Loose self-consciousness, be one of "The Few."
Struggle up the mountains, taking in The View
See grandeur of bold progress, yet remain teachable
serving in love, be loveable.
Persevere, laughing all the way.
Make the devil pay!
Heart's desire to do the will of God Above,
Giving joy and offerings in simple Love.
Step by step and sometimes stumbling
But always in sight of the King,
Unflinchingly obeying and worshiping go,
Then resting in His arms His smile you'll know.
Priceless blessings for you and all,
Through Jesus, with you at every call,
Being transformed and changed,
Your life rearranged.
Repentant in abject remorse
Brings The Saviour close of course.
There's the sweetness of coming Home
Never to be alone, even as we roam
The Heart's Interpreter awaits our focus
With a Heavenly peace and joy for us.
It is teachable
Yet it cannot be found
The sequences
It is reachable
Yet it cannot be established
The formulation
Happiness,
Release those feelings
As they would not be needed
It has come
Release that pain
As it would not be endured
It has gone
Freedom,
It is productive
Yet it cannot be used
The morals
It is constructive
Yet it cannot be created
The values
Happiness
Recycled poetry,
we’ve used all these spells before;
Abracadabra,
a whisper to make that cauldron simmer…
Calling corners?
familiar synonyms since the new are..
feckless;
We must honor the magick.
Memorable alliteration;
Innate skills aren’t teachable;
Feybound;
Like you? It simply belongs to the stars…
Remembered ritual,
a taste of what dances upon your tongue;
Phantasma,
you have always had the touch…
It’s not reused, it’s ancient,
it’s as spectral as abracadabra…
Dream the ambitious dreams of romantic young!
Their visions of life have just begun.
Encourage their future road.
Reassure their load,
reachable
rung.
Teachable,
achievable code,
in a continuous mode
to reap rewards of what they’ve begun.
Dream the ambitious dreams of romantic young!
Grand is the wisdom of the experienced;
Raging with tears in the rearview mirror.
Anxiety dealt with, sweet dears.
Now listen, grandchildren, revere
Dad and Mom, but fear God -
Paradise is the presence of Christ.
Are you teachable, let me in;
Roar with the lion, bleat with the lamb.
Enjoy your life but obey God’s commands.
Net salvation and God‘s rich rewards.
Testing will prove you, child.
I am on your side - the bright and invincible.
Negotiating your success on my knees.
God hears with generational blessings.
1 child at a time
O left behind
1 God to spur you on
Ebullient, effulgent, egalitarian, eclectic, thankful, thoughtful, teachable, tenacious in earnest.
February 20, 2024.
Always do your best; that is right
such brings fulfillment to the heart
granting you God's joyous delight.
Always trust the great Lord; so true
such verily gladdens the soul
smiting feelings, gloomy and blue.
Always practice kindness; oh, sure
such builds up good and firm friendship
creating fellowship pleasure.
Always stay teachable; yes, check
such smites folly and deceit's pest
shielding from ignorance-caused wreck.
Always reign against hate; seek peace
such rancor inflicts guilty pain
exposing well-being’s disease.
Always seek to rejoice*; be nice
such forgiveness-bliss melts despair
along reconciliation price.
Always be a blessing; so pray
such indeed shows your genuine love
illumined by Christ's gracious ray.
*Philippians 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Lessons are learned with each step in time
Each moment and as each day goes by.
Sometimes they're hard And hit us at the core Sometimes their simple As the unlocking of a door However it is that we learn our new lesson
It's Undeniable
That We'll never look at that situation the same again Warnings are meant to prevent us from harm
Warnings are meant to set off alarms
Warning should be taken at Heed
warning at the end should give us a PEACE
Peace is a Luxury that we take for granted so often Peace should be at the core of your being
and in every situation you should find it
Peace is the light at the end of the tunnel Of darkness that's around us with
and if Warnings bells are sounding off remember the peace you find is the true place
For the woman having menses
A high demand on her senses.
“I’d better I took no chances
That embarrassment enhances.”
A keeping up with the Joneses
On matters of strict hygiene,
Sometimes mistaking her tenses,
As she helps herself with Flagyl…
Her sincere man unreachable
For taught lessons still teachable;
But much glad who’d feared a baby,
‘Contraception’ wish and hobby…
For whom a child’s cry would face glow;
Bad-news bearing monthly blood flow,
Sees it and again phones Doctor:
A voice polite but could hector!
Mysteries abound
riddles and conspiracies
bound around
like cat nipped kittens.
What to consider, what to investigate,
unravel and expose?
Some flounder in the maze and mire
of partial uncertainties.
The clear of eye
believe in nothing they see
or are told
for all is not as it seems;
even so,
18-wheelers may yet occasionally
run us over
with their 40 tons of teachable truth.
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
Luke 9:54-55
How easily man judges,
hates, throws down the gauntlet.
Oh can’t you see - God is the merciful one.
We hang ‘em high and hang ‘em low
(Better than them, am I)
We love to be one of the mob,
pointing, mocking, laughing.
Are we teachable?
The lord stopped James and John in their tracks.
(Oh I wish he’d be condemned,
send fire down on his head.)
Oh sure…we are the truth tellers,
we imagine ourselves to be god.
We want, him or her, destroyed?
But ahem…God could destroy anyone,
anytime. His purposes are greater than ours.
I’m grateful for that. You should be too.
Oh can’t you see - God is the merciful one.
I don’t want to see what’s in your nose.
Bring it level. If God judged you today
without His help, guess where you’d be?
He says wild things like:
Love your enemies!
The good news trumps your newspaper
and news on t.v.
If your nose tilts, let your eyes see God’s
peace, mercy and grace
…a revolution of love

We are all navigating through life!
We are all growing in different ways!
Since, money is the root of all evil.
Use money to bless the needy!
Be knitted with family and friends
When one is weak, the other is strong
When both are weak, He is stronger!
Remember God is our primary source!
He is our solution and righteous judge!
He knows our inner most thoughts!
He knows the plans He has for us!
Since we all err and miss it in life
Having a teachable, correctable spirit
Will unlock the chained gates
Cause things to rebloom in our lives!
For the pure in heart will see Him
For those who have His heart
Will see Him! So, Rejoice!
For extraordinary multiplication
Of grace is coming our way!
Be Bold! Be Triumphant!
Get ready for the double portion!
Wear the new mantle for this season
With grace and multiplication!
Read the scriptures all the way through
clearly teaching of God's attributes
which tell of His being good and upright
aiming to bring out in His people real fruit
God brings sinners to be taught
what He requires in the divine way
this way of righteousness and grace
filling their hearts with His light always
The Lord requires His own be meek
with His wise hand, He shall guide
showing them the correct path to take
so with assurance, they can confide
God truly loves a meek spirit
one that is reverential at heart
that's teachable willing to learn
so to show God they're ready to start
The Lord seeks those of humility
those that God knows to love Him so
united in love full of God's perfect love
showing this to all whether friend or foe
("Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.")
Psalm 25: 8,9 (KJV)
I miss her soul;
Tenderly so;
I miss her lips,
speaking such;
I miss her eyes,
big and bright
I miss my arms around her torso embracing, holding her tight;
Now she's gone;
and I now have no one;
Now she's gone;
so now am I alone;
tenderly we shared;
bodies together so rare;
teachable thoughts;
knowledge;
encouraging memories;
old turn new beginnings;
I miss her soul;
Tenderly so;
I miss her lips,
speaking such;
I miss her eyes,
big and bright
I miss my arms around her torso embracing, holding her tight;
Now she's gone;
and I now have no one;
Now she's gone;
so now am I alone;
yet I am not alone totally known
I am not alone you see I have
GOD!!!
IT IS ME
