66:6.2 When Christian missionaries go into the heart of Africa, where sons and daughters are supposed to remain under the control and direction of their parents throughout the lifetime of the parents, they only bring about confusion and the breakdown of all authority when they seek, in a single generation, to supplant this practice by teaching that these children should be free from all parental restraint after they have attained the age of twenty-one.

Powers

Wonder springs before my eyes.

This day is young, there’ll be surprise.

Good will spread on this fine day

As I decide to be that way!

Decisions that are made inside

Mistakes are there, one cannot hide.

Attitude’s the prime directive!

Our main decision is elective.

But advertising lies and cheats

To gain some power, truly stinks!

If your lead to go astray

Relentless courage you must display!

Acceptance of whom you have been.

Acceptance of a change within.

Direction of where one can go

Love’s the answer, blow by blow.

A change in what one thinks about

Can cause confusion, thoughts reroute.

New perspectives change what we

Truly, truly did believe.

Advancing in our social mores.

History shows our many forays.

Fighting, fighting, always wars

Are remembered, pretty poor!

Democratic states remembered.

Greece was there, but’s been dismembered.

Democracy’s under attack!

The powers that be want their powers back!

This world’s leaders do not want.

Democracy’s too eloquent.

Their vision has been warped by power.

Everyone of them’s gone sour.

A longer poem, yes today

But there was really much to say.

I hope and hope, but also pray

The world’s direction goes up today!

Thank You, Father, help me be

A force for Love within with Ye!

A focus for Your eloquence

And help me be intelligent.

100:4.5 In the mind’s eye conjure up a picture of one of your primitive ancestors of cave-dwelling times – a short, misshapen, filthy, snarling hulk of a man standing, legs spread, club upraised, breathing hate and animosity as he looks fiercely just ahead. Such a picture hardly depicts the divine dignity of man. But allow us to enlarge the picture. In front of this animated human crouches a saber-toothed tiger. Behind him, a woman and two children. Immediately you recognize that such a picture stands for the beginnings of much that is fine and noble in the human race, but the man is the same in both pictures. Only, in the second sketch you are favored with a widened horizon. You therein discern the motivation of this evolving mortal. His attitude becomes praiseworthy because you understand him. If you could only fathom the motives of your associates, how much better you would understand them. If you could only know your fellows, you would eventually fall in love with them.

Know-how

Anticipate the best today

We are going towards God’s Way.

We can feel it in our bones.

Everybody has a phone.

Communicators everywhere

We wear them like our underwear.

They’re a must, so we’re aware

Of our friends' feelings, we do care.

Texting, texting, info travels

Around the world as time unravels.

The world is half asleep at once.

Night and Day at twilight crunch.

Cycles on this earth exist.

We all live ours, we do subsist.

We’re all within the flow of time.

We’re all here by God’s design.

The plan includes what is to be.

Time flows on, relentlessly.

Progress is truly up to us.

Progress with God is what we trust.

Trust in that which is inside.

Find a leader for our tribe.

Trust in what He does decide.

To the way of God, we must abide.

Thank You, Father, the day bodes well.

The air is fresh where I do dwell.

Storms may come, but not for now.

We must advance our Spirit know how.

101:0.3 Religion, the conviction-faith of the personality, can always triumph over the superficially contradictory logic of despair born in the unbelieving material mind. There really is a true and genuine inner voice, that “true lightwhich lights every man who comes into the world.” And this spirit leading is distinct from the ethical prompting of human conscience. The feeling of religious assurance is more than an emotional feeling. The assurance of religion transcends the reason of the mind, even the logic of philosophy. Religion is faith

Pathways

I salute, the day begins.

There’s something in us deep within.

Look for it, then you’ve been found.

Realize we’re Heaven bound.

Do those things that must be done.

Look inside you’ll find it’s fun.

Make the world a better place.

Don’t worry now, just work with Faith.

You can find good things to do.

Truly look they’ll come to you.

Get involved, wishes come true.

Faith will truly get you through.

It’s a pattern under God.

Life is lived, problems get solved.

We improve upon our past.

We need to make more things that last.

We learn and learn most every day.

If we don’t learn we may turn gray.

Prematurely I might add.

Use your mind or you’ll be sad.

Sadness makes your world turn gray.

Why does Joy ever go away?

Faith restores color to your grays.

If nothing else learn how to pray.

Thank You, Father, for the chance

To join with You in life’s romance.

To learn the Spirit ways of life

Promotes awareness, Inner light.

19:5.8 Of more than twelve orders of beings associated with me at this time, the Solitary Messenger is the only one aware of the presence of these mysterious entities of the Trinity. And further, while we are thus apprised of the nearness of these divine Spirits, we are all equally ignorant of their mission. We really do not know whether they are merely interested observers of our doings, or whether they are, in some manner unknown to us, actually contributing to the success of our undertaking.

Mission

Here we go another day

Beauty tinged to start our way.

Blue skies cover all the sky

And sunlight dances in our eyes.

Goodness grows within our chest

I know in Heaven there is rest.

For now, we have so much to do

Just to live in peace with You.

War and peace, so opposite.

War seems our natural habitat.

A world without war lives in peace.

Can we achieve that and eat that feast?

Do you lead if you don’t care

About those lead, and if you’re fair?

Where you lead them, is it good?

Are you doing as you should?

Stand for Love and do some Good.

This world needs more than shoulds and coulds!

We need to be as we envision.

Perfecting better lives, our mission.

So yes, there’s much to do today.

A shift in how our mission sways

Those opposed to loving kindness.

We’ll sway them with their own refinement.

Thank You, Father, Love will be

The way this world finds victory.

Your Book is here, Your Son has come,

Our mission, here now, is not done.

Walk Humbly

"The prophet spoke advisedly when he said, `Walk humbly with God,' for, while the Father in heaven is the Infinite and the Eternal, he also dwells `with him who is of a contrite mind and a humble spirit.'" ~Jesus~ 149:6.11
