Where the rubber meets the road Where your shoe leather meets the road Finding Jesus; He will lighten your load He will guide you on a righteous path Providing a glorious way with less strife Traveling toward the end of your goal Your life will become gloriously whole January 8, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Isn't it funny how time slips away Early on, interested in fun things every day The most significant event in my life was Christmas Pressing my ear on the frosty window pane only to listen I would always fall asleep waiting for Rudolph and Santa Being tucked snugly in by my bed, by my Nanna The adolescent years brought many temptations Getting into mischief once t thought I saw satin Reaching young adulthood, deciding to further my education Hard labor seemed to me like total devastation I Squandered my money on girls and cars Everywhere I looked I only saw colorful stars The time came to hunker down. I was the King and wore a crown Suddenly I was no more a King raising a family and trying not to drown Money is the only thing on my mind Most of the time, I was not very kind Living from vacation to vacation With not enough time Seemingly not getting ahead by not even a dime The older I became, the more life’s toll Took hold of me It made me ask if there is more than this to see My father died. My mother not far behind Was my successful life only in my mind Taking time to ponder on my life, I began to cry Will someone please show me before I die Not sure why there was such an incredible change Everything was brighter; nothing looked the same Having joy in my heart, looking forward to every minute of the day My family said, Dad, what happened? You are much happier today. I did not have an honest answer until I heard God sent His son To walk with me until my earthly race is won I bow my head and thank Him every day For not giving up on me and showing me the way January 7, 2023 Mark Waldrop
If you choose to turn on the road to a new life Don't be surprised by some pitfalls and strife At birth, I was created somewhat equal As time passed by, my life became a sequel Choosing to whip my ole body into shape Pains and roadblocks I could not escape Many choices of eating patterns and qualified coaches The most important is my desire as the goal approaches It's funny looking back how time slips away My weight will follow the same path if I focus and pray January 6, 2023 Mark Waldrop Inspired by my friend Jim Hollis
Anything is possible through prayer with Jesus by my side Finding faith coming to life when to God I cried How does one have this faith, you might ask? I am praying to God to reveal my daily tasks. Asking for Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding He will give to all, our soul ever-expanding Believing in His will is what you ask for, I must say He will answer your prayers and draw you closer to Him every day This gift from God we can never explain Only bowing out heads and thanking Him again and again January 6, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Global Warming is a prominent idea we have these days Many opinions put our confused minds in a foggy haze Turn left, turn right, look up, look down. Many ideas abound Where does the actual truth lie? Will I find it before I die? Jesus said I am the truth and light. The answer may be keeping Him in sight. January 6, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Crimson Red, the color of the blood flowing from my Savior's side. His mother, in her broken heart, could feel her son had died. As she wept, asking God why did this happen today? God whispered to Mary, He has not gone away. She did not understand when the Angel first brought the news. She only knew putting her Faith in God, she would choose. Her son would not only return again He could live in the soul of all men. Mary in faith, taking God at His Word, Truly believing in her heart, all she had heard. The piece that passeth all understanding calmed her fears. The news of His resurrection wiped away her anguished tears. God's plan unfolding, revealing the justification for her Sons birth Mary bowed her head, thanking God for His Great Worth. January 5, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Migration is movement from one place to another to make a new home As I roam from place to place, I feel the calling of home Not sure where it is or where I will be I know in my heart my new home is waiting for me Roaming through green pastures Clawing my way through briars I can only follow the path my heart and soul desires When I break through the dense forest, what do I see I fall to my knees and thank God for the Mansion He has made for me January 5, 2023 Mark Waldrop
When Jesus called the Disciples, they weren't reading the scripture or learning more about Him. They were going about their business. Their future seemed relatively dim. When they heard The Masters Voice, follow me. In an instant, their life changed. They received a glimpse of Eternity. Becoming close enough to Jesus to hear his call to me I put everything aside and bowed my head, exclaiming now I see Take my hand and show me the way. My life turned upside down that Glorious Day. No matter where I go or what I say my soul is content in every way When he touched me, there was no other choice except He leads the way Daily surrendering my all to show His Love again and again every day.

I try to do things my way. I want to be in charge When I manipulate others, It makes me feel so large Finding my way on this road is to no travail Continuing to travel along leads me straight to hell Making a u-turn changing my way to God’s way Realizing with his life and blood, for my sins, He did pay Giving me the freedom to merge my way with his The only perfect Heavenly road that's what the Bible says. January 4, 2023 Mark Waldrop
The stormy seas of life will come and bring much strife. I pray God guides me through them with faith beyond this life. Having Faith In God brings His Peace, Grace, Mercy, and Love. Far more significant than anything on this earth, sent from above. The question of the ages is, how do I make this connection with God? The answer is so simple, walking with His Son Jesus along the path I trod. January 4, 2023 Mark Waldrop
