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.

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

Daily Bread

I have a dog.  He is cute , but he is still a dog.  That means that he is reliant on me.  He likes me no matter what, If I am not around him, he flips out a little and has anxiety.  If others try to claim him or take care of him when I'm not around, he growls and barks at them.  My dog's name is Spike .  He is a Yorkie.  I promised my husband if he got me a girlie dog, I would name it something masculine so he wouldn't have to go outside and yell fru fru when calling our dog.  Spike knows that I take care of him.  He knows that my husband and I are the two that take care of him the most.  The kids try to play with him and he runs to us with the toys.  The kids try to take him out and he only comes back when one of us calls him.  He knows our voice and respects our voice.  He also is needy.  Like he relies on us to take him outside to do his business and to feed him and give him water.  Spike will let us know ...

The longest route...

There is no easy way around it, sometimes I take the hardest possible route to get anywhere.   During our re-make of our house, I purchase bar stools.   Our counter island is tall and so I measured t – it was 36 inches from the ground.   Therefore I purchased 29 inch bar stools thinking they would be perfect…   And they would have been had I measured from the ground to the trim that lines the bottom of the 36”.   In reality, I had 29” to play with and the stools that I purchased were tight against the lip under the island.   I put one together and realized my folly.   Looking on-line, I didn’t find any more that were comparable to the price I had paid and the style that I wanted but were only 24” tall.   When my husband came home, we decided to put the other three stools together and just deal with them.   On Sunday morning, before church, my husband took the bar stools outside and proceeded to cut 5” off each leg to make us 24” bar stool...
