THE HELP I NEED

The Help I Need

ReMind me, Lord, ta Thank the UniVerse; inGrain in Me a Grateful AttiTude! To Not give Thanks Makes Any Problem Worse; with Ev'ry Act I Must some Thanks inClude!

ReMind me, Lord, ta Ask Ya What ta Do, my Thoughts are Often Not so Very Smart! Much Better, Lord, that I reLy on You, each Time there's Something New I'd Like ta Start.

So Much inClined to Make a Faulty Guess, I Need Your Holy Spirit Now ta Guide; with UnderStanding, Please, this Heart now Bless; with Common Sense, please OverCome this Pride!

Now, I would Very, Very Grateful BE; I Need your Patient, Loving Counsel So; please Make my Mind, and Heart, and Eyes ta See, and Lord aBove, please, Don't ya Be too Slow!

Now, Not my Will, O Gracious Lord, but Thine; I Now surRender Ev'ryThing ta You! As Long as I'm aBiding In-the-Vine, I'll Know your Love is Gonna See me Through!

DO YOU BELIEVE?

Do You Believe?

“PunditWatch” found “Fox News” lies 60% of the time, and “MSNBC” lies 40% of the time. I'd like to report the results of a religious poll that asked, “Do you believe Fox News?” One person surveyed said, “I really Do beLieve in Fox aBove!” Another rePlied, “Oh! I beLieve in MSNBC!”

It's Corp'rit Crap, of Course, they're SPEAKin' Of, where Folks kin Feel self-Righteous, All fer Free!

A COP, A REQUEST, A RESPONSE

A Cop, a Request, a Response

WORDS FROM HEAVEN

Words from Heaven for Someone Trapped by Fundamentalism

It's Through my Love yuh'll OverCome your Hell; You've Got my Gift of Love inSide o' YOU! Why Cling ta Lies your Loved Ones Used ta Sell? BeLieve in Me, and You'll be Born aNew! And That's a Promise!

WHY MISS OUT ON LOVIN'?

Why Miss Out on Lovin'?

No Need ta Kill ta Go ta Paradise! No Need ta Kill a Soul ta Foster Bliss! The BuddhaChrist's done Paid your Ticket Price; ya Gotta COP TA LOVE, if Hell ya'd MISS! 'Cause Self-indulgence Causes Pain an' Grief, and Living Love can Lead ta Self-control! In LOVE you've Gotta Keep a Strong belief, and Serve with Love, if Ever You'd be Whole! It's Loving Service Opens Heaven's Gates, and Living Truth and Beauty There you'll Find; through Love, we Overcome the fears and hates; so Let's both Choose ta Be the Loving Kind! 'Cause Then we Might discover Something True, like LOVING Feels Much Finer, Don't ya Know? 'Cause Lovers Do it, Brother, How 'bout YOU? Why Don't ya Let that Little Love-light Glow?

LOVE LETTER

Love Letter

You Often Say what's Nice, but Harbor Hate; you Like it When the People Flatter You; you Think your Gifts will Get you Through the Gate, but Heaven Sees the Faithless Things ya Do! So Why not Open Up your Heart and Care? Why Be so Stony-Hearted, Stubborn One? You've Got a Lot o' Love, in You, ta Share – you'll Know no Peace unTil that's What you've Done. And Then in Love you Must conTinue On, and Keep the Faith, and Often Think ta Pray. And If you'd See your Doldrums All stay Gone, You've Got to Straighten Up aGain each Day. So Think it Over While you've Got a Chance, and Give your Life, your All ta Christ right Now; don't Look at Jesus' Proffered Life asKance – His Love in You is What you Must alLow!

Now, Don't you Be a Fearful, Angry Fool; it's Beauty, Truth, and Love the People Need. So Follow FaithfulLy the Golden Rule, and Offer Thanks – you'll Find the Love ya Need.

Now, Please, Don't DisreGard my Efforts Here, I've Said some Things quite Sweet and Kind and True. Just Let me Make one Message Very Clear: forEver, I will Keep on Lovin' You!
