Too Much

Asian fat man enjoy to eat unhealthy junk food, hamburger, pizza, fried chicken
How much is too much, you might ask
when How much is too much, you might ask
when I feel uncomfortable performing a task.

Too much of anything is unhealthy for you.
The adage Everything in moderation is so true. 

Even too much of a good thing is not beneficial for you. 
We need to take more time to think things through. 

It's human nature; the more you get, the more you want. 
Controlling your emotions the less likely your decisions will come back to haunt

Calming your soul will relax your body
Making it less likely to have a toddy

The next time you get the urge to acquire more than you need 
Bow your head, and for calmness, plead

Accomplish

Hand writing Accomplishment with marker, concept background
What would I like to accomplish in life
Not being sure, something with much less strife

Looking back, I have accomplished a fair amount 
Looking ahead, there is much to take into account

The next question in front of me
What accomplishments will set me free

Physical ones make me proud to be who I am
Spiritual ones seem to bring me closer to the Great I Am

My thirst is quenched with cool water
My soul is satisfied with a touch from my Father

Both are important to sustain life
One is physical; one is spiritual 
That continues beyond earthly life

The most satisfying accomplishment I have achieved
Is finding God's Son Jesus, in whom I have believed

Don’t stick your nose in my business

Stick your nose in the Bible, not your neighbor's business
For this practice does not bring righteousness 

Cast the first stone if you have done nothing wrong 
For this will not make the spirit of any man strong

The Book of Truth says to Love your neighbor as yourself
That being True, I would not want someone talking about myself

Joh 21:22  Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me." 

I know what to do

I know what to do. Why don't I do it?
I don't do it because I can't chew it.

It seems too complex most of the time
Often confusing my simple mind

Where do I turn, or what should I do
Turn to the One that made me and you

Then you will do what you know you should do
Because God's Son Jesus will walk with you

Check the signs

Crossroad signpost saying this way, that way, the other way concept for lost, confusion or decisions
Check the signs of the trail you're on
Someone before you may have turned them around 
You might find yourself going the long way around

Always take a map with you no matter where you go
With this information the correct direction you will always know

The same can be applied to your spiritual life
God left you a map in the scriptures that will bring less strife

Do not follow the false signs of man
It's only through the scriptures you find you can

Thank you, God, for knowing what's in my future ahead 
Following your scripture, I will have peace on my deathbed
