I’m Writing the attributes of my characters for a book
It’s like talking to the therapist
Character one M- authoritative, everybody scared of him. Looks possessed.
Character two S- Queen bee who sat on her seat, only got up to fight,
Stirring her pot her big mouth, seeing things.
Character three K- Fist fighter with a mission.
It’s about a story on how they lived in modern society. All knowledge was there. They just had to look for it. A middle-class family. Just sitting there in the dark, curtains shut. I don’t know how to explain it. Why would anyone back them I don’t know. Maybe I think of a horror story as refence, Amityville back in the eighties, maybe. I think they all possessed. Trying to imagine a conclusion for it, its hard to think.
Now can’t find how to put them in a setting. Any ideas?

The Marks of the Catholic Church
The Catholic Church is one
Its supreme head is the Pope
Infallible & authoritative like the sun
The Catholic Church is holy
For its founder itself is Jesus Christ
The Son of God, so blessed is He
The Catholic Church is universal
Aiming to reach all nations of the world
Its dominion has gone international
The Catholic Church is apostolic
Propagated by the apostles of Christ
Whose mission is prophetic & angelic.

The Philippine Eagle: A Monument
Behold the Philippine Eagle, King of Birds!
The tallest eagle, terror of monkey herds
Its crest stands tall like a rooster on the roll
Hear its vibrant, authoritative call
Like a mythical griffin, it has the cover of a lion
That's why in our nation it's called “Haribon”.
Discovered by a man from United Kingdom
The faithful, monogamous Haribon (King of Birds) is only from
The Philippines, my country…a valiant country
First known to Europeans in our year of gallantry
When our national hero, Rizal, was brutally slain
By our first conqueror – the kingly Spain
This glorious bird is our monument of courage
A living emblem of our struggle for golden age
Its dignified countenance on our coin chiseled
So splendid & adorable like a handsome young man muscled
The starring on our national basketball team's logo
This is our national bird – adore, preserve & lo!

*Defense of the Animals Collection
A card asks Lazarus:
Give me this little piece of ice,
On the map,
But it is "No" from Abraham:
Child, you ate a lot of ice cream in your life,
A lunch in France,
Playing the game of Ishmael and Hagar,
A zebra without marked stripes now, savage,
Sin's slavery,
Antediluvian giants and dwarfs,
On this big table of authoritative vampires,
Dragon Dracula's castle,
On this glossy island,
In flames of fire,
That unworthy night,
Outer darkness,
To illuminate?!
Eyes wide shut,
A hound in the swamp,
Around galerinas autumnalis marginata,
Without the icon alive in the Book of Lamb,
That picture of Dorian with fake sapphires,
A millstone on the place of immaculate Ark,
This sacrifice,
Too late for your escape,
The answer of our father, alas, Cain brother,
In so shady house,
With pharaoh's sarcophagus like a butterfly,
And the speckled band,
"Toxic powerful man" said Gregory the Theologian of Nazianzus,
Seeing you in your magus cap.

Who can truly answer this question?
God is eternal and always has been
He is a spirit without body or form
no person can say God they have seen
Jesus is God. He said so in His word
also, saying seeing me, you see the father
for in the trinity, one God in three persons
paints His picture of all He will gather
In our modern hi-tech PC world
we can't picture God nor even guess
even kids' bible picture books
show only human ideas of God's likeness
So there is no way we can know
with absolute certainty of God the Lord
we must trust in His authoritative word
which speaks of God's sharp-edged sword
God is our great founder and creator
this world didn't just come out of nothing
for God is full of love, care and mercy
He is one, maker of all which He brings
I met a homeless man whose name
I don't recall, but he had what sounds like
A million dollar voice.
I met Cal who said he was an electrician
which is not a career requiring great voice quality;
But he had a million dollar voice.
Tim used to own a swimming pool business.
He was homeless when I met him.
But he had a million dollar voice.
I thought such a voice would bring greater success.
So, I have often longed for a voice more like theirs;
One with a little more base and a little less tenor;
One that quickly commands attention when spoken.
God chose not to give me such an authoritative voice.
But I have not declined to use the voice God gave to me.
Anyway, at the end of the day,
It's not about the tenor or the base.
It's about what the voice actually said.
Grass grows so fully green
field upon field blade upon blade
but one day the grass will wither
each blade carefully and specially made
A flower grows so full of colours
with highs and lows in every stem
such fragrance on every corner
so beautiful to look upon these gems
It's like any seed sown in the ground
when it grows it blooms bright
but in time it will fade away
like the morning when it turns to night
The only thing that will count
is God's eternal authoritative word
trust God's word, it endures forever
those who reject this truth are absurd
("The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.")
Isaiah 40: 8 (ESV)
A sudden crash awakens the night.
Thundering boots stomp,
heightening fear.
Little spots of light dart across the room. A half-naked man, bewildered and angry,
a wall of blue invaders violated his castle.
Pinned to his bed, with a truncheon to his throat,
he hears a woman's hysterical pleas for mercy,
unaware of their crimes.
A singular figure stands tall, self-righteous,
demanding their passports in an authoritative voice.
" Are you married to this woman?"
" Are you a permanent resident?"
These are the questions asked by the invaders.
If this sounds familiar, you would be wrong,
New Zealand in the 60s. One of her proudest moments?
Once dubbed the land of milk and honey of the Pacific,
inviting her poorer cousins to part-take in her fortune.
Then she ridiculed and scorned her guests,
labeled overstayers by her gracious host,
with the blessings of her white populace.
My fellow countrymen do not wish to be reminded of such events.
In this land of milk and honey, covered in sheep dip.
It is good to remember, in case we forget and repeat,
Lest we forget the lessons of our past.

We live in a world of sinfulness
mankind has ignored God's ways
seeking to do their very own thing
bringing our world to disarray
Is it any wonder our present state
surely it's plain to see the reason why
for God has given His authoritative word
deny His word and you'll spiritually die
Jesus, God's son came to redeem
becoming our substitute on Calvary's tree
taking our sin as His very own
Christ became the blessed saviour to be
God's gospel is to be preached
so all who hear can be made new
a new creation in Christ is our reward
make sure this salvation is for you
God's word is His living truth
which transforms us inside out
but refuse it at your very peril
for hell will come to those in doubt
The final day will bring judgement
after that day there's no second chance
so be sure to be found in Christ
connected in Him your living branch

The good doctor as MLJ was better known
trained and qualified as a Medical Doctor
membership of Royal College of Physicians
Sir Thomas Howdens assistant now did see
God for two years drew him out
to be a preacher of the gospel
began in his native land of Wales
calling sinners out of their prison cell
I became a believer in 1982
MLJ passed away to glory in '81
so never had an opportunity to see him
but read much to teach me how I grew
So listened to many of his sermons
read his life story, gave much to excite
how God used him in London city
Westminster Chapel to pastor by God's might
Even yet love to read his writings
such a depth but so very plain
clearly proclaiming God's authoritative word
so to receive the Lord's blessed rain
MLJ was a expositer bar none
many thousand would go to hear
so Dr. Lloyd-Jones is my favorite doc
for his preaching pins, you like a spear
(My favorite doctor was Dr. Martyn Lloyd -Jones (1899-1981), a truly faithful preacher of the gospel of God's grace,
A real expository preacher of God's divine word, the Bible.)
