The Benjamin that I know is, like the Biblical
Character, the YOUNGEST of 8 sons.  For the last
Year, I have sensed that there is something that
I am supposed to impart to Benjamin.  I have not
Concluded what that impartation is, but I will begin
By sharing an acrostic poem bearing his name.

BELIEVERS do not have room for doubt and fear

EVERY door is an opportunity to explore and excel

NEVER say never, but rather, forever say, "I can"

JUSTICE may condemn me, but Christ pardons me

ANTICIPATION explodes within and makes me wait

MANY are called; few are chosen; most refuse

I can do all things through Christ

NOTHING shall be impossible to those who believe

Premium MemberDo The Crime, Do The Time

8/4/2025

Countless individuals
have become self willed.
Seems each day that passes
innocent people are killed.

Shootings and stabbings
have become the norm.
To society’s prescript,
many loath to to conform.

Perpetrators all receive
what we call “due Process.”
So they’re given a lawyer
who excels at aggress.

Because oft times the penalty
doesn’t fit the crime.
Some are granted pardons
precluding doing their time.

Many times the perpetrators
upon return to the street.
Unwilling to seek a job
and with others compete.

They return to the same life
they failed to escape.
They were given second chances
to slash, shoot, loot and rape.

Tuning Out

I tune out the news
Just as much as I can,
So I won’t have to hear
When the s*^# hits the fan.

But I still read the paper
And catch little bits
From the radio as every
Story transmits.

The migrants, the pardons,
The Congress, the Court – 
Democracy fighting
But coming up short.

The voters who quoted
The prices of eggs,
Now twice as expensive,
The question now begs…

Just when will you realize
You’ve made a mistake?
The heart and the soul
Of our nation’s at stake.

It’s hard to accept
Just how low we have sunk
And I wonder why everyone’s 
Not in a funk.

Lyceum Address

In Springfield’s hall, a young man stood,
And spoke of threats that none withstood—
Not foreign armies, but seeds within,
A nation’s ruin born of sin.

Today, his warning feels alive,
As fear and doubt among us thrive.
The law bends under weight and strain,
And justice falters, flawed, profane.

Pardons shield the loyal few,
While freedoms erode as tempests brew.
Policies divide, compassion fades,
And fragile trust in darkness wades.

Lincoln’s voice still calls us back,
To mend the breach, to seal the cracks.
A nation’s strength lies not in might,
But in will to guard the people’s rights.

The proud boys fill Trumpenstein’s need
His pardons saw oath keepers freed
They’ll serve this nation
Intimidation
And feed our great narcissist’s greed

Premium MemberPardon Me

     First Mr. Biden pardons his son   
        then murderers, crooks, and family

     Mr. Trump, however, not to be outdone
        pardons Jan. 6 trespassers, every single one

     Like that New Year’s mantra
        'Out with the old, in with the new'

     We threw the ‘old bum’ out 
        New one plays the same old tune

Christmas Greetings

The world was charged with the atmosphere 
Of love and warmth as Christmas drew near
Greeting each other across the globe
From country to country, from home to home
WhatsApp and SMS and mobile phones
Tik-Toks and emails and others, who knows
Wishing peace and wishing joy
Sending hugs in a loving call
‘Tis the season that sends through 
His message that He came for you!

Beyond the greetings and the tree
Beyond the warmth we may feel
Eternal love laid down His life
Offered a Gift that none would die
A Gift that pardons man his sin
To live among us, to help us win
Re-uniting God and man!
To overcome the devil’s plan.
Who can separate us now?
Who can come against His love?

It’s time to ponder on these things
The Christmas wonder as it brings  
How God and man can reconcile  
Through Jesus Christ; His sacrifice 
Who gives His Spirit to live inside
To teach us how to pray and fight.
Christ from Christmas to the Cross
Love that came to save the lost.
Oh, what marvel-who can tell?
God with us, Emmanuel!

Premium MemberChristmas Lost In Madison Wisconsin


Today, in Wisconsin, three children lost their lives.
The media of course pours on us, emotional jive!
I, personally, cannot imagine, such a heartbreaking loss.
In a school, no less, friends and parents bear the cost!


Mental illness is a bloody monstrous thief.
When neglected,……it causes endless grief!
Watch the screams to take guns away.
While the breath of innocents by other means.

No…no guns needed …no,none at all.
Young girls choked and raped.. no border, needed.at all? 
Fentanyl came here flowing like rivers without any ration.
Add 1,500 last minute pardons, we will not have a nation!

Redemption's Dawn

In the dawn of Trump power, swift pardons in flight
For those caught in Jan. 6 chaos, seeking wrongs to make right
Each story assessed, in the blaze of the day
With hope for redemption, he’ll pave the way

Premium MemberPardon My French

The most feckless corrupt Pres in living memory pardons his grifter son. 


But not just for deliberately evading taxes and firearms violations. No, Joe went further. His pardon includes all offences he may or may not have committed back to Jan 1 2014 which coincidentally gives him immunity for his time as a Burisma board member as a crackhead earning millions of dollars in Ukraine and influence peddling selling access deals to Russian oligarchs and Chinese companies aligned with the Chinese Communist Party. All with daddy’s knowledge and approval. 

Well pardon my French but that is a f***in’ disgrace!

Morning

Summer rain held back in dark clouds and chaotic skies,
Piercing the atmosphere with fire unveiling inevitability. Truth soaring beneath the vast array expanding over the universe, and just as songs begin, another night now ends, finally it’s morning.

Mourning the summer pardons the winter when fields grow white with plains stained by nature’s blood. Summer rain now a symbol of hope delayed and the fiery Sun reveals our progress. Birds keep soaring under the expanse of Heaven over Earth and our dreams awaken us to new realities as we mourn the night, finally welcoming the morning.

Premium MemberA Silent Scream

Worst cry ever heard, a scream from the depths of a soul
It’s a silent scream that can only be felt
By another heart that cares and refuses to scold
Never condemns but offers God’s grace. love, and help

She was standing in a jail cell
Was there for murdering a man
Asking, "Can I be saved from this hell,
My soul is sinking way down."

He stood frozen in disbelief
Could he be hearing such dire words
Her face showed remorse and grief
For the evil she had done

What in her life caused such despair
How had she come to this real low
Did she kill out of hatred or fear
These hard cold facts he didn’t know

Her question was etched on his mind
He gave the answer that pardons all
One he hoped she would not decline
Trust in Jesus Christ, the Lord

Have you ever known that cry in the depths of your soul
The silent scream that tears at your very being
Ripping you apart, leaving you numb, even cold
My only balm was God’s grace, mercy, and love

Premium MemberPRAISE BE TO GOD WHO DOES NOT CONDEMN US

June 2 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Job 10-12 

Key Verse – Job 10:2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. 
	
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO DOES NOT CONDEMN US 	

Praise be to God for not condemning us; instead
He pardons our confessed sins relieving us from: 
Distress with dejection  
Despair toward dismay
Destruction then downfall
Dearth’s disastrous defect
Discouragement midst denial

Job 11:7 Praise be to the Lord for allowing Himself 
to be found by us in our search midst His:
Empowering salvation
Endearing satisfaction
Enduring Scriptures
Enabling sanctification
Enclosing sustenance

Job 12:9 Praise be to the Saviour for
His hand that keeps on:
Fixing our future by His fervent finality
Firming our faith upon His functional frame
Freeing us from failure-flight in His fellowship
Fortifying our faithfulness against foolishness-fall
Following us, fostering our family’s friendship forever. Amen!

Get It Right
Miracle Man
4/18/2024

After the final chapter of life is written,
Many will judge us better,
or worse than perhaps we were.

To those that we may have aggrieved
there will be a time of forgiveness maybe.
To others, a time to feel relieved.

Time spent self forgiving is not enough,
We must repent for our shortcomings in life.
Then we’ll know that all is right, and God is pleased.

But ultimately, on that day, the judge we face, 
will be one who makes only just and righteous decisions.
Judgment Day affords no pardons or paroles.
 


Revelation 20:12. KJV
 “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged.

Premium MemberLet's Tango

So many worlds work as one;
a symbiotic tango where
no feet are ever stepped on -
no pardons conferred.
An intersection of nature,
busy, yet no traffic lights nor
accidents or road rage.
A seductive tease where
cold shoulders and hot glances
share equal stage - smirking.

The first blanket of leaves lie soaked
beneath the shuffling of the last,
covers the naked dancing/celebrating
worms and sprouts who feast
on the nourishing gifts of Autumn
now winter worn to perfection.
Waiting, a red-breast is filled,
and on high, new leaves are born
to hide their summer nests.
