Peace is Priceless...

All praises…all thanks
All blessings I receive…All blessings I give
All Time is destined mine…All mine is destined Time

It feels good. Really good. No matter how I try to throw a cloud on my life, He will not be denied. He will place a burning Sun in my bedroom and burn me until I thank Him for the rain. He will drown my body in water until I acknowledge who controls every desert.

God is a force to be reckoned with; a force to be respected and revered and a lack of faith will make you miserable and lonely. He will not stand to be discounted or put in reserve. He is the only way, never one of the options. He is Life. There is only one opposite and that is death. Death does not have to come in a physical form, but He can choose to kill your success, murder your relationships, suffocate your happiness or take everything away from you that you obtained to block Him out.

Acknowledgement of His blessings is good. Acceptance of His sovereign power is greater. Obedience to His will is greatest.

He moves so silently in your life you never really notice. My life has been steadily enriched. My stories of triumph have steadily grown. My knowledge and wisdom have steadily increased. There is no one greater.

God is still working on me, but I must smile at the job He has done thus far. Amazing. Spectacular. Outstanding. Top-notch. Yes, humbleness is not one of my strong points. He’s blessed me with so much talent it’s hard to not be convinced.

I’m smiling. I’m laughing. I’m overjoyed because the demons are furious; and the haters are working overtime; and the non-believers are pacing the floor; and the attackers are becoming sick and diseased; and the backstabbers’ hands won’t stop shaking; and the fake friends can’t sleep at night; and the oppressors are frail and weak; and I continue on unharmed on my journey, enjoying the sun and welcoming the rain and waving at the tornadoes and standing steadfast in the hurricanes and swimming through the floods.

Peace is priceless my friends.

Gifts are Given...

Of course it felt like Monday. The chaos that normally ensues when you hit the jobsite was obvious today. Things were not going well. Things were late…jobs were not being done properly, but I pressed on as the minutes turned into hours. The stress of the morning was oppressive. The stress of the afternoon was even more stifling. But count it all joy. Normally the end of the week is smooth sailing. But normal is a cruel friend that only seems to show up when you don’t need him. I had to take a moment to just breathe and relax. In that moment God gave me a reminder – this job, this life, your assets are His gifts. God has allowed me to be in this position during this season and He is controlling this job. He gave it to me and in His wisdom He can take it away. It’s easy to stress or become frustrated over things that you think you control. But when you realize that you are where you are not because of your intelligence or hardwork or strength or resolve, then the picture becomes...

Ready for War...

The battle rages, from zero to infinite ages The blood drips, tasteless, and without fragrance The stench is foul, so flagrant, as I gaze in amazement The days when stars were a’blazing and Geico’s cavemen Saints blend in, defensive to sin, so they’re offensive to men Soul food’s not made in the kitchen my friend Visit with Him then ask for deliverance then Strap on the armor….you’re on a mission to win Dissent will come then as the demons are gathered And spring from the stronghold…but none of that matters I’ll take the Spirit and leave them all tattered Smashed into fine matter and leave their bones scattered Tell them stay off my lawn, equipped with Bibles and brawn Praising God with old songs and daring hellhounds to come Lucifer threw down his gauntlet, I’m dressed exclusive in blessings Satan made it to the playoffs…but heaven wins the series in seven Always testing, never resting, my God equipped me for stress And gave me resolve to keep living until He lessens my breath I’m imp...

Unknown to Many...

Cold breezes blow boldly, low feelings of losses No passion, no action, serene scenery glosses Tossed by swirling emotions, lonesome in this life Pretend strife is not visible like a bridegroom & no wife Because the standard is this, a man stands beside the Pit Can’t deny the riff as words of love die on my lips Tried & I tripped, fell over, but never in love’s shadow Tragic, no warm magic surrounded & I lost the battle Dazzled in my own light, not seeing the radiance of One So I traveled alone, not knowing I was only a torch to the Sun Deplored to run and falter, halted but I refrained to see Sought the other half of my soul, but she never came to me Remaining free, but true freedom lies in long hair locks That shimmer with womanhood and who holds a box In her bosom, for me and our union shall never part She will walk beside me and cherish my heart. As the silence from the keyboard dies miserably, Heather Headley croons “In My Mind” as though her soul had dined with ...
