My mind skips In disarray From a thought to another. My heart, troubled, Like an ocean Tearing at its own seams. Gone was a dispensation Who knew not the Truth. Now, Is a dispensation Who knows Him Yet still denies. My wonder in hullabaloo, Questioning sanity. Do they mean it? My conscience screamed: Certainly not. Seeing, Hearing, This boisterous rebellion, They sighed: “Hell, we don’t mind.” What! What! Shocked was my spirit. Do they know? Oh no! They don’t mean Their outrageous claims. This is no blindness! They see, Yet have no sight. Deception Has stolen their eyes. The Truth is our reconciliation, He is our Salvation. Yet still, These voices Take pride in eternal death. What! What! Eternal damnation Is no adventure For fun. Burning alive, Not dying, Still pain Endures Without end. Eternity; No clock, No end, No exit. Forever is sealed After here. Why choose Hell? Why not Heaven? O Heaven! Come and see, Just come and see… This Heaven! Joy abounds, Peace thrives… Come and see, He is a good God. Why Hell, My beloveds? Heaven awaits your return. Return home, beloved. Angels will sing over you Than demons will laugh at you. Heaven awaits! Jesus is knocking At your door, Step out, Come home.

URGENCY
Picking this book and yet another, I was thrown into a bolt of awe, Not of the writer’s ingenuity, But of characters, Who are laid bare But still blazing. Ooh, these iconic characters, They lived a life Impact alone, Is less of a description. I read; Amazed, Gasping, Sighing, Adoring These radiant souls Sold to one course: “Jesus to all nations.” Now in books, Their trials, Their triumphs In Christ Still breathing through pages. God’s Generals, Indeed. Leaving comfort, Overlooking odds, They spread to nations Like harmattan fire. With just one aim: “My Jesus must be known.” In this great act; Leaving family, Losing property, Losing love, They marched gallantly To nations Where persecution waited. Still, I reckon their wisdom: One man; No, not alone, The Holy Spirit Through a yielded vessel Translated the Bible, Wrote books In another tongue. Wow. Stunned is my inquiry. Not men alone; Women too, Beside their husbands, Preaching, writing, singing: “Your Kingdom come.” Heaven rejoices over these; Those who planted in hard soils. Others now water What their labor birthed. But He; He gives the increase. God’s great plan: “That all men will be saved.”

GODS GENERALS
Hadn't Wishes in a wishful God's voice Risen hours, reminding worth asking World's to weigh, wait on misery's choice Found two, by myself Remember, to linger with prayers legend Twain, a salt between here and health Is still you, a requited vanity to mend Mercy, with an opinion longer Than a tongue has a right? Imagine a halt of habit, stronger And the seldom of heaven, is why might... Has don't for a friend Speed and vehemence... Special to me, a future to lend A chaste works like my time, sincerity Time to show the truth...? A good time, that leads happenstance To a whole example, of pride becoming couth Share the eye's of youth; before a stare becomes age's heaven...

Just, Why God Whistle's...
It says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God!” So, I ask you, just how much have I sinned in comparison to the pedestal you set yourself upon? How much have I plummeted beneath our great Lord's merciful feet, when I dare to challenge the oppression of earth's white-man evangelist bigotry? I ask you, most wise and knowledgeable devoter, just how far do I fall from the Lord our God's reaches of heaven when I have questioned on the magnitude of our fellow man's prejudice and injustice, and you have not?

Fall Short from Heaven
If you stay in my corner? God, what is there to fear? You have that power to stop envy? To stop hate, to correct mistakes God, stay in my corner and stay great. You see through falsehoods and pretense. You're a wise spirit about pretense. You make the liars' man up and use common sense. God, stay in my corner? Through wars you my force field and more. You're the CREATOR of love. We just need to use it, promote it, and show it. Even in dealing with certain idiots. To which we all are one. God, stay in the World corner. Love us, instruct us, teach us everything you request. We owe you our best.

God, Stay In My Corner
The best men and women in this life are not the holy or the righteous. They are not found in the church or temple. We live in a world where religious virtue is conflated with bigotry, racism, and hatred. Only the godless are truly good.

Only the Godless
Once my heart was dead Then You revived it So now it is desiring this That I will hear its beat with the same rhythm as Yours And its pumping will go as fast and slow and hard and flowing Longing for that joy when a soul comes to their knees and pleads May it break for what is breaking You, seeing this world so lost Then loving, truly loving Them whom You gave your life on the cross for Because my heart started living When You first gave life to it Now my heart is alive like never before

Your hands, they're trembling again. Mine are too. I reach out to save you, but suddenly I'm grasping a ledge. I didn't ask for this, but somehow, I gave myself a role. You didn't ask for this, but somehow, I claimed you as mine. There's so many of you! What am I supposed to do? Can I even do anything? No, I can't. I can't save even a single life. That power doesn't lie with me, not in the least. Yet there is a hope! A hope beyond me. A hope that transcends time; a force greater than I can imagine! On a tree, this hope was hung. A man judged for all time, A God who sacrificed all he had, for the sake of monsters like us. Yes, this hero, this God-man, this Jesus died and was raised to life. This Savior who came for us, who claimed His children's lives as His own. He will save you, not me! I have no hope to give on my own, but that Jesus died, bearing your sin and killing it forever. He will claim those who are His, and He will save them. I'm no savior, and I don't have to try to be.

God will love us all If we stop doing sex-sin; If not, he'll smash us. Sin-free to Heaven Sin-laden to deepest Hell; So, burn baby burn. The birds in the sky Watch sinners going to Hell And go tweet tweet tweet. Thus: all sex-sinners Get your rocks off pretty sharp: Hellfire's on its way.

Four Devotional Haiku About ***
Is she a pretty hippy coming at me with that "you're a fine piece of meat" smile? Flowing long dress c. 1873 wild hair twisting to her ******* Gracefully she shuffles, feet never leaving the grass She hands me a pamphlet I see a ragged leather Holy Bible in her hand Do her eyes wish I was her husband: born again Christ Man first, and lover later? Do you imagine our wedding was today: communion first and consummate later? "No thanks, I'm sorry darling" She and her friend get kicked out of the fair and she probably felt bad *** for it

Evangelists at the County Fair
They run and run and run It seems, with little time to feel the sun And yet, what they have begun Is something that can easily be undone. Dodging the trees here and there They run through this thick and heavy air. An end to this overgrown forest do they give silent prayer But little do they know that they’re on the path to despair. They hide from the sun’s bright For they know not of its delight, And instead they run to the darkness on the right Thinking they will find some light. However, their path is crooked and steep As they run through the forest deep. They are like lost sheep Not realizing they need to awake from their sleep. They see others running passed the trees Dodging them with ease. They wonder what makes the others so pleased To be running through this breeze. The others also fall down, But they get back up and help those around. While they run through darkness abound, The others run through bright clearings round.

Runners
I wake up in the early morning, My lack of sleep I am mourning. I put my Hope 242 shirt on As I look out to the light of the dawn. On the back the shirt reads: *By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments, And his commandments, are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. - 1 John 5:2-4* On our road trip We stop at a Waffle House. I’m not in the best mood When we sit down to eat our food. It’s extremely crowded. “Two pecan waffles!” someone just shouted. While the waitress is overwhelmed yet joyful, I sit no longer hungry yet self-centered. I finish and push my plate aside, Lean forward, and watch the cooks work side by side. “Sir.” She says calmly as I turn around in my seat. “Your shirt is just what I needed. Thanks you so much.” She looks peaceful in the midst of chaos. And I realize then, That God can use you even when You are at a loss. I turn around and smile. “Hey God.”
