 “If suddenly ya think ya've blown it bad, make sure ya haven't gotten all confused! 'Cause If ya have, the outcome might be sad – because your common sense ya haven't used!”

PEACE & JOY FOR AMERICAN CHRISTIANS


 “Our self-indulgence never brings us bliss, so why indulge, while children starve and die? We claim we're Christians, but the Mark we Miss – our selfish pleasures never really Satisfy. So, Heaven, please, these hearts of ours Inspire, so we'll discover love's a Peaceful thing. Yes, Loving 's how we'll reach our hearts' desire, and know the Joy that only love can bring.”

NOTE TO A FUNDAMENTALIST


 “Conceptual thinking's very deadly stuff, and fundamentalism's deadly, too. If You be proud or scared, you'll have it rough – so Let the Lord reveal himself to You!”

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME!


 “To harm a person's very, very wrong, by reckless word or deed, neglect, or hate. Why don't we pray fer patience deep and long, instead of hastening ta judgment, wait? Like me, I've surely done some cruel things, and I have Loved the mercy I've been shown. It's Heaven's love from which that mercy springs, and we all need it, 'cause we're error-prone. So, Buddha, please do not give Up on me, 'cause I'm a work in progress, day by day. Your light of Truth, I always need ta see, so please enlighten me, dear Lord, I pray!”

THE FAITHLESS MAN

The Faithless Man
(talking to Heaven)

He cares about his pleasures, not much else: the money, power, mischief, stuff like that. He sometimes likes ta glorify himself, and Lovin' Christ, to Him, ain't where it's at. So How'd this fellow Get so very nuts? He's all too Human, prone ta make misTakes; he chickens out, he doesn't Have the guts… ta Love the hearts… that he so often breaks.
So, Heaven, Help me be more Kind than him, be Kind enough ta follow Christ each day, 'cause Otherwise my Future'd look too dim! Lord, Be My Light! In Jesus' name, I pray!

HELP ME DO RIGHT

Help Me Do Right
(from a guy to another guy, and then the Lord)

If Fears conTrol my Life, I've Lost my Way. And Only Perfect Love kin Cast out Fears. If Chicken-Hearted's How I Choose ta Stay, I'll Cause my Self and Others Pain… and Tears. 'Cause Cowardice eNables Anger, Man, and Anger's Murder, So the Wise ones Say. But Kindly Mercy Is a Better Plan, and Christ kin Help me Show that Love toDay.

FerGive me when I Blow it, Precious Lord, as I've ferGiven Those who've Messed with Me; at Times the Holy Spirit I've igNored, and I've not Been the Best that I could Be. Please, Shine uPon my Heart your Loving Light… and PuriFy that Heart, and Make it Strong! And Help your Erring Servant Get it Right, next Time, so I won't Do noBody Wrong! Please and Thank you!
