Either our Commander in chief is totally out of touch with mainstream America or he really does not care. Anyways, there is no excuse for rewarding bad behaviour and punishing good behavior.

Faith is embracing the reality of God in the deepest part of my soul, having that reality as a hope and an anchor for my soul.

Summer Night
Have you ever felt the dark of a summer night as it kissed your skin with its balmy, sticky heat?
As you walk under a canopy of stars have you ever felt the night wrap itself around you with its thick, heavy arms that pulls you in to its chest only to let you go so you can run away though the night air only to be caught again.
Have you ever felt the summer moon staring down at you, and when you look up to return the stare he hurries behind a cloud leaving you looking at a silver outlined cloud concealing the king of the nightime world.
Excuse me, have you ever felt the dark of a summer night?

What is a father?
What is a father?
A father is that man that a son looks up to.
The man that the son someday wants to be as he looks on with young eyes full of admiration and wonder at this amazing man that can do anything and seems to fear nothing in this world. Yes, this is what a father is to the young boy growing up who sees his father as invincible and unshakable, and capable of doing any task put before him.
A father is who a son looks to for protection.
As a child realizes the dangers of life, he looks for a place of refuge, a safe place. A father’s arms is that place where the child feels safe and protected from the perils of life.
A father is a source of unconditional love.
In a world that can be cold and indifferent, a fathers unconditional love is a constant that a child can depend upon. Though others may fail us, though friends walk away, though all the world be against us, a father’s love still remains.
A father represents our Heavenly Father
As we have been created in His image, and are His offspring, I believe that our earthly father’s love bears the image of our Heavenly Father’s love.

Poem of a Poem
I set out to write a poem
A verse from the depths of my soul
Something that would touch hearts
That would not be too droll
But I realized, empty I was
Dry as a drought
Empty with nothing to say
Robbed of my poems by the trifles of life
So I decided to write a poem about a poem
Not a rhyming poem, an obscure poem that reeks of nonsensical words
Nonsensical words and poor poetry and grammar
A poem about a poem that was, that is, but really is not
A poem from a person who should be sleeping, but is not
A poem for all of my fellow struggling poets, who are lacking inspiration for poems
Yet, within them still burns the fire to write
So I say, write anyways, forget inspiration, just write and let the words fall where they may

Poems and such
On this blog, you will find poems,inspirational tidbits, and works of fiction that I am working on. Come back and visit often, I will try to keep adding poems and adding to my stories. Feel free to comment on the poems and books in process.
Faith
Our faith in God is not just a mental or emotional ascent of a belief in God, but is a supernatural occurance that is birthed by the living word of God. Faith is the reality of God stamped on our spirit and spreading through our soul, creating conviction and confidence in our God.
in reference to:"1Now faith is the (A)assurance of things (B)hoped for, the conviction of (C)things not seen. 2For by it the (D)men of old (E)gained approval. 3By faith we understand that the (F)worlds were prepared (G)by the word of God, so that what is seen (H)was not made out of things which are visible."

Being faithful in a world that is unfaithful
It does seem like we are faced with many challenges that tempt and pressure us to act contrary to our faith, and I think this is the rub, to go against those inclinations and submit to Christ anyways. I must admit I often fail in that, but I am learning, and leaning on the mercy of our Lord. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saves a wretch like me.
in reference to:"“Now you work it out in your life, and be faithful to Me, even though the nature of everything around you is to cause you to be unfaithful.”"
