Caterpillars and lady bugs and noisy bull frogs
Sunlight through the leaves of trees and moss covered logs
Tadpoles and minnows, crunchy stuff underfoot
To go exploring as a child – wonders everywhere I look!

The feel of the warmth of the sun on my skin
And a pond bottom’s mushiness as my toes start sinkin’ in
Crawdads and fire flies and the smell of a musty wood
Being out doors , Man, it’s just plain good!

There’s a swishy sound you make when you slide your feet
on the forest floor
Daddy long legs used to scare me but he don’t no more
I used to just love to lay out and watch the stars
And wonder how anything could be so beautiful and yet so far


Some memories of childhood
Remind me life can be full and good
I want my child’s child years
Filled with laughter and far away fears

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Now my flesh becomes the Word and dwells in Heaven. For His flesh is my flesh. I am bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. His flesh is risen and will never again taste death, therefore I also am risen and will never see the second death. O death, where is thy sting? It is not I who lives but Christ who lives in me. The life I now live I live by the faith of the Son of God who lives in me. His victory is mine and it is complete and perfect and lacking nothing. No good thing, nothing pertaining to Eternal Life and godliness has been withheld from me. All that I am is found in Him.

Mighty Warrior! Warrior of Warriors! Come and redeem Your own! Come and replenish the earth. Come and walk this earth once again in communion with men! May all rebellion, sin and death be put far from us. There is none in Heaven beside Thee, oh Lord, let there be none beside Thee on earth! Come, let the watchmen cry out! All creation groans! No more cruel bondage! The dark one and his servants are cast out forever. Come people of God! Cry out and rest not until all things are accomplished according to His Will. Be vigilant. Watch for His return. Pray that we will escape the final damnation of this world. Pray – those who endure to the end will be saved.

Faint not. Look to one another. Strengthen the feeble hands that hang down. Love one another and by so doing cover a multitude of sins. Rejoice! Marvel not at the trials and tribulations you are going through as if it were a strange thing. Rejoice! You have been counted worthy to suffer for My Name’s sake! All those who will live Godly lives in Me will suffer persecution because the world hates you as they hated Me. Nothing’s changed! They crucified Me and what will they do to you? Fear not – for I have overcome the world. All these things must come to pass before the end will come. The cup is full of the wrath of My Father and it shall soon be poured out and when it happens – come with Me and hide with Me in the cleft of the Rock until His anger is appeased. You have heard it said that your enemy goes about as a lion seeking whom he can devour but I say to you that men who devour evil will themselves be devoured, for the eyes of The Lord run to and fro throughout the earth beholding both good and evil and woe to them who commit evil and not good. Woe to them who call evil, good and good, evil. Do not blaspheme My Spirit any longer! Do not resist Him for He only desires your good. It is not My Will that any should perish but if you who choose darkness instead of light do not repent quickly behold I come with a double-edged sword.

There is no one who can stand in My Presence without the seal of My Father upon their forehead, for their minds have been sanctified and every evil thought has been cast down and in them is no guile. They are My beloved brethren and they are loved by My Father and the world is not worthy of them. Behold! Their blood cries out to Me from the ground and they shall not go unavenged for vengeance is Mine says The Lord. Do not let your hearts become hard, haughty or cold because iniquity will continue to abound more and more as the end draws near but even more so will My Grace abound to you. Fear not I say – I have overcome many evils and I will overcome until the end. Abide in Me and I will abide in you: and you will endure to the end because you are the fruit of My Father – in you is the seed He will use to replenish the new Heavens and the new earth in that day that My Father presents Me with My long awaited for Bride. In that day her beauty will radiate throughout the Heavens and the old heavens and the old earth shall be put away as garments not worthy of My Bride. The new Heavens and the new earth shall be My Father’s endowment to her.

In My Father’s house are many mansions and I am even now preparing a place for you, My love. Look to Me and not to another for love. Remain faithful until the end. Put your Hope and Trust in Me and where I am you will be also. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked nor stands in the practices of sinners nor sits in the seat of mockers but this man rather, delights in Me. My power and My Glory will be known to him and others will see and many will repent and be baptized and he will repair the breach and restore the paths to dwell in and My people will perish from lack of knowledge, from lack of knowing Me no longer and I will give them shepherds who will guide them with My heart, who will feed them with knowledge and understanding and guard them with My Word and who will even be willing to lay down their lives for My sheep, who will no longer flee when danger comes, who will no longer seek to preserve their own life but will seek to preserve the lives of My people. These men will be shepherds after My own heart. They will care for My people as I do. Tenderly and with great compassion will they lead My people. When was the last time you saw a shepherd weep for the wounds of My people? I ever live to make intercession for you, and I still weep for you and My Father has saved My tears and you will see them one day. Fear not – put on the bond of perfection which is love, which is My engagement ring to you and all those who are properly clothed will not be turned away. I love you.
- Yeshua Emmanuel
love perfected

The soft green hills of Canaan seeming
so close I can almost taste it's air
The golden sunsets, the stars are gleaming
Oh my love, I'll meet you there

All God's promised, He's not forgotten
The land of love where war is rare
He'll bring to fruit all He's begotten
And I know my love I'll meet you there

This land of strife
This land of war
This land of hate
will be no more

The strife of tongues
they will soon cease
As we fill our lungs
with the air of Peace

So rest my love, take my hand
as God leads us to our promised land
Where milk and honey they flow abundantly
And God forever loves you and me
Where God forever loves you and me,
Faithfully......

When our sweet Savior died on that tree
He was thinking of you, He was thinking of me.
His love kept Him on the Cross' beams
for His death wasn't what it seemed
for shortly after He died,
His great heart of love came back alive
for love can never truly die.
True love can never die.

And what of you, and what of I?
If we let our hearts fill with the love of Christ -
then we to cannot truly die.
We too will find our hearts beating
again and again
with the love that never ends....

We will find that it's death, not life, that is fleeting....


The Word and the Love of God are both eternal...
IF we fill our hearts with them both (not just one),
then our hearts also become eternal....

Every Love Song


Every love song ever written
was written for me to sing to you -
You sweet love, with whom I'm smitten,
you sweet darlin' with a love that's true.
So every love song I can think of
I'll sing to you my one true love.
If they run out before our days do
I'll make up some more just for you.
You deserve
every word
ever sung
to a loved one.
Yes, every love song ever written
was written for me to sing to you -
cause baby it's only proper and fittin'
that the love you give is returned to you.
So let me start with this song here,
let me give you some o' them happy tears,
let me give you smiles not frowns,
let me give you way more ups than downs
for you deserve
every word
ever sung
to a loved one...

In this world so appalling
oh Lord, I still hear You calling.
In this world so sick,
Your love is fantastic.
So take me now,
take my heart,
oh Lord endow
all You wish to impart....

In this world so fallen,
I still hear You calling.
In this world so rebellious
Your heart is still jealous
for fellowship with me....
So here I am - here to please
You, my souls purest lover.
Take me with You to discover
all You have prepared
for those who boldly dare
to give up this life
to become Your forever wife.....

It is a lonely place indeed
to be the only one awake
while everyone around you is asleep...

You cannot speak to them
for they cannot hear.
They are in darkness
without sight
while you see clear
because you are in the Light.

They cannot move, they remain still,
while you are able to obey God's Will.
In many a church, spiritually speaking,
most of the people are spiritually sleeping.
They are deaf and blind and lame,
yet believe they are alive because they know His name.
Truthfully, they are Laodocians,
not seein', not knowin'
where it is they're goin'.....

I had trouble sleeping last night. My soul was wrestling with itself. After I drifted off, finally, I had an epiphany. I was born again. I woke up to the winter's first snow fall - so beautiful. It reminds me that "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall become as wool".
And I started thinking, as I saw the snow-laden bushes, I was marveling at the God granted beauty of it all and I remembered that Jesus ...said we must hate this life and I thought "but I love it". Then these words came to me -
"This life so full of death (and)
This death so full of life"
We must hate our life apart from Him, full of sin. We must hate living without Him, without His lordship and love. We must love the death He granted us on the Cross. Most of us think He gave us life on the Cross but He really gave us death - death to life apart from Him. We must love this death to our fleshly desire to live without Him - to live by our own rules, our own wisdom, to rule ourselves, without Him. Amen.
Then, as I continued to walk to class at the University I work at, I saw a girl enter an elevator - she had on a white (like wool) jacket with large letters on the back that said "PLEASE SAY NO - YOU CAN DO IT". This, again, was a sign, was God speaking to me, encouraging me, setting me free. From this day I say no to sin, to lust of the eyes and flesh, and especially to pride - of life, pride in this life which hates God and all He is. I say yes to a humble heart, that begs God for mercy, every one of my remaining days on earth....

 Because David's heart smote him, Saul's wrath never did.   For David's wrath was directed against himself  -    while Saul'...
