It was a pleasure reading and analyzing your writing you’re doing fantastic work. It’s always motivating to see such creativity. Are you working on a story these days?
Norwood Night And Other Poems (Book) - 7/8/2026 8:16:16 AM
I really admire how unique your plot is. It didn't feel predictable at all. Did you always know how the story would end, or did the ending change while you were writing?
Seasons (Book) - 3/30/2026 6:28:25 AM
moments through the lens of time, emotion, and inspiration. Though brief at just 33 pages, the book carries a quiet depth that invites readers to slow down and reflect on both the beauty and complexity of human experience.
One of the most compelling aspects of Seasons is its symbolic use of the changing seasons. Much like traditional poetry that draws on nature to mirror human emotions the collection uses seasonal shifts to explore themes such as growth, reflection, loss, and renewal. This approach aligns with a long-standing poetic tradition where the cycle of seasons represents the passage of life and emotional transformation .

Lovely poem to keep going to the finish line.
True Security in an Unsecure World (Article) - 12/22/2021 11:17:06 AM
I've had minor COVID-19 symptoms lately and some bad dreams last night feeling as though I were confined, like I actually am with paralyzed legs and feet.
But I felt better this morning and am busy reading these articles and commenting from my impressions. During this past two years, this house is not received any derogatory events except the need for more caregivers for me who are hard to hire in this environment.
We are fully vaccinated and boosted. So those fears are greatly relieved.

WHEN Evil Comes- What Then? (Article) - 9/10/2020 8:36:38 AM
I like the way you start out this article, not blaming the parties for causing the schism in our society today. But you send mixed messages about conspiracies. Many, many conspiracies are conjured up as interesting fiction. Only very few of those, like science fiction predictions of the future, will come to pass, and it's difficult to determine which ones when immersed in them.
It helps to have a good outlook. You seem to, but it's entirely based on what the Bible says… Literally. The 21st-century is nothing like the first. The primary conspiracy today is the military-industrial complex driving on fossil fuels and continual fear from misinformation.
The concerted attack on Al Gore making him out to be a fool is starting to hurt because we have neglected (purposely) global warming for 20 years longer. Climate change is the primary evil of the 21st-century. Scientific studies have shown that Al Qaeda and ISIS were largely spawned by conditions in the Middle East, the onset of drought rapidly changing fortunes of people living there and the tremendous disparity between the rich and the poor there caused by the vast quantities of available crude oil and natural gas in the region. Age-old conflicts going back in the Old Testament of the Bible and led to almost continual wars between factions. Muslims versus Christians is a good example.
If we don't address global warming soon, it will be a massive flight for survival for everyone on the planet regardless of their prior convictions.
Those who rely on the Bible for all their answers are doomed. It is only freethinkers and those willing to act in a positive direction out of love for everyone else and not their own little narrow beliefs, that will save us from destroying ourselves with all of our excess consumption.

WHEN Evil Comes- What Then? (Article) - 9/9/2020 8:02:55 AM
Indeed... Luke's 'Sermon on the Plain" is the counterpart to Matthew's 'Sermon on the Mount'. The Beatitudes are loaded with wisdom (that never ceases to amaze) and divine comfort for those who can accept it. David... your personal conviction prevails in this article. Thank you for sharing your faith. Maranatha. rlc
A Conversation Between A Cashier & A Customer (Article) - 6/12/2020 11:06:29 AM
Yes, Jesus Christ was a great role model that Gandhi and Martin Luther King emulated. He also was able to, "Throw the moneychangers out of the temple."
I'm all for throwing those moneychangers who have taken over our government out in favor of people who are willing to serve our country with little or no compensation for their good work except the honor for doing so. That was originally intended by the wealthy forefathers of the United States of America. That is not the case, today, in spite of our president claiming not to accept the presidential salary. His failure to reveal his taxes is something Jesus would not do.
Parting the masses with pepper spray to hold up a Bible as his authority, is also something that Jesus would not do.
Ron
A Conversation Between A Cashier & A Customer (Article) - 6/12/2020 6:42:21 AM
Candidly recounted David. IMO, understanding Revelation requires taking to heart 2nd Timothy 2:15, and then digging in. Revelation 22:17 is one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible. "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Thank you for sharing your faith. Stay well. rlc
The Purpose of The Big Pause (Article) - 3/20/2020 9:43:35 AM
This situation certainly does show that as humans, we are all connected by disease. All of our boundaries and ideologies make no difference when it comes to virus moving among us. It is good to see that most of this country is paying attention and doing the right thing.
Panicking and trying to get ahead of the next person, always makes things worse. You're right about contemplating what we are doing and how we are doing it. Isolationism and looking backward is not the solution. There are a lot of very capable people right now looking for medicines and a vaccine that will stop this virus dead in the water like so many other "incurable" threats from the past.
It is time to do the right thing and let the experts finish their work.

The Creature's Epiphany (Article) - 12/16/2019 10:32:35 AM
As an identical twin when there was often only one thing available to us (like what program to listen to on the radio), we quickly learned to take turns and to share. It was a great lesson that I've used all my life so that I didn't get angry while waiting my turn.

Even A Dog ( Loved, Needed and Wanted (Poetry) - 8/23/2026 8:07:39 AM
It's time that the Christian right moves away from the money and power trip they are on and starts acting like Jesus would.
Taken care of the stray dogs and underprivileged people who are struggling just to stay off the streets.

Only (Poetry) - 8/22/2026 10:08:16 AM

Selling Sales (Poetry) - 8/8/2026 6:22:48 PM
THE 'FREEBIES' IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR ME. BECAUSE, UNFORTUNATELY, PAYING A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ONE IS GETTING...QUALITY. SOMETIMES IS JUST PURE...JUNK AND DOES NOT LAST. WHEREBY, ON THE OTHER HAND, ONE CAN PICK-UP A GREAT PRODUCT AT A 'DOLLAR-TREE' STORE THAT IS QUALITATIVELY DURABLE. SO, YES...WHICH 'CHANCE' CAN ONE 'AFFORD' TO WALLOW IN? SPENDING A WHOLE LOTTA MONEY AND FINDING IT WAS A WASTE...OR...SPEND LESS AND MAYBE, GET THE BEST. IN ANY CASE IT ALL ABOUT 'STROKING' ONES 'EGO'.
THUS, FROM ANOTHER ASPECT; "IT'S EASIER FOR A RICH MAN TO GO THROUGH THE 'EYE OF AN NEEDLE' THAN TO GET INTO HEAVEN." THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Selling Sales (Poetry) - 7/12/2026 12:33:12 PM
That's cool. The buzzword today is affordable this or affordable that. They should call it out-of-reachable.
I just spent two hours talking to an agent trying to get a problem solved technically and he managed to get me on the track for something free.
Free implied that I would have to pay a $30 a month subscription fee. It's a form of up selling where you get something that's linked to the Internet and you end up paying monthly on it. If you start getting a lot of subscriptions for things you don't use except occasionally it can really add up to your monthly bills.
I felt sorry for the guy being forced to sell stuff while he was trying to help me and not succeeding I hope you won't get fired for not selling me something.

I ENJOYED THIS, DAVID! INDEED, WHEN WE FORM A UNION WITH JESUS AND SAY 'I DO'...IT IS ETERNAL. AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE DESIRE TO FOLLOW HIM, HE NEVER LET'S GO OF OUR HAND, IT IS WE THROUGH OUTSIDE INFLUENCES... WHO LET GO OF HIS. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Mystery of Light (Poetry) - 10/21/2025 2:53:55 PM
Without it we certainly wouldn't exist. And all the light we've ever known does not come from the stars or the moon.
It all comes from our very stable star that has been burning for about 4 billion years and will continue to burn another 4 billion years before it is predicted to grow and consume our small planet where light won't matter anymore at all.
Ron
Mystery of Light (Poetry) - 10/21/2025 9:39:16 AM
Gosh your poem captures a childlike awe at the elemental phenomenon of light, scientific, spiritual, and emotional, It reads like a nighttime prayer of wonder.
The Feeling of Your Hand (Poetry) - 3/9/2025 6:20:43 AM
David this very good! I hope you are okay and was wanting you to know, a good poem keeps you wanting more. This one did! May you be comforted in whatever you are experiencing!
Blessings and hugs, Teresa

HAPPY NEW YEAR, DAVID....BLESSINGS GALORE IN THE NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS. THANKS FOR THIS SHARING...AND I GUESS 'CLIMATE CHANGE' SUBSTANTIATES THAT 'THE WAR' TWIX GOOD AND EVIL SURELY DOES CONTINUE...BEING THE GREATEST INDICATION THAT 'HE' IS DRAWING CLOSER THAN HE HAS EVER BEEN, AMEN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Steady (Poetry) - 10/8/2024 2:03:29 PM
Change is like that. You have to either embrace it or fear it. The original prediction of Jesus's return was about 100 years after his passing. It has been predicted many times before and never happened. In the past, evil was much more in control of the world then it is now. But time makes those evil actors into heroes.
My grandmother moved from Arkansas to North Dakota in a wagon pulled by oxen that took the whole summer when she was a child. I flew her in a jet plane from Minneapolis to San Francisco in 1968 her generation. Saw greater change than anything in our generation. Except maybe the Internet. Just roll with it and things will get better.
Ron
When You Need Calm (Poetry) - 10/8/2024 10:20:21 AM
Well done, David. The Lord, Jesus Christ, calmed the storm 2024 years ago, and Jesus can do it again! Amen X 110!
To Whom It Does Concern (Poetry) - 9/28/2024 10:50:35 PM
Hey David, Your poem is about the truth of God's rescue plan. People today don't know what they are missing. God has not gone anywhere. But it was the children who moved, many too far left. Your poem deserves more reviews, but people on AD seem timid and shy. Perhaps they don't want to face the truth. Keep the faith, brother. Jesus was never shy. Amen X 110!
For Him This Season Sings (Poetry) - 5/26/2024 1:06:55 PM
Beautiful sentiments for our Light Of The World, the love and grace we never deserved but He gives astonishingly free forward, backward and present in time
These Things Take Time (Poetry) - 5/26/2024 9:12:34 AM
David, Hopefully, we are slowly returning to the basics. The Ten Commandments are the ten building blocks that Moses received from God. Your wonderful poem is a "Wake-Up Call" to return to the basic teachings of the Bible. We must wake up, or we will fall into the wrong hands! Let us all learn that it's best to fall into the hands of our Maker. He made us right, and we should follow Him with delight! Amen X 110!
There Are More Of Us Than Them (Poetry) - 8/23/2023 9:28:34 AM
A grassroots uprising if I ever read one. Unfortunately, those that stand in the path of progress usually get run over. With an optimistic attitude, some good can be found in what you describe as evil.
I'm not sure I want to go back the good old days when general store owners had a free candy bowl, a sawed-off shotgun under the counter, and a cracker barrel with mousetraps to catch the fingers of stealthy cracker stealers. ;-)
Ron
Monopoly (Poetry) - 8/20/2023 9:22:31 AM
In a free capitalistic economy, monopoly is just the result of good business practice. Unfortunately, like your poem clearly points out, the power that monopoly offers can be used not only inappropriately but dangerously by those who have it.
That's why, in the United States, laws were passed to prevent monopolies and trusts from gaining too much power. However, for the last 40 years, conservatives have been gradually removing the laws that control monopoly and trusts to benefit donors from those very monopolies. A kind of collusion called conflict of interest. There are several examples in the Supreme Court and Presidency right now and more numerous in the halls of Congress.
As your poem states, we must constantly be on the vigilance for the cheaters in our business and government and swiftly bring them to justice.
Ron
So Summer's Over (Poetry) - 8/15/2023 12:40:53 PM
Here in Texas, with over 40 days without rain and at least 10 more to go, with each day over 100°, we no longer enjoy summer as much as we have in the past. Summer as we once knew it, may be gone, but autumn will come and perhaps, another deadly freeze for our tropical plants.
We all know what the cause is. And the fossil fuel industry has known about it for 50 years but did nothing more than continue to find ways to drill deeper, burn more and raise the price higher personal wealth benefit and not the benefit of all here on earth faced with the consequences.
We must all change our behavior, very quickly or we will be coming up on a planet that will not be able to sustain us regardless of our efforts
Ron
These Things Take Time (Poetry) - 3/19/2023 6:50:08 PM
Jesus said with God all things are possible.
God never meant for humans to leave Him out of the relationship.
He is the Center of ALL human relationships. We all need God's kind of patience with one another.
These Things Take Time (Poetry) - 3/15/2023 12:58:43 PM
SOME THINGS ARE EASIER SAID THAN DONE, DAVID. AS THERE ARE ACTS THAT HAVE INFLICTED DEEP, SEARING PAIN AND THAT HAS TORN 'TRUST' TO SHERDS. HOWEVER, WITH OUR GOD...NOTHING...THAT IS WITHIN HIS WILL, IS IMPOSSIBLE. THUS, WHEN TWO HEARTS, VOID OF ANYONE BUT THEM AND GOD...REALLY SEEK HEALING AND 'WANT' THE RECONCILIATION...IT CAN, WITH SINCERE PRAYER, BE DONE. REMEMBER THAT FORCE...NEVER WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER TO PART AS FRIENDS WITH THE HOPE THAT GOD WILL LET PATHS CROSS AGAIN....RATHER THAN TRYING TO 'FORCE IT' AND THUS, MAKING THINGS WORSE AND PARTING AS ENEMIES. ALSO, KEEP IN MIND, THERE ARE INSTANCES WHEN A LOSS IS A GAIN AND WHAT WE THINK IS A BAD THING...IS REALLY A BLESSING. INDEED, SO MUCH TO CONSIDER AND AS YOU SAID...THESE THINGS CERTAINLY...TAKE TIME. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Two Kingdoms Still (Poetry) - 12/13/2022 3:55:02 PM
In Christ will be the only reality of unity, all else is human devised and will fail. Good poem, true words.
Two Kingdoms Still (Poetry) - 12/10/2022 8:39:16 AM
We have two choices according to your poem. We can either fix the world by taking action and correcting wrongs, or we can stop making the effort to improve our world but, simply "surrender," to the cult of Jesus Christ, hoping for him to come back like he promised over 2100 years ago and make everything right. But only for the people who "believe" in the cult. All the others like me will be "cast out."
That doesn't sound like Jesus Christ. From what I've read of his life, he gathered only castoffs around him and cared for them. He didn't distinguish or discriminate the way many in the church of Christ do today.
Ron
A Manger (Poetry) - 12/8/2022 11:05:06 AM
Indeed.... in the manger God crafted a beginning, that would never be subject to an ending. Thanks for sharing this, David. Happy holidays, and Christmas blessings to you and yours. rlc
We Intercede (Poetry) - 4/30/2022 10:35:52 PM
some people think we humans can change the world (like John Lennon "Imagined" ) but humans have had thousands of years and look around you...humans CANNOT bring the kind of change that is needed. We need the Lord Jesus Christ!! That's what this poem is about. It is impossible apart from God.
We Intercede (Poetry) - 4/24/2022 9:05:44 AM
Why do we need to have someone, something, intercede for us? Why can't we just change and make this world a better place? It is easy if we try.
Ron
Seeing Through The Storm (Poetry) - 4/24/2022 9:00:55 AM
Yes.... The Bride of Christ is in the world presently, but not of the world. Being Christlike in an evil fallen constantly changing world system is not for the faint-hearted. Romans 12: 2 says much to me. Thanks for sharing. Regards. r

Burdened With Love (Poetry) - 2/6/2022 9:34:25 AM
When someone helps, without obligation, without complaining about some burden, often nonexistent, that is a very good thing. Unfortunately, so many are so wrapped up in their own personal problems, that they failed to recognize that others are in need more than they are and don't help. I guess we can call the ones who do, angels.
Ron
Burdened With Love (Poetry) - 2/3/2022 11:10:37 AM
A burden, divided by two is only half as heavy. This is a true and wise poem, David.
Greatest Kind of Wealth (Poetry) - 2/2/2022 2:33:11 PM
Beautiful sentiments. I love your poem, David.
Greatest Kind of Wealth (Poetry) - 1/20/2022 9:34:56 AM
hint: Whenever I write a poem, I labor intensively over each and every word, whether to use a word, or if there is a better word-choice I can make. Meditate on the phrase from my poem which says : "all others as my self." and may the Lord Jesus Christ Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of all things, grant you His insight. This is soooo important, fellow humans.
Greatest Kind of Wealth (Poetry) - 1/17/2022 2:00:47 PM
Studies show that we can only have less than five true friends throughout life. I have less than that from the ones that have died.
My wealth has been in the many strangers who I didn't know at all, but when they saw that I was in need, helped me out without any judgment. Without them, my life would've been much less richer.
Ron
Greatest Kind of Wealth (Poetry) - 1/15/2022 11:47:27 AM
Good friends are hard to find. However, one must be opened to receive true friendship. When found, one must treasure the friendship.

Loyalty (Poetry) - 8/17/2021 5:02:50 PM
OK, but...never let loyalty replace:
trust, or open-mindedness; or careful examination; or curiosity; or fairmindedness; or the power of thinking, doing, discovering; or being true to oneself. When Galileo was threatened with death for the audacity of reporting moons in orbit around Jupiter, he is reported to have said "God gave us a brain, and He expects us to use it."

I DO ADMIT THAT IT'S NOT EASY AND I KNOW I COULD NOT GO THROUGH FROM DAY TO DAY WITHOUT GOD...THUS, I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS...ALL THE WAY HOME!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, I'VE GOT AN ETERNAL HOME AND MY 'LOYAL' FATHER WHO HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN...HE'S WAITING FOR ME! THANKS FOR SHARING, ENJOYED IMMENSELY. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Loyalty (Poetry) - 8/11/2021 7:39:29 AM
Loyalty comes from royalty. The king used to demand loyalty of his subjects. With loyalty he could demand that they go to war for him and die for him, so he did not have to from his lofty position, willing to sacrifice some of his loyal serfs so that he could gain additional lands and riches. Whenever anyone asked me to be loyal to them, I always told them, No. Loyalty has because a political thing in our society. It ruins a lot of lives being loyal to the wrong thing. I find it much better to be free of loyalty and not beholden to anyone or anything.

Loyalty (Poetry) - 8/10/2021 3:35:00 PM

M e r c y (Poetry) - 6/28/2021 11:09:58 AM
An interesting question. Justice is blind. Justice is often given to the ones with the money for the highest paid lawyers. But you are right. Very few fly under the radar these days. But those that destroy others and their lives without thinking, without any remorse, any mercy. Probably should receive just punishment.
I have lived long enough and watched karma leveled at so many evildoers that I believe justice is served to even those who think they are getting away with it.

God is love, they who are His, are grounded in love. Beautiful poem.
Choose Love (Poetry) - 2/13/2021 9:31:34 AM
In order for that to happen, people need to be educated and understand what is real and what is conjured up by those who love to incite anger and hatred when it serves no purpose. Every action should be for the good of all, not just the privileged. Once fairness is demonstrated by action, all will understand and believe that we can work together on our toughest problems.

The Tire Swing (Poetry) - 1/29/2021 3:46:10 AM
All of us who had one of these in our backyards truly could let our imaginations soar as we played on them...even today when I see one I always look at the rope and the branch and ponder if it would hold me. Well written and definately spikes memories with your descriptions.
Remedy (Poetry) - 1/14/2021 7:33:21 PM
YOU ARE SO RIGHT, DAVID. THE PHYSICAL UPHEAVAL CERTAINLY EXPOSED THE SPIRITUAL CRISIS IN OUR WORLD! AND THE LACK OF IT SPREAD FROM HEART TO HEART AND MIND TO MIND.

Love Must Be Free (Poetry) - 12/9/2020 2:52:23 PM
Many people put the price of material things on love, which of course, would not last. Love has to be free, and life should be what two people made together to create happiness. There should never be any conditions for falling in love.

You Can't Be Too Careful ! (Poetry) - 12/1/2020 2:43:44 PM
Whichever way this world is going, it is not likely one that I would prefer to live in, but then again... For those who are born into the advancement of technology they will not know the world that we had come from. To them, everything may be progressing as it should be. It's the difference in time and era that causes the difference in our points of view.
But I agree with you, it is quite confusing now to know who is lying and who is honest. For our future generations, the world will belong to them, not us. They have to make that decision as who to trust.

Learn to engage the phone tree in conversation. You might be surprised that they really do have something to say to a real person. But wait until you have had the inoculation of the antivirus so that you can talk clearly without a mask hiding your lips and garbling your voice.

This Year (Poetry) - 11/1/2020 9:43:14 AM
Neither characterization is true. The bureaucrat has logged many miles in the help of other people, putting aside his own comfort to try to improve those of others. There is nothing bureaucratic about him.
And the walker never walked a day in your shoes. Always contradicted the wisdom of science and those who had spent a lifetime learning a field important to us all. On a whim, fired his best friends appointed based on merely their "loyalty" rather than telling their friend the truth.
We did vote and are continuing to vote for a better future than the one we been dealt by those who asked us to "trust them" with all the correct decision-making… Or else.

we all hope to make it past the end of this year, good luck.
To The End Of This Year (Poetry) - 10/3/2020 1:17:04 PM
Much apocalyptic is exaggerated and much can be changed with positive, loving action that doesn't rely on fatalistic thought to occur. A change towards the positive like your companion of choice is in the air and working hard to come up with positive solutions.
Thinking negatively only prolongs and exacerbates what we have created that needs to be changed.
Ron
To The End Of This Year (Poetry) - 10/3/2020 12:53:25 PM

Grownup Games (Poetry) - 8/7/2020 8:51:27 AM
So true. Some people find their lives so boring that only the game gives them enough excitement to go on. I reserve games for after I am tired seeking out the truth and commenting on as truthfully as I can, trying to avoid little white lies rather than facing the facts.
Life is good when you are open and truthful. You sleep well at night and don't worry about that day you go away. It's only natural. Everybody does it. Good preparation is much better than hiding your life away until it is revealed inevitably when you die.

It certainly is time for love. It's one thing to preach it, and another to practice it. When we love our country too much, we are leaving out the rich heritage of the rest of the world. No one wants four more years of angry and vindictive leadership. Flattery and palliatives are not love. Love is action in the trenches, not pontification from the tower of riches.
Ron
Love in a Broken Sky (Poetry) - 7/25/2020 6:46:32 AM
WE MUST LOVE EVERYONE...GOD SAYS SO! HE EVEN ASKS(PARAPHRASING)...'WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LOVING ONE THAT RETURNS LOVE?' FOR, IT IS EASY FOR ANYONE TO LOVE SOMEONE WHO LOVES THEM. BUT...TO LOVE 'THAT' GUY WHO DOESN'T LOVE IN RETURN...IS WHAT JESUS ASKS US TO DO. SO, I CAN ATTEST; I LOVE 'THAT' GUY...I DO NOT HATE HIM. BUT I DON'T LIKE HIS WAYS AT ALL!!! LOVE IN A BROKEN SKY, AMEN. SO GOOD, DAVID! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
North Star (Poetry) - 7/25/2020 6:36:10 AM
A WONDERFUL MESSAGE FOR THOSE WHO WILL HEED IT, DAVID, FOR GOD CAME DOWN FROM HIS THRONE FOR THE LIKES OF 'THE LOST' WHICH WE ALL ARE WITHOUT HIM. UNFORTUNATELY...FOR SOME IT IS JUST TOO SIMPLE TO BE OF VALUE TO THEM. THEY CAN'T BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT A BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST IS ALL IT TAKES TO BE REWARDED WITH HIS AWESOME PEACE AND SALVATION. BUT AS YOU CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THEM AND TO WRITE AWESOME POETRY LIKE THIS, IT IS HOPED THAT SOMETHING SAID WILL DIRECT THEM TO THE LIGHT OF THE CROSS. ENJOYED AND THANK YOU SO MUCH! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
North Star (Poetry) - 7/23/2020 9:05:36 AM
Every generation has its slackers, misfits and criminals. It also has enlightened hard-working, studying and insight filled geniuses that move society forward. Without the youth, the older generation could not live in the kind of luxury we have, but don't seem to understand, always wanting more.
Since Plato wrote about the younger generation going to hell, every older generation since as complained about the youth. It's a natural process of hardening of the brain cells losing supply of blood from hardening of the arteries providing nourishment. The less nourished the brain is, the less it understands new things. Always falling back on the way it used to be as though it were better.

Excellent poetic expression David! If all the energy that was spent on making Floyd who unfortunately got murdered into some kind of saint was instead used to help REFORM police brutality we would have a more perfect union. We need to SOLVE the problem, not make more problems and kill more innocent people! Truth and justice will prevail if we just FOCUS on a solution and not make more heartache and problems for our fellow citizens. Jesus Christ is the solution and Love is the answer. Period.

I hate it when my shoes get so worn that the tacks that hold the sole to the leather uppers run through and into my feet. But I just pound those sharp suckers down and keep on walking, limping, bleeding until the end… The end.
So I guess I missed the metaphor message. My bad.

I can imagine them taking off on this monumental first ride. When this poem is read to children, they will learn much later that it was probably their first interest in science that eventually, led to their own journeys to our orbit and beyond. So it is a tale of the 21st century coming true as travel to space and return becomes normal activity.

Ron
The Parade Went By (Poetry) - 5/9/2020 12:10:44 PM
Hugging is human's contact and is meant for comforting others but sadly, with the social distancing, we no longer are allowed to hug one another. Very sad.
Sandie
He Cares For You (Poetry) - 4/27/2020 10:44:36 PM
Of course we know He cares for every bird and also every life He creates and has created. I read Ron's comments and feel rather sad that he is missing out of the love of our Lord. We are blessed to be under His shield is big for all who open the door. Meanwhile during this time, God is patient as he will wait for more. Well done David!
He Cares For You (Poetry) - 4/27/2020 8:58:23 AM
The sparrows at my bird feeder have only a couple of things on their mind. One is finding a mate, making a nest, and producing as many sparrows as possible. In the meantime, watching out for the cat that is always lurking nearby to pounce. And of course, the hawk that swoops down suddenly to snatch lunch or, shivering in the night under a tree branch while a hungry owl swoops in silently to pluck you off that branch.
No, I don't think that He is watching over the sparrow. The sparrow has to be quick to pick up on other sparrows' reaction and get out of Dodge before disaster strikes.
Ron
He Cares For You (Poetry) - 4/27/2020 4:28:46 AM

Yes, we must thank God for life's norms. For it's getting hard to find out what normal is these days. Thank you for this time-out poem. We must remember God's Word trumps all. Amen
cAPTIVE aUDIENCE (Poetry) - 4/7/2020 4:23:16 PM
Jesus Christ says that those walking around in darkness see everything obscurely, but those whose eyes He's opened, they see quite clearly. To those in willing denial of truth, all of life is a riddle and no amount of explaining will ever be enough. All we can do is pray God's mercy into their hearts and be patient.
cAPTIVE aUDIENCE (Poetry) - 4/6/2020 11:15:47 AM
Interesting. Ask a simple straightforward question. And the great always answers with a riddle. I'm reminded of the Wizard of Oz where behind the curtain was just a simple, deluded man.
Ron
cAPTIVE aUDIENCE (Poetry) - 4/5/2020 9:12:37 PM
Excellent points David. We will ALL die eventually. It's God's eternal equalizer. The choice we make now is if we want to live on the dark side or live with the giver of light. People are hoping to make it through this crisis without too much damage to their life-style. But this life is so temporary. I have little concern for myself but for my family, that's another matter. Have a HAPPY EASTER! Amen
When Evil Comes (Poetry) - 4/4/2020 11:11:01 AM
INDEED...WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL TO COME IT IS ALWAYS FOR A GOOD PURPOSE. OF COURSE, MANY, AT TIMES DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND 'HIS' PURPOSE BUT WE ALL CERTAINLY SHOULD TURN TO HIM, OUR VERY BEST FRIEND. THANKS FOR SHARING, DAVID. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
When Evil Comes (Poetry) - 3/31/2020 7:29:13 AM
1st Thessalonians 5:22. "Reject every kind of evil." or King James: "Abstain from all appearance of evil." Isaiah 32:6 "For fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: They practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the LORD; the hungry they leave empty and from the thirsty they withhold water." It's imperative to keep our eyes on Christ at all times, and our spirits filled with His Truth. Thank you for sharing. Be well. R
When Evil Comes (Poetry) - 3/28/2020 11:03:13 AM
It is rather medieval to think that evil lurks. If God is all-powerful and all-knowing, then everything that God produces for us is for our own good.
What I think the Coronavirus is doing is waking up the whole world to the idea that we are not separated by nationality, ethnicity or religion. We are all human and we have to heed what we are doing to our home, our nest. It is time we quit disagreeing and start working together on positive action to save our home and us.
Ron
Farewell To Snow (Poetry) - 3/25/2020 8:16:31 AM
That dwindling pile of dirty snow that you passed is a good metaphor for the virus leaving us during the summer. But we know from the past that the virus will lie dormant during the hottest time of the year and then return again in the cold when conditions are right for it to spread again. Our best defense is not the seasons, but an effective vaccination that has defeated many, very serious diseases before. Unfortunately, a vaccine may not be ready by the time the virus will spread again in the fall.
Like you and President Trump, I don't think we can say that we are out of the "winter of our discontent by Easter." I think it will be much longer before we can breathe the breath the spring and complete freedom again.
Ron
Farewell To Snow (Poetry) - 3/19/2020 12:57:02 PM

We all should know our family's history. It clarifies a lot of things about who we are and why we do what we do. Everyone should get their DNA checked and find out where they really come from.

Old Fashioned Letter (Poetry) - 1/17/2020 10:16:09 AM
I like this poem. A nice, nostalgic sentiment. But believe it or not, paper made after 1900 tends to disintegrate in time. The electronic letter, on the other hand, may be preserved forever in backups even if the original is long-lost. That is why there is a company in the Bay Area collecting all books in existence and digitizing their information.
But for your lifetime and mine. You've reminded me to look up old letters that I saved and read them again.
Ron
Old Fashioned Letter (Poetry) - 1/13/2020 10:01:50 AM

Old Fashioned Letter (Poetry) - 1/12/2020 10:06:47 PM
I love this! I like to have everything old fashion -
like a hand-written letter written from one's heart.
it is worth to read over and over again.
like a good hardcopy book from my favorite author
which I can hold and treasure in my hands,
when I would read it over and over again.

Into Our Fallen World (Poetry) - 12/13/2019 10:37:29 AM
It is hard for me to understand why an all-knowing God would put people through such suffering for some and then have others lead the life of heaven on earth. And then, along with some kind of a enticement that says, "all you have to do is believe in me, and you live in heaven with me forever." A nice easy enticement to get out of the dilemma of why God is so cruel.
Ron
Into Our Fallen World (Poetry) - 12/12/2019 2:22:47 PM
Today we have the potential to kill millions of people with a push of a button or a stroke of a pen. Has it happened? Is it happening? Yes!
Sadly it is. If not, we better take a look around again. What gives folks the right to kill millions of pre-born infants? That's God's creation being destroyed. I am madder that Hell at people's actions of just looking the other way as if a potential life does not matter either way. God cries tears for every one of the millions who never had a chance at life because of this massacre.
The Holocaust happened where over 6 million innocent people were murdered and now it just starting to happen again. Is good going to rise up over all of the evil? Are we just to look at the news and be on the sidelines as witnesses to this hatred of our fellow humans?
Many people these days don't want to get involved with ANY religion at all because of all the hypocrisy and hatred for one belief over another. I can understand that logic. However, we should feel free to practice free speech and be free to practice whatever we believe in as long as it does not involve hurting one another. Therefore, I am walking in the steps of my Lord, Jesus Christ because He is the truth, the life and the door to eternal life. The only Son of God decided to be our Savior over 2000 years ago and even if you DON'T believe him does not erase the MIRACLE that billions all over the world celebrate still His birth in some form or fashion every single year from the time that Jesus lived, died and was resurrected for all of mankind. Period. Amen x 110!
Into Our Fallen World (Poetry) - 12/12/2019 9:19:16 AM
Personally, I don't think things are any different today than it was 2000 years ago.there's always been good, and there's always been evil in this world. The pendulum always swings one way, and then it swings back. A look back through history will reveal many horrific times and crimes, some of them a lot worse than what we have right now.
Into Our Fallen World (Poetry) - 12/12/2019 7:51:39 AM

For Him This Season Sings (Poetry) - 12/6/2019 12:45:19 PM
When we focus too much on a Messiah coming to fix things like the Jews did back 2000 years ago, we waste a lot of time waiting and perhaps forget to focus on problems we have right now right here on earth.

In Harm's Way (Poetry) - 11/24/2019 9:16:12 AM
What you fans of our despicable president can't seem to understand is that people have testified who were there and heard what Trump said. You don't seem to notice that the transcript that was released had some keywords edited out and that the recording has those words (similar to the missing 18 minutes of conversations that Nixon had and were conveniently erased--by his secretary?). A clear violation of the Constitution. Something I hate personally. An individual who uses his/her position of power for personal gain. Watch Dr. Fiona Hill's testimony and tell me that that Trump is acting in the best interest of the security of the United States by loudly proclaiming, "I don't give a F**K about the Ukraine. I want the big things!"
You also don't seem to notice that President Trump has done this sort of thing many times. There is no good in insulting our allies and not keeping his campaign promises to coal miners and factory workers. Promises that he couldn't keep any way. The president has done one good thing. That is on the brink of a crisis, he has not rashly taken us to war like mightily feared. You can point to the economy but that was all brought back during the Obama administration and if you ask people on the street, they are struggling every day, many working two jobs, just to make ends meet as they slip into poverty, now over 51% of hard working people with no assets after debt. There is prosperity, but skewed for the rich. Trump's friends and people. Not the average American citizen.
How you can support such a vile person, personally, I can't surmise. If Trump survives this impeachment proceeding through the benefit of entrenched, lobby supported, Republicans, he will go down in history as one of our worst presidents. Not a do-nothing president, but a president that did not represent the best of our people. Kind, decent, fair and charitable to all.

As a citizen of the USA we are innocent until PROVEN guilty.
So this KANGAROO court is TRULY a NATIONAL DISGRACE.
Our OWN president is put through torture that we should not face!
We would be allowed to have OUR OWN witnesses to present our case!
But that's NOT ALLOWED. Instead, we watch and listen to Mr. TWO FACE!
A ONE SIDED AFFAIR is on the air!
AMEN X 110! My friend....

A cute poem that if read to children would get them out of the house at the start of the first snow to making their own snowmen and naming them.

Simply delightful! But if you wanted to make it a little more suspenseful, like Jack and Jill, you could add that the old rope on the tire was frayed and worn, so when the boy swung too high, it broke and he truly did fly, landing inside the tire and rolling all the way down the hill for the ride of his life!

It's just a simple thing,
but life is great on a tire swing.

Welcome back David - Zach.
Nice poetic thoughts here...
God created us to be composed of more than 98 percent water. I guess that's why we are so attracted to lakes, streams and oceans of water. We're all connected to the land but very attracted to the water.
Well done!
