We, in this world, keep making

The same mistakes over and over.

One would think that we would

Learn. It reminds me of the time

I walked up an icy driveway only

To slide back, to the bottom of the

Slope. Then started up again, with

The same results. I finally slipped

And fell on my head causing a bump

And bleeding. I proceeded to the

Church, we had mass before school,

And those who saw me were aghast.

I couldn’t tell them the truth and let

Them fuss over me. Now we are

Watching another war over land and

Religion. It is sad to watch our Socialist

Students slander and cry out for the

Slaughter of the Jews while pulling for

The Palestinians who in years past

Were rejected by every Arab country

In the neighborhood and the PLO was

Formed. Finally, Israel gave up some of

Their land but the bottom line was the

Land was not wanted. It was the destruction

Of the Jews that was wanted and still is.

Father, wake us up.

Looking for and finding

The path that God wants

Us on can be daunting. It

May take a lifetime, but

When we find it we will

Realize that every minute of

Search was worth it. As we

Listen to the Spirit we grow

In confidence that we can

Follow the Lord wherever He

Takes us. We know that the

Journey will be worthwhile

And we will suffer no harm,

But only joy.

Today I put my jacket on

I turned up the collar

The wind was blowing

Chill was in the air

I moved forward with

My head down in thought

It wasn’t about how lucky

I was, but what a screwed up

Mess we have made of our

Lives here on earth. We leave

Our borders open and watch

Hundreds of thousands of

Illegal immigrants cross into our

Country and do not know where

They will wind up. We see the gang

In D.C. cheering for the Palestinians

And pulling for Humas to kill as

Many Jews as they can. I shrug my

Shoulders as I feel colder. Someone

Elected these officials who at best can

Only say, “No comment”. The promised

Land will always belong to the Jews.

Ultimately, God will protect them.

We need leadership which will make

Us strong again. So much damage to

The infrastructure of Israel, Gaza, Russia,

And the Ukraine. So foolish.

We all seem to be waiting for

Someone else to solve our problem.

Good luc with that. We have to look

In the mirror and ask what the Lord

Requires of me and for whom God is

Asking me to do justice and have mercy

Upon. I pray that I will continue to grow

More like Jesus and be humble in mu

Walk with God. Life can be complicated

But to stop ad help someone and give

Them help is not all that stressful. Feed

The hungry, give water to the thirsty and

Shelter to the homeless. If we cannot do

These things alone then we can take those

In need to places that can provide. That is

What Jesus would do and if we want to be

Like Him, then that is what we should do.

We have one life and should strive to live

It well. In this Thanksgiving season, we

Should be thinking of these things and

Make new resolve to keep reflecting on

Them, especially as we enter the cold

Season and the needs grow.

While bombs and other military

Attack materials are flying over Israel,

And Gaza, leaving the sky and air dark

With smoke and ashes and the ground

Eith fallen buildings, we see out of our

Windows a blue inland sea, deep blue sky

With some gray and white clouds. I know

That this is not how things should be in

The world. How can men of wisdom, who

Subscribe to some religion wish this to be,

Where innocents on both sides are dying,

Some after being tortured and persecuted.

This is not what any sane person wants and

Still in our country we have leaders who hate

Jews and wish to see them annihilated. This

Does not speak well of our representatives.

And they should be voted out of office, in my

Opinion. Eventually the Light will overcome

This darkness and the Prince of Peace will

Have His say. The chosen people will survive

As they have been promised and it is sad when

We have one country funding Hamas and Hezbollah

With money which does not even belong to them.

We will watch destruction and death until

We can finally come to our senses.

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.
