• Jun. 2, 2008 - Our Faith : A Poem

Our Faith is as the mightiest of trees, Who's roots have remained for centuries, The roots were formed in Abram's time, By will and power of our God Divine, Grown solid and firm the branches preserve, The body meant to teach and serve, The leaves represent the leaders who, Kept our faith and perservered thru, Ages pass yet ever has remained, The saving faith constant, unchanged. I hope you all liked this poem. I was inspired by God. Please keep in mind throughout your day that God has build up a tree full of many wise Christians (leaves) and a sturdy body, the church (or branches) that we young believers (shoots and buds) can go to for help in our walk. Boy...is God good! ~Lexi

• Apr. 24, 2008 - Pass-over Poem

You, Oh God are alive! You do not sit idle on your throne! You keep a steady lookout over your people, Throughout the earth you keep watch, You watch now as you watched long ago, In the time of Israel's oppression you gazed, You saw the Egyptians with their bitting whips, You saw the Egyptians inslave your children, And because you are merciful, you saved them, By your hand you delievered Israel, You proved your strength over and over, Ten times did you rebuked Egypt, Yet our wing was spread across Israel, You saved Israel.      Hello everyone! I did this poem in honor of the Pass-over that took place last weekend. Even if you don't practice The Pass-over it is a great thing to know a little about.     Everyone knows the story of the Ten Plagues of Egypt. How the Egyptians enslaved God's people and how God delt with them. He used the plagues to help set his people free but also to show his power. His Holy power must have wowed most of Egypt! However we all know that pharoah wouldn't give up the slaves. Then the final plague happened. The first-born of every family was to die. To protect His people, God had his children spread Goat's blood on their door-posts. Well...anyway this last plague finally hit home to the Egyptian ruler and he let Israel go. The Pass-over is held to remember that night of delieverence. In fact, God commanded it to be celebrated. Now the whole P.O meal has symbolism, but I don't know all of those things, but please look it up in the Bible and internet and reserch it. I love all you guys. Remember God is good! Bye

• Mar. 21, 2008 - Purim-Feast Day of Esther

You all know from time to time I'll make an exception on this poetry blog and post in 'common' sentences; so today I'm doing a little tribute on Purim: the Jewish feast-day of Queen Esther. I'm not Jewish, but my church and my family like to study about and sometimes celebrate the Old Testament holidays. This year Purim is on the 21st of March. It is to comemorate when Esther stood up for her people.   Esther 9:23-28 Purim Celebrated  23 So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them. 24 For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the pur (that is, the lot) for their ruin and destruction. 25 But when the plot came to the king's attention, [a] he issued written orders that the evil scheme Haman had devised against the Jews should come back onto his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. 26 (Therefore these days were called Purim, from the word pur .) Because of everything written in this letter and because of what they had seen and what had happened to them, 27 the Jews took it upon themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should without fail observe these two days every year, in the way prescribed and at the time appointed. 28 These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never cease to be celebrated by the Jews, nor should the memory of them die out among their descendants.

• Dec. 19, 2007 - A Great Shout

Let shouts ring across the land! Let trumpets sound from city gate to gate For a great love is born today! A light is glowing in the world, a light not found in all the stars, A light so clear night becomes day, A Holy Light, shinning from a stable, A light not followed by Magi's, But a light they met resting in a cradle, The Light sent from God Let the heavens shout "Who is Faithful" and let the stars reply "The Lord is Faithful!" Let the mute praise God and the blind see his light! For our God is a Lord of Wonders! Our King is brimming in Joy! The Holy Joy! Let the waves of ocean's splash in glee, Let woodland beasts chatter in praise, Let trees bow in admiration, LET A GREAT SHOUT ECHO THE EARTH! Let children bow and kneel in praise, Let kings admire and glorify God! Let us all jump and call out, "the Lord is faithful, his promises are fulfilled! Let us dance for His light is now come to earth! Let adoration flow from our mouths, let jubilee sound from our stomping feet. Come fellow people and feast for God is good, let us give to the poor as God has given to us!" Let this GREAT SHOUT ECHO THE EARTH!

• Dec. 15, 2007 - A Tribute to the Babe wrapped in Swaddling Cloths

A Light is shinning among filthy rags, A King is seated on splintered wood, A Prophet is teaching with wailing cries, A Hope is born tonight A dirty baby is heralded by hosts, A mere, thin boy presented with gold, A squirming form is bathed in perform, A Lord is born tonight A servant is found in a young girl, A worthy man in a carpenter, A royal welcome party is found in sheperds, Their Creator is born tonight Our Heavenly Lord we rejoice in this time and we praise you for your love! May all we bloggers do honor you today! Praise be you Lord! For you give and take away, thank you for giving us eternal life when you could have taken it. AMEN
