Where the winds blow, I seem to drift along Not giving a thought, always singing a song Making the best wherever I might land On the plains or a sea by the sand Happiness comes from my heart within Not from surroundings I find myself in October 24, 2023 MarkWaldrop
We are born to die physically in this world of sin Only for my spirit to live eternal by inviting Jesus in As my body grows weak and weary, my spirit grows eternally strong I bow my head and Praise Him forever and forever, all day long October 24, 3023 MarkWaldrop
Let Thy Holy Spirit, pure and free, Dwell in me, a temple, let it be. A sanctuary, a haven for grace, In Your presence, I find my rightful place. Guide my steps through darkness and light, In Your presence, I find strength and might. AMEN, I pray, with a heart sincere, May Your love and spirit always be near.

The Living Waters that flow through me Bring ripples of kindness for others to see The abundance of the water reaches deep into my soul Quenching my thirst and forever making me whole The freshness of the water I cannot explain Bathing my soul like a warm, summer rain Unexplained Love flowing through my soul Not understanding how He Loves Me so Bowing my head, submitting my heart to Him Constantly offering Thanks over and over again October 23, 2023 MarkWaldrop
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term Believe me, it's embarrassing, to say the least When they call you on the carpet and say you're not invited to the next feast I didn't think what I did was that bad Hard times hit and I was dead broke They said what I did was no joke They passed the offering plate and I made change. I put in a five and took out a twenty I thought that would be a plenty I felt the Lord was okay with that considering the situation I was in The Deacons said I had committed a great sin. Since none of them didn't offer to help I saw an opportunity to feed my whelp Well they still parading to church in their fancy clothes I'm Worshiping God on the park bench Only the Lord knows. I'm thankful for what I got. Seems like I got more than they will ever see Worldy things you can't take with you to the grave believe me What I got will last through death The Love of God is the very best October 23, 2023 MarkWaldrop

An Ethiopian Legend of many Centuries ago Tells of a strange bean and where it does grow It has been traced to the ancient Coffee Forest on the Ethiopian Plateau Goat herder Kaldi noticed the goats, after eating, exhibited quite a show Becoming anxious and did not sleep at night Causing the Goat Herder Kaldi quite a fright Kali reported his concerns to the Abbott of the Local Monastery The Abbott made a tea that kept him from becoming quite weary Accrediting this to the discovery of the Coffee Bean of today Drinking many cups of a morning makes me anxious all day October 22, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Give bees a chance and let them do their thing Without pollination, we would not have many things The Queen Bee has an internal desire To carry out her work as God requires Cut down on pollution and pesticides That in this world bees may reside God created Bees to continue His Creation For that very reason, we are under a great obligation October 22, 2023 MarkWaldrop
There are many sounds of Freedom ringing in my ears today The thunderous sounds of jet engines as they fly away The sounds of peace calm my fears Sounds are welcome music to my ears Sounds of Heavenly Music that enter my soul Hearing the Golden Bells of Heaven as they toll All of these wondrous sounds set me free Knowing that God's Love forever lives in me October 21, 2023 MarkWaldrop
