Finding God
It is not fashionable to say that we talk to The Lord, but that is what we must allow ourselves to do.
His Presence
It is when we acknowledge His presence that we actuate the awareness of His presence. That is to say that God is the initiator and implementer of our noblest behavior. When we cultivate the art of listening for His voice and respond to His guidance, we will be formed and shaped in accordance to His directed will.
When people are able to experience the presence of the Almighty as the constant source of their life, they begin to realize that life is ordained to purpose. Life is never happenstance, however it is often misdirected. Frustration is the result that thwarts our progression when we refuse to follow our inherent awareness of God’s direction for our life.
People appeal for the “will of God” in matters of great importance. Yet too often they fail to understand that God is present in every aspect of daily life. The choices that people make are the building blocks of their relationship with our living Lord. It is in the choices made that we must learn to cooperate with the ever-loving, ever-present Creator.
It is essential to understand that our relationship with God is the ultimate condition of life. It is a condition that is not attainable through study or church attendance. One must simply allow it to be. That is to say that God is fully aware of the details of our lives, when we seek our deepest heartfelt thoughts to direct our choices we will discover the will of the Father.
Following God
A loving Eternal Parent uniquely created us and gave purpose to our lives. The mission in the life of each individual is to fulfill his or her God-given purpose. When this occurs, the peace that passes understanding will permeate their life allowing them to become productive contributors in the plan of Almighty God. All of life is so ordered that each person has been designated to assist with the completion of the plan of God.
Individuals must conform to the thought process that enables them to render assistance to those who are less fortunate than themselves. This is a basic tenant of life. When the thought process is one of self-concern the focus then becomes distorted and one becomes an extension of themselves rather than that of the God they serve. This causes the distortion that is present in their daily life.
God has ordained the way of life and the means to live that way. This is accomplished through the words and actions of his people in the world. It is when we obey our Creator, that we dispel the darkness that permeates the world at large. Our words and thought must be grounded in the spiritual realm if they are to change the course of life.

The Unhappy Man
For year without end he kept his profile,
Thought by so many, to be ‘oh so docile’
Lonely but proud he marched in and out,
Of a Church that he just, couldn’t do without …
Bruised & wounded & broken was he
By a love that was lost & not meant to be?
Would every fair maiden be as horrid as she?
To avail themselves under every green tree?
Was this the end, the journey of his life?
The pain was too much & it cut like a knife
Abandoned & helpless & in this dark night
With nothing but fears for his tears to fight
He wrestled with good & at times with evil
Tried to stay calm & be reasonably civil
With no help in sight & no turnaround
Cried out to the Lord “You anywhere around “??!!!
Oh hallo! Said the Lord all of a sudden!
Do not despair you haven’t been forgotten!
You do have a daughter don’t you, to look after?
So take good care with joy & laughter!
Rise up my Son be better not bitter
For now I plan to make you fitter!
Step out in faith with thy hand a thrust
To sooth & to heal as many as are crushed.
