Where God Is

Don’t put your faith in ink and Paper sheets, 'cause any Man can Lie, but put your faith in Living Truth, and Love, and Beauty, ‘ tell you Why: they’ll Lead you Upward, Onward, Straight ta ReaLizing God withIn, and then you’ll find that God is ev’rywhere, in foes and kith and Kin!

And God’s in tiny dewdrops, wide expanse of Earth and Sky and Sea, and God’s inside the meanest man aLive, and God’s in You and Me!

Fear's for fools, but Life's for lovers; Let's let love-life Flow!

MURDER AIN'T OKAY!

Murder Ain't Okay!

O, Casually I Sanctioned killing humans, Murder Seemed OK, as long as It’s conVenient, “saves your Ass”, and Legal All the Day.

I Lied like This, “Oh, Anger's Cool, this helpful Truth is Surely So!” But you, my Self, thou Reckless, Foolish One, What DID you Really Know?

FOR KILLERS

For Killers

No Justice, Bravery, nor Glory lies in killing any one, and If you choose to Kill a foe, your living death has just beGun.

Survival turns ta hell, for Those who would eXist withOut their soul; they've gone and Lost the precious, Sacred thing... that Once had Made them Whole.

But If you chose to Murder, now you must rePent, and beg the Blest: Forgive my sins! Indwell my heart! And Always Help me do what’s Best!

Express your deepest Thanks, commit to Love As Long As You Shall Live, and surely Jesus Christ will take you In, and All your sins forGive.

BLESSED CALLING

Blessed Calling

She once had a hurt that could not be healed.

She searched everywhere, 'n went far afield,

lookin' for Answers, that just couldn't come,

ta lighten her darkness, and help her some.

Then came an old ally, and then Came more:

a child and cat beSide her own front Door.

Each needed rest, to be consoled and fed;

they needed their own nice Places, to bed.

So then she found some comfort there, in Care

for others having burdens She could Share.

She started singing, smiled, and laughed again!

She opened up her heart and let them In!

When We be Faithless, Fearing Takes conTrol; our Anger Drives aWay esSential Things, and Dominance beComes our Highest Goal, we’re Lost, reJecting All the Savior Brings!

So How do We wake up and Get it Back, the Saving Grace that we’ve aBandoned Flat? We Gotta Get aGain this Helpful Knack: reLigious Loving-kindness – COME-ON-BACK!

And So we Must deVote ourSelves to Truth, if Ever We’d reTurn to Being Free – choose Beauty, Not this Fighting Claw-and-Tooth, but Loving God and Ev’ryOne, ya See?

WhatEver We creAte is Up to Us -- with Heaven’s Angels’ Help we Shall sucCeed; and If We’ll Offer THANKS – inStead of FUSS – the Source will Grant us Grace, it’s GUARAN-TEED!
