101:7.3 Presently new systems of values come into existence; new formulations of principles and standards are achieved; habits and ideals are reshaped; some idea of a personal God is attained, followed by enlarging concepts of relationship thereto.
The Trail
The Holiday has come today.
The sound of fireworks last night played.
Loud booming late last night.
To sleep through that, was quite the fight.

Might as well give in tonight.
Go outside and see the sights.
Smell the fumes left in the air
And talk to all who gather there.

Try to live the here and now.
Fix yourself with good morale.
Then do what you can do the best.
Serve this world, don’t be its guest.

Service one can do for others.
As you serve, you find we’re brothers.
That experience is unmatched.
The plan of God has been unhatched.

I think you probably get my drift,
If through my words you truly sift.
The way ahead where we survive,
Is found inside where God resides.

The God inside Christ did reveal.
Commune inside with your appeals.
Father Communion for a season
Can improve the way we reason.

Thank You, Father, where You reside,
Is a place where I can’t hide.
I must honestly look in,
And, see myself, and where I’ve been.

100:7.18 Jesus was the perfectly unified human personality. And today, as in Galilee, he continues to unify mortal experience and to co-ordinate human endeavors. He unifies life, ennobles character, and simplifies experience. He enters the human mind to elevate, transform, and transfigure it. It is literally true: “If any man has Christ Jesus within him, he is a new creature; old things are passing away; behold, all things are becoming new.”

Now Again
A Saturday to start the month.
An upward path, a numbers crunch.
What do expectations mean,
When you achieve what’s been a dream?

Surprise is never e’er expected.
It can’t be, unless directed.
How to know about surprise?
If you know, then you are wise.

Surprise is always going to be
A part of life, to some degree.
Learning too, will never cease
Until the plan of God completes.

Eternity, infinity, where God lives conceptually.
How, and what, are both obscured
But the why is love, with faith observed!

Don’t try to second-guess what is.
There’re reasons for God’s formulas.
Observe the now and tend to facts.
Find God’s way and then enact.

Be the best that you know how.
Find how God within endows.
Use the gifts you have received
In the ways God has conceived.

Thank You, Father, for Your plan.
Love will spread throughout this land.
Yes, it’s going to take some time,
But with Your Book, I see Design.
