To those of you who read and enjoy the poetic word that the Lord gives me; because of certain personal thing that are happening in my life during the month of June, I will be busy with family members who have come from out of town, and in all likelihood will probably not post during that time frame.
HOWEVER:
During that period, I encourage all of you to look at the poems in the archives (below my bio) that I’ve posted over the last 2 years or so.
I will begin posting again starting in July.
Blessings in Yeshua,
Joel

LESSON PLANS
LESSON PLANS
Who among my many worldwide readers
Does not know Yeshua the Messiah
Because if you want to enter heaven’s gates
To know Him must be your heart’s desire
In the New Covenant that God made with man
He tells us that through Yeshua is the only way
Those that don’t know Him but would like to
Please tell me by leaving a comment on my site today
In the Old Covenant God said that to atone for you sins that only
The blood sacrifice of a kosher animal was how it was to be done
Since the temple was destroyed leaving no other place to do this
For you His inheritance God would sacrifice His only begotten Son
Yes you can always receive Salvation by
Accepting Him and confessing your sins
From that time on you are a new creation
It’s the time when your reborn life begins
But there’s so much more to learn about
His teachings and how to live your life
If you haven’t received Salvation or want to
I’d like to help you free yourself from strife
I am just one of the Lords many vessels
And would be blessed to show you how
But time is getting short before His return
I urge you to seek what I can offer now

COMPASSIONATE LORD
COMPASSIONATE LORD
Thank you Lord for you compassion
Although you knew I’d committed sin
I didn’t let go and let God in a situation
Which should have only been win/win
On that day when I fell extremely ill
You chose to warn this wretched soul
Instead of bringing me to judgment
You chose to heal and make me whole
For you saw that I’d found Salvation
Through the blood shed by Your Son
Messiah Yeshua the King of Kings
The hope of Israel and Holy One
I will abide by your decisions although
I know that my flesh might not agree
For Your Holy Spirit lives within me
And it has set this captive free
I will exalt You my Lord forever
With fervent prayer and praise
And use this gift You’ve given me
To help lead home Your strays
God of mercy and compassion
Your strength is my source
Guide me father in all Your ways
Keep me steadfast on the course
Thank you Lord for you compassion

I didn’t let go and let God in a situation

Keep me steadfast on the course

A DIFFERENT KIND OIF MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE
A DIFFERENT KIND OF MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE
When I became of age as a young man
I felt a duty to join the military service
I’m sure that the very thought of this
Made my mother extremely nervous
I signed up and went for a physical
To my total surprised I was denied
They said to come back in six months
The rejection left me with a hole inside
I was determined to change what went wrong
I wanted to make my family and country proud
The next time I was told that I passed the physical
It made me want to shout thank you Lord out loud
I served my country proudly for nearly four years
I never saw action but I worked behind the scenes
Supporting those who put their lives on the line
Those who survived know how much that means
The type of work that I did in the service
Would become my trade in civilian life
I had served my country proudly
Now it was time to start a new life
As time went by my country would go to war
I wanted to serve again but now had a family
So what I decided was the next best thing
Was to support all those in the military
Over fifty years later I still feel the same way
Every day these men put their lives on the line
To protect the liberties that we enjoy back home
And that would include both your butt and mine
Memorial Day is a day to commemorate those brave souls
That died to protect all of us while serving their country
Leaving behind families and love ones who still grieve
Remember them on this day knowing freedom isn’t free

EVERLASTING LIFE IS A NO BRAINER
EVERLASTING LIFE IS A NO BRAINER
Evolution is an ongoing process
We’re born we live and we die
I believe that there’s more to it
And I’ll tell you the reason why
Throughout the New Covenant it tells us
That Yeshua said and did many things
By accepting Him we’re given life eternal
Through the blessing that Salvation brings
The heavenly body that we’re given is new
I don’t believe that it will be the same
And the main thing we’ll do in the after life
Will be to Bless and Praise God’s Holy Name
It’s not exactly what many people may be used to
Considering the alternative it makes more sense
And although I don’t have first hand knowledge
I understand that the heat in hell is quite intense
In heaven you’ll have a place to rest
That’s free of sickness and of strife
To store all your heavenly treasures
Forever with God for an eternal life

GRANDSON
A NOTE FROM THE POET: As you can see, today's poems are being posted a day earlier than usual. Before I post the 1st poem, “Grandson”, I’m asking for a little indulgence from my readers. You see, today is my 75 birthday, and last night; I received a double blessing as a pre-birthday present.
My oldest grandson, Jason Richman graduated from Milton High School, in Milton, Ga. And will be headed to Ga. Southern University on a full baseball scholarship. The 2nd part of this blessing was the fact that his diploma was presented to him by his aunt Shelby, my younger daughter, who is a French teacher at Milton H. S. Also for those who didn’t see this in a previous posting, she was selected as Fulton County Teacher of the Year this year and is 1 of 10 (out of 150) finalists who are competing for the title of Georgia Teacher of the Year that will be announced on June 1st.
Well, now that my ego is a little less inflated, here are this week’s two poems starting with:
“ GRANDSON”
I love each one of my grandchildren the same but
There’s something very special about the first one
In my case perhaps because we had all daughters
It’s as close as I’ll get to having a son
And as I watched you grow into a young man
It gives me an overwhelming sense of pride
Seeing the great young man that you’ve become
I get a warm wonderful feeling deep inside
Now you’re entering a new phase in your lif
My wish is for much happiness and success
Focus on the right things in your lifetime
And always strive to do your very best
Jason, congratulations on your graduation
And the future that lies ahead of you
We love you,
Poppa Joel & Grandma Trudi

THE FOCUS OF MY LIFE
THE FOCUS OF MY LIFE
When my time on earth has ended
Yeshua may I sit down at your feet
I have partaken of the bread of life
Your word is the manna that I eat
Over the span of my lifetime
I have committed many sins
Through your blood I am forgiven
Each day my renewed life begins
I try to be more like You by making
God the Father my Spiritual Master
Should I stray I know the devil sees it
Something that could lead to disaster
I can’t and won’t let satan bind me
I speak God's Truth to make him flee
For blind faith and God’s written word
Has never failed to set this captive free
Will you take me to the Father
So that I may truly know His Glory
For just by living in eternal peace
This will be a never ending story
Father each day I Praise Your Holy Name
Giving thanks for everything that You do
I close each prayer in Yeshua's precious name
The focus of my life will always be on You
When my time on earth has ended
Yeshua may I sit down at your feet
I have partaken of the bread of life
Your word is the manna that I eat
Over the span of my lifetime
I have committed many sins
Through your blood I am forgiven
Each day my renewed life begins
I try to be more like You by making
God the Father my Spiritual Master

I can’t and won’t let satan bind me

So that I may truly know His Glory
For just by living in eternal peace
This will be a never ending story
Father each day I Praise Your Holy Name
Giving thanks for everything that You do
I close each prayer in Yeshua's precious name
The focus of my life will always be on You
