Going Home 

Have you ever been so far from home
that your heart ached deep inside?
No matter which way you turned or looked you felt like you had died.

The longing to return home took over your thoughts. 
You felt like every fiber of your body was tired in knots. 

There was only one remedy that you could see. 
 Heading home to fill the emptiness in me.

Our souls inside, feel the same longing to return home. 
It confuses us for we know not from where they come. 

Once we find where the longing soul calls home.
We have peace within, never more to roam.

Captain of My Soul 

Captain Hank Fallek WA3KK
If I'm the captain of where to sail my soul
Should it behoove me to research where I should go

Should I check weather of the path I take
Or should I leave it to happenstance and then it would be too late

An unexpected storm may not drown my soul
But it will surely leave the old ship and the Captain less than whole

For a safe passage no matter where you sail
Consult the Master, to keep you safe from any Gail

 THE GAME

I like a good game
I don’t know why

I enjoy being on the winning team
So I don’t have to cry

The game of life is like that too
If you win you will feel good all through

There is only one way to win 
That is accept JESUS within

When all of life swirls about you
Your calmness within will suffice you

And HE will be there to rejoice in your strife
And you will win the game of life

Pauline’s

There was a place, 627 Clay Street in Bowling Green Kentucky. 
Your dad would take you there on your birthday if you were lucky. 

A stately brick house. Well manicured and kept. 
Rumored a place where many a boy and business man slept. 

If you came by, the milk can was on the street
You just kept on walking with your two feet

In the blink of an eye the can was on the porch. 
For six dollars you could go in and light your torch. 

No kinder or most gracious lady could ever be found. 
Her heart was made of pure gold giving much to the town. 

Coats needed at the local elementary school. 
She didn’t hesitate a minute to obey the golden rule. 

The local officials all left Pauline alone. 
They were most afraid their names would become known. 

For the many years she serviced the town. 
The towns people let her wear her Glorious Crown. 

What have you been doing 

What have you been doing today 
Running all around every which way

Are you happy with what you’ve done
Or could have a better course run

There is a way to change your life
That will bring you much less strife

The key is the one that made you
He sent his son to save you

If you take him into your heart
He will give you a fresh start 

Your life will be like new
With Jesus guiding you

Circumcision

The topic of circumcision is unusual, I must say
Studying it in my Bible Fellowship Class today

It was a practice of religious law a long time ago
Being expected to be performed by tradition, you know

Today there is an entirely different set of circumstances
The reason most often being, to take no health chances

If you have an inquiry concerning the practice of circumcision
Consulting with your health professional, he will answer any question

Secure in our Faith 

Some are secure in their Faith 
They get a glimpse of GOD
They feel his Saving Grace

We don’t have a clue what lies ahead
Wonderful gifts HE has planned for us
Even Our Daily Bread

The Riches in Glory is far too great
For if we get close enough, we will see our fate

It is  only when we approach HIS FACE
HE is revealed through his LOVE and GRACE

Through The Ages 

It’s all been out there through the Ages
If only when We Believe in HIM and Trust

It’s all been out there for the Healing
If Only Our Faith We Trust

GOD’S Love is out there through the Ages
If in HIS SON We will only Trust and Obey

GOD’S Wisdom and Glory will be with us
If only We Ask and Believe

HE will walk with Us through Eternity 
If only we ask and receive

GOD is So Great and So Good
HE will Never be Understood
