Ever been a coach? Trying to get others to excel. By teaching them perseverance, they will do well The person you are coaching holds the illusive key Without desire from the mind and heart, they will never see A good coach seeks the desire of the heart first Finding that the mind and body will never thirst A word of encouragement will go a long way Reaching the distant goal at the end of the day Never never, never give up is what a successful coach will say Traveling this path will produce the desired prize not far away Through time sweat, and tears that may have come my way All being worth the effort to enjoy the completeness I feel today January 29, 2023 Mark Waldrop

I was shackled by time I was shackled by sin I was shackled from within Each day finding no way to win I was shackled by my friends No encouragement from my kin Then crying out, please God unshackle me An incredible peace came in I could not see I fell to my knees in great surprise Streams of tears flowing from my eyes Hearing of God and what he had done for others Years ago, I heard of Jesus from my Mother Never in a million years thought he would have time for me Now Praising and thanking Him every day on bended knee 2Ti 2:9Â Â for which I am suffering even to the point of being shackled like a criminal. But God's word is not shackled. January 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
