Living Well : In the Body of Christ

In view of God's mercy I say this to you
offer your body as a sacrifice in a manner pure and true
it's about finally living well in the body of Christ
to be holy, pleasing and acceptable in God's sight

no longer willing to conform to the patterns of worldly designs
now willing to be transformed with a godly renewal of the mind
for by the grace that was given to each and everyone
to not think so highly of yourself but to be humble like the Son

It's time for us to start living much healthier lives
for our bodies are precious temples in the eyes of Christ
so fed it well, exercise it and abstain from drugs and drink
to be sober in our judgement and the way we now think

It's about us living well in the body of Christ
to understand we all have different roles in life
just as the ears do the hearing your talent might be teaching
just as the feet do the walking your gift might be preaching
just as the hands do the touching your function might be serving
just as the eyes do the seeing your purpose in God's sight is worth preserving

living well in the body of Christ according to the grace that was given to us
living well in the body of Christ by the mercy of Christ Jesus
now healthier, now fitter, exercising and eating right
full of the joy of the Lord basking in His brilliant light
to be encouraging, giving generously, diligent and cheerful in life
it's all about living well in the body of our Lord Jesus the Christ

Mother earth
Living like a solider here
Standing in the thickness of another storm
Holding steady as the winds, turmoil blow me
Bobbing and weaving to out run the hits
Stumbling I stare into the eyes 
Of the belly of the beast
He has cease in combating with me
 Because he thinks I’m a weakling
Like the rest of his team
A solider is what I scream 
As I take my sword and take 
This fight to the streets
As I run to the left he tries to corner me 
I run to right and then I strike him in his knee
He falls as did Goliath with David
I strike him again only this time in his head 
Realizing that when the brain is dead 
The body must do the same
I bathe in his blood marking my body 
With this victorious moment
1 for mankind and zero for the beast
I realize this victory is not my alone it is for 
Sean, Abraham and Ms. Thompson son
I write their names with the blood 
Of this so called adversary
At last there is peace 
Because what I killed
Were the lies that they implanted in me 
Through the airwaves, magazines, web cams and cable TV
See their visualization of who I’m suppose to be is
 Unrealistic to an idealist like me

Premium Member Dialyze Me

When I was diagnosed with end stage renal disease.
Trust me I was not pleased.
I was looking for someone to blame.
I took this so serious because I knew that this was not a game.
I had to change my lifestyle.
For months on my face there was not that familiar smile.
I let myself get depressed.
Right away came stress.
It is so amazing to see the blood leaving your body so quickly.
I felt every organ in my body feeling so guilty.
Almost every day I get so drained.
Inside your body it is a appalling nagging pain.
While being dialyzed.
Your whole body feels so paralyzed.
You are so tired you can only dream and sleep.
That sleep at times is so deep.
Then your body gets so bone chilling cold.
All of a sudden your hands or feet cramp so bad that they cannot bend or fold.
After a while on the machine you get so weak.
Now after four hours I just want to go eat.
As soon as I’m done I give thanks to Jesus.
In Jesus name I do have faith and trust.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.  I just wish that He didn't trust me
so much.  ~Mother Teresa
