Gone is the day, woe is to me, the opportunites lost
Lost is the chance to surrender to him that cleanses all
Awash in the guilt still, no peace today
Make plans if you will, but by his will it may never come to pass
By his grace we breathe our first and last
Through his will we are able still
Squander not the opportunities !!!

Sometimes I Cry
Sometimes I cry, inconsolably, not sure why.
Sometimes I feel anger, so much it scares me
Sometimes I worry this will all overtake me.
Most nights I can't sleep because I wrestle with the dreams
Sometimes I wonder how God could ever forgive me for the things I've done
Sometimes the burdens get too heavy
Sometimes I fall down and wonder if I'll ever get back up
Almost always I find myself in a spiritual fight, the enemy is always cruel and cunning.
Almost always I pray myself to sleep....
Sometimes I just cry...
Sometimes I feel anger, so much it scares me
Sometimes I worry this will all overtake me.
Most nights I can't sleep because I wrestle with the dreams
Sometimes I wonder how God could ever forgive me for the things I've done
Sometimes the burdens get too heavy
Sometimes I fall down and wonder if I'll ever get back up
Almost always I find myself in a spiritual fight, the enemy is always cruel and cunning.
Almost always I pray myself to sleep....
Sometimes I just cry...

No one is Perfect
How easy it is to dismiss the notion that; "we are only human" or that "no one is perfect". Just another legalistic lie. Satan is subtle in his notion that we should not begin to believe for one minute we are better than anyone else, after all we are only human and you can't expect a miracle overnight, right?
True be told, which Satan does not provide, we are better than that, "miracles" or "blessings" do happen and guess who is not providing them, yep the guy with the pearly white teeth an slimy handshake, good ol Mr. In-Between, (we will get to why I call him that).
No longer should you dismiss any inaction or failure to the notion as we are only human and no one is perfect because they are both lies. We are not merely human, maybe in form, but not in spirit, and the notion that no one is perfect is just a lie because we know that God is perfect and he is real and a part of our everyday lives.
Mr. In-Between lives on Procrastination Street in the town of Doubt and Deceit. Keeping all that live there and their many cousins in turmoil. Doubting whether to believe anything they read, see or experience. We live in a sinful world after all, right? No...
Being stuck between a hard place and a rock is just that, Hell is a hard place left to hardheaded people who refused to see, while the rock is the rock that was cast aside, imperfect, but cleansed and purified made into the cornerstone. Falling between these two choice is all you have, but choose wisely your decision will last an eternity.

Constantly Attack...
Ever feel like the weight of the world is falling on your shoulders? Like everything is going wrong, no matter how small or large the matter?
You aren't alone, we are constantly being bombarded with subversive messages through out the day, whether in the media or on the radio. Seems the more distracted we become the more distance there is between us and God. Although the computer aids us with many aspects of work, it replaces the functions of face to face communication and letter writing.
Once we become de-sensitized to speaking to one another, and loosing faith in the written word, Satan is painting an abstract vision for many to follow or believe is real, in other words he is manipulating many into believing what we see on television or read in the paper or on the computer to be slanted away from the truth.
In addition to all this we loose valuable time with our families and time spent with the Lord. Instead of the computer being a tool it becomes a function or extension of needs. I am calling on God for re-enforcements and know there are more of us then there are of them.
I am asking anyone who reads this to do the same and to take control of this and devote one less hour a day to media, computers and radio. Take that time and invest it in time with God in prayer. May God bless us all.
