Under His Wing

A friend of mine wrote poetry before he died. His name was Dallas Brown. He wrote two books: Intimate Voice of God, Heavy Rain and Light Breezes.

The following is an unpublished poem by him for me and my second wife after my first wife passed.

Under His Wing

Under the Wing of God

I found you

My love, my one and only,

We would have been married long

And happily

But your tragic death

Changed all plans.

Why? Why was I bereft

Of my youthful, loving,

My chaste virgin,

Who knew no man,

Who waited until we

Became one in our own home?

My love for her will not fade.

Healing trudged slow

And sadly, until a day

When he touched my face,

With a Light Breeze

Reminding me of his many

Blessings of life.

I could only love again,

By this power of God.

Don't think me rash,

Or hasty, or as giving up

On a dream I once had.

My dream remains

To do His Will!

If a friend join me

As a new wife

In the Lord,

We shall continue on

In His Steps!

Thank You God

God 

        I just wanted to thank You for keeping Your promises. When I was young, You taught me Your ways. As I grew in age, You helped me to not forget Your teachings. You disciplined me in my arrogance. You helped me understand Your love with respect to those who seem to struggle with godliness.  Funny?! When I asked to be like You - I didn't know it would take sooo long.

(Will I ever get there?)

Anyway - Thank You for teaching me to become like You.

God Wants Us To Forgive

7/30/2012

        Over twelve years ago, my wife and I bought a small, two-bedroom house before our first child was born.  It wasn’t top-of-the-line, but, it was special.  The house was white with a big back yard and a fireplace.  We put some sweat equity into it and stayed there until we found a preaching job that offered us living accommodations.  So, as a result of our move we became landlords.  We had a few good years of quality renters until the day when we got tenants who
NEVER paid their rental fee.
            
         To find out more, check out my new article entitled, "Forgiveness".

Power Over The Pigs

11/7/2011

1 Comment

 
In our family study, Mark 5 taught us about Jesus dealing with the demon entity(ies) called Legion. 

Jesus removed these demons from the man.
Jesus did not fear the demons.
Jesus talked with the demons.
Jesus was feared by the demons.
Jesus allowed them to go to the pigs.
Jesus healed the demonic man.

What demon is there that will not bow to Jesus?  What demon do we have to fear if Jesus is leading our way?

A Tough World

It's a tough world for people - even children.  I talk about the tough world in a new article entitle "Plans A, B, C, or God's Plan".  If you let your kids read these articles, I suggest that you read this one with them and guide them through some of these tough concepts.

Remember, be the Lord's humbled when looking for a plan to live by.

Prayer Of Love

A friend lost a child, of nine years old, in a hunting accident.  There is nothing I could say . . . .   For those who truly believe in Christ, please pray that God strengthen this family as they continue on in their grief. 

Please be humble before God as you cry with those who cry.

I hope all the mothers out there had a great mother's day.  I wrote a thank you to God for the mothers in my life.  It is called 'Many Mothers".  I hope you enjoy it.

The Thief

4/6/2011

Today, my family were victims of an attempted scam. 

I put an ad in a local sales paper.  From that, these people, called my phone number using a relay service that is normally used for the deaf.  (The bank said this is a common technique.)  This person promised payment in a money order.  They said that they would need to use a driving service that would pick up the purchase from me.   Yet, they also sent more money than needed.  Their reasoning was so that "the driver service" could also pick up other purchases.  Anyway, the bank caught the fake money gram and informed me of the fraud.  Fortunately, there is no harm to my family and I thank God for protecting us.

Theives come in all shapes and sizes.  Yet, they are cold and calculated - selfish to the core.  It is no wonder Jesus said, "The thief comes to kill and steal and destroy.  I (Jesus) came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10  ;cf. John 12:5-8, Ephesians 4:28, 1 Peter 4:15).

Christians must be wary of the thief because they are just like their master - Satan.  They wish to destroy.

Where Do You Stand?

People live in a world of choice.  Some people live in a republic and they have choice.  Some people live in a theocracy and they have a choice.  Some live under a communistic state and they have a choice.  Some live under a dictator and they have a choice.  Some live in poverty and they have a choice.  Some live with wealth and they have a choice.  

We have a choice because no matter where you are born, where you live, or who tries to control your life - you can choose to follow or not follow God.

"And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15).

Remain humble before the Lord.

Five Years

2/19/2011

It is about 5 years now since my first wife passed away with cancer.  I have noticed that my irratibility factor has fluctuated much during the last few weeks.  It is interesting how cyclical pain can be on a yearly basis.

Now, I have the opportunity to assist another person who has just lost their spouse to illness.

One might think that five years are enough healing to "get over" the loss of a loved one; like, a spouse.  Not for me.  I am touched everyday by thoughts of happiness and sadness.  I pray God uses me to assist in the stuggle for others who are and will be confronted by such challenges.
