STICKING WITH LOVE

Martin Luther King Junior,

Was of a Godly humor…

In love he fought

That Christians ought

To walk by the Bible not rumor!

–

Willing to face,

Human kind’s racial disgrace…

Christian “saints”

Who said other “paints”

Were not of the human race!

–

Battled until he died

for his Lord crucified…

Hate didn’t win

when it killed him,

God’s love will never subside!

–

How many would lay down their life,

For Lord , for justice and wife?

He followed through

As I do too,

Who does all for the Lord gains new life!

JESUS WEEPS.

JESUS WEEPS…!

(An opinion piece)

–

For all the children eaten,

For all His people beaten…

At least they’ll see

Eternity

Away from life so fleeting.

–

Those who sit by,

Should hear the tortured cry…

Of a god and his raiders,

Hateful invaders,

Who make victims want to die!

–

“Progressives” who don’t care a whit,

Yawn saying “get on with it”…

So we can win

Not looking at sin,

“That doesn’t bother us one bit.”

–

They call themselves upright,

But that won’t wash tonight…

Jesus weeps

While a ruler keeps

His vacation schedule tight.

<3 JOANNE <3

❤    JOANNE    ❤

–

Putting it very succinctly,

Joanne in our eyes is distinctly…

A treasure to see

While we happily,

Visit her office meekly.

–

In fashion that’s the best,

In professional confidence rests…

Her cheery manner

With not a complainer,

Or any of which we’ll attest!

–

Blessed by her children dear,

We’re blessed by her presence here…

Those of us taken,

Loyalties unshaken

Would make our affection of her clear!

–

We hope this Valentine will do,

We sure do appreciate you…!

KINDNESS IS A GODLY TRAIT

KINDNESS IS A GODLY TRAIT

–

When one is kind and not harsh,

Like those evolved out of a march…

Your Creator smiles,

Walks with you for miles

Watching you refresh the parched!

–

Godly—like His grace–

As though you’ve seen His Face…

It is His nature:

Grace for His creatures,

If only they’ll make Him their Ace.

–

Kindness doesn’t come easy,

Toward hate, bigots and the sleazy…

Needs God’s help.

Impossible by yourself–

Without Him your resources are measly!

–

Christ paid the ultimate price,

For sin, opening Paradise…

A cup of water

Instead of slaughter

He thought particularly nice.

NOT EVERYTHING AS PLANNED

NOT EVERYTHING AS PLANNED

–

Lawn sprinklers on this morning,

As further rain clouds were forming…

Moisture detectors outside

Need new ones applied,

Were the lawns watered when it was storming?

–

Zia came to work trying

To cope with his mother dying…

Of her dying got wind,

Called me in,

While he rushed out of here flying!

–

I’d stayed home from service,

My foot wounds making me nervous…

Zia called–I was off–

Quickly aloft,

Performing a covering service.

–

Steve was here when I arrived,

Covering during my drive (?)…

He and his daughter

Showed Zia he mattered

To them and me, alive.
