It's so easy to just say, "no,"

When you are not in the throe

Of passion; but when the heat is on and every urge in your body says "go,"

Can you still say, "No"?

Why wait until it's two

Against who?

It's hard enough to fend him off, but yourself as well?

The fire you're playing with can land yourself in hell:

Broken heart, unplanned pregnancy, broken dreams, disease, ended life.

For a moment of pleasure? That's too high a price!

So say,… Continue

Pensive means to think,

To ponder and to weigh.

Repent means to think again

Because prior thoughts have gone astray.



It's time to reevaluate

The choices we have made.

It's time to tear down

The foundations we have laid.

It's time to build a structure

That is new

Upon a firm foundation

That is true.



Born again to create

What is yet to be.

New thoughts giving new eyes

Brilliant clarity.

Every thought… Continue

El-Elyon, Adonai,

Shammah, Tsidkenu, Olam, Rohi,
Mekaddishkem, Hoseenu,
Sabaoth, Eloheenu,
All my heart, I give to you.

I

Determined to go a fishin' to bring back a bountiful catch for myself and others

For I am

A fisherman.

And others followed me

And we

Went fishing

All that night and caught -- nothing.

We returned weary and frustrated with empty nets.

This was one experience one not soon forgets.

All our labor was in vain;

And our egos were in pain,

As a call came from the shore,

"Have you any meat? So we answered with a… Continue

The darkest hour,

They came with lanterns

Seeking the man called "the Christ."



Judas stepped forward,

Welcomed the Savior,

Betraying the Lord with a kiss.



A man seized the Lord.

Peter rushed forward,

Severing the man from his ear.



Jesus then turned to

The man and healed him,

Then to Peter to calmly instruct,



"This is the cup that

My Father has given.

I drink it, for this is His will.



There… Continue

Many faces yet one people.

Many feet yet one stand:

Together in unity, love and peace

With our fellow man.



Having all men working with one purpose

And speaking with one voice,

The impossible becomes possible

And success becomes our choice.



Every obstacle is surmountable

And every problem is resolved

Without hatred, strife and prejudice,

When every man is harmoniously involved.



As touching any matter

Collectively… Continue

Of all the events of my history,

Which should I store in my memory:

My failures or my victories?

My mistakes are remembered more easily,

Obsuring my success with its effigy;

Until the depiction of who I am is a poor imagery,

At least in my own mind.

So stop: let me rewind!

Should slothful times outweigh days of zealous activity?

Should periods of fervency be doused by seasons of frigidity?

Should moments of religious hypocrisy remove all hope of… Continue

Poneros, ponos, penes -
Derivatives of one root.
Evil, pain, poverty -
Branches of one shoot.

A sense of lack begets a sickness
That sin attempts to heal;
But deception can only be cured,
By the truth revealed.

He whom you obey becomes your master

And you become his slave.

Your decision is quite serious.

Your decision is quite grave.



Your strength, his kingdom builds.

Your wealth, his coffers fills.

Your agreement, his goals do empower.

Your warfare, his enemies to devour.



There is but good and evil.

There is but life and death.

The choice you choose to make

Becomes your only test.



The consequences of your choice may be a… Continue
