My Journey

On my journey through this old world of sin
I'm getting mighty tired. Will it ever end

Heading on Home to a restful place with no fear
The closer I get, the louder His whisper in my ear

Come on Home to rest with no end 
With Joy and peace, you can't comprehend 

Take my hand and remove this worldly pain
I only have God's Wonderous Glory to gain

Thank you, Jesus, for walking with me all these years 
Its time to walk home with You where there are no tears

Thank you, God, for sending your Son
For this worldly race, I will have won

Where does the truth lie

Where does the honest truth lie
Will I find the answer before I die

The truth may be under the ground 
If someone has died before they could expound

It's easy to find the truth on both sides
The absolute truth in the middle seems to hide

The unequivocal  truth in the future will rear its head
It could very well be after we’re dead

I don’t know much





I don't know much about the Bible I see a lot about Jesus
I've found Him down by the creek where he takes time to visit us

A friend of mine showing the way
I can't thank him enough today
The Love that came over me, there are not enough words that I can say

Once Jesus came into my heart reading the Bible came easy for me
There was something inside that made the scriptures clear to see

Thank You, God, for making me and sending your Son Jesus to set me free

Have I  met myself

Have I taken the time to meet myself
Only rushing by with my mind on a shelf

Do I take life seriously or look at it hysterically

What is the difference between happy and sad
Is it the same as being glad or mad

Who knows what my mind will conjure 
up next
Will it be something evil or something good found in my text

Do I have an inner compass that points to who knows where
Had I instead looked you in the eye and laughed, cried, or swear

The confusion seems to be the basis of my thoughts 
I heard from my past what God has wrought 

The answer to my curious mind 
Hoping to find it before I do the crime

Sacrifice

What is the meaning of this word Sacrifice 
It means giving up something I have worked for all your life

If it were easy to give up, it would be no Sacrifive
Sacrifice brings great Hope and Love to my life

With great Hope and Love the work of the Holy Spirit can begin
The start of my path with Jesus forever being one with Him

Cassandra Gilbert   

              “Cassie”

I know a young Ladie named Cassie.
She is a real Blessing for all to see.

She Loves Gymnastics and performs very well.
Her meets are almost perfect. I do tell.

Her persistence in practice shows in the light
astounding the judges with all of her might.

The calmness and poise she possesses
comes from the inner strength that she caresses.

What lies ahead, we are not to know.
The Olympic Team may be in the show.

Berkeley Ford

My visit to Berkeley Ford was a most pleasant experience
Everyone I met had great confidence 

From sales to service
No one there made me nervous

The greeting on the phone was most unexpected. 
A greeting with It's a Wonderful Day is rarely detected 

I would recommend anyone looking for a Ford Dealership 
 You only need to make one trip

Upon leaving the dealership today
Cassidy, Kerrie, and Darcy were helpful in every way
