The art of practicing goodness and kindness on line, is hereby dedicated to Danial Darling's book about those topics. He appeared on today's 700 Club on TBN.***
With so much hatred and rage over flowing like Noah's flood,
happening in our society today. It is spilling over to our online
digital world. It is filled with hurtful words of bitterness and hate.
But why wait until tomorrow, because tomorrow may never come?
To say you are sorry, for your hurtful words, and that you made a bad
mistake. The art of practicing goodness and kindness on line, can
help build bridges to better relationships.
But the online digital world must not replace face to face communication.
Which is still possible with COVID's guidelines for social distancing.
In order for us not to lose the art and the practice of personal
relationships and friendships.
This world would be a better and safer and gentler place. In order for us to live and raise our families. We must not neglect, the art of practicing goodness. And kindness both in person and online. We will enjoy having peace of mind. We will not always agree, but we must not forget to practice common courtesy.
We must put our faith and trust upon the broad shoulders of Jesus
Christ. He is both the author and source of our everlasting life. He paid the
ultimate sacrifice to redeem our lost souls! He always never forgot practicing
the art of forgiveness.
We are instructed to love one another as he first loved us. The art of practicing kindness and goodness is still relevant in our contemporary world we live in today. Just because we live in the 21st century! Does not mean, we can forfeit and leave behind. Common decency and common courtesy. Always remember, whatever you may do. its how you treat and respect others. Will become exactly the same way they treat and respect you!
Love in Christ Jesus!

they say i need
a hook but i don't
have a line
i'm just sitting
by the side of
the pond
tossing rocks
in and watching
time lines ripple
))))) ))) )) )
i taught my
first wife how
to skip a stone
across water like
quick jesus on
the meniscus
of stepping
stones in
steps
she played
in amazement at
the holy gracefullness
that they each
and every
one did
the
same
again and again...
though he a carpenter
in a land without
wood would
have most
likely
hung
on a
cross
of his own
construction
instructed by his
stepfather to step up
make a stand
make them
stop their
hands in
mid
motion
as if floating
putting together palms
and fingers held in prayer
unaware that they're there
not in
a church
nor a chapel
that there's no
steeple for
the people
or sheeple
together to
flock and
after all
that's
what the
preacher
calls
them
barking
at the
pulpit
culprits
Form:
9/11 Wasn't Heaven. Take it from one who was there.
Corpses, body parts, impaled bodies were most of what I saw there.
9/11 Wasn't Heaven but not because of the horror I saw.
On 9/11 I learned to hate. I never felt hatred before.
We were all instructed to bring to a certain section anything that may contain DNA.
A hair brush, make up kit, anything that may identify the forever lost in this grave.
I spent most of my time on what was known as "The bucket brigade,"
an assembly line of us passing buckets of debris with hope of saving they who were buried.
Every now and then something caught my eye.
New visions of horror never thought could be seen by I.
Someone with a heavy push broom pushing debris
and then that someone stops suddenly
and picks up what appears to me
a piece of carpet very carefully.
After my closer inspection however of checking the carpet out
I then came to realize, it wasn't a piece of carpet. What it was was someones scalp.
The buckets kept coming, never stopping, never ending
but still out of the corner of my eye kept drawing my attention.
Like a zombie I broke away from the bucket brigade
I think I was beginning to feel afraid
of what it would be
that was drawing me
and coming with every step much closer to me.
I bent over and picked up a mangled Barbi doll.
"Are you going to come across the corpse of a child?
This doll may have some DNA
of some poor child lost in all this decay."
With those thoughts I made an about face
and made a B line to the DNA place,
I deposited the doll
and then ran off like a frightened child.
I Had To Get Out Of This Place!
I no sooner got home
when guilt hit me like a thrown stone.
While showering all of the days grime off of me
I broke down in the shower and cried like a baby hysterically.
"How could you be such a coward? How could you run off on all of them?
How could you abandon all of they who aren't dead and still living?
How could you be such a coward? How could you run and hide?"
I've learned since then that I wasn't a coward. I was traumatized,
but sadly to this day
the only way
I live with myself for running away
is because it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
My presence wouldn't have made a difference. No One Survived.
Sometimes on my morning walk,
When no one is around,
I’ll pass by a photographer
And know that I am bound
To see a dressed-up couple,
Posed and smiling, thinking of
The lovely pics to show to all
To prove their new-found love.
With the river in the background,
It’s a lovely urban scene,
But today had something added,
Not the usual routine.
For the couple was instructed
To run straight, as they did do,
To the spot upon the promenade
Where pigeons strut and coo.
The startled birds all lifted up
And circled in the air
As the camera person snapped away,
The pigeons everywhere.
The happy couple laughed,
Then all the birds flew down to roost,
For some New York flair into those pics
They’d surely introduced.
Tulip Larry was being groomed for the role of fairy.
He required a lot of assistance,
Since the form letter discovered his existence.
Received in the mail during a winter of hail.
Tulip Larry read the instructions that came with the kit.
"Do read before doing.
The instructions are specific!
We hope you are not very hairy,
Since you've chosen to play the role of fairy.
Without further ado,
This is what you must do:
First pluck any extraneous hair,
Until your visage is quite fair.
Next try on the tutu for fit.
Practice bowing at the knee without doing a split.
Finally, Take the gold wings and attach them firmly to your shoulders.
The play will begin at ten after ten.
Please don't arrive after then!"
Tulip Larry spent the day turning into a fairy,
He was instructed to play.
Close to the time he was due to leave,
A knock came at his cabin door.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
He had followed the instructions down to a T.
Could even bow at the knee!
"Why should I let you in?
I might be the best fairy to begin!"
The small voice began to shout,
"The kit was sent to you by mistake,
Now give it up before I am late!"
Tulip Larry softly said, "I'll make you a deal.
I want to know how a fairy will feel.
Let me keep half the kit and we can go as fairy twins."
They agreed to the deal and were a hit.
They kept the outfit looking nice.
Now Tulip Larry had a vice,
Became a star every Friday and Saturday night!
Christian And The Tiger
Christian returned from church
Feeling worse for the experience;
Sunday!
Restless with nothing to do
Christian decided to visit the zoo.
The people there were strolling about:
Arm in arm, hand in hand, and in places
Mouth in mouth,
Black people, yellow people, white people
And children lost, crying for a policeman
As their mothers instructed.
The hippo yawned at the man in Bermudas snapping pictures;
A thin woman threw peanuts which the elephant ignored;
The zebra defecated, intensely studied by a soldier.
The reptiles were motionless:
An alligator stared mysteriously, like eyes behind sunglasses;
The monkeys were bored, except for the gorilla
Whish put a half-orange in its mouth and smiled — Sunkist
The restless cats all paced their cells
Except a tiger keeping silent vigil on the passing crowd.
Christian stood alone with the cat, saddened in its plight,
Letting remorse wash over him until ...
It was even stronger than the smell from the Bengal’s cage.
Then he gripped the rail retainer and cried aloud,
‘Release the tiger! Let him be free like me.’
His voice echoed but went unheard.
The tiger, tilting its head to the left,
Spoke:
‘Weep not for me, Christian;
Know you not that we are both imprisoned?
Your cell is merely larger, with more companions;
I was once free; can you say the same, O sad one?
As you see me, so I see you:
Behind bars.
Tell me, Christian,
For which captive do you weep?’
The truth the tiger spoke
Shocked him more than the situation
So Christian left the beast to his silent vigil.
He roamed the boulevard
Window-shopping with his thoughts
Until the sun was setting.
Then, with gnawing hunger
He paced the silent steps
To his row home and supper
And the remainder of Sunday’s routine.
Back at the zoo — it was feeding time
E.J. Hudak ca. 1969
Do it without trying
Begin by swinging from chandeliers when home
Wear matching multicolored harlequin costumes
Equip yourselves with harmonicas and bazookas
Keep lubricants and trampolines near by for safety
Practice lunar landings in your room
Resume your activities in the great outdoors
Do sex in a car when speeding
Bring a partner or spare tire if desired
Avoid police if so inclined
Drive eighty miles an hour at all times
Watch out for sharp curves if they object
Narrow mountain roads are watching
Keep one eye on the road while inserting
Headlights and moon glow set the mood
Never use puppets when in an auto
Open highways are open to suggestion
Mating should only occur in flight
Eat oysters raw when in the air
Climb to greater heights by sneezing
Use Airplanes for best results
Jump from wing to wing
Wear a parachute and a pirates patch
Use only one to avoid catastrophes
Take lessons from cartoons
To find out who you are
Leave farm animals and zoo creatures alone
Plants and vegetables are out of the equation
Milking a cow is taboo too… Don't do it!
Wear rubber gloves if you must
Position yourselves to be lazy
In opposite directions as instructed
Never have sex face to face
Back to back is better
Jump on the bed for comfort
Apparatuses are optional for you and amateurs
Avoid them at all cost
They cost too much
Watch out for babies! (They snore)
Never run them over of course
It's against the law
And down right crazy
Such activity could lead to divorce
Pregnancy can be fun
Instructions are on the dashboard
But first you must buy or rent a car
Before you floor it

(Too many colors can cause distractions)
jealously he sat watching
thinking, believing,
and knowing
he could sing it better.
he heard the intro's
and took que along with
the vocalist , background
singers, and the orchestra
from the audience he
watched jealously waiting until
the orchestra instructed
him to began singing
he wished and wanted
to be the person he admired
the guy standing on stage
he wanted his fame his fortune
he practiced walking like him
talking like him
singing like him and even writing like him
his now envious egoistic mindset had
ibanez Rickenbacker and W. Hekel Linton
made him a specktical until
poeple listened to him sing
woman adored him
he fathered several
children being someone else
this night he sat and watched his star perform
and as he was in a trance he stood
and sang his song word
for word with the
famous star
unknowing to him the famous
performer had heard of his doings
and he even knew he was there
he stopped sing and waved him on stage
to the delight of several people how
knew what was happening
verse two during the the alto's
reintroduction to the channel
that began the third verse
he pronounced each word
with perfect grace and grooming elegance
each word as crisp as a frost covered morning
at the beginning of the new chorus
he bowed still singing and handed the micro phone to
he handed him the micro phone
and took a step back to watch his favorite perform
do his thing
at the end of the song he was introduced
and told he'd have a contract audition
via this performance
it was the beginning of a great storied career
I hail here from the church with the flags -
Representation of a multicultural congregation,
A piece of heaven, heartbeat
of light and dark faces.
We praise in harmony with our Creator and angels,
In communion as we are meant to be,
multigenerational too.
We gather together loving one another, singing His songs,
Instructed in godliness every week and on our own
At home we bond with the Lord our God,
on our knees,
Hands spread wide, and meditate on God’s holy Word.
We share in sorrow and pain
with our fellow man
Along with joy and happiness
at each one’s gain.
My favorite part, I listen with a tear’s sheen and with a smile
Let freedom ring, a dream come true.
God’s wings spread wide.
Heaven sighs.
