WHERE ARE YOU

Dear Jesus, I’m alone down here. Where are you today? My path is dark, my burden great, I can’t seem to find my way. I’m so afraid because this path is so very dark and dreary. Please show Yourself to me Dear Lord and vanish all my fears. My dear child, I have not gone, I’m still on watch today […]

DOWN ON MY KNEES

I kneeled down by my bed last night about a quarter to eleven I closed my eyes as I said my prayer and sent it up to heaven. I told the Lord about all the trouble down here on this earth I asked Him to come….on the double to give this world new birth. I asked Him for more money […]

A CHOICE OF COLOR

I’ve searched and I’ve searched but try as I might I’ve yet to find the difference between black men and white I’ve looked the world over at every human kind and not one physical difference was I able to find. I’m not trying to judge nor to place blame I’m just recommending that we stop this old game of color […]

THIS IS NOT GOOD-BYE

This is not a “good-bye” but just a “so long” As God is placing you just where you belong. To do his bidding; to submit to His will; to answer the call — His work to full-fill. This is not a “forever” over the miles but just a “see you later” as you challenge your trials. So go in peace. […]

MY DREAM

The last time I saw you You were in my dreams trying to enter my heart Or so it seemed I remember the rich smell of your cologne and that heart-warming smile you sent to me alone I dreamed that all the ladies gave you those “I’m available” stares But you didn’t seem to notice they were even there Now […]

A COUNTRY FALLING

People of America it’s time to take a stand It’s apparent that our government has gotten out of hand Our taxes are over-whelming our schools are on the brink Our health care is dangling and ready to sink and…… While Social Security is dwindling….taking a tumble Our leaders are meeting to argue and grumble They argue and fuss about what […]

ON DEMAND

ON DEMAND Don’t let yourself be put on “demand” By living daily doing what you can To make things easy for everyone else, while…not allowing time to satisfy yourself People will use you and all your good deeds To hold you hostage satisfying their needs It’s o.k. to help someone when you can But don’t let anyone put you on […]
