I've come too far to turn around

"I’ve come to far to turn around"

I’ve come too far, and I can’t think of turning around.

My heart; mind, and soul is as low as the ground.

Listening for a word from above, but I hear no sound.

All I know is how loud, and hard my heart is beginning to pound.

I look around for one of my supposed to be friend’s, there are none to be found.

My troubles have risen higher than a mound.

May my works speak for me… Continue

Who is it that you are looking at?

"Who was is it that you were looking at

Could It have possible be an Angel?

Do you really know who it was that you have been looking down on?

Do you know who it was, that only needed a kind word, and you wouldn’t take the time to call them on the phone?

Do you know who it was that you left standing in the rain all alone?

Do you know who it was that was hungry, and you wouldn’t offer a piece of meat, moreless a bone?

Do you know who it was that only… Continue

"You are so special my dear"

You are so very special my dear.

I pray that you don’t allow my words to go past your ear.

There is a blessing in my words for you to hear.

If you should happen to break down and cry,

I pray that my words will dry up your every tear.

I pray that God will be with you so you’ll have nothing to fear.

I pray that this is your due season and that you’ll be blessed this year.

Walk in the front, there’s no need to linger… Continue

The case scenario of abuse

"The Biggest Case Scenario to the continuation of “The Lives of Abused and Battered Women"

Men have gotten by with abusing women for centuries. When the first man got by with it I feel that it gave the other men the nerve to abuse their women also. If the men had been judged, or condemned for their actions this would never have lasted this long. At the first sign of abuse, if we women would have stood up for our rights, or did what ever it took to show the men that they… Continue

Poem: Fragile, Flawed and Easily Broken

Despite imperfections of this body,

my shell is an earthen clay jar

that's fragile, flawed and easily broken,

letting the Light of Christ shine.

Though not pretty on the outside,

I won't be mistaken

for a white-washed tomb -

God can use my weakness

to display His greatness.

I've chosen to be submitted

to His Will and Plan for my life.

In spite of exterior chips, dings and nicks,

Christ looks inwardly at my… Continue

Poem: New Age Spirituality

Why settle for a counterfeit

when you can have the genuine thing?

For the purpose of "new age" spirituality

is replacing God with the Human Being.

Working from a false assumption

that Man is essentially good,

will lead us down destruction's path

as History has taught us, as it would.

The fight for supremacy

of our human souls

is still being waged by the Devil

under his planetary control.

Humanism has its… Continue

Off To See The Wizard...

Somewhere over the rainbow is an enchanted realm full of mystery and magic that has captured the hearts and inspired the imagination of millions throughout the world. Published in 1900, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz provided a much needed escape for many lonely dreamers at a difficult and troubled time. It's no different today, and obviously... it was no different for me. While I'll freely admit that I always enjoyed watching the… Continue

Poem: Immortality

Ahhh... Immortality.

After the death of my earthly flesh,
my spirit will fully embrace it.
For I'm truly made
in my Creator's Image
and filled with His Divine presence.
How can anyone doubt...
The premise of my logic?

Ahhh... Immortality.

Poem: Show of Hands

Despite the differences of skin color

and our cultural upbringings,

we're more than brothers of Mankind -

Technically, we're kin.

Go to the mountain

preserved by ice and snow

where the revelation of Ararat's secret

is available for everyone to know.

For the ark's existence

proves the global flood story is true

and being our brother's keeper...

Is still a right thing to do.

Descended from Noah

are the many races… Continue

Gerry is our unlikely hero in When You Went Away, a novel by Michael Baron, published by The Story Plant, a relatively new and different sort of publisher, operated by publishing industry veterans. I received an advanced… Continue

Post 15 is Up: Who Killed Emmett Till?, FREE Blog Book

A small lake outside of Greenville, Mississippi. Photo by Susan Klopfer.

THROUGHOUT HER LIFE, Emmett Till’s mother, carried a frightening story close to her heart – a story she often replayed in her mind. She didn’t have to own the story, since her family had left Mississippi and its inherent meanness when she was just a baby – like many black Mississippians, they moved to Argo, on the outskirts of Chicago, to escape the misery of… Continue
