Spinning Into Control

Spinning into control
round...and...round
dizzy and found
by the Maker of the human soul

Spinning faster and faster
my life is becoming the un-disaster
feels like I'm almost whole

Years of heartache and confusion
copious mistakes and seclusion
from the world and all its delusion

Can't believe this is all it takes 
to spin into control.

Romans 8:28

If My Tongue Were a Bird

If my tongue were a bird it would be white and pure.
It would sail to the end of the heavens bringing joy to those near.
It would creep up upon danger and warn others the risk.
Cautioning mankind that a fire is spotted in the distance.

If my tongue were a bird I would set it free
To speak love, joy, and peace, and harmony.
To shower the world with Christ’s grace and truth
Grasping every opportunity to move others toward his tender loving care.

And finally, if my tongue were a bird 
I would send it on a mission
All across the globe with the Creator’s permission.
Professing hope to the broken-hearted, the lost, and the poor
Encouraging each of them to pick up their crosses and soar
Towards the heart of the Messiah who is calling all of mankind
To live a life surrendered and holy while there is still time.

Yad Vashem

Shoes
Thousands of them
Old and shriveled up like prunes
Worn leather with no luster

Shoes
Walked in by men
Men of the past who died in a scream
One loud scream
One deafening sound
An echo felt from inside my soul

Chains and memoirs
Boxcars and stolen treasures
Today I leave this museum believing I am a Jew.

The Tongue

The tongue is an intriguing thing!
It has more power than many realize.
It can divide the heavens and bring on the fury of hell. 
It can ruin someone's life! 

The tongue is a peculiar thing! 
It is a weapon and yet it is a tool. 
It can never be tamed without the power of the King of Heaven and that's Jehovah Elohim!

The tongue is a wise thing! 
Of course, if you want to display any wisdom at all. 
It can bring lives into order and it can destroy someone with a single spoken thought! 

The tongue. 

James chapter 3

The Lonely Feather

Elegantly it is ushered to the ground
Escorted by the warm currents surrounding it
It bows and it curtsies and it never takes "no" for an answer
Wanting to dance until the music of the moment surrenders

It is still.... and yet it glides....
It glides like an eagle soaring in majestic flight
Ever so often it pauses to soak up the sounds of nature
Then.... it continues on in its plight to find shelter

Dancing, bowing, and being escorted by things that cannot be seen
The faith of the little feather begins to mature
It knows not where these things come from 
Only that they have been there all along

Softly, carelessly, floating to the ground.

Wiki Leaks

Pipelines to Hell.
Orchestrated leaks.
Dangerous data with the potential to explode right in front of their faces...
Or so we would think.
Wiki leaks are sparks of volatile info released on a graphic timeline that hangs in the stinky footlocker of the beast.
You never know which angle of hell's propaganda he'll "expose" next.
Is it another scandalous love affair?
Vladimir P said what?!!!!
Let me check MY references first!!!
I'll have to get back to ya on that one!
Dinosaur fossils of the past brought forward to incite fear today.
Who woulda thunk?
Are you kidding me again?!!!
Bill Gates is actually a distant relative of the Queen?
Someone wake me up from this surreal nightmare.
Wiki leaks.
There is only one authentic thing in this poem...pssst!... It has to do with the Queen.

My Shepherd Watches Over Me

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want…
The Lord will provide all of my needs…
The Lord will bring me to quiet gentle waters…
The Lord will hush the raging streams…
He will hold me in His arms and allow me to sleep peacefully at night…
He will open my eyes each and every day…
Whatever it is that my existence requires…
The Lord of the Universe is all that I need…
Humbly come before Him upon your knees…
Bring your petitions before His Throne of Grace…
His mercy is given out freely…
Just open up your palms to the sky worshiping the One True God…
He will provide all of your needs.
What a Shepherd we have indeed!

Kenya For Christmas

Ever since I was a little girl I always knew that I would end up in Africa. Angels whispered it to me in my ears. They said to me, "One day you will travel far overseas. You will go and serve the Lord in a far off land." Well, on Christmas morning I leave to go and walk with my friends there; my friends who already share the good news of the Lord's soon arrival. Jesus Christ is the Messiah and He is coming soon.

I long to walk along the streets and share this news with everyone I meet there. They are hungry for the word of God and they are curious who this American lady is too. I stuff my pockets with candy and I put on a comfortable pair of shoes. I float all day long along the sidewalks as the angels serenade my thoughts. What a fantastic calling. What a beautiful land. I love Kenya. It's Jesus' land!

The Tongue

Such a curious creature you are!
Darting around stirring up trouble.
Saying things to bring others down all the while elevating yourself to ecstasy.
You get a ride out of insulting others!
Can you keep your barnyard shut?
Urges overtake you and wildness consumes you like a smoldering fire on the edge of a mighty forest.
When will you ever learn your lesson and be calm like a still stream?
When will you make it through a single day without hurting someone's feelings?
I wish to put a chain on you or seal your movements with super glue.
The less you operate, the better off others will be.
Tongue, when will you learn your lesson?
Will you ever keep your trap shut long enough to hear what others have to say?
Try and give it a rest! 
Will ya?
Rest a while so others can be elevated---esteemed.
Go on vacation so a little love can be received.
The tongue.

The Word of God has many wonderful references on how to tame the tongue. A great passage to read is James chapter 3.

A Masterpiece In the Sun

He worked for hours
Spinning and spinning
Concentrating like he never had before
This was the most important web he had ever spun
And the sun was due to rise in about an hour
Silken strands all arranged in the most spectacular mosaic
A stained glass window without any colors
Shiny and sophisticated
Fragile yet exuding strength
His mosaic was the Best of the Show

As the sun began to crest over the tall pines
The spider's heart began to race a million miles a minute
He held his breath and hoped that this would be the greatest Rembrandt of his life
The other creatures gathered around
Inspecting the art work of the very worn spider
Applause! Applause, again and again!
They liked it and it was just a simple flower
He spun the most delicate flower he had ever saw which sat adjacent to his most elegant web
He wanted to capture a moment in time
A moment when the dew hit the petals of the dainty flower that he had inspected for hours over the past few days
Now he had scored a home run with his forest friends
An almost exact replica of his adoring flower

Wisdom

Wisdom is a charm that I wear closely around my neck

I hold it firmly and study it when I feel challenged by the day's events

I understand from Whom I have received this gift 

He delivers unto me each deep breath

I inhale and savor the air I breathe

And slowly discover that I am nothing without the wisdom of God


Wisdom is a cavern

It goes on forever and ever

If you yell loud enough an echo will emerge and fill your heart

Telling you things that you never dreamed of


Wisdom is a pearl

It cannot be found unless you are meant to find it

It must then be polished and placed in a special container

Because the world will take it and it will lose its luster

It is not meant to be mishandled

It is meant to be cared for with the rest of the delicate things


Wisdom is found only through the guidance of our Creator

It is a gift and is not to be taken for granted

He chooses carefully who He delivers it to

Often times we wait until it's way overdue

Sometimes He hand delivers it 

Wisdom.

If Your Heart Were a Pillow

It’s time to close my eyes and go to sleep and all I can think of is your magnificent heart. It is soft and sensitive and cradles my thoughts. It’s the topic of most of the conversations in my head.  “Your heart is the most beautiful in the universe!” I said. I long to lay down on it like a soft pillow for the rest of my life. I can even hear its ever constant pace. It pitters and patters until my lashes softly close. It’s like a smooth ticking clock that is wound for eternity. 

If your heart were a pillow I would rest my hair on it each and every night. I would never share it with a single soul. I would nestle up close to it and for once my life would seem whole. Every pain in my life would be instantly erased. If only your heart were my pillow my life would seem whole.

The Sky Painter

I ran out to see You this evening. 
To see the spectacular image that You painted just for me.
Every night it is something unique and designed with the greatest effects.
Splashes of love and compassion with the waning of a coral blue sky.
The perfect sunset to close out my day.
A glorious exclamation mark against varying crimson lights.
You are my Picasso as a stare up at the sunset.
I stand in awe and begin to sing you a lullaby.
I lift up my praise to the greatest Sky Painter of all time.
You are the Mighty King who longs to come back and sweep Your holy children off their feet.
You keep drawing us closer and closer to Your Heart each and every day.

I wonder as I stand here at dusk…
How many more sunsets until I get to look into Your eyes?
I know you are looking down from Your throne as I stand here in awe of Your perfect painting tonight.

My 25 Hour Day

If I could just have more time!

There is never enough hours in the day!

Going here and going there.

No time for a breath of fresh air!

If I could reinvent the clock I would do things differently.

I would add an extra hour of time.

I would scramble like a high octane woman. 

Just to enjoy this 25th hour of mine!

I would use this hour to soak up more sunshine.

To stand amidst the shade trees.

To listen to the awesome sounds of nature.

To roll around in a pile of autumn leaves!

I would selfishly savor this extra hour.

Not sharing it with anyone else.

But just to take some time with my Creator.

And unravel from the stress of this life.

The 25th hour would be all mine.

I could do with it whatever I please.

The rest of the world would have to place their clocks on hold.

Just so they could catch up with me!

My Psalm of Praise

Dance for the Lord all throughout the day!
Sing a beautiful song unto our King!
How many sunsets til He arrives in the skies?
How many days til the trumpets sound?
How can I keep this God of mine to myself?
He needs proclaimed to the masses.
He is worthy of all our praise!
I sing a beautiful song unto the King of Glory!
How many notes are crowded in my heart ready to burst out in exaltation?
Each measure has more melodies than I can count or record.
I sing a million scores of love for my King.
Vibrato, crescendo, decrescendos,… each unfolding in perfect succession.
Pouring out all of my emotion at His nail-scarred feet.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus, come.
My heart is waiting on You.
