Its Not a Religion It's a Life Style

Its not a Religion it’s a Life style 

Its not a Religion it’s a Life style Don’t be Blind by your belief. Or too blind to see that if you 
are not For Christ there is something that you do believe. No such thing as a non 
Believer. In life we are all receivers of something or shall I say someone. 
So don’t think for once you are operating under your own mind. There’s nothing
comical about the truth the light the things the vision of Christ.

 He’s not a celebrity Superstar so don’t get it twisted. More to say is he is the star who 
created existence which none of us can Shine without his light. No you may not need a 
Sunday Television. But you do need That divine intervention. Where he can come into your 
life and you can accept him as Your Christ Lord and Savior. Of all things please don’t 
quench the Holy Spirit as the old Folks use to say don’t make jokes of the Holy Ghost.

 If you think you don’t need time for Prayer or any of the other things. When you down to 
the lowest low I guarantee you will call Upon his name. Oh you say that for you its never 
been hard. Well the word say every knee Shall bow and every tongue will confess that 
Jesus Christ is Lord. If you don’t want a place Up there maybe you will be the first to be 
comfortable in hell. Just because you think your Head is alright a fool do too. No scientific 
tool can be use when you meet him face to face. Don’t let your logical man get in the way 
of what your spirit man is trying to show you. 

The Devil is good at deceiving a liar that can never speak the truth. But try Jesus he will 
never fail You. You come in asking for a miraculous vision. When the gift of Life was a 
miraculous decision. To be living in someone else and live in this world and not accept that 
Jesus plays a Hugh role in your Life. So the style you living let it be for Christ. But I can see 
why when you have so many false lies of Super heroes and other people want God job. 

But don’t let your spirit be rob. Confessing the truth can Put the enemy so far behind you. 
Things that you think you have to fight with, God he will make it right. Line up in his word 
speak it everyday so you can be heard. Not be heard by people but by that thing that’s 
trying to keep you mental. Mentally distracted from the real. Confess the Word to be 
healed. Don gamble your life. Don’t gamble your life.

What Do I Tell My Children?

If you've lived in outback Queensland just as I have,
you must've faced at times the scourge of drought. 
You'd have watched the senseless dying of your livestock
and felt completely drained and numb no doubt.
Did you ponder on why life can bring such sorrow,
when other times you’re dealt a joyful hand?
Though the bitterest of blows is when the children
express, "Dear Daddy, we don't understand."

How I hate to see the hurt upon their faces,
but more so when they give your hand a squeeze.
And the question that forever haunts my thinking,
"What do I tell my children?  Tell me, please!"

Then one balmy morn way back there in September,
my children settled down upon the floor,
as they planned to watch Play School on television,  
but little did we know what was in store.
How they sat perplexed at seeing the explosions
of buildings there upon the tele screen
and the aftermath then left the children reeling -
left wond'ring at the images they'd seen. 

Though I sensed the children's minds took on the notion,
that things they viewed were happening overseas,
how that question still forever haunts my thinking,
"What do I tell my children?  Tell me, please!"

Hosts of men, who searched the mountainous piles of rubble,
live vividly within each young child's mind, 
plus the endless walls of pictures of lost loved ones,
placed there by anxious folk now left behind.
In their classrooms children talk about the horror
and can man stop the threat of war somehow?
Though our home is miles away from New York City,
our children know that life is altered now.

As my children leave the light on in their bedrooms,
lock windows which exclude a nightly breeze,
yes, that question still forever haunts my thinking,
"What do I tell my children?  Tell me, please!"

We had planned to fly the children to their grandma’s,
who lives just north of Brisbane on the coast,
but the thought of going on a 'plane is not on,
as flying is the thing they fear the most.
So as parents we have organised this summer,
a camping trip with some of their close friends,
but I fear the world will never be the same place,
though live in hope the terrorism ends.  
   
All I wish is for my children to be happy,
that innocent young minds can be at ease. 
Though that question still forever haunts my thinking,
"What do I tell my children?  Tell me, please!"

Football Commentary

I write in remembrance of the late Dennis Liwewe (Zambia's No.1 and Celebrated Football Commentator). Here is a short football commentary:
"Ah, this is Dennis Liwewe. We are here in Mauritius, where the two sides, Zambia National Team and Mauritius National Team will battle it out this afternoon. Capacity crowd 40,000.
The referee is from Kenya and match commissioners from Nigeria and Senegal respectively. 
At this point in time, the referee blows play on , and  Mauritius team take the ball back to their goal keeper. A loose ball pass the centre circle, a bad pass by Zambia we are in deep trouble, Only to be saved by the Goal keeper Efford Chabala. This is no other than Kapambwe Mulenga, defending very well. Ball zooms out for the throw in. We are beaten in the air, Ashios Melu picks up loose ball, he beats a man in a double one two situation, he kicks a tumble, which is well chested by Kalusha Bwalya ( popularly known as Great Kalu). Great Kalu beats two, three Mauritius defenders. Great Kalu within a firing range, hammer. It's a gooooooal 1-0 to Zambia. Back to the studio for our sponsors. Mauritius are coming in a counter attack situation, their dangerous striker is breaking even, Bomber. It goes away. Again and again, Zambia takes control of the situation here, Efford Chabala pumps a long ball passes the centre circle, we are good in the air. Kelvin Mutale dribbles two Mauritius defenders, hammer. It's a goooooal Zambia leading by 2-0 . Second half , Mauritius are very aggressive at the goal, they want to equalize. We are in deep trouble again here, sliding tackle by Kapambwe Mulenga, and the ball zooms for a corner kick for Mauritius. Headed away by Ashios Melu, a little pass to Charles Musonda, passes the centre circle, he turns 360 degrees. He passes the the ball to Kelvin Mutale ( the master dribbler), it's a gooooooal, 3-0 to Zambia. We are in the dying minutes here,
And the referee blows the final whistle. This is Dennis Liwewe signing off. Pick it up ZNBC studios in Lusaka, Zambia.

May his soul rest in eternal peace

Concept by Zambian Sports Lovers
Poetry Chipepo Lwele


Note: Dennis Liwewe made Zambians to love football in the 70's, 80's and 90's when we had 2 band radios and few television sets, we were glued to the radios young and old, less educated and highly learned. He made sure that the message is loud and clear.

Ten Dollars Per Week Is Just Half Packet of Smokes

I have tried to teach people
that saving ten dollars per week
together, as a group of people 
can create wealth

If you invest each week
and help it grow,
you could buy off the internet
and sell through garage sales,

watch television
you could go to
secondhand markets
and sell at auctions

You can buy equipment 
and start your own cleaning service
thousand of people could add to my ideas
one hundred people saving ten dollars per week

Could be used to buy houses
one thousand dollars per week
fifty-two thousand dollars per year
the deposit every year for a house

the planet has six billion people 
six billion people times ten dollars per week
is sixty billion times fifty-two
the money to build anything

Desalination plants 
factories 
anything you can imagine
granted there would be problems

people buy houses 
sometimes tenants won't pay rent
people buy, franchises
and some lose thousands  

We can all watch the news
and see the risks of small business
five of six small shops 
shut down, across the road from us 

I presume, they could have made a profit
but some shops, never have customers
with rents wages and running cost 
going into business is hard

yet if people don't go into business  
nobody would have jobs
the word on the street, people say
companies get away

with not paying tax
maybe that's the truth
but companies pay wages 
and workers pay tax from those wages

So indirectly companies do pay tax
I watched a female manager
who owned a coffee shop saying 
it's not fair, the wages a too high

I can't take time off I can't afford the costs
every day she worked and struggled 
to make a profit, business is hard
but growing small business 

is what builds your economy
Mr Bill Gates started micro soft
from his back yard 
now it makes

thousands of dollars per second
Imagine what he could do
with an investment 
of sixty billion dollars per week

But I can't afford ten dollars per week
well that's true when people get only 
seventeen cents an hour
when people live in poverty

Watching their children die
ten dollars per week 
would be more than they could afford
That why I suggested 

Encouraging Industrialized nations
employees to become investors first
ten dollars per week is just half a pack of smokes
you spend more going out to the pictures

Almost Grown-Up: But Not Quite

I am almost seventeen years old,
It is almost summer, and
My boyfriend and I are 
Kissing with the 
Lights off...
I tell him I don't want sex.
I wonder if this will be like
The time-

I am sixteen years old;
It's cold outside but
My boyfriend and I are 
Kissing with the 
Lights off-
He asks me if I want
To have sex...
When I say no, he tells me
It's okay- but his hands 
Move to my body-
I still don't say yes,
But after a while,
He doesn't want to
See me as much anymore,
And I guess some other girl
Finally told him what 
He wanted to hear
Because it turns out that
He's been cheating on me...

Then I am fifteen years old,
Being asked my age
And receiving disappointment
From the hands of the  
Asker- always male-
Because my answer is
Three years less than
What he's asking for-

I am fourteen years old
And I stay home because
I have decided that
Boys are not worth
My time;
Not since-

I am thirteen years old,
And the same boy 
That kissed me first time
Asks me to have sex.
We break up after
I say no.

I am twelve years old
And my first boyfriend
Kisses me for the first time
On my birthday...
He tells me that he will
Love me forever.

I am eleven years old
And sometimes I wish
I had a boyfriend.

I am ten years old-
Sometimes I wish
I was a grown-up.

I am nine years old-

I am eight years old-

I am seven years old
And playing with Barbies;
Barbie is on top of Ken
Because that's what
Grown-ups do
On television...

I am six years old-

I am five years old-
I throw a fit because 
I am informed that
I will have to grow up
One day...

I am four years old
And Mommy and Daddy
No longer sleep in the
Same bed, now don't live
In the same house;
They explain to me and 
The other kids that they
Are never getting back
Together, but it's not
Because they don't 
Love us, they just
Have grown-up
Problems-

I am three years old-
When I have nightmares,
I crawl into bed
With Mommy and Daddy...
I don't know why they
Share a bed, but I guess
It's because they always
Want to be together-

I am two years old-

I am one year old- 

I am a summer baby
Because my parents 
Made me on Christmas, 
And that's way more 
Than a sixteen-year-old
Needs to hear...

I am almost seventeen years old,
It is almost summer, and
My boyfriend and I are 
Kissing with the 
Lights off...
I tell him I don't want sex.
He says okay...
It doesn't matter.
His hands move to
My face.

Concerning Iran

concerning Iran (a brief letter to the american voter)

dear miss or mister
still-believing-in-the-“dream”---
which face that you see being displayed on your
screens, 
do you think will get us into a war with Iran
first?

will it be mr. hope & change,
whose translucent slogans were 
transparent to many of us, 
even prior to his ascendance,
whose own hands became bloodied/dirtied on
the way up,
and who now spends his time 
twisting on the marionette stage
to the hand motions of the moneyed interests
who fueled his first campaign &
who have fueled his present one?

as the manipulators of mr. hope & change
make him continue to strangle Iran with sanctions,
pull funding from Palestine &
pump more & more money into 
militarized & already nuclear 
Israel,
will the region get any more peaceful?
will all the countries who showed their dissent with the
Arab Spring
then become the little slaves that the empire wants them to be
under mr. hope & change,
further gearing up hatred, 
encouraging the next 9/11 on US soil
as a direct result?

hmmm.

will it be mr. romney, mr. santorum, mr. gingrich or
mr. perry, whose combined complete lack of concern for the 
citizen of the empire & wanton militancy 
will sacrifice everything to crush the last stronghold
left in the region 
(who refuses to bend over the table for america
so that it can install another Shah &
rape it of its oil)
in the name of the war on “Islamic Fundamentalism,”
whose characteristics seem all too familiar 
if you are watching the whole thing happen from a television in
the 
“Evil Empire?”

hmmm.

will these iron-fisted capitalists
who make fun of the unrest within their own country
by blaming the unemployed for the occupation of wall st. etc.,
march into Iran 
(like the christian caped crusaders that ya know they see themselves
as---finally getting to convert the infidels after all these years,
with the big american military *****)
like they marched into Iraq &
they marched into Afghanistan
only a few years ago,
to incinerate the country &
start building permanent bases there with money that 
could have been spent on
universal healthcare for americans,
better education for american children,
new employment opportunities through making america
green &
paying off our own debt?

how many Iranian citizens are going to die because of
the american empire’s hegemony & hubris?

hmmm.

Premium Member Just Say No To the Crt

Just say no and stop the liberal progressive socialist agenda dividing our country, or any other country! Simply based on the CRT (Critical Race Theory)!

It will further divide the divided states of America based upon race. Resulting in our categorizing and restricting any positive and healthful relationships based upon our skin colors. Turning us into enemies!

It will really pit the brown and the black people against the yellow and the white people! Leading up to and resulting in more racial based wars on the streets of our major and later on minor cities across the forty eight states of America just for starters!

It is the elected school board members that are fostering the CRT! Plus they are sponsoring X-rated books as part of the school curriculum's. Already parents in Virginia and the rest of the country are fighting against the CRT! Threatening to recall the school board members; who have sold out their souls to the devil himself! 

The parents and their children throughout the United States are using their social media platforms in order to protect their K-12 aged school aged children! 

They are relying upon Christian television stations such as the 700 hundred club to get their vital messages across to the rest of America! Whatever is happening in Virginia will not stop in the state of Virginia! Americans do not want a Socialist nation! They want their freedoms!

Unfortunately the Millennium generation of people born between 1980- 2000 are falling for the lies those liberal and progressive  politicians are actively promoting. Also generation Z college age students have socialist instructors spoon feeding their socialistic ideology propaganda!

Where is the communist propaganda political machine located? It's central headquarters is based in the Red Chinese Communists party! Which seeks to place the entire world under the oppressive tyranny of the Bamboo Curtain! Global international enforced slavery labor camps making the Nazis look like choir boys because of their intensified cruelty and torture!

Let us face it America and the Western democracies! Red China wants to bankrupt you, black male you and kill you. And place all of you under its Bamboo Curtain! They are the common global enemies of the world!

We

as wars are waged in our homelands we sit out here gettin education for our 
own future,
thinkin of ourselves, we forget about the whole purpose of our mission to 
America,
we capture the American culture and forget our own,
we show gang signs and skip school instead of learning what we came to learn,
we act as if this was our own country, when we know we’ve only been here for 
few years,
we act as if we know everything and don’t need school, when school was the 
whole reason for being here,
we start fights at school, when part of the reason we were here was to get out of 
violence,
we get on welfare and cheat the system instead of gettin a job,
we leave home telling parents we’re going to be doctors and get to school acting 
gangsters,
we talk about making differences in other’s lives when we’re the ones that need 
to change first,
we say we are discriminated against, knowing that it’s our own people 
discriminating against us,
we watch our people suffer in our homeland on television and shed a little bit of 
tears to make ourselves feel better and talk about different subject as soon as 
it’s over,
we are cared for, more than we care about ourselves and each other, 
when something occurs in a country where we benefit from, we focus on that 
country till everything is situated,
but if it occurs in our homeland where no benefit comes from, we turn our cheeks 
and ignore it as if it never happened,
we are convinced to believe what we see on television,
we talk about freedom, opportunity, and justice but really when the number one 
thing that matters the most is money,
money is not only used but also worshiped due to the fact that you can buy out 
laws,
how could there be an equal opportunity when only the rich get richer off the poor 
and the poor are left to survive on what they can and then thrown in jail for trying 
to stay alive,
we watch the news to only see the negativity of our surroundings,
we talk about the future of our next generations but disrespect them about their 
knowledge,
we call our country “United States of America,” while we terrorize one another, 
where is the unity in that?
how can we unite when we think so far apart?
how can we make a difference without changing oneself?
what makes us who were are, also makes us an enemy,
who do you think is “we” when I say we

Only when the trumpets roar
Angels in chorus, enchanting all music
The day our creator calls.
I surrender my soul, O Holy One, to you
He who casts, out all shadows, from the darkness
striking at the devil's door, he himself will kneel, guilty
To our maker and his.Bowing down kissing his feet
We will raise our hands in prayer
In a regal Heavenly sound, holding the very air, we breathe.
Golden flashing silver chariots on fire blinding with his lightning, Grace
Flashing of beauty, Glory be to God 
They come racing out, from the gates, of heaven

We will bow in shame adoring
Each and every single knee,they will bend 
In honor to, our Almighty King
He who is reverent ,Father,Lord and Master

When a sun will forever sleep
The sounds of weeping,them bathing, within pools of, a beautiful light
Weeps upon destination, our final day, judgement.
Our redeemer has finally come,unto to earth ,in our salvation

The moon shades red, her light in sorrow
Clouds nacreous upon gossamer wings 
sweetly floats, upon a whispering breeze sweetly
Aeolian blowing through deep Psiturism passions 
bleeds on our Passover, have mercy
Suffering blood of our brothers and sisters
Generations of our sins ,in the Heaven,s speak
Our Lord and master has spoken
only no one heeds, his Holy voice, or call

All this talk of war, makes one weep, with sadness
suffering in a world, where we are all brothers 
born from our mother,s womb, sacred 
Sisters reminiscence in past sins 
Brought up, with the peace,within understanding and love of God
We are all his flock of children, lost

So much poison, shown on the television
We all sit back guilty and say nothing
This world we live in, is our world
Each and everyone of us, has a very powerful voice
Our rights to, freedom of speech
Ataraxia to all nations calls 

Very little love, within this world
Less today, let us pray for tomorrow
We are controlled now, with mans own greed
How heartbreaking sad, it makes one feel inside
Power is in the hands, held with love and peace
With gentle happiness and joy, it would embrace 
this ugly world ,we now, live in today





Aeolian [rotating to or caused by wind]
Ataraxia [perfect peace of mind with calmness]
Gossamer [any thin,light fabric]
Nacreous [mother of pearl clouds]
Psiturism [the soul of the wind through the trees]
