Misunderstanding life lessons
striving to be all we can be
hoping to change another
wishing for close bonds
fearing being alone
thinking money the solution
expecting acceptance from all
searching outside of self for answers
using excuses to avoid accountability
avoiding healing to keep codependencies
focusing on others life to avoid own
blaming to justify actions
projecting pain as a defense mechanism
diminishing self for comfortability
agreeing to avoid conflict or enemies
missing unconditional love never experienced..
Life is within, but without outside experiences, personal development
for perseverance, resilience, and character can't be shaped;
love, acceptance and validation are within so you won't go without.
The Kingdom of God destroys the characteristics of Worry!
Worry blows things out of proportion
But the Word of God puts things in the right context
The Bible guarantees that 'recession' does not affect the Word of God!
Birds always seek something to eat
They do not worry!
Based on their metabolism
Birds must constantly look for food
They do not worry!
God the Father feeds them
Even though they must constantly look for food
The Kingdom of God destroys the characteristics of Worry!
God the FATHER is our SOURCE
He is our Provider
He is our Leader; He is our King
His Government will take care of us!
Birds always seek something to eat
They do not worry—
Based on their metabolism
Birds must constantly look for food
They do not worry—
God the Father feeds them!
The Kingdom of God is never in a Crisis
Matthew 6:26

I wear my emotions on my face,
Cry at the snap of your hand,
With seriousness, life I embrace,
A tender touch, I demand,
Kind and gentle with a smile always,
That's what you will see outside,
Inside, I churn and hide my malaise,
You'll never know why I cried,
With straightforward faith to lead me on,
A poem to match my moods,
Looking forward to heaven's new dawn,
Brazenness, my pen exudes.

For "Character traits" contest
Sponsor: Angela Tune
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.'

Forgetfulness is not one of my better traits
Never the result of any foregone conclusion,
I could blame it on the narrow-minded fates
Or other faults my mind harbors in profusion.
Of all those ills, none causes me such anxiety
As forgetting a most important appointment,
And I try to make all those occasions a rarity
Since they always produce a disappointment
And, sometimes a missed appointment fee!

Love can shine like salvation.
Love lights unseeable torches
When heated, love evades judgment.
It gives breath to the sweetest sounds.
Love makes reasons and it breaks reason.
I have been reading Soul of America,
Battle for Better Angels lately. What I
like best about it is the descriptions
of successful Presidents. Book is by
Don Meacham who is an Episcopalian
from Nashville and a current Professor
at Vanderbilt University.
Characteristics of Successful Presidents
Horn Haiku and others:
to me has occurred
characteristic preferred
easily endured
knows how to run ship
at fast clip with leadership
had planned perfect trip
path properly laid
while history will be made
then into past fade
being successful
while he will be impartial
constantly cheerful
compassion and cried
in minds and hearts may abide
outside and inside
a hand does extend
and message of peace shall send
never will offend
not making insults
close friendship final results
of country is pulse
with words down raining
perfect president in training
who is entertaining
on life want new lease
for security increase
number of police
create common bond
that God did with magic wand
of Him we are fond
Jim Horn
Pernicious is having a harmful effect,
especially in a gradual or subtle way.
Insidious means proceeding in gradual,
subtle way, but with harmful effects.
Hideous means ugly or disgusting to
look at.
Pugnacious means eager or quick to
argue, quarrel, or fight
Trump consulted with mind of a mystic,
What happened was he went ballistic,
And irritated,
With being berated,
Hearing definition of each characteristic.
Jim Horn
Not only was Trump harmfully pernicious,
He had been boisterous and also insidious;
Hypocrisy,
His philosophy;
Appearing pugnacious and also hideous.
Jim Horn
There has to be a few chuckles somewhere
within you. Right!!!
Now I am going to write a poem using
above defined words.
The human antonym
Buddhist, but maleficent
Losing,but triumphant
Home, but astray
Articulate, but nothing to say
Achieving,but no ambition
Trusting, but full of suspicion
Cold hearted, but devoted
Political, but never voted
Lazy, but overworked
Level headed, but berserk
Lacks talent, but a numen
All of the above- a human
Characteristics of Caricature
Never were quite certain or ever sure,
What became Characteristics of Caricature;
Not any joking;
Very provoking;
While we had to endure the overture.
Jim Horn
