Capacity- A Poem of Desire

Break in like a storm on my soul
Shatter my puffed up imaginations
Destroy this house of vanity
Lay to waste every impurity

Your softest breath is a cyclone
Your loving-kindness is a hurricane
I must bow down
as you rush over me
sweeping your banner over me
in a canopy of union

Come in, Great King
may your dwelling be this heart,
Flooded, and unable to contain
YOU.

WHICH WAY IS YOUR WHOLE HEART TAKING YOUR WHOLE MAN?

There are activities in our lives in which we all are involved that we do with our whole heart.

The question is - Do they involve the Lord Jesus Christ or are they in pursuit of the world and its goods?

"Half heart is no heart." - Charles Spurgeon

"The way which the whole heart goes the whole man goes..." - Matthew Henry

"He whose whole heart cries to God will never rise from the throne of grace without a blessing." - Adam Clarke

Tammy, my friend, my cousin, my sister

She was my friend and my cousin too

We shared many memories some good some blue

We laughed we cried and fought over a man or two

But we always had that bond forever and true

She never was one to stay in just one place

She chased after rainbows with determination on her face

She moved around but always had time to call

To see how I was doing and send her love to us all

Then one day she told me the news

She only had two years left and her… Continue

For Daddy

For Daddy

You carried me before I could walk

You encouraged me to learn to talk

You guide me right every day

And correct me strongly along my way

You seem strong as a mountain when I walk by your side

My little steps struggle to keep up with your stride

It amazes me how you are never afraid

You confident, heroic, and brave

I have yet to see you cry or be sad

And you seldom ever show it when you are mad

So how do you do it, how do you… Continue

In the Eyes of a Child

In the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child

I am but just a little one

All things I do not know

If you help we can have some fun

While you watch me grow

Try to be patient mom and dad

For I don't mean to make you mad

Remember I am learning yet

And I am far from wise

You'll understand more I bet

If you see it through your child's eyes

If you look hard you can surely see

What the world looks like to… Continue

God's Child

God's Child

I lost myself long ago, now I'm found and now I know

I know deception, I've felt rejection

I know hurt, I know pain

How warm the sun, how cold the rain

I know fun and laughter too

I've even met love a time or two

I've seen the miracle of life before my eyes

I've seen it taken away, I learned good-bye

I've seen an angels love in my children's smiles,

My daughter walks through my dreams though we parted awhile

I've turned to… Continue

Living an Apologetic Life

As I have recently been into apologetics and learning how to more effectively give a defense of my faith i have learned much. In listening to a debate the other day on the evidence for existence of god A christian asked a question during the Q and A time in which he stated it isn't about evidence but faith just faith. It is this attitude that is the reason for much of the way the world views us. We have the best most reliable evidence and compared to the next best scenario offered there is not… Continue

THE SIN BEARING MESSIAH

ISAIAH53:3-6

3. HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN. A MAN OF SORROWS AND AQUAINTED WITH GRIEF. AND WE HID AS IT WERE, OUR FACES FROM HIM: HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE DID NOT ESTEEM HIM.

4. SURELY HE HAS BOURNE OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS; YET WE ESTEEMED HIM STRICKEN. SMITTEN BY GOD, AND AFFLICTED.

5. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

6. ALL WE LIKE… Continue

Courage?

I've walked in that valley, so cold and so dim.

I've lost touch with reality never to be found again,

I've been blinded by love only to get deceived,

I've made wrong choices, I didn't want to believe.

I've been lost to this world, and the pain it can cause

Only to have my heart broken, and my soul lost.

Then I found a gift, given many years ago,

One I had forgotten, from some one I didn't know,

It showed me the way to ease my pain,

The gift showed me… Continue

I want to ask you why

This poem is written for my son Austin, who may not live older than 9 or 10, he is three now and has a brain degenerative disorder. It hurts to know I may not have my precious baby forever, but I am very thankful for the time we have had and do have. I pray every day for a miracle

I want to ask you why, but I know it's not your doing

I want to scream and cry, but what good will it do him

I don't normally like to beg,… Continue

The Day Heaven Opened up

She sat in shock while the case worker accused

Discussing drug usage and physical abuse

What was happening, why were they here

She never used drugs, or abused the babies she held so dear

A few short days later the children were loaded up

Taken from the one person they loved so much

The woman reached out and she started to cry

Then to plead and beg with tears in her eyes

She fell to her knees as they left the drive

Feeling her babies as… Continue

For Batman, my Unlikely Angel

Sometimes God's love shines in the strangest place,

Sometimes his strength comes from a most helpless face,

When times are hard and life is rough,

It's hard to find the courage to embrace God's love.

But when you look you'll begin to understand,

That he looks out for you when you need a hand

You'll find peace in a gift from him,

And you might find yourself healing from within.

I recently experienced what God… Continue

christian roots

Dear Editor:

We need to get back our Christian Roots. One night, I was praying for our country and I felt like God put something on my heart that I want to share with the people in Sumter. In April our president gave a speech in Turkey that America is not a Christian nation, but I have disagrees. Many people came to America so they could worship God. The history books that I have read have said that our forefathers often prayed for decisions that they made. Our forefathers were deeply… Continue

Blue Laws

Dear Editor,

My name is Robin Sherman. On July 5, I read the article in The Item about the Blue Laws. The city council wants to do away with the Blue Laws. I think the blue laws should in place.

One reason why Blue Laws be should kept in place so people can rest and ready for the next working week. Now, people are saying they earn more money if work and that is true. There is a phrase the verse in 2 Samuel 2:30 that says, “Those who honor me, I honor.” In the bible Sabbath Rest… Continue
