If I can't be free
be free for me
oh my sweet
butterfly away
butterfly away....

I fell to earth
far too soon
Don't you fall too
Don't you fall too....

We had our moments you and I
Together we soared so high
but I couldn't remain
where hearts unrestrained
go and take flight
into seasons of delight....

Where innocense keeps fear
far away and not near....
So

You my sweet
butterfly away
Don't retreat
but use your wings
to soar above
dark and painful things....

Stay where love is
Don't stray from it
Don't follow me
Stay where love is
Forever light and free.....

How I want to be remembered
is not how I am.
Oh how I wish I was
a much better man.
Sure I have my pluses,
things I'm proud I've done
but I've far too much baggage,
regrets far more than none.
So I offer my remaining years
as penance for the many tears
I've caused to flow.
My stubborn pride has brought me low,
yet just as stubbornly I cling to hope.
If you're a young man reading this -
avoid the mistakes that quench the bliss.
Humble yourself or someone else will.
Apologize often. Stay calm, be still.
Slow down, think before you speak.
Peace is the prize you should always seek.
Don't let your pride stand in the way
of the healing God is sending you today.
Keep your focus where it should be -
on our Father both Righteous and Holy.
Let His Spirit take the reins of your heart.
Receive the wisdom He longs to impart.
With God as your guide, you won't miss the mark.....

The greatest thing Satan loaths and fears is a human heart fully in love with and connected to the Father, as his heart once was. He despises true saints - Jesus' bride, for we've taken his place in Heaven. When he sees us, especially when he sees and hears us worshipping, he sees what he lost and he sees the Father again (boy, he looks just like you! The family resemblence is uncanny!)
He hates the Father, therefore he hates us. So flee religion, flee Babylon and don't look back (remember Lot's wife).

When the Holy Spirit is the one we are following and submitted to, the fruit of it, the sign, will always be the Father's presence, the Father's will being done and the Father being honored and glorified. Jesus said it - "Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name". We must not exalt fleshly, earthly fathers or men over our Heavenly Father or spiritual Father for this is what religion seeks to do - exalt men while debasing God. Religion puts a man or men in charge and exalts them above due measure. The very desire to be in charge, to be lifted up above our fellow man is satanic - this was his very desire in heaven now expressed through men on earth, in earth - to be above everyone else. Shed your hearts of this desire, leadership, for it will destroy us, our ministry, for our ministry is to be like Christ, the exact opposite of Satan, who became a servant of all. Let this same mind be in you. Why else did he wash their feet? Wanting to keep being the boss comes from the flesh, not from God. If we are following Jesus we will want to be the servant of all not the Lord.

Brethren, do not take offence
Do not seek to recompense
evil for evil, sin for sin
For when, for when
We harden our hearts
By the hate they impart
We become no better
and it sure ain’t smart
For love to mature
To become like the Father’s
We must love those who don’t love us
Though loving doesn’t mean you submit to abuse and hate
But you always desire their good and to relate

Savor every step for you know not when
the path you call your life will come to an end.
Live the life you love, love the life you live
but always remember what a gift life is.
If indeed you live life to it's fullest
when that last step comes you'll have no regrets.
If you're wrong - apologize.
If you're right - don't act wise.
Try to forgive as quickly as you can
for this is what you need from your fellow man.
Simplicity is best
and love from God will keep you blessed....
