It was a dusty day
my friend Jesus came to play
We ran and ran and played so hard
We sat down to rest in the yard
We went down by the creek where it was cool
Only to find one deep pool
I could not swim
I was afraid what my friend might do today
He cried look at me ! Look at me !
As he took a step on the water and walked away from me
I shouldn’t be afraid
I’d seen him do many things I couldn’t explain
When he was near i felt love and peace
That would never cease
I will always remember those days we played
Down by the creek where Jesus prayed.

God loves us so much
Even when we’re wrong
He will turn us around
And give us a new song
Setting us on the right path
As we travel all day long
Looking back
He was with us
All along
Covid 19 has come and gone
Maybe not for very long
Should You get
Moderna, Pfizer or J&J
That’s not for me to say
I trust God’s hand in all that I do
I suspect this should be that way too

I played in the hills with Jesus when he was just a lad
We ran and played and talked about his Dad
He would look at the birds, the stars, and fish
And shout with glee
Look at what Dad has made for me
We would grow tired and thirsty and go to the well
He would say Drink of this water to quench your thirst
Look at what Dad has made for me
I did not understand but he was so kind and loving. He touched my heart
I never forgot what he would say
Look at what Dad has made for me
As time passed on and we grew older and further apart
He always remained in my heart
Then one day the news came the Romans had Crucified him
For what reason I could not imagine
He was such a kind and gentle lad
My heart was broken. I cried and cried all-day
Then I heard a gentle voice say.
Do not be sorrowful for he will be with you today
What this means I did not know
I only remembered the boy I loved so
I went to the well to quench my thirst
There was an unfamiliar soul
I was afraid at first
Then he said.
Don’t you remember me
Look at what my Dad has made for me
I cried dear Jesus I love you so
We walked and talked
Then he had to go
Now I am happy and have Peace within
Because I know my Dear Jesus lives again

GOD has me writing poems
This is the first one
Mark Waldrop
I’m just a Kentucky country boy. Nothing more, nothing less.
The only difference I Have is Christ living inside me.
I accepted Christ at the young age of 6 at home in my mother’s lap.
I guess my parents saw I was under conviction. They called our Pastor, Reverend Raymond Ward. They didn’t want to take a chance on waiting till Sunday.
There was no doubt that the love of Christ came into my heart.
He has always been with me, but I have not always walked with him.
I always, as a kid, loved radios and taking them apart. Thus my interest developed in Amateur Radio. My mentor was my Uncle Hansford Scott W4NGZ.
Having been born into a Funeral Home Family
I was carrying flowers at an early age for my father. Not interested in the funeral business, I pursued another career.
Developing a love for airplanes watching Sky King and Penny on the Shy King Show
I decided to choose an aviation career.
After receiving my private pilot’s license during my senior year in high school, I chose to attend
Arizona State University majoring in Aeronautical Technology,
After graduating, being employed by Boeing or Lockheed.
My father was trying to operate his small Funeral Business back home in Kentucky, plus operate an ambulance service by himself.
My conscience told me I should help him.
I have been in the Funeral Business ever since.
There have been many ups and downs, but Jesus leveled them all.
To put a long story short.
Suppose you could see where Jesus brought me from to where I am today. You would know why I love Him so much and want to serve him every day.
I am currently going through a spiritual revival through the mentorship of the devoted members of the Bible Fellowship Net on 80 meters.
I pray everyone can find the living Christ I have found that provides eternal life and more abundant life here on earth.
Joshua 1:5
No one can stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Knowing I was going to be in an HOA when I retired to South Carolina from Arizona.
I gave my radio equipment to the local ham club for any youngsters needing help.
If my testimony is too long.
Drop everything except the first and last paragraphs.
Thanks

I don’t have a Ham Shack or radio room
I have an Icom 7300 and an ALS 600 on a Craftsman Tool Cart behind my recliner.
Have you ever been through a Hurricane
That seems Mightier than GOD
Praying every second
That your family's lives might be spared
The roof blows off
The walls cave in
Leaving our soles bared
Sounds like a train going through
Leaving us so scared
Then it’s over
The silence and calm
Looking around
It seems we’ve been hit by a bomb
We can only lookup
And give thanks to The LORD
That HE spared us HIS SWORD

I heard of a Man named John
He was sent from GOD above
He was to pave the way for GOD’S son JESUS
To show more of GOD’s LOVE
His birth was a MIRACLE
Proclaimed by the ANGELS on high
He was filled with the HOLY SPIRIT
By GOD from the very beginning
So that his life on earth
Would be Soul Winning
He performed many MIRACLES
To show the GLORY of GOD
Only to lead the path
Of the ONLY SON OF GOD

CHRIST in you, transforms you into a Winner
HE Wins HIS Victories through you
HE works through you to touch the sick and help the needy
He loves others through you
I went to my first session of Rehab today
I didn’t know what to expect
I was anxious anyway
I was greeted by Maria
She had a smile on their face
She seemed to be full of Grace
I was escorted into a room
And was told this would not hurt
I was still concerned and very alert
Then a nice young lady
Explained everything as we went
It seemed to help me relax a bit
After the session was over
I understood what she meant
I felt it had been time well spent
I can’t thank Kim enough
Because she was remarkably easy
I never felt the slightest bit queasy
They are Angels
I’m sure it’s true
Because of the kind of work they do
