Premium Member Prayer Requests

Anna, the prayerful child, has these requests this season to Abba Father:
Bob, her friend-boxer to avoid and never miss a bad dab
Cedec, the street child to attend Camp Mac’s for kids
Dad Dado to be drawn onward the Lord’s will;

Eve, for her series of solos as church’s singer 
Filif, as he needs wisdom to judge in the debate on "Borrow or rob"
Gereg to express well his speech entitled “Don’t Harass Sarah”
Hannah for her to be on the top spot in her civic course examination; 

Inni, that she be truthful, denying not with “It is I? Is it I?”
Jojoj to invite to Bible study Viv, the diva, avid collector of Scripture items 
Kaxak for her kayak venture against unpleasant weather’s party trap 
Lilil in her academic level-up pursuit;

Mom May and Madam Maine to offer discount in their My Gymwellness center 
Nenen for her new juice business near “no lemon, no melon” shake stand
Obo, to stress clearly his dramatic monologue line: “O, stone, be not so”
Pip and Pop as they enjoy their pool loop swimming lessons with test set after.

Quest for the Lord’s favor is what Anna anticipates in her prayer sagas
Relying in His might does she perform* with faith's deed!

*Luke 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Premium Member Poem writing used to be my hobby

In sorrow, I turned to writing verse, 
To ease the pain, my heart immerse. 
Love, nature, family, and spirituality, 
Themes that flowed, with sincerity. 

Years passed, inspiration took flight, 
A hundred poems, crafted with might. 
Retirement brought idle hours to fill, 
Isolation and pandemic, a bitter pill. 

Poetry contests sparked excitement anew, 
Learning the craft, experimenting too. 
Words from poets, wisdom acquired, 
Rhyme and meter, rules admired. 

Recognition came, acclaim I found, 
Free verse soaring, high and profound. 
Loneliness became my muse, guiding my pen, 
Love still sings, even when. 

Writing became my daily pursuit, 
Through challenges and hardships, I resolute. 
With passion and dedication, I engineer, 
Poems that touch hearts, far and near.

Lora Turnham

Lora’s tandem pilot is Corrine Hall, 
But she originally knew Fiona Duncan, 
In the speedy sport of para-cycling, 
And was born on 4th September 1998.

She picked up this discipline by team,
In 2009, when she joined TeamGB, real,
And won a silver at the 2011 UCI Worlds,
And so was selected for the 2012 Paras.

There she came in fourth for the B kilo, 
And also for the tandem B pursuit track, 
And then seventh place in the road race,
And eighth in the time trial: she did well. 

In 2013 at the UCI Worlds in Canada,
Lora and Corrine both won the silver, 
But beat that win with a gold, time trial, 
Which took her right to the USA Worlds. 

In Greenville she had a bronze catch,
In the tandem B time trial round n’ round, 
But topped that again with a gold medal, 
In the tandem B road race, they grinned. 

In 2016 at the UCI Worlds, Montichiari, 
Lora won the bronze in the B pursuit. 
In Rio she won gold for the individual:
“I can't thank [mum and dad] enough.” 

Her two brothers as well as her mum, 
Suffer from this hereditary sight loss, 
But immediately after winning at Rio, 
She was planning her wedding event.

Hagar and Sarah

Hagar slave, the chest, heart, feet,  
Left breast with Samaria's milk,  
Right is the Arabian philosophy,  
She may differentiate milk for children,  
Babies, male or female,  
Angel in Genesis said about Ishmael:  
He is the real wild donkey,  
In the wilderness,  
Like a donkey, he may see the star of Christmas,  
Guiding to monotheism,  
But if he is wild, then a lunatic,  
In the last stage - the kamikaze from the brink, cornice,
Hagar from Egypt,  
Magic of the Pharaoh's wizard,  
Imitation of the sign of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam,  
The pursuit,  
If he returns to Herod, the terrorist, assassin,  
Fallen King-magi passes trough the window,  
Already yet when he saw the star for worship before Jesus,  
Trinity,  
In the image and likeness, the virginal united heart of the family,  
The ship of the desert should pass through the door of the eye of the needle,  
Helped by the hand of Virgin Mary,  
The advice of mercy,  
Even for Ishmael's countries and people,  
Water in the desert, the oasis,  
Without any malignancy,  
Here,  
When my Friend spoke with she,  
This Samaritan woman Photina,  
Seeing the little prince with Jesus,  
Man of providence, destiny,  
Not a lunatic from evil,  
Else to be a daughter of the devil - madam the heresy,  
Phantom's mirage, mirror, 
Mermaid of the wilderness, sand whirlpool,  
Tyranny of djinn,  
Totalitarian community, gathering,  
Djinn, there oversees among all the living,  
The submission,  
There is no need for submission before that evil spirit,  
But before Sarah - the symbol of Virgin Co-Redemptrix,  
To study humility and liberty without sin,  
To receive the crown of life from the Queen,  
Multiplied bread and fish,  
For true freedom from the Redeemer 
Without any slavery and bad suffering,
The yoke is easy,
Real victory.

Premium Member Delighting In Bonfires

Midst kaleidoscopic radiance
Inviting wondrous soul-searching pursuit
Cheering sincere hearts with forgiveness’ glow
While drawing blissful worshippers to the Sovereign …
The bonfire has witnessed our consecration-fall to the Almighty.

Beholding changes in life’s seasons
Along spiritual transformation through faith
Encountered by believers of the Saviour and Lord…
The bonfire has heard triumphant grateful testimonies 
On how we did fall in love with Christ Jesus Who first loved us. 
 
Around bonfire for service commitment
Huddled God’s servants pleading for revival…
There we were, falling freely in earnest prayer-quest
Trusting the Divine Providence to answer by His mercy and grace
Since He does wondrous* deeds, displaying such in our “Autumnless” country.

*Psalm 86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

Premium Member Water of Life

Water of life in its spiritual sense
I’m God’s Word upholding each trusting soul
solid upon faith in the Saviour
secured around His love-propped fortress.

Quenching thirst with sweet divine refreshment
I’m the water* flowing from the Lord’s heart
bringing fullness midst discontentment angst
shaping vessels for sharing pursuit.

Toward oblation of gracious savour
wafting mercy and truth-redolence blest
I’m the water in the apothecary's bottle
spraying peace along forgiveness bliss.

Soak yourself in my therapeutic tub
be strengthened by the Lord’s healing power
offered with His sanctifying assurance
inside your prayer-meditation haven.

*John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again.  John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Otto's Antidote

Sniffed out from foul twisted undergrowth
Encouragement in limelight smile and sundress
Laurel of long advance, deserved antidote
Floral flamboyant signatures his status success

Musk gland masculine, meaty arm amble
Arrogance infuses ropes knotted through chest
Dangerous forest flux of financial gamble
Endeavours decipher chat in distant continents

Retiring sub fifty showcases his ruthless pursuit
Intrepid hunter clutches lithe coloratura
Cherry augmented tiramasu allures taste astute
Hedonist director of theatre spectacular

Allowed

You aren’t allowed to look into my eyes
And find my shades of brown.
To span into my inseparable planets and walk
on their landscape if you cannot stand your ground.

To articulate my soul’s horizons and expect the
tribes of my heart to identify with the warriors of your smiles.
You have mounted prints on my skin that
I cannot allow you to be on a desperate pursuit.

We are walking on celestial miles.

This distance is an eternal migration. A surreal outrage.
A magazine clipping holding our narrative
Of how we could be more ancient.

If we are humanity, then this our homage.
This desire can’t be understood by any traditional language.
I dance in the aromas of your paranoid fears.
Repress our super-life in hopes to meditate in our under-life.

Be in my reincarnations and leave me in
Suspense of what has been hidden.
This prehistoric jungle is visible.
Collect the heritage of our abstract wildlife
And try to stop the waterfalls of my being.

Because I like wondering what you are talking about
With my mind’s paintings.
You aren`t allowed to know my tree’s crown

But keep describing the sunlight by always watering and kissing me.

Headed to the call

The future called and I responded, armed with scars my years of acquired wisdom and rife experience, declared with voice of reason, a projection of matter, called for fellow age group, but trend and fame caught them in its web, 

chose to ride alone for alone was I conceived, going against the law of humanity, the spirit of Ubuntu, my mind declared war, war on postponement and wavering, for the journey demands uprightness and bravery, 

my undying desires for progress, my inner being erecting flag of hope for generations yet undiscovered, hearing simmering vibrations in my belly button, evoked by my birth cord right, a right to create and leave trademark meant to challenge what God hands designed to no limit, 

my undying pride for better and transformative tracks with trails of gazing back no more for the enemy heading the forefront of the future, success. My pursuit for foundation meant to breed seeds of eternal challenged perception and visioning.

Being of the seed that refuse to go unnoticed, placing everywhere, marks that evokes minds and creative of the future, so unshakeable daily on mission to create possibilities where existed none, for the calling still yet not reached it's silent lay, fueling the course to wash every barrier at exposure, 

with my contributions like statues meant for generational reference, a generation of matter and reason, of statued and statures, the remarkable signage  of irrevocable pioneering for change and immensely innovation, a future called and I heed to the voice
