{"bright Light"}

Bowing humbly, before "The Father of Light!" That I could gather in, the four corners of the earths wind To spread them out as a garment, before their vision As the stars within the firmament, across the night skies Transcending, this place and time.... These billowing clouds, that have showered these eyes! While I stand upon eternities edge Looking across this chasm, and down, into the valley below The piteous pangs of reverberating echoes, wistfully crying Pleading with Heavens, heart and soul To release their spirits, from this anguish inside This house of torment, that has marked their lives.... My outstretched hands, beckoning to the four winds To gather them in, before the end of days, forever arrives? My moment, my existence, my breath and my life Standing, with "Jesus Christ!" Speaking of tales, into my soul which has crossed Long ago, this barrier of flesh and bone.... Nothing has changed-it has always been the same From the days of Cain, unto this moments final edge Where upon We now stand, facing this wall of tumultuous tides Blackened curtains, of darkness' forever veiled desires Permeating, with showers of lightning, amid their approaching plight.... While the 'Children of Promise,' longingly await These forever breakings, of histories fetters and chains That have shackled their souls, unto the thorns of fate? 'Heavens Mighty Angels,' forever closing, 'This Book' That has dissolved within my hands As the 'Sprinkling of Blood,' trickled, upon my opened palms.... Above this valley, these outstretched arms, 'Nailed to "The Cross"' Standing with "Christ," and the 'Prophets of "Light!"' The 'Children of Tomorrow,' now, gathering in these four winds From the corners of this place-to cast them into their eyes The eye of the storm, that lies ahead.... Forever extinguishing its fire, within its smoldering ashes, of smoke Which shall never henceforth, ever, rise again!? As "The Precious Blood," trickles upon the valley Of times endless sea of "Souls" Echoing no more, with sounds of sorrow-'Paradise Restored' In "The Land of The Living".... To cast 'This Spear,' into the heart of the shadows, darkened demise! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {"Bright Light"}

I didn't feel obligated to answer her question. If you are concerned, I am not. I said I like it because she asks such random questions; she's not afraid to share who she is, not because of the question itself. Don't worry about me, I know who I am, and who I am in God's eyes. And I know God has some man picked out for me, I am not against any other kind of sexuality, but I'm not in favor of it, it's their choice. Anyway thanks for clearing that up. Blessings, ~Michaela~

I hope this finds you well. Another powerful write but the end says it all for me. "Echoing no more, with sounds of sorrow...' beautiful phrase. Thank you for sharing your words, John. God bless you always Love Robin (Matt. 28:18-20)

John I felt compassion in this write and those that are lost and verly importantly stated thing's have not change as far as man is concern. So clever and inspirational. John Rhinem. Your spiritual lord Jesus inspired imagination comes through again and again. I hoope all is well with you and have peace and joy regardless of your work experiences I know it must be difficult to believe in humanity when you see what human's do to one another. In heaven we wont ever see that again. Rejoice my cont
