger;
its benefit is a game-changer.

Take a deep breath of air;
it'll make you more aware.

Listening to relaxing music
will uplift your spirit.

Take the time to expend;
connect with a long lost friend.

Dance in the rain to your favorite song;
It will attract the throngs!

Smiling is a stimulus.
Laughter is contagious.

Eat dark chocolate;
it won't hurt your diet!

A mindset of playing,
is better than complaining.

Do what you love today;
tomorrow may be another D-Day.

Soak yourself in the sunlight;
it will change dreary to bright.

You may say this work is negative; however, there's an important message which I hope you'll get from its reading.
AND NOW, THE END IS NEAR, THE TIME TO FACE THE FINAL CURTAIN. MY FRIEND, IT'S BEEN CLEAR, MY DESTINY, SECURED AND CERTAIN. I LIVED A LIFE OF FAITH,  I'VE TRAVELED WIDE AND NARROW HIGHWAYS, AND MORE, MUCH MORE THAN THIS, I DID IT GOD'S WAY.

REGRETS, I'VE HAD A FEW, BUT THANK THE LORD, TOO FEW TO MENTION. I DID WHAT WAS RIGHT TO DO AND FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS. I PLANNED A CHARTERED COURSE TOOK CAREFUL STEPS ALONG THE BYWAY, AND MORE, MUCH MORE THAN THIS, I FOLLOWED GOD'S WAY.

YES, THERE WERE TIMES, I'M SURE YOU KNEW, WHEN I SAID AND DID WHAT I OUGHT NOT TO DO...BECAME CONFUSED AND FILLED WITH DOUBT; YOU SHOWED THE WAY AND THINGS TURNED OUT. I HEARD YOUR CALL, AND I STOOD TALL, AND FOLLOWED GOD'S WAY.

I'VE HAD MY UPS. I'VE HAD MY DOWNS. I HAD SOME WINS, MY SHARE OF LOSING. AND NOW, AS I LOOK BACK, THOSE TIMES I STRAYED, MADE LIFE CONFUSING.
TO THINK, I DID ALL THAT,  BUT SADLY SAY, MOSTLY THE HARD WAY...SAVED MY HIS GRACE, LEFT NOT A TRACE,  FOR THAT IS GOD'S WAY.

FOR WHAT IS A MAN WHAT HAS HE GOT?  IF NOT THE LORD IN THE NUMBER ONE SPOT!  HE'LL NEVER KNOW OR TRULY FEEL, TO LIVE IS TO LOVE AND SERVE AND KNEEL!
THE RECORDS SHOWS WHEN WILL WE KNOW TO FOLLOW GOD'S WAY? FOLLOW GOD'S WAY.

I was compelled to change the lyrics of Frank Sinatra's famous song, My Way to God's Way which is my story. Should you be so inclined, you can sing it to the same arrangement as his recording.
Let me know your thoughts!
Let us remember today how much
God has loved us all.
And let us remember today
why Jesus Christ was born.

Love He told us in which to abide.
Love the reason He was crucified.

Este dia te recibimos Dios
en nuestro corazon.
Para darnoa vida eterno,
el Padre te mando.

Amor un regalo que uno puede dar.
El vino para nuestros pegados pagar.

Love, the greatest gift that one could give.
Love, is how we all were made to live.

Today love was born in Bethlehem
let us all come celebrate!

Our Savior and Lord of all The Christ,
Our New Born King!

Love each other is what we must do.
Love why Jesus came and died for you.

Let us remember today how much
God has loved us.
And let us remember today,
why Jesus Christ was born.

This is what Christmas is only about...everything else, in my opinion, is *******!
