For many years I tried to walk alone I seemed to stumble over every stone Then one day, a buddy introduced me to a friend of his I suddenly realized what real love is Jesus came into my heart. I took his hand He now gives me the strength to stand in a new land No more years of stumbling or groping in the dark for me His bright light now illuminates the path I see With His Hand in mine, I will forever have the strength to continue the climb March 10. 2023 Mark Waldrop
Sometimes life on this old earth doesn't seem fair The rich get richer the poor get poorer. There is so much unclean air Fairness is a state of the mind Rich or poor, you can't take it with you The only thing that will accompany your trip Is the Love of Jesus that you knew March 10, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Am I headed in the right or wrong direction The path I take and the decision I make can bring me great protection The right or wrong path is left up to me the further I go and what I see Do things seem to be getting better or worse for me There is one rudder that will hold my ship steady on this rough sea Faith in God through His Son Jesus, who died for me March 10, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I want to make a difference in the world before I die Somehow sharing God’s Love with others before I fly Leaving this place a little better than I found it It will make me very Happy, I must admit Showing others the straight path to trod Will lead directly to the Heavenly Throne of God
At the end of the road, you may be surprised at what you will find It may be the most unexpected of any kind It may not be the end as we see it at all It may be the beginning of a distant call Be careful about what you do today It may show up in the end someday March 9, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I enjoy dancing and twirling around Moving to the music, getting down Dancing is primarily for young folks I say The older you get the less you can sway Reminiscing of the dances long ago Renews my spirit wherever I go The last dance is not too far away Not knowing exactly which day If not on the dance floor being only in my mind Having a smile on my face remembering how kind Closing my eyes in cold sleep My last dance will accompany me March 9, 2023 Mark Waldrop
The road seems bumpy at times Hang on it will smooth out Usually, the bumps come before major construction no doubt Paving the road will surely improve the ride Repairing your suspension will help you glide A lot has to do with the road you choose Playing follow the leader you may refuse Taking the road less traveled is the best some say Going the opposite of the multitude may bring you happier days March 9, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Grandpa’s Bible brings a tear to my eye Him holding it close just before he died It traveled many a mile to and from church All around town with souls to search The leather is all worn and tattered now I know in God's eyes it's a Blue Ribbon somehow The smell of his Old Spice on the cover It isn't easy to imagine his life is over From cover to cover, his life shows God's Love I now commit him to his Heavenly Father above March 9, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Grandma's Bible means so much to me I've seen her reading it while drinking tea She read it when the grandkids were born She read it the day Grandpa died early that morn All the congregation sought her chocolate pies at the church social. She always remarked the recipe was with her devotional Thinking nothing of it after she passed away. I was leafing through her Bible one day There it was, the Chocolate Pie recipe. I had to bow my head and pray She's in Heaven now. No more sorrow, no more pain Strolling the streets with Grandpa praising His Name. March 9, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Propagation In the Ham community, it is a common word Refers to the atmospheric conditions that make weak signals heard. Propagation in my spiritual life means something entirely different It's my closeness to God that makes His word most Magnificent Both in Amateur Radio and my Spiritual life propagation increases the signal Both theories, whether earthly or spiritual, are surprisingly very simple One depends on the physical composition of the atmosphere The other depends on the nearness to God; to become very clear. Either way, understanding propagation I can make it work for me To help make the received message better heard and clearer to see March 9. 2023 Mark Waldrop
