Standing upon that hill he told us it would be revelatory. Not some sudden comprehension of knowledge or compendium of information, transforming us into a new version of man, but a true remaking in the Spiritual image of God. I already had God’s form and likeness but my soul, having suffered the damage effect of sin, was ready for the rebirth into something closer to God’s essence. Upon that hill people cried and tried desperately to grasp a mystery that even regales the angels. I struggle for them but when confronted with the peaceful appeal of God’s Spirit it was then, and only then that I understood the mystery of God’s intention for humanity, salvation, re-creation, eternity.

I don’t know what it was like to be in the presence of Jesus the Man, but I know the awesome undoing of my soul each time I kneel before that Throne. It is a fearful thing to have access to the Throne-room of Almighty God. But this comes with it a comfort of belonging, not arrogantly, but knowing that this is your Father’s Dwelling, Daddy’s Office of worship, praise and power. I don’t just worship a bed of straw or a hopeful effigy upon the mantle to bring good hope, blessing and bountiful crop. I want Jesus, because He is all those things that man could not be without Him. Blessings are nice but doubt, trial, sacrifice, struggle, pain and overcoming are the true blessings in this life as we journey onward to the next. Without the problems I would have no solution and that bountiful access to God’s provision gives me ample supply to deal with and overcome all of the difficulties, challenges and seeming impossibilities of this lifetime.

It is perhaps perceivably challenging to walk through life in belief without some visual, audible or physical evidence of God’s presence among us. That I believe is the exact reason we have counseled to walk by Faith and Not By Sight, for in that belief without subsequent evidence two things are revealed. First that faith is something with which God is pleased and increases through honoring its difficult presence. And second that our senses are not the best or only register of the evidence for God’s existence. What we may only consider real with out mortal senses may only be real simply within this mortal plain. What transcends mortality and expands beyond the reach of our carnal reality must be perceived, measured and followed with the acuity only provided through senses which are no longer limited by mortal construct. We being born again may now perceive evidence beyond the boundaries of carnal thinking, Things of Spirit, which are only comprehended through those senses of Spirit.

Thus the piteous struggle of thinking man, in seated ponderance. Born to contemplate the highest thinking, feeling and believing it is the potency that divides man from lesser cousin, he is left outside absent the tools to conceive those thoughts which are extra dimensional. it is as in the irony of surrender to the Lord’s Will in order to find fulfillment and abundance. The counter intuitive nature of this puzzle confounds the thinking man’s logic to the point of escaping ignorance and denial. To find those realities and thoughts beyond mortality, I must give up that mortality and become reborn in Christ Jesus. They may not be perceived through mortal means. This is the nature of their mortal struggle and it breaks one’s heart to see them so.

Lord come to the aid of men who really want to know and are willing to humble themselves before you to find out. I am sorry for those who will not take this available moment to reach beyond the limits of death and carnal capacity to expand their horizons to the reaches of universe and beyond. Lord, I may not have had the glorious pleasure of sitting upon that hill listening to your words directly, but I have perhaps greater Spiritual Experience of Writing them upon my heart each day. You are my world and the world beyond this world. I praise you and thank you for all that you continue to give. In Faith and Belief I welcome the challenge of finishing this mortal examination.  Thank you Jesus, in Your Name I pray.

This is My America. I hope that many of you share this view, but it is important at the outset to my understanding of what it means to be an American that I state emphatically, you are allowed to have differing opinion on this an every other matter. America is an agreement to disagree and still come back to the table to put in place actions, defenses, mechanisms and policies that promote the greater good of America. Without that agreement we are hopelessly detached from the land of our solidity, having no immovable object to which we may adhere our vessels of enterprise.

We began out of oppression, yet did a fair amount of our own in building this nation. So, we understand what it means to be on the receiving and the delivering end of tyranny and subjugation. Men, came for Freedom. Freedom from and Freedom to. Freedom from the oppression, restraining and spirit quenching hand of empire. In our instance from history the British Empire, but you can pick any Empire throughout history and you will see those men like U.S. yearning for that Freedom from their oppressors. For that Freedom you need Space, that frontier into which you may build something outside the control and observation of that oppressive station. In this space you may observe the Freedom to Worship, your God, in the way that you see is appropriate for your family. These rights were historically throttled or controlled by the Empire, who itself named itself the god of its citizens, demanding worship, taxes and homage. America promised the Freedom to worship the Lord our God free from the Organized Empire of Religious Pronouncements coming from Capital cities like Rome. We were not rebellious but were forced to rebel in our belief of the Lord Jesus Christ, that they called reformation, because it caused them to develop new levels of law and cruelty to maintain ordered thought. We called it Emancipation from the controlling hand of an overwhelming Empire that called itself Holy but was really a mass conglomerate of Religious Tyrants having usurped the Proper functions of the Church to legislate for their own increase. If you don’t believe this look what they did to the first one of their own who questioned these practices, Martin Luther.

In America we found that Freedom to be a man or woman of our own desire and purpose absent the controls, labels and constricting/cast influences of family, blood line or fiscal importance. We not only found that freedom from our own historical confinement but found the Freedom TO: become something of our own doing, establishing an identity consistent with our own free thought, intention and effort. We now had the Freedom To do something with our lives that had nothing to do with what we had been conformed to perform. We as Americans had the Space in which to follow our own ideas into destiny’s hand and become or not become whatever we could achieve. That nature, that inspiration lit aflame the minds of hopeful men across the globe, seeking the opportunity to see where their road to a bright future would take them. They had now found the Freedom To; Worship, struggle, build, plant and harvest the profitability of God’s blessings upon them in a way that they alone could look back and proclaim, “I did something worth doing”. This Freedom to aspire, dream and achieve made America the greatest place in history for the individual. This individual concept once thought as a barrier to collective living, was in itself the master component in making America the concept into America the Reality. For men understood the oppressive hand of tyranny upon their own lives and therefore desperately undertook personal efforts to make sure that they didn’t enforce their own brand of tyranny upon their neighbor’s dream. We agreed to disagree, and somehow this understanding sponsored a collective understanding of agreement that confounded the wise and birthed a nation of people launched upon personal endeavor with the Freedom to commit themselves to protecting those same rights for everyone. Certainly we have failed along the way and any of our failures may consistently be traced back to practices associated with tyrannical oppression of Empire whether their’s or our own it always leads to same outcome.

So we found men, men of notable understanding and means, demonstrating their own capacity to work hard and deliver for themselves and the community around them. We didn’t check allegiances, perhaps as well as we should have believing in our naivete that they were of the right character and position to deliver U.S. a framework for this Nation that would live with this new ideal of Freedom From and Freedom To live as a unique people in all the world. These men knew that it must be based upon something outside of Men’s capacity to control the world around him, for historically the same “men” had always done the same thing in corralling and leveraging the people within their protection to enrich themselves, leading to eventual and absolute tyranny. I don’t care which nation you are from you will find this truth in all of our histories. These men knew that the only power and authority outside of man’s control to prostitute is the Sovereign Authority of Almighty God. So they knew at the outset that this nation in order to survive must be constructed upon the Rock of Ages a foundation that is immutable to the greedy mind and hand of man.

We were warned what would happen if we ever wandered away from the path of this protection by God’s authority. We were told what it would need to maintain a Sovereign Constitutional Republic. We were warned of the need for vigilance, maintenance and refreshing thought to keep it on plan. The problem is while we were so used to be warned those who were in charge of publishing that warning were conspired by the powers and principalities of Empire to change the message. See they couldn’t delete the message, No then we would have seen through the deceptive nature of their service to self and the fallen.  They had to practice the deception of misdirection and slowly but surely turning the temperature up on the unsuspecting Frog until the truth of circumstance was itself beyond avoidance. They told U.S. that God is dead and that now we were inclined to believe that we had been crafted by the hands of time and chance through the DNA lineage to Apes. They enticed U.S. with that desire to live as free men only this time the deception was so complete it stole from U.S. the mechanism that employed our Freedom From and Freedom To, it set us free from the controlling influences of God’s Sovereign Authority upon which our own Freedom is based leaving U.S. in freefall without landing, upon the crashing waves with no place left to moor our ship. This deception left U.S. without the identity that preserved U.S. our lineage and patronage to God the Father for the preservation of Rights inalienable that could only be taken by His Hand. We had forgotten too, God’s Nature, that Free Will is the basis that governs all offers of Grace and Benevolence. We could also choose to give up our rights through lack of vigilance, diligence or walking away from the very Supernatural Path that protected U.S. in the Armor of Almighty God.

The Question is not if this is right or wrong for even those who seek to argue do not argue this point they seek to find some consolation in their own timidity. The seek solace from their own willing or complicit choices in serving the downfall from Freedom Of and Freedom To by having chosen evolutionism, Confusionism, Altruism, Communism or any other ISM over the Sovereign Immovable Truth of God’s Sovereign Love for mankind that solely supported the character and pursuits of this Just Nation.  They seek to argue that there is no God which in itself is admission to the previous and acceptance of defeat. For this nation to succeed, for our Freedom’s to maintain we must acknowledge that these Freedom’s cannot exist outside of the mandate of an Unchanging God. So that having been determined we are now left we what we to do about this deceptive transformation or transmogrification of our collective identity as Free American’s? We are no longer upon the path that reason dictates leads to the only place where we might be safe to pursue our Freedom From and Freedom To. What then shall we do to either right our course or abandon that position of victory for all time?  You claim I am being dramatic yet even this day we stand against enemies seeking to take away the America we’ve founded all our ideas of Freedom upon without even a fight for that nation.

What shall we do? Whatever is the prudent path? It is so simple yet it still evades you in complexity? That is because you have so abandoned the origins of your discernment that you cannot even imagine the idea of discernment. If all blessings come from God and God’s provision of protection and authority was the basis that the founders believed was the only sufficient platform to produce a set of Freedom’s and Rights that was immovable, untouchable, inalienable by the hands of historical or future Empire and tyranny. The answer is so simple it hurts U.S. all to hear it. We must return our faith in purpose and the gratefulness to God for being the Sole Provider of our Hope, whether mortal or eternal. We as a nation, America, were formed by God’s Love and the idea that we need no King But God to govern U.S. That requires, demands and instructs U.S. that to survive we must understand God’s perspective, His Moral Authority and His demands of what it means to live a righteous life as members of His Kingdom.

This is My America, I hope that it is Yours as well, because if it isn’t we are doomed to perish in the pages of coming history as the nation that had all the Freedom From and Freedom to but lost the understanding of from whence those Blessings came and therefore Lost it all, not only the blessings but the relationship, security and identity that once made it all possible.

One idea that needs no defense. It requires nothing from me but gives me everything. It is meek yet irresistible, honorific and humble, both tempered and flexible in winter’s challenging breeze. I did not let it become but it became me. There is no argument but love, from which all must retreat absent adequate pulse. This dream is the dance within her the song at the top of his lungs and the word within a child’s pen. There is only time enough to see its realization in glimpses captured and locked within regret’s passing. To have truly been, never fading from the filling breath of Life.

It is courage, conscience and understanding in identity’s prize. The roots of the willing language of heart, dawn and intangible reason. Today passes and still it needs nothing. Outside within, lost and found, dawn and dark, it is all things, in all things, with them in clarity, purpose and design. Needs no reminder to recall no temporary shirt though there are those who will flirt or skirt the edge of acclaim, none arrive in struggle. This is not purchase but bought with the deepest change, the priceless gift of nexus. Unique as the snow at dawn’s early wind. Precious.

Do not seek conquest or sanctuary for it is the capturing fire of intention. The cause for which each man aspires, inspires and transpires. Fires of Heart and pulsing madness of anger’s rage, captured in the fragile expanse of hope. We are God’s Dream, made real to inflame history with pen and ink of our passing that others might find reason, purpose and opportunity. This song, this making, this tinkering joy may bring glory in short measure to given name but its spark is meant for greater grasp as tongue eternal ember.

Who are we? What do we stand for and by that stand immediately stand against? Where are we going, and can we get there from where we are? Will we have to have a sizable reconfiguration of our collective intelligence to find that path? How do we retrain or gather the cooperative opinions of our future leader’s America’s youth? What must be banned in the short term to guard from repeated, further external erosive componentry? How do we limit insurgents from entering the country or inserting themselves within the Public foundations of America? Do we still have a national motto and what is it? Will we allow people to make millions of dollars on sports, entertainment or corporate events then utilize that marketing position to downspeak America or dance upon our values, so to say? Are there limits to free speech or must we tolerate the worst of the worst to protect the best from tarnishing? What are our dreams as a Country? Do we foresee a positive outcome in a future where all Americans are part of the successes? Is that future as a Capitalist Nation or will we succumb to some hybrid socialists format eventually leading to full blown collectivism? What do we tell our children about the founding of America, how do we break there hearts about the Coup that is occurring or counsel them that it never happens again? What do we do about the Universities as they are hotbeds of ethical, relativist, progressive, rebellious thinking? Should we reign in those who are highly critical of our government or perhaps entertain having them in the public square that their ideas may be dismissed or accepted? What are most afraid of, that some idea will be voted into acceptance above our own? What is great about America? Are we a fragile people or an ideal that is easily defended and defensible? How often do we send our military abroad and what is the nature and limitation upon our cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies both public and private? Do we require that all immigrants learn English and sign an unavoidable allegiance document that they will abide by our laws, respect our customs and remain productive members of society for a certain amount of years or surrender their opportunity at remaining? Do we take in all comers as the Statue of Liberty declares or have we reached a limit in America. If there are armed insurgencies or armies on our borders that are not under the control of our neighboring country does Congress immediately declare war upon them that the President may have the authority to protect our borders? Have we planned for a surprise attack by a major player in the world military and industrial market? Are citizens prepared in the event of any crisis of eventuality that they might not be left stranded to their own care in any event? Do we dissolve Washington D.C. for being a sham invented Capital of the United States Corporation, run by Roman Law to circumvent the will of the People? Do we allow this federal government to again have their own lands? How big should this government get based upon the amount of people in the country, what controls do we have set in place that it never exceeds that envelope? Who controls our money if not the federal government? How do we as citizens have a transparency group that serves our rights and protects us from the Government concealing what it thinks it needs to conceal without input from the People? Do we have a volunteer Corps of Americans with clearances who can see all materials and determine what must be shared with Americans? What do we do about starving people around the world? Do we allow other countries to simply mistreat their people, is that somehow our responsibility? Do we need the United Nations and for what purpose? Should they be upon our shores and what authority may they possess that supercedes the Rights of the American People if any? Should multinational Corporations, think tanks, Public Academic programs be setting policy for this nation? What are the limits that should be placed upon foreign cooperation in the determination of our government standing? Should Universities be disciplined if they breed insurrection against the United States? How are professors provided the breath and freedom of thought to build thinkers but also comply to the strict requirements for anti seditious behavior? Can this be controlled or is it simply a battle of Civil Activism and dollars? When are the lands owned by our government going to be turned over to the People as they have always been our property? How are we going to be assured of some governance over AI technologies that is currently being left to Quazi Governmental Hybrid Multi National Corporations and Billionaire dollars to pursue? Do we need to rewrite our documents to include a new American Pledge or understanding that they might be less easily penetrated? Who should make these determinations and how. Is the Q component an answer to future insurrection in America that someone anonymous within the administration will alway rise up to defend this nation even when infiltrators have effectively taken ground among U.S.? Where to next?

Yes there are mysteries, but contentment is only found in what you have before you. In search of mysteries you will witness the spectacular but miss the wink of a child’s eye or the loving hand of your wife upon your own. Do not quest for the stars and forget the good Earth around you, the struggle is sometimes the most stupendous scene available. If you are hungry you will be fed, but if you are insatiable nothing may console you. The wondrous desire to see the ends of the world will leave you wondering why you hadn’t gone further into the unknown. The greatest gifts are right beside you and there in your heart.

The universe is endless and beyond that void with no end you find God waiting with explanation of things we currently are incapable. This road is the one we travel, not the skylines of Mars or the harsh winds of Jupiter, but the cold breeze of winter’s calling right now. What then is so boring about making this life the best that it can become? What is so tragic that being blessed with children to carry on interrupts some personal quest for consequence and self evolution? What is so magical outside the yard that disappears each time we go around the fence to inspect it?

There is a place that is right for a man and man that is right for that place. Those with that singular understanding of what must be sacrificed to find the new worlds are not discontent with this life but fated to find the pathways to the next. However, their price is astronomical, in the contentment of family, friends and consistency lost. It is much greater thing for a man or woman to build from the gifts given early in the game, that they might produce 10 fold or 100 fold return on that original investment. Not all men are made for seeding, many are designed to feed, weed and sustain in preparation for harvest. The task is in determining your rightful place in God’s design. Are you looking, Are you asking Him, Are you willing to accept the answer even if it isn’t what you hoped and dreamt about?

Being Comfortable is all about contentment with the Right Here, the Right Now and understanding that everything changes, including the raging heart of man’s desire to discover the reaches of this world.  With what persimmon look do you review your corner of the sky? Or do you look upon today and thank the Lord for everything, good, bad and difficult with Joyful expectation of God’s Knowledge? I love you and pray for you peace on this day of Thanksgiving that briefly reminds us of what we should be in daily contemplation, the Grace and Mercy of Almighty God upon us all. In Jesus’ Name may you be filled with Peace and Contentment throughout the year.

If God demanded that we accept Grace and spend eternity by His Side would we? If He required our love and worship and set a tight regimen for us to pray at certain times per day would we love Him? If He remained distant, appeared only a threat against that day of judgment would we be in relationship with Him? If there were no changes in this lifetime, sanctification or transformation would we place all our hope and faith in that hereafter? What if there were no way for us to get rid of our sin, would we invent reincarnation that we might somehow at some distant lifetime become free from its curse? How do you believe the Jews are feeling since they have not been able to be free from sin since 70AD at the destruction of the Temple? Life could be much more difficult than it is. God loves you and gives you the choice to love Him Back. He provided the pathway to redemption and an end to the war between Him and Man, but it is all by choice, for that is the only place to find Truth, Trust and Love.

What have we invented to govern the people in our societies? Utopian dreams, nightmares of an angry, distant God or millions of gods in every leaf, tree or building? What have we carved from wood, stone or gold to sit on our mantle, at the doorway or in the garden to remind us that we are not alone and that some manner of fortune connects to the spiritual realm? To what have we given our children as offering for prosperity and posterity? What cruel rituals have we endorsed to set ourselves free from the curses of humanity in a world that seems fickle and unfair? What dark things occur nightly as obeisance to those in shadow for the quest of power and relevance?

There are only two schools; those who need God or gods and those who don’t. Within the school of those believing that there is a higher power there are those who humanize, demonize or fantasize about gods and there are those who have heard the Word of God and feel compelled to be obedient to those guidelines of the law and the prophets telling the story of what God has written. Someone has to be wrong. For those who do not need God I would ask them to investigate for a moment the motivations in this life and perhaps they will recognize themselves as the god of this lifetime. We all serve it is merely a question of the Matter; the who or what that we serve. In which camp are you? Someone will be fooled and someone right at the end of this play called humanity. I bet you think it is going to be you?

God intervened on behalf of men as we chose a road that led to destruction and self or service to the fallen. There was a chasm we could not cross that led back to God and Christ provided His Life as sacrifice to become the bridge that led back to Righteous Standing with God. God loves us so much that He leaves that door open to ALL who wish to be redeemed, by belief in His offer of Mercy and Grace. For it is in the choice that man can truly determine the nature of His acceptance and Love. That does not free us from the eventuality of God’s outcome, for it will come regardless of what we choose. It is just a treasure to know that God loves us enough to provide the way and allow us to choose that way or our own way. In Jesus Name I walk this path redeemed to my Creator and free from Sin, Death and Hades. Grateful.

Know the stars at the center of your universe. Even as child, restful in the ideas and dreams that drove you through life’s passages. Were you clear, resolute, decided and sure about the things that made up matter and mattered most to your heart? Was life certain, defined, established and sensible in all its frailty such that doubt never encroached upon that determination? Never shaky, always sound, lashed to rail with no pitch or yaw.

Isn’t it a journey for just that reason, because in its unsurety, its undetermined possibility life becomes the reason for our discovery? Some may say that they knew, but when we discuss it with them who knew them better we find another story entirely. This is about doubt, bad decisions and a quest for determining what makes each of us tick. Not about convincing ourselves and those around us that we have always been and will always be contained, prepared and unshakable.

There was nothing certain about my past, present or future until I made that decision that sets each human apart from the temporary to investigate the everlasting. I am the epitome of that man who never meshed with his surroundings, never fit in, never felt comfortable in his own skin, because this skin was never meant to be fulfilled in this lifetime. Some experiences may not be found until accepted into the Kingdom, to pursue those dreams of a life spent as we were meant to be. Fortunately, we will be able to realize our true desires and fit in completely in the real life to come.

I have always been a traveler in this world. Desperately seeking that opportunity to settle down, put down roots, find a family and spend all that wonderful time just getting older. However, that has always been the fantasy that created the stress that never quite measured the silhouette of true destiny. Some were not meant for this world, just temporary assignee. This seems strange to most who believe that the answer to their dreams lay within the confines and limitations of mortal life, but my greatest achievements were not meant for this time.

I will be at home when I am with the Lord to be the creature that I even now can only stretch to imagine. Certainly I sing, in joy, love in strength and fight with veracity and the ferocious fealty of devoted man. However, my passions extend beyond the horizons of this lifetime into the next when the wisdom of the ages will be manifest for my application. I will never subdue or diminish this crucible that prepares and provides patience, but there is one thing of which I have become readily certain, that there is no answer to destiny for me here, this is preparation for the real to come.

In Jesus, I live.

As I am the origin of my own thinking, does that grant immediate license to believe that my thinking then establishes new parameters with which to diagnose the disease of humanity or the collective awareness of my empirical wisdom as the ethically relevant basis of moral conductivity? Am I the center of objective thought in my subjective determinations just because some philosopher or scholar says that my only solace is in “free thought”. What if I am freer within the explanation of God’s Objective Truth than I have ever been within the intellectual or experiential constructs of man’s paradigm?

When are we going to forgo smoking the same pipe that Eve refused to pass along? When are we going to realize that the pursuance of our sensory intelligence, epiphany or revelatory experiences deconstruct the foundations of the stars replacing them with our own progeny? When will science admit that the smaller or bigger items become as they are scientific, experimentally deconstructed the more complex the building blocks of the universe appear to remain? At what point do we eschew pursuance of that same blind road to our own awareness through experience that we accept the truth that each of us was given before we became a thing within the gateway to this world our material Mother’s Womb?

Yes, experiences should be sought, yes, experiments conducted as we are the only species that looks to determine the “how” of the things happening around us. However making this experimentation or the expectations of revelation from these outcomes is denying the Truth to chase some measure of comfortable explanation for the universe around us.  Especially to say that these experiential revelations become the basis for a societal understanding of “free thinking”.  Why is it so mandatory to ignore the objective truth that is God in order to have free thought?  It isn’t but the enemy would have you believe that is mandatory to become free.  This is the lie he has been proffering for the ages. Additionally, it is tantamount to self destructive journey for a nation that believes its rights are based upon the gift from a Sovereign God in their inalienable capacity to ignore that foundation in attempt to redefine something more comfortable for our own constitution.

Discernment comes from crying out to God for wisdom who gives it liberally to all who ask for it. That is the truth of God’s Word in Proverbs 2. We have choice to pursue man’s irrational dismissal of God as the origin and end of creation in their self minded pursuit of developing an alternate origin or end to escape the Judgment that God promises all men. Yes, free thought is available as God promises to those who abide in His Word and become His disciples and are given the Truth which sets all men Free. Beyond that any direction given that leads us to self-dependent thought as the origins of objective reason or Truth when by nature all our thinking is “subjective” is a fool’s errand to be happily handed out by fools to watch others fall around them. It is not necessary to stay in the woods and only read the Bible. God invented Time Warp and Space Travel and matter itself capable of splitting apart with the energy to destroy us all.

It should be studied but not in a vacuum that excludes its origins or warnings from the outset. AI should be investigated, but right now we are bolting headlong into something for which we have no controls and don’t even understand what the cork looks like to be put back into the bottle when we’ve opened it. Believing myself, arrogantly so as the origin of Objective Truth is the ticket to the greatest miseries man may ever experience.

Don’t be dumb or uneducated, but neither believe that when you become educated that it somehow makes your experiences, knowledge or understanding the basis for a world that God created for you to investigate. Caution is prudent. Arrogance is the last step before a fall. And believing myself the origin of objective thought is asinine to the Nth degree. I pray for us all as this is the division of mankind between believers and people of faith, this is that line, knowledge is not power it is the promise of satan to overcome God. The Lord rebuke Him if He so chooses. In Jesus’ Holy Name.

Thankfully brought to my knees, Lord. No living or dying by the sword. A body this body to believe of one accord, living divine purpose toward, eternity none can take a loss to afford. See this is the time for choice, a day to lift our voice, filled with Spirit we rejoice called upon by passion each in form or fashion that beating and the lashing taken none may simply cashin without faith were left within the dark. No light without a spark or fuel to feed to fire, forgiveness without desire no word to cleanse or to inspire, making God a liar.

What then is left to man, armed with his own plan, cheering as his only fan a fickle handed fate born too early or too late loving within my sense of hate, failure to negate the impact of the plan effecting each and every man from Benjamin to Dan no matter how far we ran, confronted, hunted, wanted, wanton left heaving, huge gulps of breath deceiving never got believing the burden’s He’s relieving were just not worth receiving. Cooking without fire.

In this glory hope, way beyond my scope no vicar or the Pope just a relationship with Jesus, He sees us, from the inside out, knows what we’re all about, each action and every shout, faith and even doubt the arrogance we tout. The fasting and the praying, the hidden or displaying the leaving and the staying and all the Words worth saying. Left with no excuse no politics or muse for purpose of misuse no opportunity for recuse. A single Burning Briar.

Days filled with reason another season with leaves and trees and breeze so brisk it knocked my knees then brought a great big sneeze. Left with empty hand no scar or grain of sand just as He had planned to make of me demand that I could not understand without gifting or canned phrase to me miracle or maze the wonders He displays never cease to amaze, my gifts are fed to blaze casting light upon the ways and paths from night to days. Hopping fields and wire.

Forgotten are the pleasures as are the golden treasures left only soulful measures of how I lived for God. Shod with souls of peace we nod at the increase thinking odd to doubt in promise or Trust in what we must place our promise, no regret or remiss we dismiss the life gone bye no tearful itchy eye or question pondering why to heaven or just bust even forgetting how we once cussed our cadre stand nonplussed for the promise that we must hold our heads that much higher.

When you aren’t that hungry you just don’t eat right. What has happened to your appetite, my Son? Have you been intrigued by the fascinating display of thought and inquisitive reason feeling compelled to participate and in so doing losing focus on the righteous things of meditation and song? Have you set for yourself idols upon the mantle to gaze upon in hopeful wonder, looking to things crafted of wood and metal to provide for your blessings? Have you simply lost interest in the mysteries of the Word seeking miracles and signs and never seeing them in response?

The squirrel’s are every where, bright shiny objects of wonder and sound. They flash, sizzle, shake and twirl, capturing attention, diminishing focus and producing catatonia. In their spectacle the magic sustains your awe an awe reserved for God alone. What then in this temporary world suffices replacement of the eternal majesty and infinite depth of God’s gift’s of wisdom, insight and understanding? Measure your measure for soundness sake.

Atop the mountain you sit. Are you pondering the upcoming visit with God on this Holy Ground or capturing and seeking the valley views below, taking in every sight, bird flight and wind swept field wanton in return? There are moments that take your breath away do they pale those that give you breath? What song plays within the concordance of your heart? What evidence of contentment is reflected in your baited breath seeking social recognition? Who are you and who are you meant to become? Is this the road to reason or sanctification for both may not be traveled by these narrow feet. Perhaps pause is the order for this moment.

Does it matter what happens? We will be left in reaction to whatever occurs, why then must we master its prediction or feel failures in life’s equipping? This road is paved by God and its direction, twists, meetings and reflections are all provided to achieve specific objective? Must I be perfectly aligned to my own understanding to foster this mission accomplishment or consistent with the folds and flows in flux of a pathway perfected in His Timing, Saturation and Station? Chomping on the bit ruins my teeth and lays raw the edges and corners of my smile.

Yes, Lord, we both know what has been going on here. Thank you for allowing its admittance into the record of my unwillingness toward congruence in persistent tangential impulses. One accord is what we seek. Please forgive the childish responses to stimuli and begging at the counter for something I should not have or want. In Your Precious Name I sing, learn and walk. Jesus, My King.
