May 3 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on 1Chronicles 7-9
Key Verse – 1Chronicles 9:20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
FAITH IN GOD WHO RULES OVER US
God rules over us with His truth-proclamation
Surely charging us by His compassion’s function
Always strengthening our faith by His sanctification
So that we can bring forth fruits of our salvation.
God rules over us with His grace from sin-captivity
Surely redeeming us against hell’s penalty
Always guarding our faith by His authority
So that we can offer to Him, pardoned from iniquity.
God rules over us with His lawfulness
Surely requiring from us consecration’s earnestness
Always settling our faith by His foundation’s steadfastness
So that we can move forward along His goodness.
God rules over us with His Scriptural ordinance
Surely supplying us by His mercy’s abundance
Always exhorting our faith by His guidance
So that we can discern toward doubt’s avoidance.
God rules over us with His wisdom
Surely commanding us to seek Him and His kingdom
Always enabling our faith to practice Biblical freedom
So that we can serve Him along Scriptural Christendom.
God rules over us with His counsel
Surely teaching us to overcome worldly hassle
Always reinforcing our faith by His divine epistle
So that we can delight in His will wherein we nestle.
God rules over us with His fulfillment
Surely asserting to us His sovereign agreement
Always prevailing over our faith by His accomplishment
So that we can honor Him in our achievement.

What to do about those under the table?
When those paying them are unable,
And have gone back to their scrabble.
Should we be worried they might become unstable,
When a constable is to us unreachable.
If an amnesty was the solution most suitable,
Would they deem that call trustable?
Doing nothing would runs risks considerable,
As desperate people become unreasonable,
And could make decisions that were once to them unthinkable.
Have we any room in our hearts for those now playing scrabble,
To see their actions as forgivable,
When they made some legitimate businesses unprofitable.
Then there are the businesses who took money under the table,
That is never counted as taxable,
And now can't be counted when loss of income is considerable,
Requiring a handout from those who deem it despicable.
Maybe compassion is the only thing thinkable,
With crumbs no longer falling from the table,
And we can leave accountability,
To a time when the situation is more favourable,
And our actions more reasonable,
With those now playing scrabble,
Or making a living under the table,
More likely to be amiable,
To a life that is sustainable.
When she entered a room
To visit with her folks
Rather than ask about well-being
Her immediate labor they invoked
He brought them a gift
One he had labored for so long
Rather than be grateful and amazed
They asked him to go mow the lawn
She acquired accommodation
Through a connection by chance
Rather than rejoicing for independence
They worked on without a second glance
He was awarded a professional prize
Requiring a community feast
Rather than attending with pride
They saw him as feeding the beast
This is the end of obscurity
Where identity has no respect or seat
We choose to know and love self
As we release all the dirt caked on our feet

Monorhymes: monotonous, boring verse
Often thoughtless, constructed in reverse
Never flowing freely, quite the converse
Only ever poetic slime, coerced
Requiring at times phrasing less diverse
Harsh, all grit and grime, tortured, strangely terse
Yet perhaps not - one can find them quite perverse!
Maybe include acrostics, intersperse,
Embed monoku’d sweet rhymes when traversed?
Surprisingly, a sublime universe!

Life As A Highway Robber
Escape from captivity pulled off
when I came of age
boyhood begrudged,
and bested by brigandage,
but willpower sans declaration
of independence begot bravery
against British brutes
bridging caper (involving collusion)
to bust loose from cage,
and trappings forcibly to plunder artworks
and sculpted treasures
by classical masters
without causing damage
taught by professional thieves
requiring minimal equipage
whereat over time footage
sordid memory constantly replayed
plunder and pillage unwittingly
fostering getaway
from hell raising gambits
planting seed to gauge
optimal instance
to feign criminal shenanigans
running rampant with militant spunky gangs
"FAKING" das spies zing
trumpeting hostage killing
and taking, nonetheless
swallowing bitter pill
reeking havoc as honorable image
in order to survive
within world wide
web of criminals (especially
an unwelcome foreigner),
where skills as buccaneer
really put to test, and tried
maximum lawlessness partaken
in (dolled up) guise suppressing shied
pitifull looking indigent vagabond
self away by donning
"FAKE" whippersnapper
benefiting getting to sally and ride
always exuding patriotic pride
pleasing ghosts of founding fathers
against their autonomy from
crown weathering woe be chide
recrimination impossible
to enforce as bride
of Lady Liberty opened arms for those,
who made dangerous journey
across avast ocean
only to confront (whodunit) thuggery
this lifestyle raping, looting,
and burning WITHOUT choice,
but guilt aye didst abide.

Retrospective many generations since
marking birth of a nation
(The United States of America),
now mecca, sans land of milk and honey
current president imposed antithetical ration!
February 5 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Leviticus 14-15
Key Verse – Leviticus 14:29 … To be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
FAITH IN GOD WHO CLEANSES US
God cleanses us, accepting our offering
With His holiness since such He is requiring
Toward presenting ourselves through faith by His nurturing
Along our praises of sweet-incense pouring.
God cleanses us, washing our sinfulness
With His sanctification toward our forgiveness
Toward submitting ourselves through faith, midst His greatness
Along our thanksgiving of sincere earnestness.
God cleanses us, settling our iniquities
With His love that covers our confessed vanities
Toward laying ourselves through faith for His truth verities
Along our consecration to acquire virtuous qualities.
God cleanses us, humbling our arrogance
With His miracles of grand elegance
Toward surrendering ourselves through faith by His assurance
Along our repentance from our folly and ignorance.
God cleanses us, listening to our supplication and intercession
With His concern as well as compassion
Toward yielding ourselves though faith for His great commission
Along our trust in His supply of guaranteed provision.
God cleanses us, discerning our heart
With His Word we must meditate right from the start
In presenting ourselves through faith to His guiding goal chart
Along our commitment that from Him we will not depart.
God cleanses us, directing our endeavour
With His wisdom that counsels our divine fervour
Toward showing ourselves through faith for His favour
Along our testimony that exalts Him midst His approval’s sweet savour.

Kept it 2 trill
It all amounted 2 nil
No longer a secret, guts started 2 spill
Big shoes 2 fill
Hard 2 chill
So I pop 2 pills
Eventually it all no longer started 2 thrill
An easy mark or hard 2 kill
Another payment due requiring 2 bills
Across 2 hills
Picked 2 daffodils
Then wrote 2 wills
With 2 quills
At times it began 2 pan
Regardless if it backfired, it's 2 bad
Could not remain 2 sad
Or 2 mad
With my 2 hands
Took care of several Toucans
Then downed 2 cans
Always chiefing on at least 2 strands
Off a lot more than 2 grams
Going 2 ham
Too much people attempt 2 scam
Quickly people panic and begin 2 scram
There's nothing else 2 add
Finding a way when it all starts 2 fog
No matter if all think I'm 2 odd
Why's it gotta be dragged out, it's taking 2 long
I was in the right or I was 2 wrong
Sometimes I talk 2 cats and 2 dogs
The same can't be said for talking 2 god
ed up beyond belief and 2 gone
Again I overdid it, the combination was just 2 strong
I started 2 yawn
Then I began 2 nod
After having a snack of 2 pecans
Followed by 2 prawns
Then 2 bon bons
This is reaching space, not just 2 Hong Kong
The day I die is far away or it won't be 2 long
The need to create is born in our heart
But heart’s desire is hijacked by ego
We see clearly head and heart stand apart
So cause of inner conflict we now know
We recognise why life’s hit a new low
Carrying a heavy load on our chest
Born of seeds of desires we chose to sow
What we manifest becomes our life test
To restore our soul’s light is a learnt art
Requiring of us to make our thoughts slow
Patterns of old as we reboot, restart
Life becomes easy, we begin to flow
We bend down low letting God’s grace endow
Control of life from our ego we wrest
That our heart may again be pure like snow
What we manifest becomes our life test
When desires recede, we see fear depart
Our countenance acquires a living glow
As we deem all souls as one, none apart
We’re quick to repay debts of love we owe
Garnering wisdom which we alone know
Whence with each breath we offer God our best
Making our touch gentle and heart mellow
What we manifest becomes our life test
Blissful in the boat God Himself does row
To embody love and light is our quest
Bliss beats within rise, we enjoy the show
What we manifest becomes our life test
I want a tat of your name printed on my back,
I want a fetish to sit on my lap,
I want the monkey kings elixer to be poured on my laugh and I promise not to scream out loud,
I promise Iam not toxic, a little broken but nothing requiring any molding,
I don't do alot of talking,
Iam mostly lost in my world of wonder, and your words would probably leave on me a marker,
I understand you a man now, so you probably busy with your life, your first priority should be your life,
Understanding your time and making that pretty smile shine, So I don't mind you being quiet for a while I mean I too have a life, and my plans are a little wild,
I hope you don't expect a lost maiden that knows nothing of this life,
I want a man, one that won't expect a submissive house wife, but I also want red wine just enough to make me slumber to my lost time,
I want chocolate and chocolate biscuit the type that will make me close my lids and see a reflection of those beautiful white globes staring at me,
I want wild berry yogurt I think that would be my fetish,
I don't want a broken lie filled with lust,
See my heart is gold but do remember that gold is as hard as stone.
DECONSTRUCTING Major League Baseball
When will MLB fans acknowledge
and question the REAL Cheating
taking place right under their noses.
The Pitch Clock
The Pitch Count
THE CLOSER
The Netting
The Expansion
THE PHANTOM BASE RUNNER
The Biggest Form of Cheating?
THE TINY LITTLE BALLPARKS.
A 14 year old Mark Mcgwire could
clear the fence, LEFT HANDED
Eddie Murray would have 500 Home Runs ,
FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE PLATE.
Mickey Mantle would be a Member
of the 1000 HOME RUN CLUB
LEGENDARY HANK AARON would be a Member
of the 1500 HOME RUN CLUB.
Why not give anyone and everyone
who makes it to The Big Show a 6ft solid gold trophy
for participating in Major League Baseball.
Let's not forget how MLB cheated Atlanta
out of the ALL Star Game.
Or cheated the Fans out of seeing their ALL Stars
by wearing those Diversified Equity Inclusion Uniforms.
However, we just might see another 500 Career game winner.
When they shorten the game to 7 innings.
Requiring only 3 complete innings
to qualify for a win.
We just might see another 5000 strike pitcher ,
when MLB goes to Artificial Inntelligence
and expand the strikeout zone from toe to chin.
INSTEAD , how about we celebrate what was accomplished before the Insanity of Y2K.
Not the 420 ft Monster HOME RUN ,
and totally forget that straight away
Centerfield Tiger Stadium was 440 ft.
Not the 200 Strike Out Season knowing ,
the record is 383.
Not the 15 game win season knowing
The last 30 game win season
was more than 50 years ago
My real REAL question is...
Is MLB complicit in destroying the game of baseball ?
Are the people at the top , involved with Big Government and DEI infected Corporations trying to destroy the memories and Legends who established MonuMENTAL feats.
Emphasis on mental.
Is this what build back better is all about?
