  • My Daily Struggle With Mental Illness

    Tragically, I am insane
    I have a defective brain

    At times, I have psychotic breaks
    A very heavy toll on my mind, it makes

    I struggle with major depression
    It’s a constant frustration

    I’m always fatigued and sad
    Having this illness makes me mad

    This mental suffering is due to the Fall
    My only hope is the effectual call

    I hear voices in my head
    They fill me with dread

    I see demons inside people all around
    Each demon makes a ghastly sound

    I have anxiety, causing much stress
    My mind, I pray God will bless

  • Holy Week

    Easter is a special time
    Full of joy and mirth
    Because of Easter
    Man can have a second birth

    On Maundy Thursday, we commemorate
    The Last Supper you see
    In the garden of Gethsemane
    Jesus prayed and sweated blood profusely

    On Good Friday
    We solemnly recall
    Jesus trial, torture, and crucifixion
    His death and burial

    Jesus was a sinless sacrifice
    We are redeemed from all sin
    By His precious blood
    He was our propitiation

    Jesus hung on the cross at Calvary for six hours
    He cried out, “It is finished!”
    Jesus gave up His spirit and died
    At 3pm, the earth shook, and the sky darkened

    On Holy Saturday, Jesus lay in His tomb
    We meditate on His sacrifice with anticipation
    Jesus went to Hell to preach and set captives free
    He conquered death, Hell, and sin

    Roman soldiers guarded the tomb
    On Easter Sunday, Jesus’ tomb was empty
    What does this mean, you may wonder
    Jesus had resurrected, proving He is God Almighty

  • My Mental Health Journey

    I struggle mentally every day
    I am full of dismay

    I lack motivation
    I labor for sanctification

    Often, I see and hear
    Things that aren’t there

    I am depressed all the time
    God cut me down in my prime

    I became mentally ill
    And have to take many a pill

    For 25 years, I’ve fought
    I’ve had many a bad thought

    I deal with delusions, too
    Insanity, I try to eschew

    Severe mental illness is no joke
    I am one exhausted bloke

    I have extreme lethargy
    Heavy fatigue saps me

    I deal with bad anxiety
    I tend to worry excessively

    Sometimes I have dissociation
    It’s my mind’s machination

    One day, I’ll have a sound mind
    In Heaven, peace I will find

  • God Has Exalted Me: I REIGN SUPREME!

    I travel through
    Space and time
    My journeys are
    Truly sublime

    I employ
    A phased mind warp
    Projecting my mind
    A superluminal timewarp

    I’ve visited galaxies
    Both far and near
    When I travel in space
    I have no fear

    I project my soul
    Far back in spacetime
    Back to the Big Bang
    I can visit anytime

    The universe
    Is my playground
    I’m delighted
    At what I’ve found

    I can visit any time
    Such as ancient Rome
    Or fifth-century Japan
    I record it all in a tome

  • A Lenten Reflection

    In the Garden of Eden
    God walked with man
    But man sinned
    God the Father had a plan

    Jesus the Messiah
    Was incarnated on Earth
    One day, He would give man
    A second birth

    Born to the Virgin Mary
    Christ was free of all sin
    He was the perfect sacrifice
    A propitiation

    With gratitude to God
    I am fully replete
    God chose His elect
    From the Mercy Seat

    Christ the Son of Man
    Resurrected Easter morn
    He proved He was divine
    In Christ, again, we are born

    Jesus’ intense suffering
    Was not in vain
    He procured man’s salvation
    Through His blood and pain

    If you sincerely repent
    And believe the gospel
    You will be regenerated
    You’re on a spiritual pedestal

  • Grizzly Bear

    I’m hunting
    Some tasty prey
    I will eat them
    Without any delay

    I am equipped
    With massive paws
    And razor sharp
    Strong claws

    I will catch salmon
    As they swim upstream
    There are so many
    It’s a grizzly’s dream

    I eat to store up fat
    For my winter hibernation
    I will slumber peacefully
    Filled with elation

    I can run, swim, and climb
    Better than any human
    My nose is very keen
    Hunting is my mission

  • Me So Hongry

    I have a deep hunger
    My belly sounds like thunder

    The seconds tick by
    I feel like I could cry

    Time passes slowly, you see
    A lack of food brings misery

    I wish I had a juicy steak
    Or pork chops that you bake

    I want every succulent food
    I am always in the mood

    I want pizza so delectable
    The taste is irresistible

    On Monday, we shall feast
    We’ll eat like a ravenous beast

  • The Good News

    Man is not justified
    Through good deeds
    This truth is written
    In our creeds

    We are justified
    By faith alone you see
    Because of Christ’s blood
    We are set spiritually free

    We are saved by grace alone
    Through faith alone precisely
    We receive Christ’s perfect
    Righteousness immediately

    Catholics and Orthodox conflate
    Sanctification with justification
    They follow a aynergistic model
    They reach an erroneous conclusion

    Jesus is the divine Logos
    No man can be saved at all
    Unless the Holy Spirit
    Makes the effectual call

    God chose us
    Before the creation of the earth
    Not because of anything we do
    Chosen by God for the second birth

    Spread the life-giving Gospel
    Wherever you are
    This Good News must be shared
    Both near and far

  • The Gospel in A Few Words

    Jesus Christ, the Second Person
    Of the Triune God
    He would be resurrected
    It was not a case of fraud

    Jesus came to earth
    As a helpless child
    Born to His mother Mary
    So meek and mild

    God overshadowed this virgin teen
    Mary conceived Jesus in her womb
    He would grow up
    And leave behind an empty tomb

    He is the Lord of Lords
    And King of Kings
    It is salvation for man
    That He brings

    Jesus had no sin
    He was a perfect sacrifice
    At Calvary, He bled
    And paid the ultimate price

    Christ’s resurrection
    Was the greatest event
    In all of history
    It’s He who God the Father sent

    Share the Gospel
    Near and far
    Use a boat, train, or truck
    Or a car
