Spoken Word

Today I am doing something different.  Have you ever seen anyone perform "spoken word"?  Well, this was put on my heart this morning, it is to be read in the format of spoken word, rhytmatic and fun.  I hope you enjoy it.


Have you ever stopped to wonder why
God made the birds to fly.
He made the grass green,
And the air to be unseen
He made the seasons all,
Winter, summer, spring and fall
He created each of us unique,
Some to work and some to speak
He gave us all something sweet,
The nails pierced His son’s hands and feet
For our sins Jesus suffered and bled
A crow of thorns placed upon His head. 
He was crucified so I can live,
His love He did so freely give.

Have you stopped to wonder why,
For you, He did die?
He said, you don’t have to be ideal,
My perfection will live through you with zeal.
So, why are we not sharing God’s news?
Why are we allowing so many to have the blues?
Why don’t we share His promise of a great tomorrow,
Help ease the suffering and sorrow.
He made us for a reason and gave us a charge.
Share the news, live it out large.
He shared this in the great commission,
Charged us all, gave us a mission
In Matthew 28, verse 19 and 20 Jesus said that we were to go
Go make disciples of all nations, so they would know.

Know that All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory
He can take that, He can use your story.
My life isn’t perfect, but I am filled with peace.
How He saved us, brings me to my knees.
Because we fall short, He sacrificed
His son died on the cross, He bled and died.
Sad story?  Yes, that’s true
He did this all just for me and you.
But what is the best part of all this sadness?
He ROSE from the grave to bring us all gladness. 

So lets show our appreciation
Don’t live our lives with only self-motivation
Live to put God first, others second and yourself third
And you will figure out why God gave us that bird.
Why that bird can fly, why the grass is green
God’s wonders were made to be heard and seen.
He created all this for our sake, for our pleasure
So with you, I want to share the wonderful treasure.
Ask God into your heart
And in you, new and wonderful things will start.
Ask Him, the Lord Jesus Christ to come in
He will rid your black heart of sin.
He will make your life transform
Love and peace will be your new norm.

Now, being a Christian isn’t always easy
It isn’t life all sweet and breezy.
I don’t want to lie to you so I will tell you,
The world may hate you, even expel you.
But isn’t it worth it to know that God on High,
The one who made everything and did suffer and die.
Is looking down and saying “well done”
To you, His good and faithful son.

To Do or to Be - that is the question...

“Martha, Martha,” The Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed.   Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10: 41-2 Keeping up with caring for my kids, cleaning, cooking, volunteering, part time work, friendships, volunteering again, and doing special events with my kids, I race around trying to do everything for everyone.   I usually end up failing miserably.   It is inevitable that I will upset someone some time and make someone upset with me, usually about something small.   The devil is in the details.   Have you ever got so caught up in something you forgot to enjoy it?   You get caught up in parenting JUST right, so you forget to enjoy the fun and exciting moments.   You get caught up in rules and regulations or doing good works for the church and forget to enjoy what it is really all about.   Martha had Jesus over- HUGE DEAL!   Can you imagine havi...

The Easter Story with M&Ms

I am preparing for my oldest daughter's school party for Easter.  I was racking my brain trying to figure out a cheap, but awesome party favor to give to everyone.  One of the things that I love about her going to a Christian School is I can do things like this. I looked at all the Easter M&M Poems out there, and didn't really like them, they didn't flow quite right or, which may have bothered me more, they didn't go in the order they set out in the beginning of the poem.  We have a discount grocery store in town and they had large bags of M&Ms on sale for $1.80 so I bought a bunch and will be splitting them up and putting them with this poem that I made up instead.  It is definitely inspired by the Christmas one that is floating around out there and a few of the other Easter ones- so I can't take credit for the creativity of the M W 3 and E idea.... The TRUE Easter story isn't about a bunny - it is about a Salvation - about a Savior that died on the...

predictions...

We were all privileged to see the recent hype about the end of the world coming n May 21 st 2011.   The time came and passed without a rapture, without an earthquake, without a storm…   What were those people thinking and feeling?   This prediction made so many question Christianity and question God in general.   Now there were some good aspects of this prediction.   It got people thinking and talking about salvation and their eternal destiny… and, well, that is all I can think of.   Now lets look at what the non-Christian’s saw: a man, claiming to know the answer, claiming that he was right, who had a following, a way to spread his message and an amazing amount of money which usually makes you right in America.   If you were a non-Christian and you saw this guy talking and then May 21 st came and went, you would either think that Christianity was a crock, or that everything that the Bible says is a lie because his equation came from the Bible. ...
