RESPONSE TO KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR'S LATEST WHINE

10/27/2017

0 Comments

 
Sorry, Kareem, but you have simply swallowed the bs from the far left. Every millionaire sports figures like yourself should go see the movie, "Thank You for Your Service." Thousands of service men and women have paid the price so people like you can make millions, and then sit in your easy chair and whine. Millions of Americans, yes millions, understand what I have just written and reject your notions. What is happening in the NFL can also happen in the NBA.---Empty seats, Empty stands. Millions of Americans are demonstrating that we really don't need to buy your tickets or watch your games. We honor our fallen and wounded heroes too much. You and your protesters really aren't needed. Bill Morgan.

                                                                           ISAIAH 9:2,6,7

                               The people that walked in darkness 
                                 Have seen a great light
                                   They that dwell in the shadow of death
                                     Upon them hath the light shined
                                      For unto us a child is born
                                       Unto us a child is given
                                         
And the government shall be upon his shoulder
                                And his name shall be called Wonderful
                                                                      Counsellor
                                                          The Mighty God
                                             The Everlasting Father

                                       The Prince of Peace
                                
                                Of the increase of his government and peace
                                there shall be no end
                                
                                Upon the throne of David
                                And upon his kingdom to order it
                                And to establish it with judgment
                                And with justice from henceforth
                                even forever
                               
​                                The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this

IN THE DARKEST NIGHT

                                                          IN THE DARKEST NIGHT

                                    In the darkest night
                                    There exists a light
                                    That cannot be diminished 
                                    Or dimmed 

                                    'Tis the light of Christ   
                                    That lights our way
                                    No matter how lost 
                                    We may be

                                    It calms our soul
                                    And takes control
                                    Of all our fears
                                    And foes
                        
                                    It gives us pause
                                    To contemplate 
                                    And sets us free
                                    To worship Thee 
                                   
                                    (Written on October 11, 2017)

                                  Take counsel together and it shall come to naught
                                  Speak the word and it shall not stand

SAND IN MY SHOES

                                                             SAND IN MY SHOES

                                    I have sand in my shoes
                                    As I walk the sandy beach
                                    Wondering at times just why 
                                    My God seems so out of reach
                                  
                                    Maybe he's been searching for me
                                    And it is I who is out of touch
                                    So many things happening in my life
                                    Haven't had time to listen much                                                                         
                                    If only I would stop awhile
                                    And listen to the autumn breeze
                                    Maybe I could hear him better
                                    If I kneeled upon my knees 

                                    Let me hear thy voice, O Lord
                                    I am but a simple man
                                    Guide me with thy quiet voice
                                    Uphold me by thy hand

                                                      ROUGH DIAMONDS


                                                          On occasions, we have tried so hard
                                        to be so good, so right, so perfect...
                                        and have failed so miserably.

                                        And then, we have punished ourselves
                                        with feelings of guilt, inadequacy and shame.
                                        When, what we really needed to do was to
                                        learn to accept ourselves...as we are.
                                        For, after all, God has.

                                        Certainly our Heavenly Father desires us
                                        to become like Him.  But, He is wise enough
                                        to know that our God ward journey may take 
                                        a little time.

                                        While on this journey, may we learn to love
                                        and like ourselves so that we may better love
                                        and like others.

                                        And, don't forget, that the diamonds on display
                                        on the jeweler's shelf...were once lumps of coal 
                                        like
 us.

ISAIAH 7:10-14

                                                                    ISAIAH 7:10-14

                                  Moreover the Lord spake again
                                  unto Ahaz saying ask thee a sign   
                                  of the Lord thy God
                                   
                                  Ask it either in the depth
                                  or in the height above

                                  But Ahaz said, I will not ask,
                                  neither will I tempt the Lord
                       
                                  And he (the Lord) said
                                  O house of David
                                  It is a small thing
                                  for you to weary men 
                                  but will you weary your God also?


                                 
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:
                                 
                                  Behold,   a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
                                  and (ye)  shall call his name   Immanuel

                                                          WHAT COUNTS THE MOST

                                   What counts the most in our lives?

                                              Great thoughts
                                              True friends
                                              Honest toil
                                              Prayer time
                                              Words sublime
                                              Quiet places
                                              Clean hands
                                              Pure hearts
                                              Humble souls
                                              Unbroken promises
                                              Old truths
                                              New beginnings 
                                              Immortal intimations

                                         That which counts the best...
                                            should count the most.

HOW GOES THE SUN?

10/14/2017

0 Comments

 

                                                              HOW GOES THE SUN?

                                Wrote St. Paul, "Let not the sun go down
                                upon your wrath." (Eph. 4:26)

                                How many marriages could have been
                                salvaged by just obeying this one admonition.

                                How many sons and daughters might still have
                                fond memories of home had these words been
                                heeded.

                                How many hearts may have been saved from
                                breaking simply by acquiescing to the spirit
                                of gentleness.

                                Tonight, may the sun not go down our wrath,
                                but rather...upon our serenity.
