70:1.12 5. Revenge was the motive for war when one tribe believed that a neighboring tribe had caused the death of a fellow tribesman. Mourning was continued until a head was brought home. The war for vengeance was in good standing right on down to comparatively modern times.

Revenge?
Revenge is nothing we should play.
It’s a game that does delay
Progress in the name of love.
Revenge will never help you solve.

Does it truly help your heart?
To take revenge may turn it dark.
A darkened heart may turn away
From the light of brand new days.

To look beyond, and then inside
Provides perspectives never tried.
We are more, please just believe.
There’s more to do than save the trees.

What we think is true and good,
Depends upon what’s understood.
Love and Faith in your Belief,
Reflect your soul when in defeat.

That’s when we best know ourselves.
When in defeat, our depths we delve.
We must find our new direction
When thwarted in our plans for action.

Accept the path that God presents.
It’s there for you, use common sense.
There’s nothing left for you to do.
The path of God will show you Truth.

Thank You, Father, Your direction
Will lead this world to its perfection.
Many years, perhaps eons
Before our imperfection’s gone.

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.

113:5.4 In the life of the flesh the intelligence of angels is not directly available to mortal men. They are not overlords or directors; they are simply guardians. The seraphim guard you; they do not seek directly to influence you; you must chart your own course, but these angels then act to make the best possible use of the course you have chosen. They do not (ordinarily) arbitrarily intervene in the routine affairs of human life. But when they receive instructions from their superiors to perform some unusual exploit, you may rest assured that these guardians will find some means of carrying out these mandates. They do not, therefore, intrude into the picture of human drama except in emergencies and then usually on the direct orders of their superiors. They are the beings who are going to follow you for many an age, and they are thus receiving an introduction to their future work and personality association.

Do
Rain has come, refreshing rain
Relieving drought, we were in pain.
Nothing like the air refreshed.
The falling rain is by Your grace.

A cooler day has also come.
Sunday can be lots of fun.
Meetings, friends, and family.
Devote yourself, so the best can be.

It’s a calling every day
Because it is the best of ways.
To stand up for the very best
Results in what is Spirit rest.

A peace surrounds you as you act.
Love does that, and that’s a fact.
A rest that is assured of love
Is given, as we do evolve.

An understanding helps give peace
To your spirit, you have release.
Knowledge of the here and now.
Experience is what gives know how.

So as we age, we know what we
Should have done, our history.
But first all lessons must be learned
Before discretions are not spurned.

Thank You, Father, though I stumble
And many times, I’ve truly fumbled
My direction is towards You.
Improving is what I will do.

92:1.4 Mystery and power have always stimulated religious feelings and fears, while emotion has ever functioned as a powerful conditioning factor in their development. Fear has always been the basic religious stimulus. Fear fashions the gods of evolutionary religion and motivates the religious ritual of the primitive believers. As civilization advances, fear becomes modified by reverence, admiration, respect, and sympathy and is then further conditioned by remorse and repentance.

Remorse
What’s in a brand, or in a name?
In many ways, we are the same.
Motivation splits us all.
Various ways we can stand tall.

To look inside, and understand
The makings of what makes a man,
Can be revealing to your soul.
Experiencing all things is the goal.

God is with you high or low.
He’s with you everywhere you go.
When you fail, God fails with you.
He knows what’s best for you to do!

He always lets your spirit choose.
That way, your wisdom can improve.
To reap rewards of what you plant
You must attend the gifts he grants.

When together with your friends
What message do you truly send?
Not by notes, or words, of course.
What’s inside you has God’s force.

You reflect what you believe.
And truly shine, when faith is weaved
Into the fabric of your life.
Your fiber glows as you survive.

Thank You, Father, today will be.
I will choose the way I see.
I pray for wisdom with my choice.
I pray to live without remorse.

195:6.4 At the time of this writing the worst of the materialistic age is over; the day of a better understanding is already beginning to dawn. The higher minds of the scientific world are no longer wholly materialistic in their philosophy, but the rank and file of the people still lean in that direction as a result of former teachings. But this age of physical realism is only a passing episode in man’s life on earth. Modern science has left true religion – the teachings of Jesus as translated in the lives of his believers – untouched. All science has done is to destroy the childlike illusions of the misinterpretations of life.

Direction
Another cool day, but with no rain.
We could use more, but thanks again.
Things refreshed with what we’ve got.
A twist of fate, it floods a lot.

Learning how to live’s a skill
One can’t learn from drugs or pills.
The every day experience of life
Might lead you to your growth, called strife.

So yes, I’m thankful for life I’ve lived.
Every day we live’s a gift.
You can’t escape from life experience.
And every day has some significance.

The ever-changing now of time
Goes through all our days in line.
We can’t go back, and change what’s been.
We can look forward as things begin!

Start some good things in your life.
Follow through with them, don’t strike.
Challenge self to be your best.
Everybody has their test.

I think the Guardians of our souls
The Angels have this as Their goal—
To make us work, show what we’ve got
And help us live a life God taught.

Thank You, Father, for Your gifts.
This gift of life is on my list.
Living every day’s experience.
Helps us all obtain deliverance.

03:9.10 When reason once recognizes right and wrong, it exhibits wisdom; when wisdom chooses between right and wrong, truth and error, it demonstrates spirit leading. And thus are the functions of mind, soul, and spirit ever closely united and functionally interassociated. Reason deals with factual knowledge; wisdom, with philosophy and revelation; faith, with living spiritual experience. Through truth man attains beauty and by spiritual love ascends to goodness.

When Right or Wrong
This string of days gives one perspective.
Find yourself, don’t be reactive.
Patiently await, find calm.
Use your mind, accept when wrong.

That may be your hardest lesson.
You must adjust, change wrong’s direction.
Look for where a shift in focus
Might give to you a better locus.

Doing in the name of love
Just might help for you to solve
The problem that is facing you.
No matter what, love helps find truth.

The truth will always help you grow.
Your inner Spirit helps to show
Reality is there to see.
Become like It and really be!

As you grow, you do become
More real as that’s how Heaven’s run.
Deal with life, live in the now!
Believe, have faith, you are endowed!

God is reaching out to you.
He’s put Himself inside you too.
When you look, He shows Himself.
Love’s sincere when it’s heartfelt.

Thank You, Father, for Your love.
It’s the key to help us solve
All the problems we now face.
Love will save the Human Race.

52:7.15 All the worlds of Satania can join in the hope of the one who wrote: “Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.”

New Things
Robot vacuums everywhere.
Each floor needs its own self care.
Minor bugs keep me aware
Of their whereabouts, everywhere.

Morning robots clean the floor.
They have no beings at their core.
Yet they frustrate me to death.
You cannot teach, when they know best.

We buy, but then have no access
To teach their program what is best.
It does learn, as it does map
And saves that info from its past.

Automatically it must search.
The best path forward, it cleans and serves.
When it gets stuck upon its path
I found it’s best to free it fast.

It’s the little things in life
That make the differences we like.
Sweet and sour, a mix of tastes
And time is something not to waste.

So robot cleaning makes much sense
If they save time, and don’t invent
Brand new hassles for our minds.
You can’t expect for them to mind!

Thank you, Father, for new tech.
But sometimes it can give headaches.
But progress always must be earned.
And always must new tech be learned.
