Oh Lord, we cry to You
"Whatever shall we do?"
Our life is stripped
Yet we've been dipped
'in the Blood of Jesus'. *
It has covered our sins
And, yes, we win
But, what of the lost ~
TODAY?
We seek to reach out
but they pull away,
I guess they think
they'll have 'another day'!
But darkness is just above their heads
They are still living in sin, fear & dread.
Reaching out, but in the wrong direction
Seeking everything, but correction!
They love the 'darkness' & not the Light *
Oh, help us Lord, to help them fight ~
Against sin & Satan's deceit
Help us to help them ~ stand on their feet ~
AND CHOOSE YOU!
* I Jn.1:7; I Jn.1:5-6. 12/29/95

When all seems black & dreary
And we don't 'feel' very cheery;
All seems to be crashing in
And our minds think of 'giving in'.
We say, "What's the use of going on
how can I keep singing this song:
'Oh, Praise The Lord, I Love You So
He Will Never Let Me Go'?
For truly, how can this be
when my heart is breaking,
All of life seems to be forsaken ~
Does God REALLY care?" *
Then I look into His Book
& His Word speaks 'PEACE' to me,
"YES, He Loves me very much *
now I can truly believe ~ because ~
'THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO'!"
* Mk.4:38; I Pt.5:7. 3/25/96

On 9-11-01, I awoke in the recovery room of the Hospital with the News Media telling of the terrible tragedy in NY City.
I had had a Total Left Knee replacement.
