Am I content with the worldly possessions given me Am I continually looking for more to make me feel free Contentment comes not from worldly possessions Contentment comes from the heart within, relieving me of my obsessions Only the Peace that comes when I whisper his name will relieve me of my shame Listening and following Jesus will surely ignite my internal flame Thank you, God, for the contentment you gave By sending Your Son Jesus, loosening the chains from the grave December 4, 2023 Mark Waldrop

It brings memories of being last selected for most ball teams I pretended it didn't Matter, but it shattered my dreams.

That's the only requirement to pass the test Being on God's team is undoubtedly the best He never picks last and always gives you time to rest You're always a winner if you listen to the Coach You will always look at life with a new approach December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Memory is a physical attribute each person has We learn to nurture and cultivate it with all that we have Good memories, we try to retain, the bad, not so much It isn't easy to hold on to something we cannot touch Our memories will fade away one day No more to be Relying only on God’s love will set us free December 3, 2022 Mark Waldrop Penned for my friends Doc Holiday & Dr. Harold Kraybill
Grief seems more profound than the deepest ocean and the most expansive sea. Oh, help me, Loving God, to get through the grief sent to me.

Our animal friends have never started a war on earth Men have always created them from their very birth Men always want more and more That's the basic concept of all war There will be no end until their life comes to a conclusion Then it seems to be passed on with much confusion The total end to all war Will only come when man exists no more December 2, 2022 Mark Waldrop
The one thing that has been constant through the ages The sweat of the brow and continual wages From the beginning of time, the wages of sin have been earthly death Sin remains with us until we gasp our last breath Thank God our spiritual bodies are not the same We will live forever if we accept His Holy name God knew best from the very beginning He knew death from sin would be our end God sent His Son Jesus to die for you and me That we might forever be set eternally free We can't imagine the unconditional Love of our God Giving us unimaginable peace through this life we trod December 2, 2022 Mark Waldrop
