Interstate 84

Here where the clouds kiss the mountains
His mercies they forever surround us
His Breath is upon us and within us lives His Joy
No more can Death contain us – our sin He did destroy


Now Love has filled His Temple
Now Love exacts His Toll
Here where the clouds kiss the mountains
My Lord has kissed my soul
Here where the clouds kiss the mountains
My heart His heart enfolds


S.O.S. 4:9










I used to live in Waterbury Connecticut but I worked in Fishkill, New York at the TBN TV station there. I loved the drive back and forth in my 280zx, a gift from my wonderful friend and mentor, Daniel Warner. Often, the view was so breathtaking I would pull over to the side of the road to worship. It was during one of these “worship breaks” that I wrote this poem, hence the title “Interstate 84”.

Rescued

If you don’t swallow your Pride
Your Pride will swallow you.
Like Jonah in the belly of the whale,
Your Pride will consume you, without fail,
And take you where you don’t wish to go
Yea, your pride will swallow you whole.

And only true repentance
From the depths of your heart
Will from your pride set you apart
By the way, it stinks in that belly, too
And spiritually speaking
Pride stinks on you –
Quite a mess, really
I must confess, really
Pride stinks on me, too!

God help us all to avoid the fall
that pride brings us to
Only by You and Your Cross
Will we make it through
Only when pride has been spewed
and we’ve learned humility
can we be

rescued

PS: Happy Birthday Mary! Eze:7:10

Is your heart a very nice home for God?
To settle in?
Or do anger and bitterness room
where His footsteps trod within?
Do you keep His house clean of malice, hate and fear?
Do you realize God dwells here?
Is your heart a nice place to live?
How much rent does The Lord have to give?
Have you invited Him to stay?
Or is He only welcome on certain days?
Does He own your heart or do you make Him pay?
Is the furniture of your heart Righteousness, Peace and Joy? Or
do you make The Lord stay out in the foyer?
Are there rooms He’s not welcome in?
Are there closets full of hidden sins?
How much room have you made for Him?




Rev:3:20

Haiku

the Wind touches me
it speaks of simple things, hush
it blows my thoughts clear


Life has conquered death
By the power of His Breath
Oh! The Victory!


The Joy of Life is
not in the living of Life
but in the giving


nothing is more sweet
nowhere in this Universe
than God’s Mercy. Mine.


Our life is a gift
given by God that we must
now give to others


all the world’s a stage
will you please God or man? Choose.
Know your destiny.

Jer:33:3

Amnesty

“An official act of oblivion or pardon on the part of a government, absolving without trial all offenders or groups of churches. Intentional forgetfulness or over looking, especially of wrongdoing.”


They will be Delivered
because they have heard
They will be set free
because of Me
They’ll be astounded
because they abounded
In Love for Me
So hear My decree –

Amnesty
Amnesty

For every captive prisoner
For every Son and Daughter

Amnesty

This is My offer
This is My generosity
This is My heart
For all who will believe
Freedom for the captives
Freedom for those bound tightly
Oh Amnesty, Amnesty
O deaf and blind, hear and see
My Amnesty
Jer:33:8
