The Garden of Eden
Some people believe that the Garden of Eden
Was in Africa, Asia, Australia...not Sweden.
The presumed site of its location
Is assumed from the interpretation
Of which Good Book's being read…and who's doin' the readin'.
Noah
Noah's ark, neither yacht nor a sloop,
Was constructed to be one big animal coop.
On his crew It must have been a strain
That during forty days and nights of rain
To keep forking in fodder and scooping out poop.
It Ain't Necessarily So
Pious people are prone to become agitated
When agnostics assess their belief's overrated,
And the words that they're liable
To find in the Bible
By mere men were created, not divinely dictated.
When I was just four,
Baba would walk me through the olive groves,
his land stretching endlessly,
acres of trees—each one a memory,
each one rooted deep in the soil of home.
He’d set up a ladder for me,
let me climb,
picking the dark, ripe olives
from the branches heavy with history.
“Go inside,” he’d say,
“bring a bucket of water.”
I ran, feet light on the earth,
filled the bucket from the well,
its coolness a moment of peace.
But then—
a scream, sharp and raw,
cut through the air.
I rushed outside,
and saw the flames—
huge, fierce,
devouring the olive trees,
the ones Baba had cared for,
the ones my ancestors had planted.
In the distance,
soldiers stood,
their smiles cold,
ruining everything we had known,
burning the heart of our land.
I dropped the bucket.
The water poured uselessly on the ground,
while the fire took what we had left—
our home, our history,
our future,
turned to ash.
In the quiet before my thoughts
light gathers quietly,
a soft gleam rising from the page.
Scripture becomes my lighthouse~
a lantern steady as breath, bright without burning.
Its words tilt toward me
like a beam sweeping the dark,
not demanding belief,
offering only direction.
I keep close to the glow~
my fear thins,
and the heart remembers
how to unclench.
*Your word is a lamp to my feet~
the quiet truth that steadies me more gently
than any lighthouse ever could.
In this tender radiance, I am guided,
not by certainty, but by presence~
a beacon written in grace.
*passage from Psalm 119:105
Judith chopped off the head of General Holofernes, saving Israel
She is a biblical type of Mother Mary
Who crushes the head of the serpent, saving the Church.
The sanctuary is alive
With feelings light
Divine and bright as the
Dawn with its lemon
Sunshine smiling
Heaven must be alive
With feelings soft
Caressing hearts with bliss
Brilliant joy falling all around
Like a summer rain
Church is surely alive
With feelings inside
Whispering prayers and praise
Through silence singing
Sweetly, a breath
Sunday feels alive
With grace and blessings
Sensations so fulfilling
I know my heart is healing
Through grace so thrilling
God gives us the day
To honor our Creator
To give back some time
Praising Him for the many
Blessings He reigns down
God is alive
In my heart, He does thrive
I know I won’t survive
Unless I strive
To be alive, like Him
He is my light
I praise Him day and night
I give Him my life
To alter as He sees need
To bring me everlasting peace
Hebrews 10:25
King James Version
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
I am a side chick
I have existed from time immemorial
In ancient times I was a prostitute
In biblical times a concubine
Otherwise known as a mistress
The other woman
She that never came home
A woman tucked away somewhere
In all centuries
I have lived on the sidelines
Docile, submissive and unsung
Pandering to sexual needs
Of wayward husbands
Though I live in obscurity
I am a legend of all times
No husbands can resist me
Some risk it all for me
I am the sword of Damocles
Hanging over every marriage
I am a shadow that follows
Men under my spell
As they keep running to me for more
From cold matrimonial beds
While I keep devising new strategies
To be their everlasting nemesis
As a dynamic legend
To remain relevant in my trade
I seek out stars and the wealthy
And transform to a baby Mama
With a permanent cheque book
And a swollen bank account
Condemn me as much as you will
Despise me as much as you can
Criticize me as irresponsible
I remain indestructible
And a global citizen
Until men and women
Live in perfect relationship
But that remains a mirage
Until then the legend lives on!

Love me now or love me later, the power of love there is no force greater. The love of GOD ,his Son, our Savior. Him, the Most High, Allah, the Creator.
Love thy Father, the GOD of Abram. Praise Yahweh, Jehovah God, I AM.
Praise he that healeth,with a gentle touch of his palm. I sing to you a whisper, a hymn, a psalm.
Fear not death cause with he there is life thereafter. Forgive my folly, I serve you, what's thy will thy Master.
Behold the Alpha and Omega, which is the Beginning and the End. The only one who knows the path of the wind.
Pray all men to the LORD of HOSTS. whom giveth the HOLY SPIRIT, baptized by the HOLY GHOST.
His love flows forever like the waters of a spring. Study thy Word, forsake not thy King.
Forgive us all for we all have sin. Thank you Father, In JESUS name I pray Amen.
Abraham the father of the faithful
Barnabas the encourager so graceful
Caleb who believed victory to bring
David the shepherd boy became king
Exodus the book containing God's law
Felix reasoned with Paul found no flaw
Genesis tells of God's work of creation
Habakkuk rejoiced in God of his salvation
Isaiah prophesied the suffering of the Lord
Jacob succeeded in prevailing with God
Kidron brook where David from Absalom fled
Luke the gospel writer and physician well read
Matthew followed Jesus call to leave his tax
Nehemiah sought to rebuild city wall no time to relax
Obadiah a chief in house of king Ahab
Paul the chief apostle so very fab
Quails God's wilderness dessert to eat
Resurrection of Christ our heavenly seat
Satan hater of God's church constantly lies
Tomb from where Jesus indeed did rise
Uriah wrong by King David for Barsheba
Veil was torn it's meaning so deeper
Whale where Jonah was for days three
Xerxes was king when Esther set Jews free
Yoke which Jesus spoke of his being light
Zechariah was God's prophet to tell what's right
King Herod was such a big dummy
For armies must march on their tummy
Why would he crucify
A "FREE FOOD & WINE" guy
Who could make Army chow quite yummy?

Inviting, Inspiring, Igniting
Flames, burning away all the past,
Stirring up the fresh and new,
The breathless music of truth
Amazing, Abiding, Awakening
Hues of gentle, serenity
Quiet reflections like blessings
Stilling the winter flakes
Stilling the autumn perfume
Stilling the summer breeze
Stilling the spring with its grace
Whispering, whimsical, wistful
Feelings restoring the hope
Brought to life inside the spirit
Who believes…
He is the freedom
He is the reason
He is the victory
He is the beautiful
He is the stardust dream
He is the Son who sees
Through my darkness, into my
Breathless need, my yearning
For everything that only He can bring to me
Passionate, Promising, Praising
He is the amazing in forever
He is the breathtaking reason, the hope
He is the light that shines through the dark
He is the answer to my every problem
He is the victory beyond, the growth
When I don’t know where to go, what to say
When I can’t even seem to pray
Once He was in the fire and cloud
For me, He is in the heart and soul
Where only His love, His joy, His hope
Can lead me through the day and the night,
Into that land, that paradise…
Which comes to the one who believes
Jesus – the Son – the King of Kings
The only One who knows me completely..
And loves me so much He frees me
From the doubts and fears – thanks to Him
Eternity is just beyond the grace, the faith
That makes a way for me to simply praise!
Exodus 13:21 (KJV) “And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:”
The Christian way is no easy task
God's call is a call to fully endure
many obstacles have to be overcome
but victory's assured for God is sure
A true Christian shows real godliness
having deep humility to put others first
denying one's self have no worldly want
only God fills one with spiritual thirst
This thirst clearly is heaven sent
producing eternal kingdom affection
to renounce the world's pleasures
so give the Lord full attention
God sends his spirit in one's heart
producing His character to bless
living holy lives to give Him glory
putting on our gifted godly dress
So live truly for God alone
display yourself to be holy true
brings pleasure to God our Lord
eternal always forever to do
('If our common life is not a common course of humility, self-denial, renunciation of the world, poverty of spirit and heavenly affection, we do not live the lives of Christians.')
- William Law.- (1686-1761) 'A serious call to a devout and holy life.'
"You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar..."
How I wish such thoughts were more wise
and less were abjectly bizarre
"Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely..."
And how I wish before it was flung
You would help me speak more sweetly
"For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb..."
I know I'm not here just for sight-seeing
or to walk around in a costume
"My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place..."
I patiently wait for the next breakthrough
Surrounded by Your mercy and Your grace
"Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts..."
I pray for the comfort only you can impart
Help me untangle this life full of knots
All quoted lines come from The Bible in Psalm 139 New International Version
Is It Biblical or Constitutional?
This country of ours is becoming delusional.
This has to do with what’s “constitutional.”
It’s like judges try to set their own “rules.”
But in God’s eyes, many have become “fools.”
There’s debate over God’s commands displayed.
And where someone can or cannot pray.
There’s talk regarding church and state separation.
While the moral fabric is torn from this nation!
As this country chases false dreams and idols…
It’s like many are “scared” to read the bible!
It’s the Bible that needs to be our moral guide!
Without it, people get filled with arrogance and pride!
Let’s come back to studying and obeying the Bible 101!
Let’s live in honor to God the father, spirit and son!
We don’t a judge’s permission on how to live.
Let’s seek the Lord Jesus who’s willing to forgive!
It’ll be in God’s courtroom that we’ll stand someday.
Before God almighty… What will you do or say?
God didn’t give you the constitution, but his word!
The commands he gives to all must be heard!
Without God’s commands, we’re doomed as a nation.
Without him, we carry on as a fallen and sinful creation!
Please God, come and revive our hearts to know you.
That we all would change our ways and serve you!
May the words; “In God we trust” be our foundation!
That your laws of freedom would again rule this nation!

Even while we sleep...! Let's Press-on
Where did we go…while I slept?
what mountains and rivers…were leapt?
Through what tunnels did we travel...
leaving footprints upon unknown gravel?
What mysteries were revealed...
that You, in Your Wisdom...have concealed?
For, here I find myself awakened
with the drudge of yesterday…forsaken
Yet, so aware...that though I did dream…
there is nothing to remember, it seems
But You were there, Jehovah…in Your Silent Way
infusing with guidance unto another day
And now, duly revived and adept…
I do wonder, where did we go…while I slept?
