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
I met a man along the road one day I forgot to ask him his name. I must say The words he spoke had significant meaning for me It seemed to be because of the Great Love he had you see I didn't want to leave when the road parted ahead I longed for his love and his touch in the days ahead Hearing of Jesus, God’s Son, from above I now realize who the Man was with his Heavenly Love January 3, 2022 Mark Waldrop
The future may never come. I may never finish today. Eternity is the only certainty. It’s up to me, I must say. How quickly things can change from fun and games, I am crying; why me, I have not reached my aims. If I had only done this, If I had only given a damn Time is running out; I do not know where I am. Would I change things if I could? Would I change, knowing what I know now. The answer is my soul finding eternal peace somehow. Hindsight is perfect for telling what I need to know. Suppose I have a second chance. Will I see the direction to go? Please, God extend my Life and give me a second chance. That I might hear a different tune and dance another dance.

I'm going to try before I die Not knowing the outcome unless I try Try what you might ask I suspect most any task Anything that will improve your life All that will lessen the daily strife No matter the outcome, it's admirable to try With God's help, you will see success before you die January 2, 2023 Mark Waldrop
If I practice what I preach It would be easier to teach If I have God and he is all I need Why do I daily continue to plead I should accept Him in His Word Believing what I have heard He's everything to me; in every situation True belief, no room for speculation I tend to let him walk where I wish Should I include the food in my dish He satisfies every craving of mine If I will only look for His Heavenly sign Thank you, Lord, for fulfilling my every need Teach me through your Sons Love. I no longer have to plead. January 1, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Being a Ham, I have always transmitted varied signal reports Is there so much QRM on my spiritual signal it's challenging to sort What would be the remedy to increase my signal status A better receiver, an amplifier or some other apparatus Being spiritual, I suspect none of the above will be useful Being close to God would be very crucial A 5/9 will come with fellowship with other hams A 20-over will come with a prayer to the Great I Am. Knowing when the propagation is just right For me, it comes with the dawn of morning light Good luck with your distant QSO with God Above Making contact, you won't believe His incredible Love January 1, 2023 Mark Waldrop
The bald lady seems a strange subject for a poem Until you see the toll taken by their life and what chemo has done Once such a beautiful young lady with locks of flowing hair Oh, how life has taken a toll. With much love, she had to share A head without hair in no way hampers The love she shares The glow from the complexion of her face shows how much God cares January 1, 2023 Mark Waldrop The title for this poem was requested this morning because of the ladies he has seen in his retirement center.

Keep your eye on Jesus; that will keep the devil away With the Love of God in your heart, no place for the devil to stay God's love in your heart is the best devil deterrent Being prepared and thinking ahead will repel his shocking currents Whatever you do, remember God is protecting you However, in the end, it's all up to you December 31, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Encourage someone today. It might make the difference between light and dark Giving a desperate soul the much-needed Heavenly spark A spark is all we need to put one foot in front of the other A spark is all we need to lend a hand to an unfortunate brother The spark of love in our hearts, Rendering many races with many starts December 31, 2022 Mark Waldrop
A Legend lasts beyond the sands of time The man, the myth, the legend The more I see, the further I climb My sight becomes more apparent day by day Asking for God's guidance when I pray Bowing my head and thanking God every day For the Grace and Love he has sent my way December 30, 2022 Mark Waldrop
