bunting

say neighbor that is a lot of red, white and blue,
is there a politician coming thru?
No, I love this country,
and to show this is true
that is why all this red white and blue

Four flags, why is that,
One for north south east and west
One for every direction that vets
have laid down there lives

Why so much,
Is there to much
If I were a fan
I would have Nascar colors

Daniel

Man here I am, in a den. Smell like old bones, and meat in the air, it stinks in here. Lions growling, walking around, making a place for me to set down, leaning on their hide, it is not so bad, God is here, I am not sad.
My Lord does protect those that stand for him, when in doubt, give
God a shout out. He never leaves you or forsakes you.

all I need to know the Bible taught me

I learned a lot from the word of God, he is holy and ever present in times of trouble he is where we run when seeking shelter. He is greatly to be praised at all times, because of joy, and comfort.
I don't want to be a fundemendalist, yet I want to follow Jesus, and sometimes I guess by
always talking of the love of Jesus, which is unconditional, we forget God who, destroyed those
that did not want nothing to do with him. He loved the Nievites and sent Jonah, to them, he
used enemies of Israel to bring them back to him, it does not say the enemies were Gods
chosen, yet they were chosen to terrify the Isralites. God destroyed the Korahites in the
desert and sent plaques on his people for disobediance. He loved David, yet sent trouble on
him for his disobedience.
Should we overlook disobediance to God, because of love?? Should we allow sin in our churchs
not from people who know no better, but from people who say they love God, yet continue to
live in sin.
It is a hard question, I have to ask is this a good example for children or new christians,
I really don't have the answer I just know sometimes we have to question what to do,
we don't want to judge, but blatant sin may need looking into??

struggle years {without Jesus}

When I was a child,
very meek, and mild.
Bullies of the world surround,
They always knocked me around.

The teen years came,
with them, more of the same.

A lonely guy,
No girl, no friend,
Thinking life is bad,
and will never end.

Then the Marines,
helped make me a man.
Went to Korea and Japan.

Realized people like me,
Dieing in Nam.
I had to make life count,
If I can.

Got home, bought a bike,
Road called to me,
Done whatever I like.

Got married, had children,
Show them another way.
Sought the God of my youth,
He was waiting for me.

Now each day belongs to him,
The future is no longer grim.

When my time is thru,
Jesus will take me home.
This I know to be true.

Do you know,
where you will go.
YOU CAN

yard sale

Picked up an old Bible, at the yard sale one day, thought it might be worth something some day. I layed it up for a year or two, then found it, while looking for a pair of shoes.
Set down read a little, I thought the stories were great, a skinny kid defeating a giant loudmouth, a man who commanded it not to rain, and then called down fire from above to fry his enemies. I read of a man, who had it all, then Satan took everything. I read of men walking by sick people and their shadow made them well. I read of a man who was going to sacrifice his own son. These stories and more made me read the next day. I read of an innocent man that died a horrible death. Then I discovered myself in that book as the sinful man that he died for. I had a decision to make, to beleive this Bible and what it said or go my way. It turned out to be worth more then I ever thought, I take it everywhere and read it a lot, I have found others like me and I now have joy. Thank you Lord for putting that Bible there.
