Memories

Memories
What purpose?
Some painful
Some pleasant
Even a few instructive
Some just a flash in the night
Still they shape you
Mold you into something
Sometimes not pleasant
Gray hairs the evidence
Of painful lessons long completed
So Easy to look behind
Regretful heart the remnants
Looking forward to heavenly bliss

SHOWNOTES

Advice for those struggling in this Christmas season? [01:55]
• If this season is not the best time of year for you and if its one of those years where you’re like, I absolutely hate the holiday season. You should get someone around you that can keep you going and also help you refocus.

Even Moses needed help to stay strong when he was guiding the children of Israel. [02:12]

• Just as Moses needed physical help to hold up is hands when leading the children of Israel. We ourselves need help from different persons at times when we feel low in spirit.

Frightening statistics about the Christmas season. [03:18]
• Statistics show that the most suicide occur during the Christmas season.

Second advice to keep you through the Christmas holiday. [03:36]

I’m Not Ready for Christmas

m not ready for Christmas
for the glam and commercial gleam
for the smells of baking pumpkin pies
for the fake santa at the mall

I’m not ready for Christmas
for Carolers in the cold awaiting hot chocolate bliss
for candy canes and silver lanes aglow
For cold Egg Nog with just a touch of nutmeg

All this means nothing to me.
throw it out with all the used wrapping paper

Christmas is just a birthday without candles and flair
I’ll celebrate it in my own way

6 simple words

Happy Birthday Jesus  I love you

Angels on Watch

See him hanging high on a tree
Powerless it seems
Defeated beaten and alone

I and my legion on watch above
Waiting for his distress call
We’ll step in and bear him home

I can’t take it anymore Lord let me loose,
And I’ll slay your enemies I’ll make them pay
They hurt your son how can that not hurt you

Why do you sit there Lord looking away
Its your son hanging on that tree
Why do you let this continue

As his life neared ii’s end
I and my host hung our heads in defeat
We’ve lost its plain to see

Was this really your plan Lord
To let him die in vain

Suddenly he lifted his thorm crowned head
With eyes that pierced the souls of men
With one final breath he screamed
“It is finished!” and gave up his spirit

Just then the order came
“Go and Rend the veil
Now I dwell with men”

Finally my host and I understand
Old things have become new
Jesus is the sacrificed lamb
