Silent Genocide

Such innocence lost
What beauty and what dreams could have been?
What imagination and talent has never been seen?
The silent genocide of a generation
Does no one care?
Does no one lose sleep over this massacre?
Satan's latest tool to murder the children
For more than 40 years
The unborn have had no voice
And we are waist deep in infants' blood
How did Hitler convince the Nazis that Jews should
     be exterminated?
By considering them less than human
How did early settlers convince others that Native
     Americans should relocate?
By considering them less than human
How did 19th century farmers convince each other
     that black people should be slaves?
By considering them less than human
How have Americans been convinced that murdering
     unborn children is acceptable?
By considering them less than human
Perhaps morality will return to our courts
Perhaps the holocaust of little children will one day
     end
Perhaps that time is soon
Until hell's agenda is overturned,
I will not stop praying
Until all of the voices of the devil's advocates are
     cut down,
I will not stop fighting
How many of them would have been my friends?
How many of them could have been world leaders?
Advocates of the devil say it's a woman's right to 
     choose to murder her child
They say the child will not have a good upbringing
Are they God?
What does the child say?

Nothing

A Pause in Time

Time slows down as thoughts drift away
The stillness of the day brings a peace like the breeze
I fall into a place where I am held in Your arms
The birds chirp, the wind blows,
As I walk deeper into Your Presence
All of my stress melts like ice on a warm spring morning
Changed to pure water, I drink from the overflow
The sun gazes down and warms my face
I feel my body lift into a peaceful serenity
In this place of zen I meet You,
       face to face

Sitting on this patch of grass,
I meditate in the garden
With a sword I take my thoughts captive
My fears and worries are drowned in love
Your goodness overwhelms me
What can I say?
Your Presence is like a river, 
Slowly washing over me
Pain and sorrow are forgotten until there is only peace
The emptying of one's mind,
And the filling with the Holy Spirit
Here I dwell in silence
Here I am crafted
Here I am molded
Here I fall in love

The Heart of the Father

Swimming in His Presence,

I find myself

Sunlit beams push back the cloudy grey of life

When the dark woods come upon you

And the sorrows, pain, and broken places are too much,

There is always a way out

You are never alone

Come swim in the oceans of His love

Let the weights on your shoulders sink to the bottom of the sea

Turn your gaze to the heavens

Drink in the beauty in the canvas He paints everyday

Let His peace rise up around you like a mist

Let His joy soak your skin

Feel the warm rain drops splash upon you

Let the water of the Holy Spirit fill you with drunken passion

Let the steam that rises from the streets fill your lungs with life

Can you feel it rising?

Hope is alive today

Like a smile that passes from person to person,

So I cannot contain the Lord's joy deep within my bones

Celebrate!

Let His joy bring forth the rising of the sun

If you set your gaze on Him, He will part the tall trees of the thick, dark forrest and lead you into the sunlit rolling hills of His grace

Can darkness push back the light?

Can night smother the light of the sun?

What can darkness do when light shines on it?

Nothing

Darkness is nothing

It has no substance 

It is merely an absence of light

Let the Light of the Father pierce your heart and make your passions come to life

You are worth it to him 

Every dream, purpose, and vision you have for your life matters to God

Every desire, every passion, He wants to see you come alive

Dream with Him

Paint the sky with Him

Let the waterfall of His love wash away shame and fear

Run through the grassy meadows and dance with Him

Shout! Laugh! Cry!

Live with passion

God wants you to come alive and burn brighter and brighter

He loves you more than you can possibly imagine

He has been chasing after you since the day you were born

Another Trip to Heaven: Dancing on Water

A gentle, invisible hand presses on my heart,

Slowly, gently rocking me back

Then, I fly, traveling upward

Then, I land, and the Spirit invites me to dance

I stand up in the water

Every foot step, every spin, every jump, with every dance move, I splash on top of the deep water

Angels join

A large dragon-like beauty flows seemlessly out of the water and into the air then back again

I can see large, beautiful see creatures in the deep

Water splashes, currents form, waves emanate from my dancing praise 

Wind surrounds me as more angels join

I can see several beautiful islands in the distance

The white puffy clouds overhead

Sunshine from the Throne all around

This will never end

I will get to praise God forever

The Power of Art

What dances in my spirit at the stroke of a brush?

Such beauty

Such creativity

Oil and color paints the window into God's heart

Viewing into heaven,

So many thoughts captured in one glance

A lifetime of skill shown in one instant

The creativity of God placed in the skill of man

How many paintings has God made?

The Grand Canyon, the oceans, the mountains, the forrest, the stars, the nebula in space,

What part of the human soul does this awaken?

What deep place in our spirit is moved by art?

Gaps in Time

What happens when the world stops?

When time stands still and everything can be clearly seen?

What could be more important than to pause and enter His Presence?

These gaps in time, these frozen moments,

Can be created

When the candle burns at both ends

And the hands on the clock move faster than the sun

One needs to pause time and walk with God

Look at the stars

Become lost in the vastness of space

Let God's enormity consume you

Drift out of this world and let Him take you into the next

From Glory to Glory

The clouds part

Rays of warm light shine through

Trees sprout up from the ground

They grow tall and have magnificent, green palm leaves

Electric green particles of light float up into the sky and disappear

Angels dance around

With their heavy armor and broad swords

They use their weapons as drums

And dance a wild dance 

Bright, teal waters rush into the room

Small, streaming waterfalls come down the walls

Angels haul barrels filled with glory and dump them into the room

A golden, vibrant liquid pours out

The pooling waters light on fire

And waves of grace overtake me

The fire warms my spirit but does not burn me

His love is so good!

It casts out my fear

As my hands trace through the air, a trail of flourescent blue light is left behind

Green vines grow up and down the walls

The air is thick with God's Prescence 

Such peace...

Such love....

There is nothing better
