you won't find me changed
from him you knew—just more sure
of all I thought true

There were
so many other
people in israel.
Before the twelve were chosen
for a speacial mission__
The educated,eloquent,erudite
and rich;
Did jesus choose them to make a nucleus
for the twelve disciples?
Where did jesus choose his bunch?
Is it not a mixture of backgrounds,personalities,
strengths and weaknesses?
Can we continue to judge the outward ,
spiritual potential,and characteristics of
of others?
To be with HIM we need to observe HIS methods
and becoming more like HIM in character.

PHD translation;PULL- HIM -DOWN***
I pursue my enemies ,and overtake them
they rose up against me, with no reason
They have fallen to the ground,not to rise again
a violent storm,under my feet
As soon as they hear,of my name
they tremble and flee
I find myself on the defensive side
ever seeking to reach them with my LOVE
Those who hate me

I lust for knowledge,
My day will come,
Bachelors,
Masters,
PhD maybe,
My day will come,
I believe it,
No faith placed in me,
But from me indeed,
My strength is my rock,
I will follow through,
The language of life,
I know it well,
It is my spell,
You will understand,
The day I receive that third diploma,
My doctorate in English Literature,
That will be the day of true destiny.

got a PHD
from the universityl of
hard knocks
the sheep skin framed
and hanging on my wall
reminding me of
my accomplishments
graduating with honors
top of my class
no one could touch me
studied hard for that
as I move the tassel
from the left to right
shaking hands with
those that taught me
on graduation night
