How can I capture the beauty?
How can I capture the smell?
How can I capture the spirit?
How can I capture the experience?
How can I capture the love?
God’s love surrounds and hugs a 2 acre, heavily treed, small island.
I went back to recover something lost in my past.
The tears stream down swollen eyes.
I refuse to wipe them until it becomes unbearable.
Pleasure, pain and anguish are captured in those tears for a reason.
The reason shared in God’s presence.
I was surrounded by God’s love that day, that week and forever more.

What of life? What of death?
Can we face the fact we are going to die?
Where is the insight? We cannot last~
Only in someone else’s memory.
What happens when there is no one to remember?
Are we unheard, like the tree in the forest?
Can we please celebrate the victory~
Without the constant reminder of defeat?
We cannot because of our sin
It becomes an endless battle, an endless defeat.
You cannot celebrate victory in a sea of sin, immortality and deceit.
We can never find peace without our Lord and Saviour.
His death is misunderstood, His death is not really comprehended.
God’s Love, the Sacrifice of His Son
Who but Christ would willingly be crucified?
No one else. He is the One!
The One you need to talk to about your death.
I asked, I prayed for God’s help
Is this the answer?
My pain and death?
I hope and pray
Can’t stop crying, so much pain watching the world:
People suffering in the streets,
Nations’ Leaders with their lies and deceit,
The persecution of Christ’s people,
Then escape watching my own tapes,
I truly cannot imagine the pain
If someone in them dies…
It hurts so much, my wife, my family, my old friends,
I have to stop watching
Another time ~ there was so much joy in my life
This life now in pain, yet my spirit now lives
Though I die, Alive in the Lord
Faith a gift of the Holy Spirit
The Joy of Jesus Christ
I have Victory in a world of sin and hate
I could have been so much better
If before I had eagerly sought the Lord
I am so very sorry, please forgive me!
In my defeat lies my death
In Jesus my Life and Victory

Do you like wiping away tears?
I hate to
They stream down your face for a reason
The lines of your face dictate where they will go
Where they will end up
Feel their decent
Should you not feel their weight?
I do not wipe away tears in God’s presence
For the tears flow and carve out meaning
I only wipe them when someone else enters
A quick, “I’m ok”, is enough to suffice
In God’s presence I try
To let the wind slowly dry
Away the sorrow
This life has to offer
To the weak and unrighteous;
Sorrow, pain and hell
To the believers; love
A love that will not let sin over take us
Pray for those that will not believe,
Rejoice that we are the chosen ones
God choose us
All we have to do is choose Him

The winds of change are near.
An aging warrior, under house arrest will have his shackles tightened.
No reason to fear. No reason to run.
The Holy Spirit shadows the winds of change, unnoticed.
The influence can overcome.
All you have to do is clear your mind the best you can.
Clear all the evil you can, turn it over to Jesus, the Son,
and in the silence the Holy Spirit will fill your fear, your dread, your very soul with the Light of our Father.
Jesus did not run and cower, He submitted to the Father.
After the gift of the Holy Spirit, the disciples did not cower and in their souls, they could not run away from the truth.
The Holy Spirit is Love.
Everyone can deny the truth, but no one can deny Love.
Love dissipates hate, love conquers all.
The Lord loved us enough to give us the Kingdom of Heaven; us, present with Him.
The Father is Love.
Pray for those that cannot comprehend
Jesus is God’s Love.
