bread

I found your Bible underneath a tree,
and started reading about thee,

The words and storys took me by surprize,
my life had always been full of lies.

I gave you my life that day,
Never regreted following the way.

A new creation
that is what I be,
since I found the Bible
underneath the tree.

(song by bread))

song

(to tune of house of the rising sun)



There is a church in New Orleans, it is called the Rising Son,
it has been the deliverance of many of poor man,
and God I know I am one.

Prison I have lived in,
and many a sin I have done.

I went to alter at the church,
my life is changed,
sin is no longer fun.

So mothers take your children
to the Church of the Rising Son
So they can be set free
and never be to the places
I have been.

Many a snare
is out there.
Many a man has fell,
Take your son,
to the church,
it may keep him out of jail..

miracle

A famous man was asked if God still done miracles, he said "Look at my life and how I lived before Jesus and you will see the miracle he does.
If people look for miracles they may not see God, he works inside the heart and heals the mind. He sets people free. Jesus done many miracles, did all the people follow him?? He said some
of these are following me just to get fed.. To get really fed now, read your Bible daily. Pray and
meditate upon the magnifence of God.

politician

A politician does the best they can do for their constiuents, if you can bring in jobs and you are a governor, does it matter if the money is well spent?? If you can get jobs for two or three years and bring money into the economy of your state, it is your job.

The difference in being governor and president is you have to do what is right for the majority of the people. You are a statesman and do what is right for the ship of state, you will never satisfy all the people but, if the country benefits, then do what is right.

Is God still working today

I beleive a rainbow,
does show God.
a ray of sunshine
a wisp of wind.

all creation has a fingerprint
God has shown his love
in everything

the person next door
the food you eat
the water for your thirst
the salvation of your soul

God is still reaching out
he still is love

new joke

3 times people enter the church
hatched (born)
matched (married)
dispatched (died)

quilt

while I have felt quilty for wrong I am sure I never felt the wrong that was laid on Jesus

THE SINS OF THE WORLD
every dispicable thing done by mankind to mankind and creation it boggles the mind
God could not even see his son through all the sin, he raised him up sinless but, Jesus
had to carry that sin on the cross

How could we ever deny a Jesus that would do this for a worthless bunch of people that very
seldom put him first or even think of him??

old movie

for a heartstopping movie watch Vertical Limit

my country

my land my space

freedom and joy
who else enjoys the land we live in
who would die for it
only those who are proud
only those who know
the right to live here
is to die for

snow storm

Lost in a world of white,
can't tell if it is day or night.

Drifting and getting deep,
Just want to make it through,
Just want to sleep.


Can't stop till I am safe,
The cold is to the bone,
No towers on my cell phone.

What to do when lost,
can't find my way,
Fall to my knees.
PRAY

Hear someone shouting
my name they call.
Is it really safe,
In this snow I will fall.

Someone holding my hand
Rubbing my face.
I will not die
I will get out of this place.

When in darkest doubt
to God give a shout out.

Place in this world

You ever wonder why, what am I doing here?? Is there a purpose behind going to work, eating sleeping and doing it all over again??
I knit you in the womb. God
He created you for things like witness, helping others, being a friend of God, which means being a friend of man.
Until we get out of ourselves and start serving God then we are in for hopelessness and boredom.
Once we get into his mission our lives have meaning and purpose.
Be humble and never be afraid to put others before you.

yancy (disappointment with God)

This is a book for anyone who ever Questioned, Why don't God do something, my life is falling
apart, my friend is dieing, I am in debt, I have a relative in Iraq. Where is God?? He is in the
same place he always is, In the heart and in the situation. Helping you to handle all life throws
at you. The Israelites had God in their camp nite and day yet, sinned and went astray.
The disciples had Jesus yet, one betrayed him, one denied him and the rest just split.
God coming into your life in a big way, is what happened to Job, and he was overwhelmed.
Is God dissapointed with us?? Look at how we live and our pride and the things we cherish,
and is Jesus first and foremost?? We may answere yes but, God knows.

ponder

Here I sit and ponder,
about this world,
I often wander.

We are man,
with dominion,
yet we diminish,
instead of build.

Should not the Creator,
step in and say,
Hey your wrong.
DON'T DO IT THAT WAY..

I happen to beleive when
the Lord comes back,
this earth will be ruined
anyway.

This is why there will
be a new heaven and
a new earth.

bail out

Ok the people who loan the money and put us in debt, all their possesions need to be sold all their
money, relinqued and then put in jail. If someone robs someone they are put in jail, yet if a finacial planner takes all you got, they get slapped on the wrist, even having soft prisons for them.
If more of these people got all their stuff taken and had to live as the ones they robbed maybe
they would think twice about their greed.

How much is to much??

How much should our government require, the workers work and have to pay for those who don't
work. How much of our paycheck should the government require?? How long can the Congress
spend more then they take in??

If the House and Senate were actual houses, they would be repossessed by now.

old man

Have we put to death the old man, the part of us that rises up against what the Lord would have
us to do?? Is our past still hounding us, even though we know Jesus took care of it. Are we still
having trouble with our carnal self or our materilistic self?? Do we don more things of the world
then things of God's nature??
How can we live like that?? Paul says "the things I want to do, I don't do and the things I don't
want to do I do" It is not just a problem you or me might have, the apostles had it to.
Prayer and walking in the Word and having a mentor or accountability partner comes in
handy.

Jesus will help us with temptation as long as we give it all to him and strengthen our will by
prayer.

Sunset

Saw a sunset
Bright sun dark clouds
colors shot through the heaven
What a wonderous sight
God sends such marvelous light.

Into our lives he moves,
We are never the same.
We are new creature
looking at a creation
that has been around
we are seeing it through
new eyes

God is looking at a new
Spirit
Someone living for him
and not for themself.

A true miracle of birth
as much as a new born babe

Help me Lord to remember
that day. I was made new

small things

Small things trigger memory
Sparrow in a tree
I think of thee
{not a sparrow falls without God's knowledge}

Combed my hair,
You were there
counting each one (the hairs on your head I number)

My little lies,
God knows each one.
Yet still loves me.

Quilt

Guilt is heavy upon my soul, why did I sin. I knew it was sin yet, still sinned.
I can't even imagine the sins of the world on my shoulders and God not be
able to see me through all the sin, I would be overwhelmed. Jesus did this
for us {all sin for all time} murder, lies, sexual immorality, pride so what can
we do for him??
LOVE HIM
BE HUMBLE
GIVE TO OTHERS
SHOW YOUR FAITH
REMEMBER HIM IN ALL THINGS AT ALL TIMES

book report

philip yancy dissapoinment with God

Great book and kinda deep. It is telling a lot about God. Where is he in our pain, why does he not
answer my cry. I am in trouble because I disobeyed his word. Why don't he wipe out my debt,
my pain, heal my child.
It has these answers some you may not want to hear, yet seems so true.
God showed himself to the Israelites, the children of Israel, they acted like disobediant children
never followed the Lord.
We don't see the Lord, yet we need to obey. Faith is that which is unseen.
Read the Book

season

Leaves fall to the ground,
they all turn dry and brown.

Grass does wither,
the green is gone.
Their is ice,
upon the pond.

Color is gone,
no light to see.
It is dismal and dark,
oh for some light for me.

gray the sky
nippy the wind
winter is bland
summer is grand

Soon I will wither,
My knees grow weak.
Time takes its toll.
No longer at my peak.

Time takes its toll.
My hourglass only third full.

When the sand runs out,
I will leave with a shout.

This world will be no more.
I will knock on heavens door.

Jesus will let me in,
No more dark days
be happier then
ever been

wife

I want to be your
one and only,
Think of me,
when your lonely.

When depressed,
in darkest gloom,
I will join you,
in your room.

While you have breath,
I will be here,
When your time,
is near.
I want to be there,
cause without you,
is only despair.

Heaven

When we get to heaven will we feel bad because of our witness??
Proably not, there are no tears in heaven and their is no condemnation in those who are in
Christ Jesus.
We can't change the past, but we can work harder on the here and now, so witness
and show love.

Jobs

Jobs leaving our shore yet, selling their stuff back into this country, any place outsoucing to foriegn
lands needs a ultamation to pay their people for five years so that they can get a head start on
a new life. Any body been their for over 20 years should have a pension equal to half their pay.
Would this make the boards set up and take notice.

Free trade

Free trade and fair trade are totally different, free trade means China, Japan, and India can
send any junk they want to us. They can send lead paint on toys, spoiled meat and any
cars that they make and we will accept them. We can send a car have it inspected tore apart
and overpriced so it cannot compete. We cannot even send our rice or farm supplies, free
trade means open borders on stuff coming in but, closed on our stuff.
Fair trade means if we take 40 billion worth of junk, you take 40 billion of our stuff.

It means your stuff meets the qualification ours has to.
It means jobs here, that is what it boils down to.

Free trade

Free t

prescence

Your precense takes my breath;
I do not need a thing,
When you are near.

I seek your prescence all the day,
In all my work,
In all my play.

Help me to lift you high,
Let my life be lived,
so you I glorify.

Let your earth rejoice,
because of the love you show.

prescence

prayer

I pray in desparation,
Great tightness in my chest,
Know what I want to say,
but the words
I can not express.

I recite the alcabet,
Letting God put together,
the desires of my heart.

He knows of my desparation,
of the longing and the fear,
after my reciting ,
he does see my tears.

I feel peace within,
and know God is near.
I know he has sorted out my cry,
and to him,
the situation is clear.

So when in doubt,
about what to pray.
Go to your knees,
recite your a, b, c's.

Let God know on whom
you depend,
God will come down,
on you
peace will descend.

PATRIOTISM

Refugees needing help,
Displaced people.
Kicked to the curb.

Who are the hurting,
the lonely,
the lost.

The native
Amaricans,
who were kicked,
and beaten.
their lands taken,
their women and children
killed.

Destroyed their land,
took their pride,
Took all away,
Leaving destruction
and pain.

Sent them to the barren
ground.
Not fit for white man.

Yet when the
country calls.
They answer.

They will still fight
and die.
for others that treated
them
bad.

Patriotism for AMERICA.
THE INDIANS HAVE IT.

answers

Studied all my life;
Answers for all of this,
Could not find a reason,
Although I had a list.

Suffering, pain, anger, sorrow,
Hurting so bad,
Wishing for no tommorow,
So I could forget the sad.

Happiness, joy, peace, love,
So much fun.
to be had,
Under the sun.

Helping others,
giving out unflinchingly,
A joy there,
You can clearly see.

Living for oneself,
Taking all for me,
no satisfaction,
that I can see.

the ones who love,
who give everything.
Knew the answer
I tried to find.

I answered the call,
Jesus said,
Give unto others,
Give your all.

I had found the answer,
I had looked for,
Now I give.
till no more I have

LIFE IS NOT OURS
WE ONLY FIND HAPPINESS
IN OTHERS SMILE
HELP SOMEONE TODAY
Uriah was a troubled child
He ran from abusive home.
Uriah fought and won,
as he traveled a lonely road.

Uriah happened upon David,
out in the wild.
Met David's band,
Decided this is my crowd.

Uriah fought many a battle,
Always out in front.
King David was his chief,
He would do;
what the King did want.

David slept with Uriah's
wife;
He tried to cover it up,
then he took Uriah;s life

dog

I have a dog
he is a long one
he chases a ball
and lays on a lap

if you want love
buy a dog

girl

a girl i know use to be fun
now this girl is on the run
fell in with a nasty guy
robbed a store
I don't know why

She is out there tonight
I know she is scared
out there tonight
on the run

I hope she finds her way
I pray this today

May the God above
show her his love
and she change her way
I know she has a heart of gold
she is just messed up
and needs someone

girl

where is pleasure found

where is fun
where is joy
is there more to life
then just toys

who do I talk to
share my heart
and my pain
someone real
that has been there

God send someone
to heal the pain
I know what your
son did
Im forgiven
just need a mentor
a helper in this earth

life in the fast lane

drinking driving dancing and loving
life is grand
till it deals you a bad hand

Did not aim to wreck that car.
Did not aim to break a heart.
Why do I have to live life as a bad boy

You don't you can change
The things of the past
can be forgiven
yet the child you have
will still be there

the jail time you face
will not erase
you have to pay
for the life you lead

you have to learn
that sins can be
forgiven
but life is not
forgotten

old

The test of time
the barn in ruins
what to do with
a life the same way

We pray and say
it will be ok.
Is it, no maybe not.
still some die
still some cry
the night is long
but a new day
is dawning

we have to get by
we have to leave
what do we leave
others profit by
our saying good-by

someone preaches a funeral
someone there hears their
prayer and all at once
the light of Jesus

shines within and
then without
as they want
to let the good news
out

life

the night was dark
the day was long
very down today
is this wrong

no one to love
parents are gone
sisters and brothers
i have none

searched for riches
searched for fun
still alone
till i am done

I am waiting
what for
I don't know
but a sense of
knowing somewhere

there is someone
to love me
people die
friends move away
where can I go

picked up a Bible
read it aloud
recorded it
played it back

I understand loneliness
of Jesus in the garden
I can comprehend
when they leave you

I understood death
Jesus saw his father die
He never raised him
there is a reason for this

Jesus word says
all must die and
face the judgement

I was scared and alone
how do I get to

God
Jesus said Beleive in Me
I will never leave you or
forsake you

Now I am no longer
alone
I also met another that
is not alone
We have Christ and
each other

teacher

a teacher of sunday school
wondered about his life
he never knew the effect
he had on others

cutting up
being mean
he never ever lost
his temper

he put up with
a goof ball
to reach others

now that goofball
is teaching
sunday school.

FRIEND

I had a friend
knew him since
I was three.
HE went to war
I stayed home
in Iraq
he died.

Never again
to see this friend.
A friend to the end
now is gone.

He wrote
he had to say
if I die here
it is for a good thing.

He said
We are free
We don't see
the pain of subjection
of someone else
making you live your
life

I miss him
I know he is better
off
I am glad his death
was for a reason.
