Imagine some great mind, that has great plans...
& then that they could also make things well;
imagine if they made, not just demands,
but knew & loved you more than you could tell...
Imagine if those plans brought all the hopes,
adventure & delight that you could stand,
like hanging off the highest of "high ropes"
& could add to great good accross the land...
Imagine if the greatest mind there was
could know them and agree they were the best
that they had seen so far, & yet because
they were so lofty, others thought them 'jest!'
Imagine if these plans involved your 'will',
they gave you options, let you step right up,
so as you lived 'em out you're wiser till
your future & your character erupt!
If only that could be! I wish for it.
And don't you too? - Imagine if it could.
And if they stayed around to handle shit,
& help if needed... wouldn't that be good!
..........
I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 (PM Version)

faith prompts
"Give thanks to The Lord Almighty, for He is good and His faithful love endures forever" Jeremiah 33:11b (PM Version)
So we keep on praying, asking God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 2 Thessalonians 1:11 (PM Version)
..........
Give thanks unto The Lord Almighty, for
each of the good things you've received from him
has come down from his hand, & yes there's more -
but other hands that help are sometimes dim..
& not so bright reflections of his hopes.
Good things are emanations from himself,
his children are good sheilas, & good blokes.
The secret to them creeps up like an elf:
it comes from being friends & hanging out
with their own father, growing more like Dad,
for though he can get mad, look like a lout,
he's really good, his faithful love's "not bad!" -
& it endures forever, never ends.
We keep on praying, asking God to grow
you up from inside, & as helping friends
can help you on the outside, if you know
what I mean, well it's this- enable you
to live a life that's worthy of His call.
For when he made you, sent you to this zoo,
that was your call to Wild Life, nothing small -
a Life that is not tamed by anything
except the Love between true family,
all those who have been born of God, who bring
his fam'ly feel to folk like you & me.
So may He give you pow'r to accomplish
all the good things your faith prompts you to do,
your new desires, now baptised by Jesus -
who washed our insides by his Spirit too.

Thanx for that Marty.
Yes. I am planning
to join the party.
God send your man in
to this world again,
we need your leader -
MAN amongst men
(we'll be a feeder
of his sheep he sends
to us with that need);
take care of loose ends -
both lambs, and his seed.
Jesus, your spirit,
the helper has come.
Oh, as we hear it
we aren't quite so dumb.
Your spirit, your mind,
your wisdom & pow'r,
please help us to find
our confidence now
not in this system,
our technology,
or mechanism,
as though they wil be
enough to cover
for our deathly lives.
You're Father/Mother
your Shallom thrives!

keep on as you began..
Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirits leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:25 (PM Version)
..........
Since we are following the one who'd do
much more than John who washed (in H2O);
the mighty one who "followed him", in lieu
of water, would clean deeper as he'd go
(& come), with spirit and also with fire.
That seems to be the mark of those who met
this Jesus, & had moved to life on higher
plains with the "living" water flowing yet
from their inmost self, making them "living";
their core is cleaned, like motives & desires,
their motive seems to be holy giving,
thus like seraphim's coals that come from fires
in holy altar somewhere in heaven,
when it touched those lips of old Isaiah's,
& seered them to be clean, pure, forgiven..
We're living by this Spirit (& these fires)!
So since our life has come from Jesus' Spirit
who's helping us to have his motives true,
let's follow up his leading - (you hear it?)
in every part of our lives, & thoughts too!

Marked Man
FEEDBACKS:
Wow! You all did well !
You must all be glad!
Best story to tell,
in both happy, sad
bits of it. KEEP ON
letting it into
your life here upon
God's good Earth (& Zoo).
Think Jesus would be
(even "was" right here)
glad. Now follow the
impulses he cheered!
.....................................
SECOND NIGHT
Ah, you've listened well & spoken truth out
On ya! People who have taken in the
story of this God's Messiah - no lout!
May it come out again throughout the week!

stymie timey ; squaller-tea quality ? (Part 2 of ?)
And now I'm thinking of the job He gave
the first ambassadors of his new rule,
to go and make communities who'd save
& show the life of Jesus Christ - the fool,
who'd let them mock & spit on him & hit
him, dress him up, then take his clothes right off,
he trusted God with every little bit
to vindicate him - raise him up aloft.
The timing was important in his life:
those kairos times in private, public too*,
they helped him cut through doubt just like a knife,
& helped him see what he'd call men to do.
* e.g.Mark 1:16, the first sign in Cana in speaking with Mary and responding to her faith, in going up to the temple after his faithless brothers had left, in calling Peter to walk to him on the water (Matt), in answering Nathaniel's taunts(John), & responding to the 4 who let their parslysed friend down in front of him(Mark 2), in castigating an awareness of weather propensities but not the times they lived in (Lk 12- end) etc...

purring boy with spurring joy!
kicked his toe, & in pain
cuddled Dad before bed,
was not sad, but 'nuff said...
Then slept soundly in bed
throughout all of the night.
When he woke up he said
"Yes", to milk, and a "flight"
from big tickling Daddy
around all of the house.
Who's "Goody" or "Baddy"?
We don't know but ours...
our ears are still ringing
not from sounds of singing
but from all that giggling
and otherwise jiggling!

a grand daughter
while (& after) holding he for the 1st time out of hospital
Polly Beth came to this earth,
Polly Beth brought joy and mirth.
Polly Beth came at her birth,
& Polly Beth is much more worth
than creatures which all are known
by their maker who has shown
creativity that's blown
out of sight, because her own
self is daughter of Yahweh,
who just is, & has this day
sent a Polly here our way,
so we sing, & so we say...
(back to first stanza... etc.)

Rejoice not in what you can do,

Rejoicing much in you know WHO!

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:18-20 KJV
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God – or rather are known by God – how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? Gal 4:8-9 NIVUK
But whoever loves God is known by God. 1Co 8:3 NIVUK

thanks for banks of joy- your boy!
Lord, thanks that you
are so full of mercy,
and that you do
hear & answer my prayers.
And Lord, thank you
for the path you've shown me ..
..your path goes to
more life, from life, on stairs..
.. which stairs, are you,
the gate, the door, & the
the way into
the life the Father shares
with children who
are made to be like he
whose joys renew,
replenish, in his pres-
ence joys aren't few,
but multiply so we
are brought into
(at his right hand) the pleas-
ures which are true
& grow eternally,
so we'll need new
bodies that do repairs,
that don't need food,
or drink, but can receive
immortal fuel
from you, & any-wheres!

Lord thank you that you are full of mercy and you do answer my prayers. Psalm 27:7 (PM Version)

what have we got? (faith or wraith)
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us certainty about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (PM Version)
..........
If faith's a confidence that hope-ens up
the future, so that what will come to pass:
is what one hoped would happen; opens up
more possibilities, & not a farce.
It's not related to a wishful thought,
for there's good reasons in behind that hope,
there's promises from good friends who have brought
a faithfulness along with words they spoke.
There may be planning, money put where mouth
is, life that's spent while waiting for good things,
& never scared of trav'lling north or south,
or east or west, and worKing with "timings".
And when you have such confidence of Good-
ness that can be expanded in friendship,
you see why Faith, & Hope, & Love, are stood
together, as legs on a stool won't tip,
& makes sitting stable if they're all there,
& if they're growing thicker, stronger too.
This kind of faith that grows in gardens where
companion plants of hope & love come through
brings with it a perfume that is delight
(or else a smell of death to some, it seems),
it brings a sense of certainty at night
the scents can tell things better than our dreams.
So not without good evidence is faith,
it takes into account the word of God
& won't prefer the story of a wraith,
it's eyes are opened to the world of God.

Friends away on a wedding aniversary trip....
Oh yes!
And may he bless
you two to do
what should
be done for good
to bloom 'n too,
to mul-
ti-ply not sul-
kil-y die. Who
will take
the bithday cake
for this quite new
crea-ture
like fur-ni-ture
that's come in view
since Jon
& Helen on
their wedding to
each oth-
er helped to shove
a T'wo-man who
is shy,
maybe that's why
it seems aloof,
into
this new world view,
creature from zoo.
This is
a birthday "kiss"
blown to the Two-
man which
was born in stitch
of time when you
gave up
yourselves to sup-
port others too.
