God Created Us For a Purpose
God created us for a purpose
He created us because…
He wants to share His life
On earth where He made this possible
Though it's full of hardship & strife
To grow & multiply we are capable!
God created us for a purpose
He created us because…
He wants to share His goodness
To those who have heart, mind & soul
It's us, humans, who are created in His likeness
Whatever, whoever – we are all His people!
God created us for a purpose
He created us because…
He wants to share His joy in heaven
To those who know, love & serve Him
Through Jesus, His Son, who will come again
On the Day of Judgment & Cataclysm!

*1st Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet
When God becomes a Father, as it’s mean’t to be,
he no longer judges, you or me.
He begins to help us, as in life we live,
as we daily go, the more to Him we give.
He loves us all, He wants us all to see,
as He teaches us each day, how a parent be.
We fall short of Him, each and every day,
he still loves us, in His Fatherly Way.
He doesn’t want to judge us, this we have to see,
all He wants, is to be a Father, to you and me.
Only to those who don’t believe, yet they have their choice,
just two words, He waits to hear from their voice.
I believe, from the trueness of the heart,
as from their lips, these words they do part.
with these two words, the changes that they bring,
on that day of judgment, our testimonies sing.
For He became our Father, not to judge us, you see,
God will judge, but a Father to us He be.
His Spirit guides us daily, keeping us in his way,
so, we have no fear, of that judgment day.
In this world torn by shadows, my love, I wonder,
Why do the wounds I bear for you demand proof of blood,
As if the blooming of roses needed witnesses?
I hate this world, I hate the way it forces me to hide,
What should never be concealed, my love for you.
Perhaps... perhaps on the day of judgment, when souls strip away lies,
I will find you there, under the gaze of the Almighty,
With trembling hands and a shattered voice, I will whisper... Yes...
Yes, from the heart, from the deepest corners of my being, I loved you.
It was pure, it was... it was just love. Until that day comes,
I will drag this heart through the dust of this cruel world,
Hating it for forcing me to prove my love...
Hating it for making me this way. And in the paradox of my love,
Like a seagull lost between clouds of lead and a sea of steel,
I will continue to soar, even in the face of opposing winds,
For love, my love, is a labyrinth with no exit and no beginning.
December 7th 1941
Japan invades Pearl Harbor.
Another useless war.
Attack on American soil.
Surprise military strike on December 7th 1941.
Oahu, Hawaii, a neutral area.
7:48 am with 354 fighters in the air.
Dive bombers, torpedo bombers.
2,400 Americans from our Military were killed.
The damage is done.
For what reason?
War was provoked.
The deadliest foreign attack on the U.S.
War over territory.
War is never ending.
Always about oil, power and land.
Foreign leaders with no spiritual direction.
They brought this to our front door step.
History of another war.
(President in1941)
(Franklin D. Roosevelt)
Still to this day, enemies continue to fight.
Over oil and territory.
Nothing ever changes.
What a sad day of judgment.
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew 12: 34-40
One hundred years on
Our Waste Land we celebrate
Desiccated and dry as a desert
Within our dehumanised souls
Where the tumbleweed of untruth
Sits with such disconnection
From reality,
Myriad voices peddling the myths of the madhouse
Your untruth is not mine
So far apart are we
Secure yet blinded by our own beliefs
Unanchored and ill- founded
Estranged from the truth
And dead to fact
Our refusal to recognise the denatured race
Of our reckless rush
Towards the day of judgment
Destruction and damnation.
False narratives to gullible audiences play,
Such siren songs solipsistically
Softly sing us to our graves,
Fragmentation our final fate
Emotion eclipsing reason.
The sinner starts to repent
To avoid endless torment
On the great day of judgment.

Have a great birthday, dear Syril,
The day of judgment is so close;
Life will be brought to a standstill,
There will be no more highs and lows.
Topic: Birthday of Syril Monica DR. Aviles (March 28)
Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur
Day of Judgment, Day of Atonement
Weeping openly in synagogue
Praying for our very lives
As if our hair were on fire...
Sukkoth, Festival of Tabernacles
Celebrating the Harvest
The Spiritual and Agricultural
Offerings brought for each
Nation of the World
One festival left now
No more weeping
Only one offering
To Him, the King of Kings
Celebrating Him and
the Torah He gave us
Dancing with pure Joy
on Simchas Torah
Hallelujah!

C-hrist's commandment,
K-eep your soul safe till the day of judgment.
Form: Acrostictractys
Perchance is death a deep unaware sleep
Bestowed to help forget what all had been,
And soul that must depart a date to keep,
Should soon, with a baggage of debt unseen,
Summoned when to heavenly firmament,
Divinity where sits in sole judgment—
Day of reckoning to review progress—
Correcting course, Day of Judgment for some,
Soul standing trial, soul the sole witness—
And then return, back to a solar dome,
To pick up karmic thread whence it had left,
In a new life-raft sailing all alone—
To weave his life’s fabric, warp with the weft,
A life set sails by destiny unknown.
_____________________________________________
Baggage of debt: With the body dead, soul must leave alone. But it has to carry the Karmic baggage, good and bad, subtle memories and sublime impressions in the unconscious deep awareness which accompanies it on its onward journey, in a new raft of life— to weave a new karmic fabric.

S-alvation is drawing near,
A-s we ought to understand;
R-ight path is offered by
A-lmighty's loving
H-and.
D-elight and joy June third
A-re truly heaven-sent;
Y-ou will live eternally
O-n the day of judgment.
N-everending deep affection
E-manates from the heart;
L-ove of a lifetime
I-s like a work of

Z-one of deep affection
U-ses the tender attachment;
L-ove that lasts forever,
U-ntil the day of judgment.
E-arly seventeenth of January,
T-hink of the great emotion;
A-n eternal kind of feeling lives in the deep affection.
"The Truth of Me"
by: Eric L. Boddie
To tell the Truth of me
Is so very easy you see
Yet only few will understand
Just what makes up this man
For I desire not society's approval
Because years ago, I made a permanent removal
I am like no one else you will encounter
I strive to be as somewhat of an astounder
Because I am only going to be here once
So I try to make the best of every day of every month
And I really could care less what others think
For this is my ship and only I can cause it to sink
And that is why I Love all people the same
So on the Day Of Judgment, God wont feel ashamed
To Welcome me through His Pearly Gates
Even though He Knows my every mistake
But He Also Knows what my heart holds dear
And to which level I am honestly sincere
So my Truth is I Live to be in His Service
Failure to do so is all that makes me nervous
And that is the reason why if you ever need a friend
I will always and forever have an ear to lend....
