Can a winner be without a loser or a loser without a winner? Oh my, this could not be very clear for a novice beginner. As life passes by, I soon learn It's more important to know when to take your turn. Not whether I win or lose that is attached to my name. It's the tremendous effort I put into playing the game.

What legacy of mine will I leave? Will it be something big I achieve? Not having to be anything out of the ordinary maybe only something necessary. Sharing and caring could be the most incredible legacy of all, by exclaiming the Love of Jesus and God’s call. Always willing to lend a helping hand. I never turn down an offer to be a friend on demand. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is undoubtedly the most positive thing I can do. Leaving an indelible legacy of this kind will leave an everlasting memory in everyone's mind. March 16, 2023 Mark Waldrop
This old world ain't what it used to be Or at least it seems that way to me Things are made cheaper and cost a lot more It just seemed like it was much better before Groceries have gone up, and medicine is out of sight If I can't pay my electric bill, I may have to read by candlelight What is the answer? No one seems to know Praying to God would seem the only way to go March 15, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Busy is a small word that can mean so much If you are an active person, you have just the right touch If you want something done, it has been said Don't ask an idle person. Ask a busy person instead People who aren't doing anything will do anything at all An active person will accomplish anything you call March 15, 2023 Mark Waldrop

What is a Beacon of Hope? Is it someone you look up to? Is it light in the mist ahead? Is it something you hope to find before your deathbed? Hope gives faith for all to see. Taking a small ray emitting through a lens of love creates a beacon for me. A beacon shines bright in the night With love and light. Guiding your path no matter your plight. When the Beacon of Hope lights your flame using a reflector of love will Glorify His Name. Passing the torch to another along the way would seem to be the best legacy you could leave today.

I have often found it challenging to get a human desire under control No need to name a specific one. There are so many that make me whole Controlling my desire and being content with what I need Where do I find this illusive fulfillment and passion I plead I can't tame my unruly body until I tame my soul God made me that way to give me contentment and make me whole God sacfricsed His Son Jesus to rid me of my sin By accepting His Gift, my soul will become whole again My soul being at peace. My body will follow suit God made the soul and body one that continent may be my attribute Peace within and peace without will bear excellent fruit, no doubt The fueling of this inner peace comes from God's Scriptures swirling about In the scripture, I will find the Truth, the Way, and the Light Seeing these three will put me on the path that is right March 12, 2023 Mark Waldrop
