"i Put On For My City"

"I put on for my city" is the latest hip hop song
it tells about what one represents and from where one belongs
the first artist raps about his material possessions
the second one pontificates on his personal obsessions
the third one emphasizes his popularity 
and the last one brags about his prosperity
but "I put on for my city" fails to say one little thing
they never mention the city nor the people who gave them everything
to put on for one's city is about representing positively
by your words and actions what you have done for your community
it's not just about you but what you have done for others
it's about putting on to pay forward your fellow sisters and brothers

a Centurion one day asked Jesus for a little help
he said his trusted servant was suffering from a case of bad health
he himself had some authority over many soldiers and servants
he had the respect of many whom to him were trusted and deserving
but he humbled himself before Jesus in a manner most persistent
he went to the Messiah and pleaded for His divine assistance
he heard his servant's cry and knew he could do no other
but to seek out the Lord Christ in order to help out a brother
he put on for his city for his servant he did represent
he put the needs of others before his own, he did what was decent
he sought out the Divine and appealed to the Lord our God
for he knew with a true faith he'd be given the desires of his heart
he sought out the Divine and with God foremost on his mind
he aroused the interest of the Son and the Father blessed him in kind

just don't treat the Lord Jesus like a tire that's a spare
when you only call on Him in times of your despair
and don't treat the Lord God like He's doing you a favor
for He knows what's in your heart and is aware of your behavior
he put on for his servant and to the Savior he did appeal
that Centurion had a true belief that was the real deal
and then Jesus the Christ with His authority and with His power
told that Centurion to "go" and it was done at that very hour
to put on for your city to represent the Lord our God
to put on for the kingdom with righteousness in your heart


Depart From Me For I Never Knew You

www,gods-book.com

In the quiet of the night, they come, 
Voices raised, hearts undone. 

“Lord, Lord,” they cry, with fervent plea, 
"Have we not prophesied in Your name, faithfully?

We cast out demons, healed the sick, 
In Your name, our hearts did quick. 

But in the silence, a voice so clear,
“Depart from Me, for I never knew you, My dear.”

For deeds alone, though grand they seem, 
Cannot replace a heart redeemed. 

In love and truth, we find our way, 
To walk with Him, each blessed day.

So seek not just the works of hand, 
But know His heart, and understand. 

For in His grace, we find our place, 
In the warmth of His eternal embrace.



This verse is from Matthew 7:22-23, where Jesus is teaching about the importance of genuine faith and relationship with Him, rather than just performing religious acts. 

Here’s a deeper look into its meaning:

Context: 

This passage is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus addresses various aspects of righteous living and warns against false prophets.

Meaning:

•	“Many will come and say, ‘Lord, Lord’”: This indicates that many people will claim to know Jesus and call Him their Lord.

•	“Have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons, and healed the sick?”: These are significant religious acts, suggesting that the people believe their works should earn them favor with Jesus.

•	“And I will proclaim, ‘Depart from Me, for I never knew you!’”: Jesus emphasizes that mere actions, even miraculous ones, are not enough. What matters is a true, personal relationship with Him.

Key Takeaways:

1.	Genuine Relationship: Jesus values a sincere, personal relationship over outward religious activities.

2.	Heart Over Deeds: It’s not just about what we do, but the state of our heart and our connection with Him.

3.	Warning Against Hypocrisy: This serves as a warning to those who might rely solely on their works without truly knowing Jesus.
This verse encourages believers to focus on cultivating a deep, authentic relationship with Jesus, rooted in love and faith, rather than just performing religious duties.

Analysis of Love of Pink and Blue

The poem "Love of Pink and Blue" tells a tragic tale of two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, whose love was doomed by the feud between their families. The use of pink and blue as symbols of their love adds a unique and poignant touch to the poem.

The first stanza sets the scene and introduces the central metaphor of the poem: the love between Romeo and Juliet is like a bloom of pink and blue. The colors are described as bright and true, which implies a sense of authenticity and sincerity in their love.

The second stanza begins to introduce the conflict that threatens their love. The pink of Juliet's blushing cheeks and the blue of Romeo's passionate eyes symbolize the purity and intensity of their love. However, their families' feud serves as a barrier to their relationship, emphasizing the external forces that prevent them from being together.

The third stanza introduces the clandestine nature of their love. They meet in secret under the moonlight, and swear their love to each other, which creates a sense of intimacy and sincerity. However, their colors are described as clashing, which hints at the inevitable conflict that will arise from their relationship.

The fourth stanza describes the tragic end of their love. The families' wrath is too great to overcome, and the lure of their colors ultimately seals their fate. The use of the word "lure" is significant, as it implies that their love was irresistible, but ultimately destructive.

The final stanza emphasizes the tragedy of their love. Their hearts, represented by the colors pink and blue, are broken by the end of their relationship. The use of the word "fate" implies a sense of inevitability, and the poem ends on a mournful note.

Overall, "Love of Pink and Blue" is a beautifully crafted poem that uses colors as a powerful metaphor to convey the tragedy of forbidden love. The language is evocative and the imagery is vivid, which makes for a memorable and emotionally resonant reading experience.

A Republic, if you can keep it






Apocrypha phantoms
Hustle flung at your plugged ears
Wretched refuse numbed






_____

NOTES:

TITLE:




When asked what form of government the delegates at the Constitutional Convention had created, Benjamin Franklin famously responded with "A republic, if you can keep it," implying that the success of the republic depended on the active participation and responsibility of its citizens. 


Franklin's statement established the new nation as a republic, a form of government where power ultimately resides in the people, exercised through elected representatives. 

*    "If you can keep it":

This phrase highlights the fragility of a republic and the critical role of citizen vigilance in maintaining its principles. Franklin was cautioning that a republic is not guaranteed, but requires active involvement and commitment from the people. 

*    Active participation and responsibility:

The phrase emphasizes that a republic requires a citizenry that is informed, engaged, and willing to defend their rights and freedoms. It suggests that without this active participation, the republic could be at risk of becoming something else—perhaps a tyranny or an authoritarian state. 

*    Context:

Franklin's response was given after the Constitutional Convention concluded in 1787. He was emphasizing the importance of a system of checks and balances within the government to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. He also understood the need for an engaged populace to hold their elected officials accountable.

A To Z---Pay Attention To Me

Authentic acknowledges each dedicated example.
Boisterous is a good trait to have.
Courage highlights all the struggles encountered.
Devotion is a needed reminder.
Emptiness should be filled with compassionate moments.
Fabulous signifies most standards.
Greatness emphasizes our mothers and fathers.
Helpful is a useful example.
Inspirations are reasons to feel included and praised.
Joyful means happiness and laughter.
Kindness comes from our sons and daughters. Perfection is a natural conclusion.
Music is the key to relaxation and movement.  Energy is constantly flowing.
Nasty is ugly no matter how it's displayed.  Play nice when others refuse to.
Optimistically make decisions, hopefully good over bad.
Politely represent life in a formal description.  Summarize all seconds and minutes, which leads to hours, followed by weeks, months and years.  Treat them as rewarded achievements.
Quietly pray when times are troubled.  God and his Angels will respond to those issues. They're never too busy to answer.
Remove all pain and fill it with sunshine.  Best friends will faithfully assist you.
Spectacular will frame that gratification.  Cherish and honor forever.
Treat life in general as an ultimate blessing.
Understand that many things aren't pleasant.
Very carefully manifest a plan for changes.
Wondering won't get the job finished.
Xerox your mind with your personal thoughts.  Never release words of printed displeasures.
Yearn for desires and appreciate success.  
IN SINCERE RECOGNITION----
Zestfully  praise your mother for the day you were born.  Nurturing  beautifully describes her.  A flamboyant queen, in a well-deserved kingdom, sitting on her golden throne.  Remember her and the person you are.  A doubled reflection of the finest creations.

Premium Member The Courting Never Ends

Two weeks before 
we share our vows,
in my Miller Hospital
x-ray scrubs, I sit, 
a lull in the activity
of the morning exams
with Helen, a fellow 
wheel chair jockey.
Closely she examines me,
“Do you want to have
a happy marriage?” I
nod in affirmation.
“Do you know the secret?”
“No,” slips quietly from
my lips, “Do you want
to know?” “Yes, of 
course.” Her eyes
flash behind her
glasses, accentuating
her words, “The courting
never ends. The courting
never ends.” 

She reads the puzzlement
that paints my face,
with exclamation points
behind each word
she emphasizes, “You
must never stop
dating your wife.”
Stories of Friday night
steak dinners, with
her deceased lover
of many years,
during a shared
lifetime peppered
with want and plenty.
Her words repeated
until locked In my 
subconscious, our
brief, intense encounter
interrupted by the
needs of another
hospital patient.

I sit here with you
on our date night,
our baby in a high
chair, our two
very young sons
at their places 
around the small
rectangular table
in our kitchen.
Two Dairy Bar pizzas,
a pepperoni for the
boys, the supreme
for you and me,
Gerbers for the baby,
a poor substitute
for steak on a
Friday night, but
one meal you will
not cook, just enjoy. 

Date night
is not what it 
once was, but
our love requires
some small gesture,
even in poverty, 
of just being with 
each other, two
lovers with the
evidence of their
love around them,
enjoying a piece
of locally made
pizza, with the words
of an old German
x-ray aide echoing
from long before,
“The courting never
ends. The courting
never ends.”

Premium Member My answer is affirm No to his request

Just name the day, and I will be there.  
This morning, the notification bells woke me up.  
With sleep still in my eyes, I reached for my phone.  
The tone lingered from that text in my ear:  
"Annie, I love you, despite the tears."  

We cannot ignore the world and its negativity.  
A love like ours is clean and pure.  
Love doesn’t have to shout; it resides in the honesty of a true confession.  
Loving another person requires effort and commitment.  
True love can be as simple as a newborn's trust in its mother;  
There’s an immediate connection.  

As we gaze into each other’s eyes,  
We smile and acknowledge our past.  
We both made our fair share of lies, each trying to outdo the other.  
Was I the king of liars, or was he King Lear?  
Balancing honesty with vulnerability is key.  
Listen attentively, respond with warmth,  
And communicate with body language.  
I will hold my ground, and this fool will get back to you.  

My interpretation of "fear not, want not" emphasizes that we often misjudge each other.  
My greatest concern is why he walked  
The dark streets of Accra at 3 a.m.  
That’s when my psychoanalysis skills come into play:  
The boy seeks love in familiar territories,  
Chasing the street love of his childhood dreams.  

I told him not to cut his hair;  
That youthfulness can be deceiving.  
Older men often take advantage of that desperate youth,  
And that boyish charm can lead to trouble:  
“Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meat.”  

So, this morning, my answer is a firm no. 
 
You can often gauge a man by how he behaves when he is hungry.
