When you seek to do good, no

harm shall come to you. Stay

close to the hand of Jesus.

His hand is all that we have

and represents all that he

taught us to do. It is not an

easy task to be His follower.

Nothing worthwhile is easy.

We grow through difficulties

and failures make us stronger

as we recover and make way

a new path. Our needs are met

,and our wants dwindle as we

come to recognize what is

important in life. The Samaritan

knew and tended to what was

in front of him. He did not just

dump the problem but made

sure his charge was taken care

of and then left, saying he would

settle upon his return trip. He

is an example of loving your

neighbor and thinking of others

first. No harm came to him for

this gesture. We read about people

who become our heroes. They

gave up a safe life in order to take

up the cross and follow Jesus.

These actions take courage and faith.

There is celebratory joy and silent joy

when good things are accomplished.

These are gifts that we receive when

we listen to his words and follow him.

The bank of love has not been overdrawn.

Although there is much misery in our world

which should be brought to us with hope.

There is no mystery. Certain madmen want

power and control over the masses. They

live in luxury while their subjects go hungry

and thirsty. They pay politicians and have

them in their pockets, so to speak. We

witness ruthlessness and crime, human

trafficking and drug smuggling by cartels

who have taken over large territories in

Mexico. We are vexed by germ warfare

and then subject ourselves to regulations

and mandates which are destined to

ruin us as a society. We are told we are

racists, but most people are not.

They are good people who respect

others of all religions and ancestorial

origins. We have a media who ignores

the truth and spreads the lies. We

spend our money building walls for

other countries while we leave our

southern border open. We give money

to the Ukraine and their president/dictator

closes all the Christian orthodox churches.

The Russian have bombed and destroyed

what was left. Evil people exist, but we

have only one Master, who is an endless

source of hope an love. In Him lives

our salvation.

Look behind the curtain to

get a glimpse of how stupid

people think. If there are too

many back there, then focus

on a few, and you will get the

picture. I presume they are still

walking around in circles in long

robes and chanting sweet nothings.

You will see the media repeating

together what the monitor is flashing.

There you go. You are now up to date.

We have expectations evolving

from what we do. Because we

have accomplished this or that

we feel entitled to make claims

on what we want for ourselves

or others around us. We are not

the Supreme Being and our actions

should not be predicated on what

we will get out of them or should

be entitled to but performed just

to serve God, even in ways we do

not understand. We should be

proud of our accomplishments

but not brag about them. They

are nothing compared to the

cross and the sacrifice of Jesus.

He gifts us every day and there

is no need or right to make claims

on unknown possible rewards.

We must keep doing good and

what is right and the Divine One

will take care of us as He sees fit.

To dream is not a waste of time,

but we must remember that a

dream without action remains

a dream. It is best to put a plan

together with the dream and

follow the plan until your dream

is fulfilled. It is not an easy task,

but if you are determined, it will

come about. There are a lot of

plastic bananas and phony

bolognas, good-time rock and

rollers around willing to distract

you. We have one life, and in a

sense, we own it and will put it

to good use or waste it. To waste

would be a shame because it is

a precious gift, and looking back,

we want to be proud of what

we have accomplished. Improving

in some way the place we have

been should be a goal. We do

not wish to be a freeloader.

There are enough of them, and

they get in the way of progress.

It is a crooked world, and if we

wish to straighten the walls, we

must bring the right tools along

with our determination. The Father

does not need us to accomplish

these things as He can create as

He wishes. We are doing something

for Him that He does not need us for,

but still, we want to be part of His plan.

It seems paradoxical, but it is a reality.

He wants us to love rather than make

things nicer for ourselves. He expects

us to go and attend to those on the fringes

who need help. He gave up His life for us,

and we should want to sacrifice

for the welfare of others. When we learn

and do this, then we can say that we

have had a successful life.

The inland sea reflecting the sun

off the rippling waves reminds me

of the lightning bugs on warm

summer evenings. Even they

cannot compare with the light

which is sent storming off the

water.  Nothing compares with

that light that we know of. We

are that dark in our world, where

people are enslaved and prevented

from living a full life. Little children

are put to work all day making rugs

They are paid pittance when you

see the quality of their work. Somehow

they come up smiling, knowing that

this will be the norm for a long time.

Countries are conquered for their

resources and most are finite which

means added measures must be taken

We have leaders who sell our limited

supply of uranium to countries who

threaten our freedom. No one knows

where the money goes after it is

received by the Foundation. The

coverups cannot be exposed by the

light currently. Other heinous crimes

are committed to our dismay and the

perpetrators walk around as though

nothing has happened. The truth will

eventually be known, and at that time

the true light which overcomes all

darkness will be shining, and many evil

people will be trembling with fear. They

know that they will be paying for their

bite of the forbidden fruit. They will

say that they didn’t know, but that excuse

will not hold water, and soon, the gnashing

of teeth will be heard. A mighty force

will lead like a shepherd leads his flock.

We will be living in peace. The peace

which was meant to be.

Wolfs scratch at my door

Silence

Last candle snuffed out

Fire tampered

Sleep ensued

Morning dawns

Met with hunger

Just a few scraps

Mostly saved for dogs

Fear non-existent

Prayers for safety

Animals pull sled

A new life looms

Alone, trusting

Destination uncertain

Food and water needed

Strangers look away

Barely surviving

Move on slowly

An abandoned farmhouse

A quick search

Stray canned goods found

Fruit, meat

Meaning living on

Dogs revived

Keep moving

Stumble upon

Stranger in need

Disrupts plan

New priority

Help and protect

Once restored he

Leads on a new path

Speaks of opportunity

Just over there

Beyond the river

Over the mountain

Down in a valley

A village prospering

Welcomes new talent

Overwhelming joy

Thanksgiving

Life begins once more

In the United Kingdom

A group has decided that

We should bring no more

Babies into the world until

The climate is under control

They are thinking about

Their future and the good

chance that there will

Be no food or water as

Our planet is destroyed

This is the consensus of

The scientists, they say

They get shrill when challenged

Consensus is not science

The earth was the center

Of the universe, according

To the consensus and

The earth was flat

Y2K would be the end of

Civilization.  It wasn’t

Polar ice caps are now

The largest in recorded history

NYC is still above sea level

Most species are rediscovered

Never endangered; just relocated

The ocean is warming because

Of man, but only one-tenth

Of one degree in the last fifty years

If it continues at this pace it

Will rise one degree in 500 years

Is that good or bad?  We don’t know

Maybe unborn babies, had

they been conceived would

Have solved perceived problems

Nature is unpredictable

If man could cause change

man could correct any errors made

Forest mismanagement

has led to terrible disasters

This is science

Where is the outrage

Where did the money go?

Immigration laws are

Ignored and broken

We need enforcement

Women are molested and raped

Will they be encouraged to

Give birth or abort?

Who will make the next

Great discovery?

Global cooling became man-made

Global warming and when

that didn’t hold; we changed the term

To climate change; consensus

But not science

Big money in the carbon business

Ask Alfred Gore, Jr.

People exploited

Industries shut down

Renewable energy called cheap because

It is subsidized.  All a hoax

And now, no babies

This is not a solution, but a directive

A cause to find solitude, but

In solitude we find our recklessness;

Drivenness; compulsiveness, an urge to

Act quickly; to make an impact; have

Influence and relevance while avoiding

The fire, earthquakes, and the wind

Solutions will come when we yield to the

quiet voice within, which centers us with

Reality and urges humility

   By Steve Haarman

Today there are five basic needs. They are

the “feeling of Belonging”, the ”Opportunity

to do things helpful to others”, “Security”,

“Accomplishment” and “Recognition”.

If we have these, then we can get along well

in our lives. There are modifiers such as normal,

respectful, humble, sharing, consideration, and

example. It is difficult to stay on the straight

and narrow. Matthew tells us that the scribes

and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the

chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all

things whatsoever they tell you, but do not

follow their example. For they preach but

they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens

that are hard to carry and lay them on people’s shoulders,

but they will not lift a finger to move them. 

All their works are performed to be seen.

They widen their phylacteries and lengthen

their tassels. They love places of honor at

banquets, seats of honor in synagogues,

greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation

“Rabbi”. You have but one teacher, and you

are all brothers. Call no one on earth your father;

you have but one Father in heaven.

Do not be called Master; you have but one master,

the Christ. The greatest among you must be your

servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;

but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

These are powerful words, but if followed will

bring great joy to your lives. The master bore

His cross, but what we are asked is nothing

compared to that. However, we must earn

our reward and happiness while being grateful.

We look for the light and

the goodness we find in

the light and know that

the things of the devil

are things of the night

and darkness. We should

not be afraid of the

darkness but bring the

good things of the light

with us. This light will

overcome all darkness.
