A poem a day

A poem a day makes what go away
You see an apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away
The problem is apples make me nauseous
Time is meant to heal all wounds
But to me it seems that time only enhances memorizes of disappointment and shame
But what does a poem a day cause...
Does it keep you from the doctor -- no
Does it heal old hurts --no
Does it serve any function in society -- not really
Then why for generation after generation someone puts words on a page to tell a story by writing a poem
A poem doesn't make anything go away -- no no
Instead it brings you to think -- of what -- Any and Everything

testimony

What can we then say to these things if God be for us then tell me who can be against us. If God opens a door who can dear shut it. You know a couple months prior to my birth the doctors told my mom that there was a complication with her pregnancy and that she should just abort because if she didn't there wouldn't be a hope of either of us surviving. But I am here 22 years proving the doctors wrong and telling the devil that he has no say in my life. What the enemy planned for evil my God turned it around for my good. Now if God already beat death from the time of my birth what can stop me - nothing. Be encourage that the devil my try and stop you but God has already won the battle on calvary so go ahead and walk in you victory. Be blessed and be encourage God has you in mind and He loves you so much

The Quake - August 23, 2011

What do we learn from a quake?

Who's name do we shout first?

Who do we look for to see if they are okay?

Do we become stronger?

Do we reflect on our lives?

The Quake

The quake shakes us to the very core

We keep on thinking 'i could've done more'

We ask the major questions 'what am i living for'

and think of avenues we never explored

we humble ourselves and realize our humaninity

and notice we are all subject to gravity

where do we run and hide and find shelter

or do we realize no where is safe and we are helpless

if this is true and we cast all caution to the wind and do whatever

if this is false then where does help come from

it comes from the one who makes the earth quake,

with the sound of his voice

and cause the mountains to skip and the approach of his feet

the seas clap and the oceans roar at His presence

and time and space can not contain Him

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of Host - Yahweh is his name

Sept 11

I think it is interesting...

we remember those who have fallen; and rightfully so

on the other 364 days of the year-- what are we doing to make our lives better though

we treat each other with such disdain

but Sept 11 comes - and washes the stains?

the people that were enemies

are now contemporaries.

we smile and fawn and act politely

but in our heart we hate them and not slightly

we pretenders! we false prophets

as crocodile tears fall from eye socks

we who use Freedom to justify war

so what exactly is worth fighting for.

Selfish. Silly. Stubborn

we search for Freedom like buried treasure

but Jack Sparrow is in movies; there is no gold to measure

but we hunt for Freedom like a prized deer

and forget those we hold dear.

there has to be a solution! Freedom has to be attainable

I'll tell you. Freedom. by Jesus - indelible

so let us remember the fallen

and have cause to no longer be so sullen

because He lives let us face tomorrow

and be forever free- in Him -from now- till every morrow


the start of death

Though my posts about the Bible are not going to follow any type of order i thought it would be cool to start with the book of Genesis. Let's look at;

A) Genesis 1:28b "and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing thatcreepeth upon the earth.
B) Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
C) Genesis 3:1-6 the serpent tempted eve and she ate the fruit

In scripture A, man is meant to have dominion over everything, this dominion was given to them by God. The reason i place in red "over ever creeping thing" is because Eve had dominion over the creeping thing (serpent) and 1. wasn't meant to talk to it 2. shouldn't obey it. Imagine a king listening to talking pig on matters of the country (it makes no sense right). Someone in dominion shouldn't be listening to an animal. So the first sin was that Eve didn't show dominion the second sin was that she ate the apple both of these sins were sins ofdisobedience.

Now in scripture B, the sentence is interesting because most people read it this way "on the same day the eat the fruit they should die" but lets unpack the sentence:
King James Version: For in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt die. If we use the synonym of "thereof", which is"thence"or "therefrom" so replacing with these words it reads
For in the day thou east therefrom or thence. So basically the sentence means because the eat the fruit they will die, however it never specifies when they will die but in Genesis 5:5 Adam dies.

So because of sin we have to die, but "whosoever believes in Jesus will not die but have everlasting life" John 3:16b, this everlasting life continues after death (flesh). Our spirits never die but our flesh does. And that is the start of death.

P.S. i am not a Bible scholar just someone that loves God.

watching tv

what is it about watching tv that causes one to be so captured
you can sit in front of tv for hours at a time
but try reading a book or doing something and there is a problem
all of a sudden you get fidgety and you can't concentrate
you think of a thousand other things you could be doing
so what happens when we are not watching tv?
do we fill our day with random occurrences
by passing the roses on the road
waiting for the moment in which we plump back
down on the chair and watch tv.
what is it about the minimal that takes prevalence
over the maximal we find a way to do
the least and get the most
and as such we never are able fully
appreciate what we get because we never place any effort
but we are really good at watching tv
doesn't that mean something?

story idea

in the midst of the blackest darkness comes the brightest star. But here in the darkest darkness Vida doesn't feel like anyone can see her, hear her, or knows where she is. Vida is sitting in a pitch dark room. The room has a bed and a toilet but Vida can't see anything...
