TRAVEL (POEM)

-



We would like to go to a big city
When money is poor
Then we will see more
Take a drive with your feet
Never too far that becomes explore
Until our breath makes us seat
Appreciating the view of the space
Reminiscing of youth now we are older
Sitting in the creation of the space that surrounds us
Until it's time to travel back home.


Travel through lanes until we reach the seashore
Money not being the object of the day
The Hills and the sea is our pleasure
Appreciating the view of the free space
Reminiscing of youth now we are older
Sitting in the creation of the space that surrounds us
Until it's time to travel back home.


We will sit in the park of flowers and trees
Say good day to friends and strangers
Hear the bird song, the shrill of children play
Appreciating the view of the freedom space
Reminiscing of youth now we are older
Sitting in the creation of the space that surrounds us
Until it's time to travel back home.


Go out in the gardens, terrace's
Share a conversation with our neighbours
Meditation on the sounds around us
Appreciating the view of the freedom space
Reminiscing of youth now we are older
Sitting in the creation of the space that surrounds us
Until it's time to travel back home.



The weather we cannot control it
It is given with natures purpose for the earth
God's blessings will travel with us wherever we go
So, Appreciating the view of the freedom space
Reminiscing of youth now we are older
Sitting in the creation of the space that surrounds us
Until it's time to travel back home,
Until it's time to travel back home.

TAKE A BREAK

"Hi, how are you, how you doing?...." I can't believe it's been a week since I boarded a train to Criccieth at 9am. I know God was in it especially train travel and meeting new people (no anxiety - ptl). At 1am Sunday I wrote my story plus another little story (I don't write stories, so watch this space), Making it 8 stories written since last years retreat. I met some amazing fellow Christian writers, old and friends; some I've only met via a screen.  Have  you ever heard of the Biblical friends Mary and Martha. Mary, is the artistic poetic philosopher, who is thrilled to just bask in the moment. She is stirred, thrilled, touched and inspired by the presence of Jesus. Maratha, is certainly a doer, she worked her fingers to the bone in her super-efficient way. Yet, here in the story, Jesus rebukes Martha, It’s a gentle rebuke. I guess I've been a bit of Maratha always doing and finding it to rest.  "There was long moments of stillness and silence.&quo

KINGS WRITER IN PROGRESS

I'm currently sitting on a train heading home after a fabulous 5 days at Criccieth on a christian writers retreat, this is the second year I've been. What a fabulous bunch of creative writers that I've had the blessing of sharing fellowship with and God even blessed us with glorious weather. I  believe I was the only poet amongst the story tellers. I soon discovered that didn't matter as we all write in different genre's, it has one central purpose; we are ' Kingdom Writers', we write to glorify the name of Jesus to our peers and communities. One thing or one word even that was very evident to me was the word 'wait', it appeared at least once in every session. Yes I have all material (actually to much), I'm the person who wants it out now; but perhaps right now isn't the write time. Over the few days I discovered it's a mine field out there in the publishing world, something that is still alien to me. Weather it's next year or in twe

There are several types of psalms, including songs of praise, communal and individual laments, royal psalms, imprecation, and individual thanksgivings. The book also includes psalms of communal thanksgiving, wisdom, pilgrimage. While many of the psalms contain attributions to King David and other Biblical figures including Asaph, the sons of Korah, and Solomon. The book of Psalms is found in the middle of the bible. The middle psalm is psalm 118:8-9; It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes . The longest psalm is Psalm 119 with 176 verses; that would take awhile to read the whole 176 verses in one go. The shortest psalm in the bible if found in 117 which only contains two verses
