The Pit

A man fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out.

A subjective person walked along and said, "I feel for you down there."

An objective person walked by and said, "It's logical that someone would fall down there."

A Pharisee said, "Only bad people fall into pits."

A mathematician calculated how he fell into the pit.

A news reporter wanted the exclusive story of the pit.

An IRS agent asked if he was paying taxes on the pit.

A self-pitying person said, "You haven't seen anything until you've see my pit!"

A fire-and-brimstone preacher said, "You deserve your pit."

A psychologist noted, "You mother and father are to blame for you being in that pit."

A self-esteem therapist said, "Believe in yourself and you can get out of that pit."

An optimist said, "Things could be worse."

A pessimist claimed, "Things will get worse."

Jesus, seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted the man out of the pit.

Imagine Art Again

Imagine art again,
of white mountains,
and cold seas.

Come down and hear,
sing, and find everyday.

Want more wing, but
do the road.

Dream of colour.
Use time to
imagine art again.

Writers Block

A Writers Block Poem by Me
aka The Schizophrenic Writer

I'm in the process of writing a book right now.
It's the sequel to Unchain.
I'm finding it hard to get past the first chapter.
How annoying!

"Just write" I tell myself.
And for the most part I will and do...
when I'm not distracted.

I'm so thankful and grateful for this blog
so that I can at least type
what is on my mind at the moment.

I also have ideas floating around
my head for a new book...
and another series.
Not going to tell you about those ones,
as they are still in the works.

It's frustrating having writers block.

Grandmother's and guns

When going through some old photos, I found the strangest thing... a photograph of my grandmother... with a gun! This was probably on the farm that she grew up on, and of course, this would have been the norm for her back then. But still, the sight of this photo was shocking! (-:

A Rose is a Rose

The desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. - Isaiah 35:1-2

Oasis

Be my Oasis, Lord.
Satisfy my thirst.
Fill me up
to overflowing.

My journey through
the desert
has been long
and tiring.
I am dry.
I want to
rest in You -
in the shelter of Your
wings, in the
comfort of Your hand.

I long for
Your
living waters.
I know that
they will satisfy
every ounce
of my being.

Restore my life,
cleanse me,
make me pure.
Make me more
like You.
I need You
to be
my Oasis.

Come ye to the waters, and I will give you rest. - Isaiah 55:1

Crimson Rain

In the distance
I can hear You
Rolling in
The approaching rain.
Flood my life now
I can feel You
Pouring in
The approaching rain.

In the distance
I can see You
Rolling in
The approaching rain.
Flood my life now
With Your power -
Pour on me
The approaching rain.

Rain on me.
Wash me clean.
Make me pure.
Open wide the flood gates
Of Your love.

Rain on me.
Overwhelm me,
Drown me,
Fill me,
Consume me
With Your
Crimson Rain.
