REFLECT AS THE END TIME DRAWS NEARER
For many years in my adult life
I used the name of Jesus Christ in vain
As a young Jew growing up
It was a name that I was taught to disdain
But in God’s time He took my blinders off
I read both testaments all the way through
I saw the error of my ways
And now I’m a creature born anew
Jesus came to free us of our sins
both the Jew and Gentile who is grafted in
By His blood our sins have been forgiven
By professing belief see your new life begin
Although I know that I have sinned
He said that He’d remember this no longer
And because His Holy Spirit lives in me
My faith in Him grows even stronger
Now I can minister God’s message
With the poetic talent which I’ve been blessed
And if I plant a seed in someone
God will handle all the rest
He will take many blinders off
Throughout the world with a swift sword
And one day all the people will declare
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
I implore both Jews and Gentiles
Let God remove the blinders for you to see
Once the devil’s bonds are broken
You will know the truth that set you free

SEASONS
SEASONS
The seasons come upon us
Each one seems to be unique
The weather changes frequently
Day by day and week by week
The first one to come upon us is Spring
And the pleasantness of what it brings
The grass turns green and flowers bloom
This is the time when the robin sings
Then comes Summer and the heat
A great time for swimming in the pool
If the air conditioning breaks go buy a fan
There's more than one way to keep cool
Next comes the season of Autumn
It is also called fall if you please
When all the leaves get raked into piles
And scatter all over at the slightest breeze
The last one that comes is the Winter
And depending on where you reside
It's either too hot or much too cold but
The temperature is much better inside
The seasons are a never ending cycle
Perhaps you may sit and ponder why
Then another month has come and gone
And another year has passed you by

BLIND FAITH
BLIND FAITH
Have you ever given any thought about
People who say that they can not cope
The reason that they cannot deal with issues is
Because they feel as though they have no hope
If you’re going through some issue
Internally there has to be self doubt
What you need is a rock to lean on
And that is what faith is all about
There is only one higher power
That can bring you peace of mind
You need to put your trust in God
Leaving all the other junk behind
Everything that happens in your life
Is completely in His hands
Helping you to cope in life
Is just the tip of what He plans
Sometimes when you pray and seek God’s help
His answer my not be what you’re looking for
But He alone knows what is best for you
To move your life forward and restore
I could go on and on writing many verses
About the wondrous things that God can do
Blind faith and trust is the key to believing
It’s yours to choose God leaves that up to you
By your reading this poem I have planted a seed
This ultimate decision however is still up to you
The choice that you make will impact your life
I pray that God’s Grace and Mercy envelop you

THE WRESTLER
THE WRESTLER
A few years ago I met a very talented student
He had joined the high school wrestling squad
He won every single match that he competed in
What he was lacking was a relationship with God
He was so skilled in this sport that
People saw him as the best around
He spotted his opponent's weakness and
Then proceeded to pin them to the ground
He went to the state finals and was defeated
But he learned a valuable lesson on that day
He accepted his Jewish Messiah and was humbled
He knew that win or lose God was in his life to stay

11TH OF SEPTEMBER
11th OF SEPTEMBER
This poem is dedicated to the men and women
Who lost their lives on the 11th of September
It was a horrific day in modern history
Which most Americans will long remember
The cowards who were responsible for this disaster
Were Muslim fanatics who must have been insane
And although we still mourn for those we have lost
We must make sure that this doesn’t happen again
This day has brought the citizens of our great nation
Who live from border to border and shore to shore
To a patriotic fervor not unlike the one
That we had seen so many years before
Make no mistake for their leaders
Will be caught and punished too
If it is not by us then by the Lord our God above
For His is the final judgment of what all of us do
Just know that through the memories
And as a way to help get past the pain
That one day when we ascend to our eternal rest
We’ll see those friends and loved ones once again

A CALL TO SERVE IN THE CONGREGATION
A CALL TO SERVE IN THE CONGREGATION
There are many ways to serve the Lord
One on Sabbath is to bless the wine and bread
When I encourage men to sign up for it
Many times I hear the following excuses instead
I can’t sing or I get nervous in front of crowds
Where would we all be if Yeshua had said,
“I really can’t hang on a tree right now;
I’m too busy, get someone else instead.”
You don’t even have to sing the blessings if
You feel that you don’t have the best voice
It’s a blessing just to say them
God has given you that choice
This is just one of the many ways to serve
There are a multitude of others
The blessing that comes by serving God is yours
As well as your Spiritual sister and brothers

FILL YOUR PLATE WITH GOD
FILL YOUR PLATE WITH GoD
How full is your plate in life
Is it filled with worldly things
Things which are not Godly
But all the trash that satan brings
Wouldn't you like to change all that and
Have God's Shalom being full and complete
Just take a step of faith through prayer
And the bread of life will be yours to eat
When you accept Yeshua as your Messiah
You will be changed into a new creature
And have a one on one relationship with God
God’s Holy Bible will become your teacher
Then when the temptation of the world arise
You can say no to the devil for it is written
Because you are echad with God and Messiah
The evil deeds of satan can always be smitten
For any new viewers on the site:
Translation of 3 Hebrew words:
Yeshus (Jesus)
Shalom (Has several meanings. In this case peace
Echod (One)

THE WIFE THAT GOD PROVIDED
THE WIFE THAT GOD PROVIDED
I cannot find enough words to write about
The multitude of qualities of my wife
For me she is the most wonderful person
That God saw fit to put into my life
Intelligence, compassion and beauty
Are just at the tip of her personality
Anointed by God and a blessing to many
I am awestruck that she chose to be with me
I thank God every day for this
For without her I’d be so lost
And I’ll always be there for her
It doesn’t matter what the cost
Not only is she my soul mate
She is also my best friend
And because God joined us together
We will be there to the very end
