WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE

 

So where is your treasure?

In a fleeting moment of pleasure!

Do you think you will live forever?

With a screaming heart, and being clever –

Look at your life – look what you have paid,

Then others will spend what you’ve made!

You see nothing is going to last

So it matters not what you will mast!

Life comes down to a simple choice:

Listen to the world or listen to God’s voice –

So where is your treasure?

The days of your life cannot be measured!

“He who believes in Me will live forever –

Study My word – truth you can endeavor!”

THE SOUL OF MAN

Names written on a granted wall,

I can hear their voices call –

I behold your memory in my hand,

O dear patriot – no one can understand

The price you paid for the freedom of all,

If they did, they’d know the soul of man!

A DIVIDED MIND

 

Twenty four seven our minds are fed!

Always telling us what we need –

We are so controlled we cannot think!

The system is based on total greed –

Can you leave home without your phone?

How many Apps do you have?

How many prescriptions are you taking?

Can you wear all of your shoes and clothes?

What happened to your quiet time?

What happened to taking a walk or a nap?

So please tell me: Who owns you?

 

Where is your source for peace?

Can you explain the emptiness in your soul?

Will money or fame fill that void?

So why are you rebelling against God?

Have you forgotten His promises?

“My peace I leave you; my peace I give you.

Not as the world gives do I give to you.”

So who do you choose to listen to?

Do you choose the world over God?

Here is some food for thought:

Cut all of your electronics off for a day!

Go sit under a shade tree then listen to

The quiet voice of God whispering:

“It’s only in Me that you can find peace!”

LETTERS FROM HELL

 

I come every day and sit in my car –

I can see each soldier passing through the gate,

And yes it’s the waiting that I hate!

It’s been two long years since I have seen you,

And I can still remember kissing you goodbye!

They say the war is over, and I pray it’s true!

But I have been so afraid that you would die –

I have read your letters over and over . . .

You were only eighteen when you were drafted,

And in your letters you say you now feel forty!

Lost in a foreign land that seems so far away –

And I pray that this war has not changed you!

I know I don’t know a tenth of the horror –

I could tell you were protecting me from hell!

Time has stood still – it’s now been 3 months,

And today your mother gives me a call –

She said, “Two uniformed soldiers came by”

Her voice was shaking and I could hear her cry –

I fell to the floor – I’m screaming out to God!

Why God! Why God! He was only twenty,

And I have waited so long for his return!

Then the Lord kindly reminded me:

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not

know what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1

A PIECE OF HEAVEN

 

A trip from Murphy to Manteo . . .

It’s 547.5 miles in case you didn’t know –

With Blue Mountains and valley’s green

Sceneries like your eyes have never seen!

So surely you can hear Carolina calling –

For moments your soul has been longing!

Mountains, piedmont, and sandy shores

It’s a quality of life like never before –

Grandfather Mountain is standing tall …

Where you can hear the Red Hawk’s call!

Views are so spectacular for endless miles

Where one’s mind can rest for a while –

A piece of heaven that most don’t know,

“A perfect place on earth you need to go!”

CULTURE OF INSANITY

 

It’s all by plan and design –

They have brainwashed our minds!

Over and over they tell a lie,

And a weak mind never asks why!

It’s on TV so it has to be true –

Indoctrinated into what we can view!

So why should we think for ourselves?

Leave the books on the shelves –

We don’t need a brain – we have a phone

It even tells us how to get home!

Memorizing facts – that’s old school

So to hell with the golden rule!

It’s all by plan and design –

They have brainwashed our minds!
