I Talked To God Today

I Talked to God Today

What a day I had, busy as can be
talked to God today
He just listened to me
I talked to Him
told Him all that bothered me
all the worries, cares and hurts
I took and laid them at his feet
Funny thing about this talk
I knew that He was around
close as can be
just waiting to hear from me
I didn't hear a voice from the clouds
nor see a bush burning nearby
just a calm and silent time
the birds stop singing
the wind grew quiet
all got still and calm
much like a time before a storm
eerie it was, talking to God
but I knew He was there
for in my mind I heard a
voice, be still......and know
that I am here.

....Richard G Moriarty (2012)

She Talked a Lot of Nonsense

She talked a lot of nonsense

                                   And killed a whale of conscience

                                           In the city of Tampa
          
                                     Under Mrs. Fleu and Pampa

                                   Begrudged she lost a poll sense

At Church We Talked About the Holy Spirit

At Church, We Talked About the Holy Spirit!

At church, we talked about the Holy Spirit.
And discussed how to be guided by it!

We discussed scripture and God's power!
And how we need his spirit...  This hour!

We learned about how the Holy Spirit moved long ago.
And how we need it now!  To nourish our soul!

It seemed like no matter what we decided
We knew the spirit's power has been provided!

Rather than just all of us talking about it...
Isn't it about time, that we really experience it?

The disciples of the Bible were empowered from on high!
They boldly proclaimed God!  And were not shy!

It's almost like the church today is somewhat defeated!
Because the Holy Spirit's work isn't completed!

How can anyone experience the Holy Spirit within?
When so many hang on to unrepentant sin???

If you're one, who's hanging on to a denomination...
Is God's spirit part of your life's foundation???

Won't you take the time to wait on the spirit's presence!
God is powerful!  And is loving and omnipresent!

Talk is cheap!  Submission to God's spirit is the key!
To help you in life!  And give you the victory!

Won't you come now?  And enjoy the spirit's fullness?
It will bring you joy! 
And complete wholeness!

I Talked To God Last Night

I talked to God last night 
as I keeled beside my bed 
God almighty you're always right 
That is what said 

As I Keeled beside my bed 
God you have shown me the way 
That is what I said 
I am thankful for today 

God you have shown me the way 
I have found my inner peace 
That is what I said 
All this fighting needs to cease 

As I keeled beside my bed 
God almighty you're always right
that is what I said 
I  talked to God last night

If You Talked To God Today

If You Talked to God…

If you took the time to
 talk to God today,
What kind of words would
you have to say?

Would you point out to him another’s
 faults and imperfections?
The times you were offended
by his transgressions.

Would you tell God how much
better you are then he?
“God, I’ve been to church!”
“Just look at me!”

 God knows your heart!
Don’t try to be kidding.
He knows the way you that you’ve
really been living.

He knows your thought, 
action and every intent.
Don’t blame your brother for
sins you ought to repent.

If you choose to love some
& others not forgive…
You alone will have to give an
account of how you live.

So talk to God now in
humbleness and prayer.
Be filled with his love, compassion
and wonderful care!

You can be lied to talked about plotted against and still win

Some are like gold in your life
Some are gold-plated
Know the difference 
Because this will show you the reality of life
You can be lied on
Talked about, plotted against 
And still, win
Often people try to spin you in 
A direction that is not linked to your purpose
Break free and see the glory of your story
Every season of life 
Should give you a reason to try again!
As you retrain your mind
And remove the blind spots that
Often plague human lives
You will realize that you are stronger than the storm
Getting up and trying again should be the norm so
Know who is gold and who is gold-plated in your life
This will make a difference 
Because this will show you the reality of life
Yet in the end, you can be lied on
Talked about, plotted against 
And still, win

If You Talked To God Today

If You Talked to God Today…

If you could talk to God
this very day,
What kind of words would
you have to say?

Would you point out to him others’
 faults and imperfections?
The times you were offended
by other transgressions?

Would you tell God how much
better you are without him?
“God, I’ve been so good”
“I haven’t sinned!”

 God knows your heart!
Don’t try to be kidding.
He knows the way  
 you’ve been living!

He knows your thought, 
actions and every intent.
Don’t blame others for
sins you need to repent.

By the way you don’t allow
him to not forgive,
You alone will have to give an
account of how you live.

Talk to God now in
humbleness and prayer…
Be filled with his love, forgiveness,
mercy and care.

Premium Member Sat and talked all night

We sat and talked all through the night
Your heart and mind in a confusing fight
Heart says you love him, your mind says why
Your heart says hard to explain so please just try

Heart says his eyes say a lot, he has emotional layers
Mind says wake up, smell the coffee, he’s just a player
Heart says but I love him, I can’t let him go
Mind says he’s a player and time will show

We sat and we talked, you became sad
Confusion swept over you, you should be mad
He came back after silence for 6 long weeks
The confusion is what does he seek

We sat and we talked, and you asked why
Then you sat there and began to cry
I shed a tear with you tonight
Your Pain is my pain, I can’t make this right

I Talked To the Moon

I talk to the moon
Under the clear sky
Stars are falling
Like tears from a giant

I talk to the moon
In the freezing air
Stars are falling 
As if the giant smashed a glass

I talk to the moon
In the darkest forest
Stars are mocking me
So I’m crying like a baby

The moon told me
On the sandy shore
Stars are falling
Into the sea and die

Premium Member September 1979, My Hush Puppy Shoes Talked

On the corner of East and West streets,
                   there is a parallel lane that
    heads south, and just north of that,
               there are three roads in a
                          four-block radius
                              next to a six
                            lane freeway
                                    and a
                                    bike
                                    path
                                    and a
                           Pet Park with
                              a dog run by
                     the racetrack next to
                 the railroad yard between
              the docks and the airport but
                officer, my friend will drive me
          home since I live eighty miles away.

*After celebrating my September 3rd birthday with my friend out of town, wearing my grey-seal hush puppies, I walked to the nearest phone booth (no such thing as cellphone people) to call a nearby friend, because the guy that brought me was just loaded into a cab being too drunk. I'm the only one who doesn't live in the area, and I ain't paying for no $100 cab ride. After hanging up with my friend, I slumped down in the phone booth with my hush puppies out the door, and the local police showed up and took my statement. They gave me a copy since my friend showed up. My friend told me to read it because he never saw a place like it in the San Francisco bay area. My nonet describes several different places miles apart. I'm describing two of my sisters' homes, my third sister's workplace (bike path), my workplace (airport/docks), my parents home (pet park) and my home (BART train/racetrack). Six-lane freeways are everywhere. The title says it.

We Talked It Over

Sometimes I wonder, how it all went so wrong
The love that we shared, had felt so very strong
We made it through good times, made it through the bad
You were the first love, that I ever had

Why cant our hearts stay together as planned ?
Cant you tell me darling ? Please help me understand
Why not lets try again ? Our love can conquer all
Left here without you, my world seems so small

(Chorus)
We talked it over, and now our love has gone
We talked it over, how can I go on
We talked it over, you still said goodbye
We talked it over, my heart wonders why

How I need your arms, to hold me close at night
and I need your lips to keep our love inside
and I need your eyes to see me through each day
Left here without you, there's nothing left to say

(Chorus)
We talked it over, and now our love has gone
We talked it over, how can I go on ? 
We talked it over, you still said goodbye
We Talked it over, and my heart wonders why
We talked it over, I've no tears left to cry

I Talked To God Today

I talked to God today
Something I haven't done in an age
See I had a change of heart today
I wanted to be saved

I am not sure how it works
When I've gone so long
Not believeing in him
Not seeing his ways

Yet I talked to God today
And told him I was sorry
For strolling my own way
I had sinned and I knew that

I asked for his forgiveness
So I could get into Heaven
When my time had come
I let him know I loved him

I knew he was there for me
Cause I am his child
I finally had my wake up call
As I talked to God today

All I wanted to do was change
I was heading back to church
I was changeing my ways
No more sins

Jesus is my Lord 
My father
My leader
And he is who I have chose to follow

Premium Member Talked Into Visiting Paris

I was talked into going to France by a persuasive friend.
Was not into it until I arrived. It was a magical place.
The Louvre is unbelievably chic and classy.
I truly enjoyed the musee d’orsay

The arc de triomphe is something you do not want to miss.
Luckily you see the Eiffel tower no matter where you are in Paris.
I ended up staying longer than my friend, smelling French roses.
Drinking their wine, trying to learn their language.

Next year I plan to return and stay much longer.
I have put a collage together, representing the highlights.
Made into a bit of a window, it sits above my breakfast table.
Coaxing me back into the world of the Parisians.

Premium Member talked to a star one night

Talked to a star one night
It whispered
From behind a greying cloud
“I’m lonely”
It seems stars are so busy shining
They have little time to chat
They find it ironic that we humans
Write so much about them
Attribute to them strange powers
Of auric ascendancy.

I whispered back
Lest I be thought mad
By other star gazers
“I am lonely also”
It seems that we humans are so busy
Gazing at the stars
We lose track of one another
Stand alone wondering
Why the moonlight is so cold
And the stars seem so sad.

We decided to shine together
And whisper
                    “Come join us any starry night”
