How do I flee from this prison?
My body!
How do I escape the torment that
keeps me bound?
My body!
If I leave this shell, that is a hell.
My body!
I must avenge my hurt that they inflict upon me and,
My body!
I can't do it whils't i'm in,
My body!
Too tired to fight the ancient battle,
I surrender and just pause a while to sleep.
My body!
I've reached the point where I no longer can go on.
My body!
Why is inside of me and outside of me so different?
I don't understand it.
My body!!!
By Irene
He loved my right out of this time in my life and gave me a new life in Him.
Sleep, heavenly sleep,
end the pains of the day
Each night I sleep brings me one day closer to death.
Each day that passes I get older and even more alone.
The family is always near me, but never really with me.
So alone, so alone.
All I have to look forward to is tomorrow,
because tomorrow brings me one day closer to death.
Oh! if I could be free of this life of mine,
useless and dead,
just to wander into unknown places,
being free of this mocking shell of a body that I possess for a time.
Oh! But what a long, long journey,
until it reaches it's end,
and then it all seemed like such a short span,
but I look forward to tomorrow,
because tomorrow is the End.

In 1976 just after I wrote these words,
I gave my heart to Jesus Christ,
and I now look forward to tomorrow,
because tomorrow is just the beginning to a new life in Christ. }i{
---just as a caterpillar
is transformed into
a beautiful butterfly,
we become a new creation
when we accept jesus into our hearts.}i{

Prov.3:5,6
The word never contradicts God.
In light of ETERNITY...most things are unimportant!

My Daily Spiritual Diet/Food
If He gives you the job, He will give you the tool.
The word never contridicts God
The word changes your mind,
Anything other then the word of God is a placebo to
don't do anything about this matter in the flesh...
The flesh always bites the hand that feeds it.
In light of ETERNITY...most things are unimportant.
T'was a sheep, not a lamb that went astray

Listen my children,
By Mama M.
This is the scripture that God gave to my troubled heart, many years ago.
Your mind changes your actions,
Your actions changes you.
someone's spiritual needs.

the flesh is like a dog that bites the masters hand that feeds it...
the only way to be careful is to walk in the spirit
and make no provision for the flesh...
the flesh always bites its owner!

The Twin Towers incident is the setting of the stage to the

"This is my heart's cry"
T'was A Sheep
in the parable that Jesus told
T'was a grown-up sheep that wandered away
From the ninety nine in the fold
And out on the hill-tops and out in the cold,
T'was a sheep that the Good Shepherd sought.
And back to the flock and back to the fold
T'was a sheep that the Good Shepherd brought.
Now, why should the sheep be so carefully fed
And cared for even today?
Because there is danger if they go wrong
They will lead the lambs astray.
For the lambs will follow the sheep, you know,
Wherever they wander, wherever they go.
If the sheep go wrong it will not be long
Till the lambs are as wrong as they.
So still with the lambs we must earnestly plead,
For the sake of the lambs today.
If the lambs are lost, what a terrible cost
Some sheep will have to pay.

Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep
of my pasture! saith the Lord. Jer.23:1

It's up to the Shepherd's to identify the wolves for the
sheep/lambs.

Mama & Papa M's First Thanksgiving
And you shall hear,
The exciting story,
Of not Paul Revere.
The cupboard was empty,
The table was bear,
And this was the day,
Our Turkey to appear,
Instead! Our dinner was at a Diner,
And all we could afford,
Was Turkey soup in a bowl,
and a sesame topped roll.
The Cost was a quarter,
For that Thanksgiving order.
Our stomachs were empty,
But hearts full of Love,
For having each other,
And the "Father" above.
diversity
The only diversity the body of Christ is to have, is in the area of spiritual gifts.
In the area of doctrine there is to be no diversity. We have the mind of Christ and the mind of Christ has only one doctrine, one Way. No where in the bible can be found "way's"
God say's their is no other god but Him. All other ways or gods are to be rejected by a born-again christian. Everyone does have the right to believe what he or she wants to believe. We cannot convince anyone to believe, that is the job of the Holy Spirit. We are called to preach/minister the gospel of Christ, nothing more, nothing less.
Anything other then the gospel is a contridiction. The only power there is, is in the word of God, that is why satan wants us to believe there is more then one way. Read your bible and ask yourself what Jesus said to preach and where we should take that preaching from. I want to end with a couple of verses just to start you on the road.
1 Cor.12:4
1 Cor. 12:6
KJV
And by the way, God is not Protestant, Catholic or any other denomination.
God is God.
And the only way is through the Incarnate One, God came in the flesh and His name is Jesus. God the Father.
God the Son.
God the Holy Spirit.
But don't mistake that statement as to think I am a person of the oneness sect, I most definately am not!
I know that Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever and He changeth not and He is not the author of confussion. If you ever read John chapter three, you will know that only one religion believed in God in those days and Jesus said that the only true religion of the day which was Judism was not the way and that a man must be born-again or else he would not get to heaven. Religion is not the way. Jesus is the way, the only way!
Ninevah repented but Jonah didn't.
The book of Jonah is four chapters long
Jonah went through an aweful lot before he finally obeyed God
And a wonderful thing happened...Nineveh repented but Jonah heart would not be glad...in fact he wished that God didn't give him the job in the first place and he knew that God would make him successful. Can you imagine a person that was told that he would have success and he would rather have had failure.
How many of us listen to God to tell other people but we won't do the very thing that God calls us to tell others...in other words...practise what you preach.
We were told what to do...be ready!
We were told what to say...preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Did you ever invision that the church would do anything else but what God commanded?
We are to walk in the spirit and talk the gospel.
Nineveh will repent before the church does.
God help us.
The world needs bread...the Bread of life.

And The Reason Why
I have had many favorite verses since my salvation in 1976.
I have had several favorite scripture verses since God gave me this one, but I have gone back to it a couple of years ago and it will continue to be my favorite.
Not just for the reason God gave it to me and made it real to me (which is enough of a reason in itself) but because:
It is my life raft on the troubled sea of life.
So you may ask what is your favorite scripture already.
Well here it is:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him , and He shall direct thy paths.
Prov.3:5,6 KJV
