WHY LET "THE BOOK OF REVELATION" OBSESS YOU?


"Some people get by prophecies obsessed, they waste their time and wildly speculate. But If ya'd be by Heaven richly blessed, you'll love yourself, your family, and mate.

Please, never let yourself be led astray, but focus on what's noble, good, and pure; may Jesus guide your every move today, his grace your sanity and health ensure!”

TO RISE ABOVE YOUR CHALLENGES

(for an unbeliever)


“Lord Jesus loves ya very much, my friend, and he can save ya, free your heart from fears. On Buddha-Christ our wisest ones depend, especially when any trouble nears. I hope You, Too, will come ta call him Lord; ya won't regret it if and when ya do. He's good at gettin' things you've lost restored, like sanity, and Health, things Good fer you. And If you'll practice peace, he'll grant ya that; devote yourself ta truth – he'll help ya love. His beauty, truth, and love are where it's at; trust Christ – if there are Things you'd rise above!”

MAY I PRAY?


 “So many times before I've failed ta pray. Lord, help me do much better, please, today! A prayer habit, Lord, please, help me form, in me, let prayer start ta be the norm – with words like, “Thank You!', “please”, and “help me, Lord”, “I love you, Lord, I need you very much.” “Please, help me get my Sanity restored” and “Grant me, please, a tender healing touch!” To know the Lord, we must communicate, with Him, through all our ups and downs each day. If I could all of this more plainly state, “Whatever words you use, or none, friend, Pray!”

UNPLEASANT TRUTHS ABOUT A FOOL


 “Profoundly ignorant, a fool mocks Truth, and tightly clings to lies as though they're gold. He rants them forth, in manner quite uncouth; he bought them wholesale, back in days of old. His mind is constipated, darkly set; his words like gas that's long been held within. He's full of crap as anyone could get, and doesn't care 'bout love, just wants ta win. Lord, bless his mind with sanity today, and help it get unbound and fully free. Please, help his heart choose life, while yet it may, and help him know he's loved, by You and me!”

JESUS CHRIST AND YOU

(an open letter to Donald Trump)

“No human being is a monster, sir, but corporations all are demons, though. The loving, happy child that you once were, now what became of him, where Did he Go? To foster death for many millions – sick. That’s what the demons want for you ta do. So why surround your heart with walls o’ brick, and never truly worship You-Know-Who?”

It's Neither Hillary nor Trump we Need; we Need ta git some Sanity in Us. Who needs the lies and fears, the hate and greed? Why Let ourselves be thrown beNeath the Bus? And Why abandon Love fer Evil Fun? It looks like mischief holds a sick appeal. It Takes some Faith ta choose the Holy One, but Faithful Love kin Help our Nation Heal.

PEACE

Peace


If people drive ya nuts, ya Need ta Pray, and if ya can, ta spend some time alone. My friend, ya might just need ta get away, sink into peace's pool just like a stone. 'Cause everybody needs some time to rest, recuperate, regain some peace of mind. And if ya will, you'll find again you're blest, and even see those clouds are silver-lined. Could be you'll find it easier to love, that's love your self, and other people, too. So leave behind the hurried push-and-shove, and spend some time, dear one, in loving you.
