Resignation
It is with great hopes for the future, I now tender my resignation and leave my position as a member of the Woe Is Me Foundation.
I will say in the years I served on the board, I was privileged to be a part of an organization, meeting regularly, accomplishing nothing, discouraging many, almost to the degree of self destruction. I had veered from the perfect alignment designed by my creator, indulging in self pity which is selfishness.
I have made this decision with careful consideration, and confess I felt no great consternation viewing the sad woeful expressions of the other members in the room.
I do not grieve for those I’m leaving behind, remembering how much they enjoy their hopeless and pitiful state of mind.
So much nicer to hear the birds sing, count stars in a midnight sky and feel the simple joy of being alive!

Shadows
I am liking what I’m liking though you may not like it.
I am knowing what I know though you don’t know.
I am going where I’m going though to you it isn’t showing.
I am flowing oh so easy in the flow.
Life to me is like a shadow, just a gentle flowing shadow,
Casting on the wall, an image of my day.
It follows all my actions, nothing else but my actions
Reflecting only what I do and say.
Shadows of Blessings

Shadows of blessings
In the early hours before dawn,
A shadow on the moonlit lawn.
I stood watching from my place,
A specter move with poise and grace.
I knew Him and He knew me
Familiar as two friends could be,
A thought of blessing,void of curse
My God, my World, my Universe.
I see Him in the stars at night
And in the beauty of morning light
I see him in the flowers that bloom,
I sense Him in a crowded room.
I feel Him in the hours of dawn
A breeze across the moonlit lawn.

Ever near to me, Jesus my God

Happy New Year
Exactly at midnight,
she appeared right on cue.
Fresh in her newness,
her moments all brand new.
Guarding her integrity,
will make a better world.
For every living man and woman,
every boy and girl.
Count her birth another chance,
and hold it ever near,
2012 , a gift of God…
To all, Happy New Year.

Pure
Hidden in this mortal frame is a beating heart, I’m told.
It’s flesh…just flesh and yets it’s value exceeds the finest gold.
It’s rhythm… Ah, a drummers dream, it’s voice great hopes procure .
And now I pray, before my Lord… My beating heart is pure.

In the hollow of the mountain
is a cabin rough and plain.
Wandering toward it from the valley
is a rough and rutted lane.
In the cabin lives a hermit,
in a world he calls his own.
In the safety of the forest,
in this place he calls his home.
No one in the village
ever thinks about his needs,
As he dwells atop the mountain,
amongst the brambles and the weeds.
Yet he smiles and that quite often,
caressed so gently by the winds.
He has learned, in his aloneness
God and nature make good friends.

Farther Yet To Go

A twisting trail,
A tale to tell.
I’ve farther yet to go.
A winding lane,
A goal to gain.
I’ve farther yet to go.
A light to guide,
My hopes confide.
I’ve farther yet to go.
No hindrance here,
No doubt no fear.
I’ve farther yet to go.
Come join me,
With hearts set free.
We’ve farther yet to go.
No need for strife,
In this blessed life.
We’ve farther yet to go.
How great are His signs, how mighty are His wonders, His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion from generation to generation.~Dan.4:3
And we have farther yet to go, indeed we have only just begun!
The 1942 L.L.S.

The Loda L.S.
I have a 1942 model vehicle.
Its 69 years old and in excellent condition.
I make every effort to take good care of it.
It is a vintage treasure.
I’m very careful where I park it.
I don’t leave it out in the weather,
and I certainly do not leave it where it could be dented or scratched.
I used to complain that it wasn’t as fast as the newer models,
but of late I have changed my mind.
My vehicle is one of a kind.
Made originally by a highly acclaimed builder.
It’s age qualifies it as a classic.
I never once thought of listing it for sale.
It gets me there and back
and when I hear others talk about parking their older conveyances,
I say,” not me… I’ve got too many miles to go yet.”.
No junkyard future for me.
It has been faithful, reliable, and comfortable.
I’m fortunate and blessed to be the sole owner,
of a 1942 L.L.S.
A God designed comfortable sedan to carry me thru this blessed and fun life…
On this day, I thank my God and Savior, Jesus Christ for this incredible journey.
Perception

Though bent and twisted physically, his words of power strengthened me.
Though he did not please the eye, he offered liberty.
Tall and stately, impressive height, his speech was pretty, soft and light,
Though by sight he pleased the eye, he left my spirit bound.
Though by men we show success, by God’s standard, maybe less.
We’re not be judged by friend or foe, but by the word made flesh.
If at last you think I’ve failed, in your eyes my work paled,
Then when I face my Lord The King, will you stand in for me?
Of course you can’t, you know you can’t, though often heard to rail and rant.
You cannot measure me by you, I’ll face my God alone.
By His grace I am set free, He has judged the worth of me.
In His light I am made whole, this is my song of praise.
Day by day I’ll do my part, to live for Him with all my heart.
In this truth of joy and peace, You’ll know my God reigns.
————-
You say it isn’t real, it’s the land of my dreams
Where a field of flowers grow near sparkling clear streams.
Sweet perfume fills the air, and the sky is so blue.
Everything is perfect there, for me and for you .
Warming sun lights the day, there’s beauty in the night.
Stars being stars, and the moon a lovely sight.
Hope brings hope where love reigns supreme .
You say it can’t be real, it’s the world of my dreams.
YET…..
When God’s spirit is alive in the heart of man,
You can enjoy living in such a perfect land,
Where peace, joy and righteousness are the songs I sing,
In the place where God dwells as my Lord and King.
The Light In Me

Shall I brush the sky with color?
Shall I cause the winds to blow?
Shall I walk thru the shadows,
and by these My glory show?
Shall I dance amongst the flowers?
Shall I cause a bird to fly?
Shall I raise a mighty oak tree
For her seed to fall and die?
Shall I flood the earth with water,
Just to show what I can do?
Shall I shake the earth with tremors,
Just to prove that I am true?
Shall I prove my existence
By great miracles, not a few,
Or shall I hope that by your actions,
Men see God alive in you.
If I speak a word of kindness.
If I help set someone free.
If I live in God’s pure radiance,
Then His light will shine thru me.
If the nature of a Holy God is my pattern, if his truth is my guide, the world will see the light of God in me.
