March 8 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Deuteronomy 29-31
Key Verse – Deuteronomy 29:12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO MAKES HIS COVENANT WITH US
Praise be to God for making His covenant with us:
Saving repentant souls from peril of sin-hell’s plagues
Showing great miracles midst prevalence of diseases’ potency
Securing prosperous days against poverty-propelled pressure
Settling heavenly mansions despite persistence of sorrow and pain
Satisfying dedicated service along peaceful prayer pursuits
Deuteronomy 30:20 Praise be to the Lord Who
is our life we should willingly obey since He:
Lengthens our days with blessings’ rain
Loves to hear our requests, granting us bestowments’ replenishment
Listens to our cry, ready to bring to us blissfulness’ revival
Lifts our spirituality while working on our beauty’s rejuvenation
Leads our steps toward body-building’s refreshment and restoration
Deuteronomy 31:3 Praise be to the Saviour
for going before us by His:
Commandments as He drives us from pride toward praise
Compassion as He directs us from perversion toward perfection
Courage as He disciplines us from problem-panic toward peace of patience
Comfort as He deters us from pessimism toward purposefulness
Charge as He defends us from pestilence toward progress-prosperity. Amen!

During my elementary, high school and college educational quest,
I struggled to do my very best on every mathematical test.
I was a "B" student in English, History and Art as I recall,
But I never mastered the mysteries of mathematics at all!
Basic arithmetic such as division and multiplication left me at sea.
Even simple addition and subtraction overwhelmed me to a degree!
Trying to conquer the times-table gave me a shocking jolt!
Alas, teachers considered me a hopeless mathematical dolt!
Geometry baffled me as to which were acute and obtuse angles,
And even more perplexing were isosceles and scalene triangles!
Beyond me were the formulas for figuring the areas of hexagons,
Trapezoids, pyramids, circles, cubes and five-sided pentagons!
Teachers told me that for my future, algebra was indispensable.
Maybe so, but variables and coefficients were incomprehensible!
My limited intellect couldn't comprehend quotients and binomials,
Nor integrers, exponents, irrational numbers and trinomials!
Needless to say, I didn't attempt calculus or trigonometry!
Those disciplines were as foreign to me as parabolic geometry!
I'm eternally grateful to that selfless, ingenioius creator,
Who eased my plight by inventing the handy calculator!

April 22 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on 2Kings 4-5
Key Verse – 2Kings 4:33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
HEART THAT PRAYS UNTO THE LORD
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who reproves our bad motives
As well as our doubtfulness due to humanistic perspectives---
He disciplines us from craving for worldly incentives
By His principles’ directives.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who rebukes our hypocritical secrecy
As well as our discontentment when we feel insufficiency---
He straightens us up for our supplication-fervency
By His mercy’s persistency.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who restrains our earthly desires
As well as our carnal yearnings for temporal wealth that soon expires---
He guards us so as not to plunge into lustfulness’ mires
By His revival fires.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who smites our offensive indolence
As well as our disobedient silence---
He awakens us from fruitlessness’ opulence
By His working’s prevalence.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who negates our opposing disposition
As well as our wrong direction---
He leads us toward Scriptural action
By His sanctification’s transformation.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who subdues our shameful haughtiness
As well as our arrogant selfishness---
He builds us up for faith-strengthened service-effectiveness
By His perfection’s holiness.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who corrects our wrong choice
As well as our proud poise---
He upholds us so we can submit to Him against deception’s noise
By His truth’s conviction as in Him we always rejoice.

(“Before the Door”, 2023, original encaustic)
My life has been chock-full of rites of passage
From rising up through the ranks of Scouting
To completing all the grades and degrees
Of formal schooling
To the challenge and discovery
Of dangerous adventure sports
And the many misadventures they naturally provide.
It’s included being initiated into
And doing strenuous religious disciplines
And the good old all-American discipline
Of raising and supporting a family.
It’s also included the pain and suffering
Of life-threatening injuries and accidents
And heart-threatening divorces.
But in all of this, looking back in retirement,
I’m not sure I ever got a complete rite of passage experience.
Did I somehow miss a step
Or feel the next level would give
What the last hadn’t?
Was there an insatiable need for more,
Bigger, better, more powerful hits of Life
To prepare me for what,
A bigger scope and experience of Living?
Was I stuck, and am I still,
In some arrested development;
Part way out of a shell, cracked but hard as iron
A soul confused by what it means to manifest?
Maybe it wasn’t just a matter of becoming
A more mature person
As much as a more complete being,
One whose idea of complete while incomplete
Is ever expanding.
From the perspective of the Infinite
What is an appropriate Rite of Passage?
From the perspective of God
What is the step we have to take
To be complete?
Complete surrender, complete realization,
Complete and perfect communion
Effort and release
To complete the path we youthfully took up in vain
Before we ever could conceive
It is, and always has been, without end…

I find
hear
see
right hemisphere prominently feel,
But cannot quite touch
something sexy
about left/right cooperatively resonant
waves of wealthy ego-rooting
eco-rooted health.
I suppose
whether felt as sexy
or more generically sensory,
depends on neurological origin
and completion
of sensory information
and climatic exportation.
Spiritual resonance experiences qualities
of our multicultural
EarthBound journey together
and apart
As naturally resilient outcomes
of felt left/right integrity,
glimpsed and heard
when resonantly touched,
bring consensual pleasure
And,
sometimes,
as inclusively appropriate
invited
graced,
Sensually sexy disciplines
of physical passion,
metaphysical waves
of revolutionary
resonant compassion
minding
and reminding
20/20 loving insight
through restoring
by healing
global EarthJustice integrity,
sensory spirit of sexual nature.

He told a crowd of people
that his thought was the person in question
could not handle
the beauty of the woman he loved.
Not mentioning that he
had intentions on making
the mans life miserable.
He lacks what he needs to
be capable to secure and
keep the woman of his desire
there he cursed what he was doing
a demanding woman either
is against a thyme frame
in her head
or has been justified in why
she is allowed to treat a man
a certain way. The Obeoist is a
Strong willed woman. She lacks
compassion for anyone who
pursues her. Even if she
kind enough to be his freind.
Written by a Strong Willed Man
Steig Mi-ah Linagraff of Stoughtiey
His freind Varg refused to tell him
she belived in things that had no discription.
Hrafn Kiseer" You aint Man enough to do
what she needs".

I painted your heart today
anatomically correct and expectation abstract,
on canvas skin of stretched soul, taut extreme,
mixed media of memory, mania,
love fire and ire,
mixed disciplines of desire, devotion,
death and divinity,
Primed with a thick coating
of blood cream passion,
I used my thumb nails to outline
It's pump of pride,
I began with a pallette of poetry,
Midnight Blue, Angel White,
and Crimson Ink Sweat,
shaping muscle walls with palms
sliding through wet ache
brining together youth and wisdom
in hot pink,
I lay your veins enroute to the truth
of our pulse,
they glow violet in vast want
of virtue uncriticized,
purple oxygen and new born orange
unite into fresh flame
dancing on a breath of forever,
I bite a star into existence
and it shimmers into a simmer
of heated spit,
I have brushed your heart
into love incognito,
fine hazel sable tip tickling contours
that expand consciousness
into renewed innocence,
I can hear your laughter on the edge
of my pallette knife,
sighs that speak of heartbeat ecstacy,
and moans that mention the end of Time,
I trace our names
with my barbarous tongue
into the blood flow of our destiny,
heart dripping dreams,
spilling secrets into Future's wilderness,
using my sorrow sharpened teeth
and hands of tender iron,
I rip this heart work in half savagely,
and it bleeds unto the feet
of my need for You,
I frame the parts
within gilded tears of tragedy,
to reimind me of how love suffers,
a torn canvas makes two paintings,
that a heart in love cannot be two -
