Month: October 2023

All wars are over land or religion.

A sad commentary on mankind.

White crosses in cemeteries

Bring all this to mind and

Today we focus on the war

On God’s chosen people and

The land He gave to the Jews.

This is God’s Holy Land and the

Home He predestined for His

People. It is under constant attack

By the people who seek the

Eradication of the Jewish people

And their country. Two of the most

Relentless and lethal merchants of

Suffering and death are the Hamas

Of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Hundreds of Jews have already been

Killed. We can and must pray. The

Lord never forsakes us even when

Trials and tribulations leave us feeling

As though we may never find our way

He is always there to offer His hope as

Our light. All we must do is embrace it.

SUNSHINE ON SADNESS

I glanced out the window and

Saw the sun shining through the trees

Onto the golden leaves that has fallen.

Then I thought of the many Jews who

Have been slaughtered by the Lebanon

Hezbollah and Hamas. Why, I wondered

Has this hatred of the Jews persisted.

Why must we persecute these people

Who have been trashed and terrorized

During the last century. They have their

Promised land back and have yielded

Territory to their oppressors and still

That is not enough. The enemy wants

All of the land and the extermination

Of all the Jews. I know that Jesus will

Return, when least expected, and take

Care of the injustices. It is easy to say

Bomb the enemy, but that brings further

Escalation and does no good. We must

Come to the table and finally agree to

Work together to make our planet

The finest it can be. We must honor

And adore the Jew who died for our

Sins. We must respect all people and

Make sure that no one is left behind.

The sky is now a deep gray with only

a glimmer of light in the far reaches.

RAIN OR SHINE

We pray for rain when

The appropriate time comes

Then for sunshine

Every bit of nature should

Fall in line with our desires

It is sheets of rain or a

Plethora of sunshine to

The point we pray for a

Cool breeze to balance

Things out. The seasons vary

They always have and always

Will. We must adjust for them

Not the other way around

The great harvest time is here

People are canning everything

That is preservable and then

Displaying it on Facebook, hoping

For positive comments. They usually

Get a few, plus a modicum of

Jealousy left unspoken. We are

A funny lot, living with excess

While trying to help others, who

Have fallen short on the

Achievement side of life. Maybe

We will eventually get this balanced

Out.

It is amazing in my mind

That we have not learned

From the past and found

A path to peace that will last.

There always seems to be a

Person who wants to control,

Who want to show the world

How much power they have.

But they have no control over

themselves. There are other

courageous men who will

stand and put an end to the

grief and inequities being

caused around the world. It

all will end when the Prince

of Peace returns to separated

the grain from the chaff. There

will be the burning and the

crying and the gnashing of teeth.

There will be no help for those

Being vanquished. They had their

Chance while wandering the earth.

They forgot about their brothers

And sisters and now, themselves,

Are forgotten. Do good now. Be at peace.

Working hard while waiting for peace

The left is pushing for world control

Jesus gave us a free will

He allows evil to exist, but not unpunished

The liberal left exploits the Christians

They are enslaved, tortured, and slain

Some non-Christians are starved

They are forced to fight a war where

They will surely dive, leaving their

Family hopelessly alone and hungry

There are few speaking out against this

The pulpits are quiet and the media

Acts as if they do not see. There will be

A price to pay for this dereliction of duty

The only group that will control the world

Is the one which follows the good Shepherd

He will protect the vanquished and restore

The peace we are all looking for. In the

Meantime it is up to us to forgo our wants

And give to others as the need arises

When judgement takes place we will

Understand that our needs were minimal

Many chose luxury over helping our fellowman

There is a divide between the two and we

Can have it both ways if we try hard enough

The more we help others the less our own

Needs seem and we can live on the bare minimum

Our esteem will be held high in the eyes of the Lord

The left, who claim to know all the answers

Will have a lot to answer for. Jesus expects us all

To act wisely and will be stern against those who

Did not listen to his word. He told us to go to the

Fringes and help until order takes place and then

To go to the next area of need and keep working

And giving of ourselves for others. Do not give

Until it hurts but give until it feels good

When the left runs out of money they will lose all

Control. It is then that we will have one flock

And one Shepherd and one hell of a fire. We will

Hear the screams and the gnashing of teeth.

I as drifting along

No where to go

Singing a song

Felling so and so

I see the trees

Full of color

Beautiful leaves

This is wonder

The sun is bright

Reflects off of water

What a sight

The rest doesn’t matter

Birds are singing

Obviously happy

Their song is ringing

No one clapping

Waves are slow

Landing on shore

Like a one-horse plow

Couldn’t ask for more

I am in a daze

Eyes barely open

I feel a craze

But am merely hoping

The day will end

Then the news

Letters to send

Then I’ll cruse

The sunlight is again spectacular as

It reflects off the waves of Lake Michigan

in a strobe like manner. Nature speaks to us

in many ways.Just a day or two ago we had

A wonderful show of lightning with thunder

beating so loud that its cracks made you jump

And wonder if any damage had befallen you

or your property which is really God’s property.

If we think about it we are simple caretakers and

many times do not do a very good job of it, not that we

Could match the Father as He lets Nature have its way

with the landscape and a funny thing nature does not

Need a permit from the DNR or DEQ and does not have

to wait for a while until those responsible decide to act.

Many are pompous and act as though they are a head

above us when they are just rookies trying to prove

themselves to the higher ups.

The breeze is blowing up from the south

And the thin layer of cloud is slowly vanishing

Leaves are changing colors and many are

Dropping to the ground. The falling leaves

Drift by my window and thrill me with their

Beauty. Jack Frost has his way.

I see the advertising on

How to lose weight

Food can be bought which

Will modify weight

Without leaving you hungry and

It only costs so much money.

Then another commercial

Pleading for help for those

People in the world, who are

Without food or water. They

Are hungry, thirsty, and mostly

Without shelter. A paradoxical

Situation. We are proud people

But easily forget what Jesus taught

Us, which was to go to the fringes

And help those in need. This is

Forgotten by our leaders and ministers.

We go about as though everything

Is normal and fine. Deep down we know

We must act and follow the precepts

Left to us by the Master.
