IN THE MOMENT

There are many distractions
It is difficult to live in the moment
However that is just what we should do
We have one life that we know of
Living it to its fullest is what we should do
This is not always easy, especially
When our occupant makes an insane remark
Like “It is difficult to make it if you are
A two family person” and other blunders
To say nothing of his terrible policies
It is hard to stay in the moment
When you watch Hamas shooting rockets 
Into Tel Aviv and other Israel cities
Or when Russian hackers interrupt our fuel supply
But we must try because if we don’t
We will miss out on many important events
Interactions with people; observations of nature;
A body without anxiety or tension; and being at peace
The world is in chaos but we must remain calm
Know to Whom we place our faith in.  
Go out of our way to help others and 
Share our joy with them

LISTEN FOR THE BELL

I listen and hear the bells ring
Wonder if I am doing the right thing
How about that the bell has a crack
But then doesn’t everyone
We all need that crack
It lets the light come in
Don’t we all need light?
Especially the light that
Overcomes all darkness
We are sinners, saved
By Jesus, Who died for us and
Our sins on the cross
At Calvary and today rockets
Light up the skies because
Evil exists and God has a 
Purpose for everyone, 
Even the enemy and we
Do not understand 
A purpose for our weak leader,
Taking us to the abyss
Wake up my friends
Ring that bell with the crack
The liberty bell and 
Begin your prayer and sacrifice
Only then can we survive
And stand where others
Have fallen because 
We heard our call and 
Can remember the
Resurrection and His promise
