The Future Is Now

The Future Is Now

2012, about to happen, sounds like science fiction to me.
I feal like the years have joined a rocket powered race
ever since 2000 arrived.
Since I can't slow down the clock, I try to savor the moment.
Right now, I'm writing this out on my porch. It's 79°, The babbling
fountain, in the yard, is singing along with a slight breeze.
We came home last night at 11 PM and crickets were
proclaiming how beautiful the Christmas lights look.
For all of you in the cold, remember, this is relative
to five months of blazing heat, when you are cool and
calm.
Terry has been working feverishly on updating his web site,
www.signumops.com. It doesn't need New Year's resolutions.
He is very motivated. Amanda has a new web site,
www.hipplayground.com. She takes after her father. I am full of
ideas for more children's books and poems. Now to get them
from my journal into print or onto the IPad format.
This year's goal of writing 2 blogs a month will have to be
continued. Who knows maybe I will write another one before
2012. Zoom, there's that date again.

I add some poems:

No Limit

Behold
a virgin
shall conceive
There is no limit
to God's creative
miracles
The heavenly hosts
of Angels
praising God
proclaiming the birth
of Jesus
stand waiting
Let your
Yes Lord
fill the earth
with more than enough
of His love
to go around.

Christmas Eyes

Heavy
heavy
heavy
is the heart
of man
As he gazes
on the wars
that rage
around us
Look up
Lite
is the heart
that sees
the Light of the
world
That gazes
into the eyes
of the Babe
of Bethlehem
now seated
in His Glory
Ready to dispatch
thousands
of Heavenly beings
armed with the
rarefied elixir
of His love
To open the eyes
of the blind
and dust with gold
the joyful captives
Set free
to drink in beauty
and celebrate
the Christ
the Lord of Glory
Today
and soon to be
forever more.

A Celebration Psalm

Jesus
For those I love
I thank you
For resources to give
and days of celebration
I thank you
You are the Babe
of Bethlehem
my pattern of reliance
on the Father's care
You are the resting place
of Holiness
gentle as a Dove
You are compassions source
with eyes of love
You are the bearer of all sin
knowing full well
it's consequences
Now You live in me
You reign on high
You prepare eternity
You with lightning speed
and unlimited power
are coming quickly
soon
Just in time.
