There once was a leader named Frist
Who allowed nominees to be dissed
Don't give "Sheets" a pass
Start kicking Dem ass
Or the gist is that Frist won't be missed..

Where To Look

Read:
Romans 8:35-39

Let us run . . . , looking unto Jesus. -Hebrews 12:1-2

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 10-12

Let's see. What is the crisis of the day? It could be terrorism and its random threat. Or the economy and the fear that we will run out of money before we run out of time. Maybe it's a personal crisis with no foreseeable solution-a tragedy or a failure too great to bear.

Before we fall under the weight of our accumulated fears, we would do well to look back to a 20th-century woman who bore sadness, pain, and heartache with grace.

Corrie ten Boom lived through the hellish life of Nazi concentration camps-a place where hope was lost for most people. She survived to tell her story of unfaltering faith and tight-fisted hope in God.

She saw the face of evil up close and personal. She saw some of the most inhumane acts man can do to man. And when she came out of it all, she said this: "If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest."

Where are you looking? Are you focusing on the world and its dangers? Are you gazing at yourself, hoping to find your own answers? Or are you looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith? (Hebrews 12:1-2). In an uncertain world, we must keep looking to Him. -Dave Branon

Looking to Jesus, my spirit is blest,
The world is in turmoil, in Him I have rest;
The sea of my life around me may roar,
When I look to Jesus, I hear it no more. -Anon.

When your world is falling apart, trust Jesus to hold it together.

Beauty Lasts

There is a place in memory, where beauty takes a stand,
Forever to remain there, in that enchanted land.
An image of unagingness, perenially bright,
A glow of youth and beauty set against the fall of night.

These memories are shared between the lover and his love,
And nothing of them changes, though the heavens wheel above.
She always will be youthful, with a smile sweet and demure,
And he remembers beauty, and it stays forever pure.

Though fashions have their changes, and her hair is now of white,
And his vision has surrendered to a constant one of night,
She still remains for him the alabastered gem,
And her beauty lasts forever, in a world of only them.

Very Nice. I felt inspired on personal level. So I wrote this.



My Love

To me, she is a gift from God,
I’m glad He sent her here.
She lights my life and gives me hope,
With her I have no fear.
I treat her like a treasure trove,
So rich her love makes me.
She treats me like I am a king,
Her love has set me free.
I’ll never question God’s dear grace,
I thank Him every day.
With all His blessings and her love,
I’ll will not lose my way.
