This is my declaration of war know it or not we are in a battle life is a battle and when you are the one Getting stomped on you are in distress and hard pressed to make clear decisions by divine entreaty We are called onto love one another and that means coming along side and bearing your burden and Fighting with and for you your life is of many different situations I see mine as a battle field medic and One who reports on the fighting I am like my friend in the service who came back from Nam before he Was a medic but the Cong fixed that now he fought fires along side of the rest of but we were in the Bathroom cleaning up after a fire he had his shirt off and when you were in his prescience his nature Was more than just fragile he was damaged in a life altering sense now I understood as I looked at Several bullet holes wounds on his chest and back that had to be fixed by skin grafts it mapped his love Of country and when boys his age lie wounded and dying they holler medic and then before dying they Gently weep calling on their precious mother far away that always mending their hurts but this time Jesus and His angels rush in to stand by and guard with their love or by lifting up this tired and finished Warrior wrapped in old glories beautiful red white and blue taking him where a flag that stands in the Center of glory land it emblem is a lamb slain on a cross blooded and wounded from his love of his lost Children tears from here to heaven float in the great blackness of our universe perpetually it goes along With this Quote from Keats they never end either his lines say “A thing of beauty is a joy forever its Loveliness increases it will never pass into nothingness” another is two hearts beat as one if you think I’m insincere my tears just fell writing these lines causing hurt again for my wife that must listen but I Rush to your bleeding wounded hearts on a spiritual battle field my bandages are tear soaked to wrap Your wounds as you have cried help medic I cry Jesus in this scene depicts from Daniel Gabriel had come To Daniel’s battle field after Daniel had prayed and fasted twenty one days this is a familiar your story to Most but his is what I want to share it says I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai river calling Gabriel tell This man the meaning of the vision and it goes on to say this was an angel of higher rank come to assist This is another item in my medical bag to help the unknown comes into view in the army there is a chain Of command it is true of the army of God as well you lay wounded God flashes your call of need through The spirit world in your case who is reading this you see me only but as the prophet of old faced an army Of men he feared nothing as he looked on the mighty host of heaven arrayed and fully armed for battle He was the only one that stood between the deaths of these enemies who as you and I only see the Immediate through writing beautiful words and revealing unseen powers I’m going to give you the Power to not be afraid not just words but heavenly beings as your vanguard from your knees alone the Enemy will be put to flight this still comes from looking down a familiar street and in my mind’s eye Seeing your pain and suffering at that moment I was alone in the dark car but worse I felt helpless And alone the thing I did right through great tears and pain I cried and asked God to help me to help Others this is a first in a series to do that very thing one last thing I offer another angel encounter This my own at home in California I lost my Job for some reason I had to go to the bank what fun Money becomes scarce as meat on a skeleton and I go where it is stacked sky high well as I walked Outside and set on the bench away from everyone and everything a man walked up he looked familiar In this since his clothes looked the way I felt they had seen better days and the special thing he was Caring a book just a paperback but it looked like the one I carried I never go out without a book and Lot of times I carry a bag full of them he was friendly easy to listen to he told me that he lived in The hills our towns entry sign and letter head from the city depicts hills the highest Mission Peak As he talked my pressure and wild thoughts settled though we were setting in the sun I felt a comfort You find setting under a great oak I’m not flipping and I’m not advocating hugging trees but I feel The angel was said to speak from the river not a stretch everything in this world is controlled by God First his word alone holds it altogether but beyond that with the extensive reading I have done it Clearly shows angels are first in charge of your lives and your safety but all living things are under their Charge and in a minute I’m going to include two pieces that speak of hill and a great Oak well as all Things do our visit ended and then I knew the person who I had been talking wasn’t a man after all When he said he stayed in the hills meant a lot more I come to this conclusion because this man Interested me in my turmoil he pops up and leaves me with a feeling of well being and then the facts Bare it out we were sitting by this building that sets by itself at a good distance you have small trees that A rabbit couldn’t hide behind and every direction is open country well I fiddled with my book For the briniest moment I guess I was thinking about his I look up and he is gone someone comes into Your life and touches you well one last look would be nice I didn’t run but I briskly walked to the end Of the building I was already at this end he was nowhere to be found shortly after this I wrote this Piece about our church and the church yard just up the street the hills flank the length of the city See if you think his presence lingers and flows on to the page on last thing because of an affliction I am only allowed twenty minutes at a time on the computer legs and feet problem I spent five hours The other day no sleep that night so elated all day and my wife made care giver gives me a taste of Ireland as she screams for me to get off I ran over an hour and a little try to write with the scream of A banshee behind you this was supposed to be a small piece I never write twelve hundred words I said That to say can’t check for errors you can have fun finding my mistakes will fix on my next allotted time You can’t take this to the bank to the bank but I think I suffer from another common malady it’s called Being hen pecked but it the good kind of hurt here is the church piece then the Oak
Shadow of Eden In this savage land we call home There is a pastoral valley that has the richest texture of heaven This treasured sheep gate beckons tenderly says welcome These hills and slopes the repository of our hopes The savior poised in their gentle steeps, for the city weeps Sweet spirit that fills this natural expanse soft as the breeze Each tired weary soul you refresh with a quiet hush We are shown the wisdom of not being in a rush Unseen pillars tower revealing your mighty power Written on the pillars at the world side is come unto me On the church side seek the lost at any cost The Devil expresses defiance the church makes Heaven her alliance Wayward souls tormented seeking an oasis dying of thirst Today we fill these pots of clay and determine to go out of our way Seeking those that hunger and thirst by this Christ we manifest To the world the church is ghostly not completely visible It shimmers as though it isn’t real blindly they feel about In your life they find solid ground clear of the mist They finish a terrible journey now they feed from all their needs freed No longer exhausted from continually milling about The Sheppard stands holy watch and cast a confidant shadow In this respite feeding and richly nourished they grow strong Gladness quietly cascades from spiritual hills of splendor By angles man sees more than just the coarse and obvious he sees the heart of all living things That reveals the heart and Genius of the one that made it all a great package that each newborn Finds he tears a way layer upon layer of wrappings love joy hope possibility of dreams that await And so much more your I just added this you’re never too old to go back to that place where Wonder still remembers you its polite to revisit in fact it is required for good health and a Positive mind where is it now where else would human birth occur except at angel central
Lost Friend This is just a few lines written to celebrate the generations of one Paso Robles family, and their parallel existence with one of nature’s monarchs that was destroyed in recent storm. You will always remain in my mind. I can’t remember when you weren’t watching. Tall strong, graceful shade the bewitching kind. Long ago a fellow relative started your stately reign. This our home place he surveyed. His eye, the land did fill with awe. From this bond through a lowly seed he prayed Bless this spot; many a day has he spoken from the oak. Grandeur over stretched grandmother’s dwelling. We could only marvel at thy great strength. From your great silence serenity you were telling. Shot and blasted against the sky, fireworks of wood. Clothed in rough hardened bark what comfort and wisdom you inspired. Who understands the wonder, my soul you did mark your size triggered the greatest gift, curiosity. Branches the wind passing through what mournful cry Nature’s tune sublime given to delight as only a sad ballad can evoke Nothing else should try To match violins in the sky. My eyes see it in a grand sweep The ground brought forth a stately wooden crown Of blackest oak to stand tall and steep A gentle giant to greet the wayward wind. Two divergent seeds the ground did divide. One of wooden grain the other flesh and blood their branches throughout the community do abide as charming as church bells ringing, touching all. And just one more in case you need it friend if you don’t get it I have lived through some hell in my live now I think it’s time to return The favor I’m going to give hell all the heat I can that is white heat of love to the suffering And oh so awful to him but his fire is going to gage on these pages like the fires I used to Fight in the service as a servant to my country now I’m your servant and I’m fired up I fought Bullies all through school now I plan to fight the biggest one for you
Sorry I think you could use some granite in your fight
Vaulted sky Shaded canyon breathtaking heights does the angry wind speak if so in a whisper the granite peaks austere and bleak seem to frown on the trees and lowly grass lands with their fertility and ease of growth. While he the monarch bristling with his cold barren armor of granite invites the stares the awe inspired gratitude of nature and mortal man he knows there dreams and thoughts how many have stood at the edge of wonder on his brow with fainted hearts. Their thoughts drift out and away ever upward reaching the clouds filled and clothed with mountain air brightly they are displayed in these untamable rays. Voices of the ancient ones still echo their wisdom still resounds in the summer thunder they visited and released many a tortured soul. Before Blind they stood before the closed door of their minds knowing there is a path but where can it be found. Riches unbound await the searcher who will go to any and all lengths to conquer unbelief freedom his guiding star he walks in great shadows. Mountainous men Jefferson Lincoln his stalwart companions stand with grandest stature takes from the mountain those teachings not found in musty universities. Thoughts born on creations morn formed and laid on this rocky foundation now for centuries they have bore the weight this colossus purified they are words more noble than gold. Share them invest them in the borderless world of human kind that circle the globe. Moses was familiar and consorted with mountains the angel made one his sepulcher. Waste not the golden hours they are the thread that sows life’s most exquisite moments together making a life. Turn aside seek the heights they will give you respect and honor words will flow that are uncommon they will fit any and all circumstances filling the empty void where hearts bleed without ceasing. Your voice will be like the cool mountain breeze soothing filled with substance and comfort.
Well three hours must I tell you in the dog house and no feathers left it was worth it for me I hope for you too
Where God passes The edge of forever where raw power is displayed Walk the seascapes enter the story told in timelessness except for outer space it is the only place where man finds his mind freed so steep is the unending awe that without question he finally is able to present his self as the tiny speck lost is all ego all self importance he is open to the quest for ultimate truth. You perfect you’re thinking at the sea shore it is a storehouse that lends itself to grand thoughts no limitations hamper your endeavors aliveness engulfs you totally. Subdued moods excavate every shallow you start a down ward decent the deep cries out to your soul the part that never can be accessed on shore. The ground a foundation for raising up temporal structures your needs are served in waters that open as a mysterious gate the deeper the fathoms the more understanding is released. To abide in calm surface features of the sea what a waste take off the restraints become a voyager drift with churning twisting pressures they will give great reward for accosting your accustomed staid and uneventful living. Go deeper the mundane the so called important will be forced through your very pores as you continue calling the unknown manifest itself with great scrolls hidden beyond reach to those that plod along the sunny quiet banks. Life test all men you can face them unafraid armed with years not minutes of preparedness found alone in the struggle only found at sea. Pondered Plumbed in inexorable conditions that stretches changes a person’s character his stature tempered fired as steel in the caldron. We need leaders vibrant thinkers people who can and will accost hell in the very near future and come away victorious. They will have found their way through the untold deadly entanglements figuratively and real their not accustomed to ease and know perils at close quarters they learned them in great waters not in pools that have not the ability to stir you to your core you’re going to pour out your life in one form or another do it with sand and grit leave a scarred an effectual trail for others to follow not the light untraceable light footsteps of one who has never lived.
