Scattered

 Here’s today’s poem. It’s called:

Scattered 

God is above nation, He rules over all 

His plan coming to fruition 

He's the One who scattered, same One was battered

Draw us all, make us one His mission 

He was lifted up, already drawing 

He's been drawing from the start

Making us all one, while still under sun 

Proving to be the hardest part 

He still has His plan, He still uses man 

We're His kings, He's the King of kings 

Unity His goal, He's helping us be whole 

Seek to see the blessings that brings.

John 11:52

and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.

John 12:32

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

That ain’t what a mashup is 

 

Willie stole from Waylon

Ole Waylon stole from Kris

Willie stole from Waylon

Ole  Waylon stole from Kris

Kris refused to steal from Johnny 

That  ain’t what a mashup is

Kris refused to steal from Johnny 

That  ain’t what a mashup is

Back in the day Kris swept the floor

Then Johnny came down , came in through that door 

Kris, my friend, I’m gonna set you free

He said “Kris I’m setting your hand free”

Next day boy walked in with Bobby McGhee 

Next day boy walked in with Bobby McGhee

Ole Waylon stole from Kris

Kris refused to steal from Johnny 

That  ain’t what a mashup is

Person to love not problem to solve

 Here’s today’s song. It’s called:

Person to love not problem to solve

We know and love 'em, they bring pain 

We're still called to love 'em

They're our lot, won't hear 'em plot 

Can't just push and shove 'em 

I'm the problem, I'm the dreamer 

Hurts 'cause they're my kin

Love, it seems, covers dreams 

Love still covers sin 

Be prepared, serve The Lord

Invest yourself in Him

Under steeple love all people 

Love risks life and limb 

I'm the problem, I'm the dreamer 

Hurts 'cause they're my kin

Love, it seems, covers dreams 

Love still covers sin 

I'm the problem, I'm the dreamer 

Hurts 'cause they're my kin

Love, it seems, covers dreams 

Love still covers sin.

Genesis 37:17-20

17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan. ’”

So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.

19 “Here comes that dreamer! ” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”

Matthew 25:29

29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

Flawed servant

 Here’s today’s song. It’s called:

Flawed servant 

Samson was strong but he was flawed 

Delilah demonstrates 

His strength returns, his passion burns

He fell from hurts to hates 

I'm no better, I want revenge 

Hard to forgive and serve

I too am flawed, I  hear God 

He holds my heart and nerve 

Jesus showed He had no flaws 

He's over all creation 

He wants a coin, fits fish to join 

Sends it to its station 

I'm no better, I want revenge 

Hard to forgive and serve

I too am flawed, I  hear God 

He holds my heart and nerve 

I'm no better, I want revenge 

Hard to forgive and serve

I too am flawed, I  hear God 

He holds my heart and nerve.

Judges 16:22

But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.

Matthew 17:24-27

The Temple Tax

24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25 “Yes, he does,” he replied.

When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes —from their own children or from others?”

26 “From others,” Peter answered.

“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”

Certified

 Here’s today’s poem. It’s called:

Certified

Abraham 100 when Isaac was born 

Sarah too old as well 

God creates us, He predates us 

His total time'll tell 

Already angels certified 

Saints are there of old

John the least, His bride's the feast 

Accept and see unfold 

You accept you're in the new 

Bride is new and great 

John and Groom made more room 

Join before too late.

Genesis 21:5

5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

Matthew 11:11

11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

John 3:31-34

31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

Be the one

 Here’s today’s song. It’s called :

Be the one 

Help me be the one bows down in thanks 

My goal: be the one who returns 

Jesus heals ten, one born again 

Go back, bow down, no burns 

We can be the one, don't have to be the nine 

We can bow at Jesus' feet 

We can finish strong, live a good life long 

Our return meets His mercy seat

Jesus speaks, says "Rise and go", 

At His Word we're well 

The other nine He cannot find 

There's a real place, hell 

We can be the one, don't have to be the nine 

We can bow at Jesus' feet 

We can finish strong, live a good life long 

Our return meets His mercy seat

We can be the one, don't have to be the nine 

We can bow at Jesus' feet 

We can finish strong, live a good life long 

Our return meets His mercy seat.

Luke 17:11-19

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Christ or cannabis

 Here’s today’s song. It’s called:

Christ or cannabis 

Justify, how I try 

Really ain't no reason 

You may have to choose as well

Move to that next season 

As a kid, some things work 

Escape awhile from life 

When you're grown the seeds you've sown 

Turn from free to strife 

I look back, the things that worked 

All appear appealing 

As I mature, I see, for sure

His hand on me, He's healing

As a kid, some things work 

Escape awhile from life 

When you're grown the seeds you've sown 

Turn from free to strife 

As a kid, some things work 

Escape awhile from life 

When you're grown the seeds you've sown 

Turn from free to strife.

Proverbs 31:6-7

6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,

wine for those who are in anguish!

7 Let them drink and forget their poverty

and remember their misery no more.
