Peaceful Update

For those of you who know, I love to write. I have been writing now for over 10 years. Poems, poetry, philosophy, political, spiritual and many other prose. I have kept an online blog for 4 years. Before that I have kept a journal and still do to this day. I have received good feedback from a few people. I appreciate all those who take time out to read what I write. There are many issues going on the world today and most importantly there is a war going on for your mind and your soul can too easily become compromised in today's day and age. I will be posting more things in the days and weeks to come. What I want to say to people is never let yourself be taken over by the glitz and glamor of this world. All material things will fade so it's important to depend and build your hopes on eternal things. Also keep in mind that the media you see on TV is only half the truth maybe less. The Bible encourages you to test all things in light of Scripture and hold fast to the good. I beleive that goes for both spiritual and political matters. Don't get caught up with the hype of popular media likewise don't be fooled by prosperity teachers who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. Please understand that one day all of this will be over and you will account for your time spent here. Are you living just for the moment or do you live for substance? Take care friends and social media poppers. I pray you find peace, meaning and understanding in life.

Peace like a River

In memory of Dea. Clifford Rhetta

God sees fit to call his strong soldiers home. One I know in particular always had a song in his heart and a smile on his face. You never know how a person has touched your life until there gone. Sometimes all you can do is just recall those moments thay brought you joy and long for the moment you can see them again. Yes, sorrow encompasses your world view for a while but you stil hold on and strong for everyone. I can understand the reason for a life and a death. I know everything that has a beginning has an end. Through the end of a body's existence a soul is released and made back to a spirit. That spirit then returns to the source. This source is God. The author and finisher of our faith. I know not everyone believes in God. Some people don't even recognize His existence. This entry is not to make a beleiver out of anyone, this is just to express a feeling. We go one day from an "is" to a "was." What happens in the moment, I don't know yet. I imagine it would be serene like floating above a high mountain, riding a cloud to the top. Maybe it's better than any accolade you could ever accomplish here on earth. One thing I do know is that this man from the time I knew him until the time he passed on, he always had peace like a river in his soul. Now that same peace is in paradise, walking rhe streets of gold without a care in the world. The ultimate serenity has been reached by the man who had joy like a fountain. Springing up to the sky with all life, now he is singing with the angels above. Finally, his love like an ocean will now be a never ending sea of bliss and clarity. Our Maker has called him home to be at peace, to be at joy and to be at love in spirirt.
