MY Garden

You have given me a glorious Garden to tend
You have breathed the essence of life into my fields
Given knowledge where ignorance once was
As you have shown me how to plow my fields


As I have tried to plow each row straight
Some have been with a twist here and there
Tending to weeds and much loved seedlings
Giving life nutrients to each delicate plant


Some of my weeds have grown thorns, causing me great pain
Filling me with doubt, as I grasp to pull them from my garden
Lesson’s taught each day
Fighting to keep my garden free so as not to be barren


I can’t help but wonder, as I look to the Heavens
Watching for storm clouds, my first sprinkle of rain
The sprout of my first seedling
When will I see the fruit of my labor?


As my growing season comes to an end
And my garden has given up her bounty
And as I draw nearer to your shore
It is You, My Lord, I say thank you too

An Occupation of a Single Mind

It's a journey begun before my time, started Centuries before man and earth. One that has been followed and embraced by many like me. One try’s to fit a puzzle into perfect pieces and yet they come close but never fit like before the big Boom.

Some have wondered where God fits in this great expanse of space and yet I find it so easily answered, by putting Science and Faith together, like a pair of gloves they fit...

I am just a simple spot or blimp on a plan, formed in perfect union by God, when he so created this vast wonderful Universe. I have many questions and must say many have no answers yet, but yet I feel comfort in my mind that creation was done by God and only He.

I only wish I could recall more instantly things that made me come to believe this way, but my mind seems to fail me, more than I care to reveal now. I just simply believe that God, Man and Science can all fit and be explained, by starting with the journey of 13 Billion years ago and watch from there the great formation of stars, Constellations and Planets, Moons and Our great Earth, forming her mountains rivers and hills, nestled with valleys and plateaus. This place we call home, now being threatened by Global Warming.

Well I don't believe in Global Warming, ( as in man made ) I think it is a function of our Planets ever emerging change of tides, winds and formations. A recycle of many things that have happened hundreds of years before and now a pattern similar happening once more.

I know these sounds of a rant from an old crazy woman, but I don't ask that you agree or disagree with me, just simply look for facts, not someone wanting to make a buck on a popular subject. After all in time it really won't matter, will it?

Deliverance

There was a time in History
That God sent to you and me
A man born for this day

While His life was spent
Teaching His Father’s message
Of Eternal life and Redemption

With a plan laid out long before you and I
His judgement sat before a lesser earthly man
Judged guilty by fear of His Might

His path took Him to a Hill that day
Burden with the weight of a Cross
While a Crown of Thorns adorned His head

While His Mother watched each nail
Put through His Hands and Feet
With his Sides pierced and Vinegar to moist His thirst

By His sides hung two thieves
And with his Grace granted them eternal life
While the agony plagued His Earthly Life

The Earth shook and turned to Darkness
Many knew a wrong had been done
As he gave up his Ghost

Asking His Father to forgive those
Who had chosen to take His life
His blood shed that day for you and I

As they cleansed His Body
Wrapping it in a white Shroud
They put the Stone in place and cried

Returning they found the Stone rolled away
With Transfiguration complete
He left us His Comfort
Salvation, His greatest gift
