ECHAD WITH GOD

ECHAD WITH GOD

When I pray daily to God my Father
And His Son Messiah Yeshua too
Ive been given the gift of the Holy Spirit
That makes me a creature born anew

And through the gift of the Holy Spiri
Unbelievers see that i am blessed by God
In my sptitual walk on the narrow path
Which shows the three of us to be echad

For my thoughts and prayers are hineni Lord
I will always serve You as You see fit
You know that even if what You ask is hard
I will press forward to the mark

I have had an abundance of gifts poured upon me
All are used to bless and prais God's Holy Name
Whatever I'm able to give back does not matter
Because as a Completed Jew I'll never be the same

When my time on earth has ended
And only God knows the exact date
I will exalt the Lord even more than I did before
In gratitude for all that has been put on my plate

I'd be happy just sitting on a log in heaven but
God said that ther is a mansion waiting for me
It overflows with His Shalom and needs no locks
For the Lord's Grace and Mercy hold the only key

MEMORIES LOST

MEMORIES LOST

As I sit at my computer I feel compelled
To write about some things I’ve lost
Some poems some photos and other things
And in the end what would be the cost

I do remember certain things about
The papers and objects that I can’t find
But I only remember bits and pieces
So it’s hard to leave these things behind

The memories of my family who have passed
Will always stay engrained within my brain
These are memories that I will always cherish
And replay each one of them over and over again

These other losses will always haunt me
Because they must have been important too
Otherwise I would not be dwelling on them
Perhaps you can tell me what I need to do

If I do not find the answer to my quest
I understand that I need to be moving on
Perhaps some day they will show up again
But for now I have to think of them as gone

ARE YOU SEARCHING

ARE YOU SEARCHING

Are you searching for the answers to why
Things happen in your life the way they do
You just need to check the mirror
Because it all starts with you

You’re the subject of an investigation
With regard to your spiritual belief
And God wants to fix the problem
In order to give you some relief

God has made you in His image
But satan looks to lead you astray
The way to turn this all around
Is to seek God’s Face and pray

God as Father Son and Holy Spirit
Sounds like three but is actually one
Messiah Yeshua is your Saving Grace
The blood atonement paid for by God’s Son

But God also gave you a free will
God or the devil is yours to choose
Accept eternal life that God gives you
Or satan’s sinful path to hell and lose

I pray that you choose the righteous path of God
Know that the road to get there may be bumpy
God won’t ever give you more than you can handle
Just accept the path willingly and don’t be grumpy

There ‘s something else that you need as well
Salvation is not just about talking the talk
When you become the Lord’s disciple
You’re also required to walk the walk

I could go on and on forever about
The blessings that Salvation brings
Just remember not to sweat the small stuff
The Lord’s plans for you bring better things

THEN NOW AND FOREVER

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN ON 8/19 TO MY WIFE TRUDI, 9 WONDERFUL YEAR AGO TO THE DAY OF OUR FIRST CONVERSATION WHICH LASTED FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS.

THEN NOW AND FOREVER

Every year these special occasions
Come and go like the blink of an eye
Just like the swiftness of days it’s becoming
Harder to write and it makes me want to cry

Please forgive me if I don’t remember
All of the things I need to do each day
Just know that my unconditional love for you
Will never wane in any way

You understand and put up with
My many faults that come your way
And with your help I try to change them
But somehow they don’t seem to go away

So if by chance I’m unable to write about the
Love and respect that I have for my best friend
I just needed for you to know that it will forever be
Sealed and locked within my heart to the very end

OOPS, SOMEBODY GOOFED

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS ME OR THE WEBSITE PEOPLE, BUT THIS FIRST POEM WAS PUT ON LAST WEEK'S BLOG & NEVER SHOWD UP. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAPPENED TODAY THAT I HAVE NOTICED ALSO. WITH APOLOGIES TO MY WIFE HERE IS THE MISSING POEM FOLLOWED BY THIS WEEK'S TWO POSTINGS.

TRUDI NOEL

(POETIC LYRICS WRITTEN TO THE TUNE OF BLOODY MARY FROM SOUTH PACIFIC, WRITTEN RIGHT AFTER SHE ACCEPTED MY PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE.)

Trudi Noel is the gal I love
Trudi Noel is the gal I love
She was sent to me from heaven above
God knit the perfect glove

Trudi Noel is the gal I love
She’s the prettiest gal you’ll ever see
God said that this is meant to be
When He planned our destiny

Trudi Noel is the gal I love
The Lod has given me a new found life
My heart is beating like a booming drum
For she’s agreed to be my wife

EXHORTATION

EXHORTATION

As many of you know by now
I am a vessel used by the Lord
With words given to me by the Holy Spirit
And the knowledge that we’re of one accord

The words today deal with morality
Which was also on my daily devotional
It was from the book of Hebrews 3:13
It caused a stirring and was quite emotional

It says to seek those who have gone astray
Pray for them to change their sinful ways
Before they are stricken with hardened hearts
So that God will deal with them in a pleasant way

There is only one Living God
No matter what you may believe
But satan will try to fool us
His purpose is only to deceive

I know that I’ll get some flack on this
Yet these other gods are not around
But God’s Holy Spirit dwells within you
One of many places where He can be found


Can you tell me when the last time was that
Another god provided answers to your prayer
The Living God provides all of your needs not your wants
Repent and you too will receive the Lord’s blessing to share

THE PEACEMAKER

THE PEACEMAKER

Many many years ago
In the town of Albuquerque
Lived a very famous man
By the name of Alvin Perkey

Now Alvin was a lawman
Who was feared by all
The outlaws steered clear of his town
Or else he would make them crawl

Then one day a man appeared
And he gunned old Alvin down
A sudden fear came over folks
For now this was his town

The people shuddered in their boots
All that is except for one
For this brave young man you see
Was Alvin Perkey’s son

A gunfight in the streets was set
One good one bad one had to die
Two shots rang out one man lay dead
And the town breathed with a sigh

The town again was in good hands
For his son now carries on
But alvin’s memory still lingers
Though he is dead and gone

A statue was erected
To this man of great acclaim
A symbol of law and order
Alvin Perkey was his name

I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS

I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS


I have seen so many religious hypocrites
But God has told me that I shouldn't judge
So I put situations like this in The Lord's hands
It's a Godly Command from which I will not budge

It is not enough just to attend religious services
Just good works won't get you heaven bound
By accepting Yeshua as your Lord and savior
You'll be turning your entire life around

When your life on this planet is finished
The judgement you face is in your hands
The only unquestionable way to do this
Is by obeying whatever the Lord commands

One example which I can give you is
In life don't put on that blinder hood
Learn to love your neighbor as yourself
God said to do this for His greater good

God is not there just for when you need him
He is there throughout all the night and day
You can reach the Lord at anytime or place
When seeking Him you just need to pray

You may not get the answer that you looking for
Perhaps because what you ask should not be done
But it comes From God who is right and just
Who else could have sacrificed His only Son

Yeshua's blood was shed for your salvation
From this there's a lesson that you must learn
It is to follow His Ways as best you can and
Then He will always stand by you in return

He's told you to go forth and minister His word
From Genesis all the of way through Revelation
Messiah’s return will be coming soon because
All of the signs point to us as the end time generation

If through your ministry only one person finds Salvation
And they follow your example by dong the same as you
Multitudes will come to know the Glory of the Lord God
And they will be among those who are heaven bound too

When you go through the Pearly Gates there are riches
Which go beyond anything you could possibly measure
But the greatest reward that you will receive on that day is
That Father God through Yeshua is your heavenly treasure

LET THEM SEE THE LIGHT

LET THEM SEE THE LIGHT

There are sighted people in the world today
But so many of them are spiritually blind
They must learn to live together in harmony
Leaving each one of their prejudices behind

For the Lord loves all of His children
He has asks of us that we also should
By putting aside our hatred and resentment
And living together in peace and brotherhood

THE COUPLES RETREAT

THE COUPLE’S RETREAT

Soon we will be going on a couple’s retreat
Our teachers will bring us to a new dimension
And change our lives as believers and couples
I’m positive that it will get our attention

I am not a Spiritual Counselor
But I can give you a heads up
The bible says that women need love and men respect
That's just one of many ways to fill your marital cup

We’ll sit back and absorb the messages
And when the teachings are all done
No matter how close we were before
Our minds and hearts will blend as one

We know that Yeshua is sitting in on these sessions
And if there's still an issue that was not addressed
We will pray and ask for His Spiritual Guidance
Knowing that the Lord will handle all of the rest
