Whether it is lack of clothing, or dignity, or identity, be their covering. Exploitation is a crime against the human spirit.
~ DO NOT LET ANYONE DIE ON YOUR WATCH
If you see someone dying and you keep going, then you do not know that you are already dead. The life of every soul cannot be priced. We are NOT disposable
November 28 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Corinthians 1-4
Key Verse – 1Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR CALLING US
UNTO HIS FELLOWSHIP
Praise be to God for calling us unto His fellowship as His:
Called saints according to His Scriptures
Committed servants with His sacrifice-seal
Courageous soldiers, secured by His steadfastness
Consecrated stewards, sanctified along His security
Contented seekers, settled around His satisfaction’s sufficiency
I Corinthians 2:5 Praise be to the Lord for making
our faith stand on His power, not upon:
Men’s wisdom
Money’s worth
Miracles’ wealth
Mysteries’ works
Management’s ways
Maximization’s width
Materialism’s welcome
1Corinthians 3:9 Praise be to the Saviour for
inviting us to be labourers together with Him:
Planting while protected by His plan
Perspiring, being prodded in His propelling
Persevering to be purposeful along His plan
Praying with peacefulness around His promises
Progressing toward prosperity through His precepts
Pursuing for perfection in His powerful performance
Producing midst poverty with His provisions and providence
1Corinthians 4:1 Praise be to the Holy Spirit for guiding us
being His ministers:
Doing His will with dedication
Driven to His work with dedication
Dealing with co-workers with discretion
Desiring for His wisdom with determination
Delighting in His worship with devotion. Amen!

Oh, Lord, imbue me with gratitude and zeal.
Much as the red burst trailed the glistening steel.
As a possible sequel, yielding divinely may reveal.
There is no laziness but an apparent ordeal.
What if I could eagerly grasp the spirits for adoring?
Allow me to depict life out of a stance of meaning.
Sustain me to detain a brilliant guide for the amnesty.
And to their ecstatic vision and quenchless docility.
Will the seeds of cognitive empathy sprout in my mind?
Provide me with the heroic virtue of sensitivity, divined.
Sustain me in my prompt walk with God, the all-powerful.
I worship in the tiny shoes of the burdened flowerful.
Do I need to trust my intensity? And gain pride
Some suffer the ill insight of an internal guide.
May the Lord's goodness utterly define my life today?
A true impetus for massively amending wildly way.
I dearly need to be encouraged for forgiveness.
Ostensively allow me to be infused with faithfulness.
I need being for others a wellspring of graciousness.
God, support me to succeed and ensure progress.

Gypsy Fortune Teller costume revealed my most dazzling self
Wearing hot pink, silver, gold, purples, and flaming oranges.
Carrying a crystal ball, tarot cards and runes.
An elaborately embroidered shawl over my shoulders.
Enjoyed myself ever so much at the Octoberfest, reading palms.
My psychic self pranced forth, hugging my soul with delight.
Pirate Queen costume, reveals my hidden slashing self.
She looked so unassuming, they thought, until they saw me now.
My blousy sleeves set off my enormous black boots and eight inch belt.
I moved daringly, with aggressiveness I usually cannot muster.
The crowd cleared a way, seeing my determined purposeful pirate walk.
Sword and pistol attached to my side, I felt a confidence I rarely feel.
I growled at a few children and they laughed, because they knew me.
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark costume revealing more than I should have.
My sensual, sexual, excited to be me side, so I shared it only with my man.
Wearing it at home, in the bedroom where others rarely go.
He likes this one the best. Even better than my French maid costume.
Enough said.
Yang: What is the difference between a theist and an atheist?
Yin: A bicamerally balancing ego/eco-teleologist.
Yang: Well, so what's that; a teleologist?
Yin: You, if you believe the Earth is your co-gravitational
(0)-double-binding mind-spirit/body-nature center
epi-center
of wealthy egonomic
and healthy ecopolitical values,
each with equi-valent
ego/ecological
transgenerational health-care
deep wealth meaning merit.
Yang: So, who wouldn't believe that?
Yin: Probably no one.
Yang: So, why, exactly, is this an issue I need to look at right now?
Yin: Because, if you are an ecological panentheist,
then you are also a (0)-interest
co-invested bodhisattva peace warrior
poli-economist,
presumably.
Yang: Wow, I really did not see that climax coming at all!
Yintegrity: Yes, well, I get that all mind/body bipartisan time.

YangLight: You flow on too darkly rooted much
for optimally repurposed fire-power.
YinPower: Invest less in competing economic partial-trusts
and politically disharmonic insufficiency
of loving sacred beauty.
Instead,
invest in repurposing

only where your economic health flows out

YangMind: Ah, yes,
I see
our MidWay Zen
mutual reflection again,

Business As Competitively Usual,
NonSectarian missions with more effective

than patriarchal missionaries

healthy seeing and hearing integrity experience,
wealthy synergetic hope
Emerged from warm wet wombed
Zero ZenZones of nutritional co-passion
Speaking systemically
of health theo-logical
teleological meaning
ethological purposeful pasts
through transportive futures.
Agnostics mistrust theistic trust,
but mistrust is not actively committed
to distrust powerful muses
and memes.
Cynics mistrust anger and fear management,
but passive cynicism is not actively committed
to anger- and fear-mongering mismanagement
nor capable of leading us
toward everyday radical compassion.
The Return of Circular Wisdom 1
They drew a line from A to B and called the movement progress,
They mapped the charts of more-and-more upon a stripped-bare canvas.
A checklist for the wounded soul, a timeline for the earth,
They measured life in take-and-waste, discounting quiet worth.
They saw the soil of Africa as wealth to pillage, plunder,
And traded nations on a ledger, tearing worlds asunder.
But lines must break when engines fail and production starts to tire,
The ancient roots begin to stir beneath the embers of the fire.
To recognize that Ala, the sacred soil, its people, and its space,
Are not a source for plunder, nor a market or a trade.
For wisdom is a rounded thing, a medicine wheel, a ring,
The rhythm of the Maasai plains where cyclical seasons sing.
We climb a spiral staircase now, through shadow, grief, and strain,
We circle back to older hurts, but not in mindless pain.
It is no trapped and endless wheel, no Sisyphusian stone,
But a conscious, deep returning home to things we’ve always known.
A purposeful integration, a higher vantage point to see
That healing isn’t linear, it’s a branching, looping tree.
And learning leaves the printed page, the narrow, written test,
To hold a vast, comprehensive truth inside a human breast.
The earth demands a closed-loop grace, where what is taken mends,
Where every ending starts anew, and every beginning bends.
We are back, tracing the tails of wisdom
For this is the return to circular wisdom
Night brings a wondrous display
a mix and blended menagerie arrayed
with colors, melodies and creatures unmatched
by any hunter's imaginary superiority scratched.
In my wildest dreams at the midnight hour
comes the magical images of children's power,
a cartoon reality that finds life so interesting
with visions of all nature in peace co-mingling.
The majestic trees germinate flowers to grow then fall
where feathered birds and squirrels gather beneath its shawl
of catkin clutches formed to pollinate some distant tree of long ago
with love and purposeful blend hosted under the rainbow mistletoe.
Each dream images the strangest encounters
in melodic song for wallabies and flounders,
making sense of what was displayed in the vision quest
still lies a secret unrevealed to this nightly guest.
The winter path, footprints in snow
Impressions by those who may know
Cold outside doesn't reach the heart,
for those who choose from birth to start...
a purposeful life to fulfill
caring deeply, with inner will
Beyond the trees lies open land...
Plentiful space to understand
I see two woodpeckers on a tree,
hammering the bark before me
Their purpose a daily mission
A door to home with ambition
A nice place to settle safely
In their cozy hole in a tree
I walked this winter path back home
Holding freedom from where I roam

Key Verse – Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit…
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR LEADING ME UP
Thank You for leading me up toward soul-salvation
From false doctrine’s instruction

And be wise with Your Scriptural perseverance.

And be secure with Your divine endearment.
Thank You for leading me up toward commitment-fervency
From weak conviction’s deficiency

And be dedicated to Your work with Your gracious mercy.

From grievous unbelief’s fruitlessness
For me to labour against slothfulness-caused unproductiveness
And be diligent with Your compassionate faithfulness.
Thank You for leading me up toward steadfastness-victory
From false doctrine’s instruction
For me to ascend for heavenly direction
And be purposeful with Your eternal vision.
Thank You for leading me up toward victory-worship
From vain worldliness’ friendship
For me to praise You along joyful fellowship
And be grateful with Your offered partnership in my stewardship.
