Punctuation Marks

Sept. 2011 Blog. # 2

(O.K., it's October, lightning knocked out our Internet )
and we are just now able to access it again.

Punctuation Marks

September has flown by. It has had a few punctuation marks.
Terry bought me a new lap top computer with all new software.
All new, different! Words that strike fear into a technology phobic.
I decided to stay positive and think of it as getting to know a new
"friend". If you are reading this successfully uploaded blog., This
means we have become "friends".
An exciting point in the month was a stay at Orange Lake Resort
near Disney, with Amanda and family. This was a business stay
for her. She reviews resorts for her web. site at, www.disneyeveryday.com.
Our stay was all good, our suite, the zero entry walk in pool, floating down
the lazy river, great dining, and Terry and I sitting by the pool watching
the full moon rise.
Terry's birthday was a huge success at his favorite restaurant, Texas de Brazil.
We were six in a semi private meeting room, waited on like royalty.
So the continued heat of a Florida September was not overpoweringly oppressive
after all.
The seasons march on and assurance of cool breezes, even in Florida,
match up with the promise of God, that His Kingdom is without end.

I add some of my poems.

A Glimpse Enough

From time to time
God pulls out
all the stops
with His color palette
From tiny birds
too long tailed parrots
from fields and meadows
to desert plains
In Praise
I wish to do the same
In dance
and song and verse
to proclaim His beauty
poured out
not just for a season
His promise placed for us
His beauty unimagined
I give to Him all praise
In faith
the knowing that
His promises
he keeps
The empty tomb
reverberating
no separation now
remains.

This Tongue to Tell

You are
a mighty stream
flowing with love
for all people
A tower of strength
a raft of safety
propelling us on
to a better place
Your mantle
covers
as the winds rage
You are shelter
in every storm
Your name is power
sending the enemy
to flight
Flow Holy Spirit
wash away deception
bring clarity to our minds
mingle our tears
with Your Holy wine
Make us glad
knowing that You
have provided the way
That our dwelling
will be with You
Unimagined pleasure
through your hand
As living epistles
Christ in us
with us
now and evermore.

Fire Fall

God's breath
it strips off all the flesh
leaving the part
that is more than
just skin deep.

What Was That

A leap of faith
much different
than an average walk
Those who leap
stand out
get to new destinations
provide pleasure
for the King
Attracting attention
as they point
to the Heavens.

Lowly Acts

The know it all
too soon will fall
'cause knowing
keeps on growing
Perpetual study
keeps one
from appearing nutty
as a know it all
Some
never get to
where they know
that they are
now it alls
Then there's the rare
who knows he never will
know everything
there is to know
Yet finds that if
he goes ahead
and activates his knows
Wisdom sprinkles in
and just knowing
what he can
and doing
leads to revelation
for the greater good
Even for the know it alls
who fall behind
when measured
side-by-side
with those who work
with what they do know
There is hope
As the rare
who knows he never will
humbly walks
and shows the rarest form
of doing
without any
showing off
of how it's done.
