I have many interests (too numerous to list here). Mostly I have an afinity for anything uplifting to the soul that's inspirational, builds hope, is positive, with a purpose and contributes to the grand scheme of existence.

Compared to eternity our lives are but a brief moment. As a flower flourishes in a field so too is the life of man. So live life to the fullest, laugh as much as you can, love with everything you have and always remember peace and happiness are states of mind and cannot be bought. In the end, what you do for GOD is the only thing that counts. Lastly, always believe in yourself and never let anyone break your spirit.

Something to think about: Wherever you go, you cannot escape yourself; for wherever you go THERE YOU ARE. How you perceive life is where you are within your mind. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Before your life reflects an outward transformation, there needs to be an inward transformation.

What Would You Do?

What would you do

if today were your last?

Would you give to the poor

like you should've in the past?

Of those you've hurt,

would you ask their forgiveness?

Forgiving those who've hurt you,

reflecting God's goodness?

Would you turn to the world

a blind eye and deaf ear?

Seeking solace from within

so death you won't fear?

Would you stop

smell the fragrance

of a beautiful red rose,

and admire God's creation

in solemn sweet repose?

Soft clouds billowing,

in a sunny blue sky,

would you stop,

look up and admire

as people busily pass you by?

Would you share a comforting word

to the downtrodden and dejected?

Knowing in your life you've had pain

and was comforted and protected?

Would you spend your last day

asking questions,

seeking answers from above?

Or would you spend your last day

imparting God's love?

In Starry Skies

In starry skies on moonlit night

In dreams I float above a cloud

On wings of love I take to flight

Where eagles soar so very proud

Celestial flame that's burning bright

Eternal love that sings out loud.

A placid mind his peace does bless

Serenity upon his face

Mere words alone cannot express

His loving heart or saving grace

A captive heart I must confess

My soul's eternal dwelling place.

Heaven above on earth below

A doubtful mind I do repent

Securely sound in him I know

A love so pure that's heaven sent

He plants a seed, a love doth grow

Within a heart that's quite content.

Placidity of Silence

In the stillness I feel your presence

My soul's calm assurance

All of creation seen and unseen

Evidence of your existence

Crowning glory; wisdom, truth

Fire of soul's illumination

Comforts within solitude

Reflection in deep contemplation

Peace of mind, stillness of soul

Heart's trusting quiescence

Awed by wonders of your love

In the placidity of silence
