• Spring

    Spring
    A time
    For renewal
    God’s creation
    Springs back
    To life
    Gone
    Is the harsh
    Unforgiving
    Winter
    Spring time
    Is a type
    For salvation
    We die
    To ourselves
    And are
    Raised up
    To newness
    Of life
    In Christ
    The sweet
    Aroma
    From flowers
    Perfumes the air
    We were
    Spiritually dead
    In our sins
    In Christ
    We were raised
    To life
    Just as He
    Arose
    On the third day

  • Drink and Be Merry

    Ice cold water
    Quenches my thirst
    It’s what I drink first

    I also like
    A glass of iced green tea
    It’s good for me

    Coffee is best
    With caramel creamer
    I like it sweeter

    A glass of cold milk
    Is what I need
    It I love to feed

    Orange juice
    Is nice
    I like it with ice

    Oolong tea
    Is yummy
    It satisfies my tummy

  • Divorce

    My parents divorced
    When I was twelve years old
    It was foretold

    This event
    Caused me pain
    I heard the same sad refrain

    For many nights
    I cried myself to sleep
    The divorce made me weep

    Our nuclear family
    Was no more
    Divorce I do abhor

    It inflicted such
    Lasting mental anguish
    Emotionally I did anguish

    Decades after the divorce
    The pain is still raw
    It was a spiritual flaw

    I pray my parents will reunite
    I ask this every day
    There is nothing more to say

  • A Love From Above

    I had a deep need
    For an everlasting love
    It came from above

    My Lord Jesus Christ
    He died for me
    His love set me free

    Now I am
    Truly loved
    Christ is my beloved

    I was lost
    In despair
    In a spiritual winter

    God’s light
    Shone in
    Christ was my propitiation

    Now I’m happy
    All the time
    So ends my rhyme

  • Severe Mental Illness Is Rough

    I am a prisoner
    Of my broken mind
    Healing is what
    I long to find

    Waves of melancholy
    Wash over me
    I want to be free

    I’ve been sick
    For twenty four years
    I often am in tears

    I severely lack
    Normal energy
    Instead, I have lethargy

    I deal with
    Racing thoughts
    My mind is in knots

    I also have
    Horrific hallucinations
    I daily take my medications

    One fine day
    I will be truly free
    Thanks to the Holy Spirit in me

  • Tattoos & Piercings: A Satanic Practice

    Tattoos and piercings of the flesh are absolutely pagan, demonic, and Satanic! In the Old Testament tattoos and piercings were forbidden. The pagan tribes such as the Philistines used both of these practices. I thank God neither my parents, or sisters, nor I have tattoos. I refuse to marry a girl who has tattoos or piercings!

    Father Gabriele Amorth declared that during exorcisms, the devil repeatedly confesses, through the mouths of the possessed, that anyone who gets a tattoo is his consecrated person and that regardless of what one decides to tattoo, his influence on the life of the tattooed person is real and continuous.

    The tattoo is a true indirect consecration to Satan. Those who get tattoos risk experiencing unspeakable pain, dark and depressive moments, as well as spells and enchantments.

    The tattooed person, therefore, allows the devil to influence them. Many problems with depression, alcoholism, drugs, and more often appear right after getting a tattoo.

    This discourse may be taken lightly by many, unfortunately even by many priests, but the true contradiction is that Anton La Vey, founder of the Church of Satan in America, publicly confesses (in the book Modern Primitives) what has been said, admitting that behind every tattoo (whether it be a flower or a dragon) there is indeed Satanism.

    A priest of Satan is obliged to consecrate himself with a tattoo. However, when you tattoo angels, faces of saints, or images of Jesus or Mary, God is offended twice; this is not a matter to laugh about.

    In many exorcisms, the possessed, conscious during the rite, said they felt a tremendous fire burning right on the skin where they were tattooed. A single tattoo is enough to risk possession disorders, as numerous cases studied by exorcists demonstrate.

    Among other things, tribal tattoos contain the number 666, the number of the Antichrist. So, if you decide to get a tattoo, remember that while man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.

    My advice is not to get any tattoos and if you already have one, not to remove it but to go to an exorcist priest available in the diocese to which you belong and have your tattooed skin blessed.

    Now no one can say: “I didn’t know.” Faith in God is not a game and Satan takes advantage of our ignorance to act upon us. Through the Bible, God is also very clear on this point: “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

  • The Joys of My Youth

    Oh how I miss
    Those halcyon days
    My carefree youth
    When my mind
    Was whole
    A time of
    Innocence
    Before I fathomed
    The cruel depths
    Of evil
    Human depravity
    And degeneracy
    My sisters
    And I
    Played outside
    We did games
    Like Red Rover
    And Hide and Go Seek
    We collected
    Cicada shells
    On trees
    We danced
    Under the sprinkler
    We made
    Mud pies
    We played
    Whiffle ball
    We made up
    Stories
    We laughed
    I will never
    Forget
    Those special
    Days

  • Life With Severe Mental Illness

    I am not crazy
    Nor am I lazy

    I often feel lethargic
    My mind is catastrophic

    I long to walk and play
    All I have is dismay

    I put on Christ’s mind
    True peace I find

    I am mentally ill
    I take many a pill

    Sometimes I have psychosis
    Also, I have a neurosis

    I have delusions
    So far there are no solutions

    Major depression is no joke
    I’m a sad bloke

    My sister Vi lifts my mood
    I improve my attitude

  • Amazing Grace

    God’s sovereign grace
    Can redeem the human race

    In Adam, we all fell
    Satan rang our death knell

    But out of love, Christ came
    It is us who are to blame

    He is our Savior so dear
    He casts out all our fear

    Man is wretched and depraved
    To sin we are enslaved

    But Christ died for our sin
    He was our propitiation

    On the third day He rose
    It is us He chose

    By grace alone through faith alone
    We are saved because Christ did atone

    Through God’s Word, we’re called home
    We need no other tome

  • A Gospel Poem

    Oh what a glorious morn
    When Christ was born

    In a manger, the holy Infant lay
    Resting His body on a bed of hay

    He would reconcile God and man
    Christ followed God the Father’s plan

    He died on the cross at Calvary
    This propitiation set man free

    This was the path that Christ chose
    On the third day, He rose

    He defeated death, Satan, and sin
    In Christ, we win

    He receives all the souls His Father gives
    Christ our Redeemer lives

    So repent and believe in Him so true
    Satan will never deceive you
