Where Do I Go From Here

Where do I go from here Jehovah. I have tried and I have not succeed. I did what 
you have adviced and failed. I have followed your exampled, and instead I was 
ostracized. You have seen my affliction, and you heard my out cried. I am wobbling 
in a pit of excrement, and where is my rope. I have done nothing wrong again,and I 
am being slaughtered. You have seen the two side on the coin, and why sweet 
Jehovah you have not save me. Why per long this saga when every story has an 
ending. Why make bad people look righteous,   and good people look wicked. I have 
beseeched you on matters and I have groped for your advice,  and I have follow 
them. Then where is my victory, you are "Jehovah God of Army" ,and I have lost the 
war.


Premium Member Deborah and Barak

There was at one time a woman judge named Deborah.
She lived in the high land between Bethel and Ramah.
This wife of Lappidoth held court under some great palms.
Ephraim was the place where she would settle many qualms.
Deborah proved to be a prophetess of God’s word.
The Lord’s voice was what through her sounds the people had heard.
She sent Barak with his command of ten thousand men
coming from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun,
to Mount Tabor against the army of King Jabin.
This king ruled Canaan from the city of Hazor.
For twenty years, he was Israel’s big tormentor.
Sisera was Jabin’s general and commander.
He and Barak’s men would fight at the Kishon River
Deborah went with Barak and his men to Kedesh
They killed the enemy with no sign of living flesh.
Sisera escaped and retreated running away.
He would meet Jael at her tent later on that day.
She was the wife of Heber, a friend to King Jabin.
Jael offered Sisera shelter and asked him in.
She would move toward Sisera when he was asleep
Jael took a tent peg to his head and plunged it deep.
Barak appeared to her searching for the enemy.
Jael took him in to show Sisera’s dead body.
A short time later, King Jabin of the Canaanites,
would be defeated and killed by the Israelites.

Deborah and Barak then sang in celebration.
They praised the Lord for all Israel’s liberation.
There was great joy and elation among their loud cheers.
Peace would then be with the Lord’s people for forty years!

What Is This All About

The trees, the holly
the pine scent and folly? 
What’s this season all about? Is it joy? 
the sales, gifts or newest toy? 

What is this anger all about? 
causing folks to curse, stress, shout
When one excludes the name of names, 
you say their different causing shame?

What is our culture all about, 
religious people scream, shout? 
Sane people all are going mad, 
this event should make us glad!

When did our fellow man decide
other people should go, run, hide?
We have forgot, left meaning there
we threaten, fight, hate, don’t share!

How is it we have come
so far from the little drummers drum?
To offer peace on earth, good will 
t’ward men, we fight, scold, and kill!

How did we get so far away
from where that precious baby lay?
Where the magi once brought their gifts
from the point where angelic voices lifts?

From lowly sheperds humble pleas
to see the king of kings once please
To give them hope and lo once more 
tell all people shore to shore!

We now have hope, love, grace,
among us in a dark and lonely place!
Love came upon the earth that day
sad it now seems so very far away 

But we can reclaim, get it back!
Our Lord was put upon that rack
to save us from ourselves you see
to walk the shores of Galilee

He knew someday we would try to kill
the loving-kindness only he instills
he walked intently up the hill
to show his love for us is still.

In a dark and lonely place 
He gave to us his saving grace!
So when we tread shopping malls,
we get mad at traffic stalls

Remember why we All are here
'twas him who gave us lasting cheer
Don’t try to force his love you see
He shares that gift with you and me

Think about the manger and the hay
think about this holy day
and why he was born in Bethlehem
and why he is coming back again!
