that cold sharp tone
makes my bones shiver
i know now
that a heart is changed
when one recognizes
that self
does not have
all of the answers
in humility
traipsing
to
the
alter
to
lay
it
all
out
that
we be
washed
from the
filth
of sin..
God help us
We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind..
Isaiah 64:6
golden leaves
sky so blue
every day
is
brand new..
with an open heart
and eyes to see
i thank the good Lord..
for what he has done
for you and me..
r gould
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
could you, would you, please
tone it down
or turn it off
are you telling the world
this is what you’ve got?
profanity is not pleasing
to my ears
especially when
i consider
that children hear..
if you are thinking
that it will get my vote
i am sorry to tell you
it seriously will not..
r gould
words like honey
oh so sweet
but for some reason
not coming from some tweets
i am not a twitter bird
but, i do know
that wise and kind words
really can flow..
and when they do
it will surely show..
r gould
For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts..
Romans 1:21
summer mood
a bit subdued
heavy heart
from fires that start
loss of life
and loss of home
exhausted bodies
people bemoan
and question why
God bring comfort
and please
rain down on them..

paddle glide paddle glide
skim across the water
best friends by my side
what better way
to spend a summer day
than to
paddle glide paddle glide
with
furry four legged friends
by my side~
r gould
heaven on earth
takes my breath away
a fleeting moment
on this summer day..
heaven on earth
comes and goes
like the seasons
natures picture shows..
heaven on earth
far and near
and in those moments
i hold dear..
r gould
Where is your soul
in all of that hot air..
your speech is despicable
maybe you don’t care..
you speak often and rudely
to show you are tough..
that kind of behavior
tells me much..
about your character
and I am sorry to say..
there’s a lack of integrity
by the end of the day..

Snuggle, kitty cat
snuggles are free
better to be indoors
than stuck in a tree
stay indoors
where it is safe
where feral cat’s
can’t get you
and won’t give chase
to a tabby girl
who is mild and sweet
but best not get to close
to the flying critters
that have a beak..
