weapons of chose.

She, fades in to the concreteness of reality and,
Awakes in the early bird singing part of the day, lying
Motionless on her hay. Her arms and legs and head feel heavy, as if they are held down with bricks. Her large green eyes are open wide as
She takes in the silence for only but a moment.

Soon her thoughts begin to pop in… make sure and remember to finish that… oh ya pay that bill… I need to call mom about that… like popcorn in her head, they over take the morning stillness in her mind.

Before the popcorn of the day threatens to invade
Completely, she pulls her led arm to the night stand
Next to her bed. She takes hold of her weapons of chose, her Journal, pen
And, chapter three of Philippians.

Pressing on, despite the gravity plagued body, she writes her to do
List of the day: organize closet, get oil in car changed. Next, some notes of reminder: buy cat food, pay rent, have lunch with Sarah. She doesn’t forget to write her hopes for a new car, and a trip to the beach when spring comes.
Lastly, there is a wrap up of prayer.

She lays aside her pen and pauses for a few more
Moments of calm and quiet. She gazes out the window,
Happy to have the sun with her. She takes in a
Deep breath, and is now armed and ready for this new day.

Panicky Branch.

Hebrews 2:14-18 NIV Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death---that is, the devil--- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Oh me of little faith, at least that is how I feel when I read scripture that remind me of the great work God has done. The question that comes to mind is how, if I believe that these things are true, should my life look, or how do I live? Things I'm sure of, first that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, that I ...

It's not necessary

Here I am, soon to be thirty one. As I begin this thirty first year, I begin also my first year of under grad. I have some what of an idea of the direction I'm to take, but some how it still is foggy. I still feel as if I'm trying to go down a road that has not come into complete view yet. Here's the thing though, that's ok. It is not necessary to see everything clearly before I begin this journey. I have learned that God, will never leave me or forsake me. "The bible tells me so." Now I have to step out on faith, and hold to his promises and truth. I have to remember too that time and again, he's been faithful, I can trust Him, and I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Oh! Amen!

Words are Powerful

I have not the ability to speak or write elegently, though I long to share the thoughts in my head. My thoughts sometime come with strong feelings, so most often the safest place for my thoughts to be are in writing, speaking has in it an element of speed, which may cause my thoughts to be spoken with out thought. As I have learned, words spoken in haste and with strong feeling influence may be harmful even distructive. I should be one who speaks truth, but if the truth I speak is surounded by harshness and reaction, if it is not gental and thoughtful, indeed the truth may be spoken, but it may not be heard, or taken to heart. This is why it is said of “the reckless tongue”, “ It pierces like swords” Proverbs 12:18. Should I than be silent? Yes I think I should if I can not be wise in the things I say, if I do not think about what I say before I say it I should be silent. Proverbs 12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but whoever hates correction is stupid.   Go...
