Lost Sheep

In truth, we should make our decisions
in meekness, judge those we accuse
amongst us, let's not have divisions
with conscience clear, don't false accuse
Through history, we see what's happened
what power abused brought us to
they've ignored the laws God made for us
not much worse to Earth could they do
The rich will receive their full payment
for wealth that they stole from us all
mismanaged the health of the planet
greed without constraint cause their fall
They think we'll believe all their lying
consume the whole pie - leave us crust
we are, they believe, naive children
they think that in them we will trust
With wars, they paint our brothers evil
false patriots wage conflicts of hate
try to, with deception, deceive us
they'll join the devil in his fate
For your and God's sake, don't hate like them
like soulless blasphemers they are
restore the misguided to our Lord
bring God's lost sheep back from afar

' He who says he is in the light
and hates his brother
is in darkness until now
He who loves his brother
abides in the light
and there is no cause
for stumbling in him
But he who hates his brother
is in darkness and walks in darkness
and does not know where he is going
because the darkness has blinded his eyes'
- 1 John 2:9, 10, 11

' Do not love the world
or things in the world
If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him
For all that is in the world -
the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life -
is not of the Father
but is of the world
And the world is passing away
and the lust of it;
but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Little children, it is the last hour;
and as you have heard
that the Antichrist is coming
even now many antichrist have come,
by which we know
that it is the last hour'
'They went out from us,
but they were not of us
for if they had been of us,
they would have continued with us;
but they went out that they might be made manifest,
that none of them were of us.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One,
and you know all things.'
- 1 John 2:15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20

'No temptation has overtaken you
except such as is common to man;
but God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you are able,
but with the temptation
will also make the way of escape,
that you may be able to bear it.
Therefore, my beloved,
flee from idolatry'
- 1 Corinthians 10:13, 14

'Let no one seek his own,
but each one the other's well-being'
- 1 Corinthians 10:24

'Imitate me,
just as I also imitate Christ'
- 1 Corinthians 11:1

All references are from the New King James version of the Bible

NOTE:
Anything or anyone you love more than God and Christ
is a false god and idolatry

THE most touching, romantic moment in the movies - ever

The 1950 release of ' Cyrano de Bergerac ' (Jose Ferrer)

About 15 minutes into the movie, after Cyrano defeats a rival in a sword fight,
a fair, young maiden overhears Cyrano confide to his friend he is broke,
to which the maiden replies ' Sir, a man need not go hungry - I have food here for you
to eat' - to which Cyrano replies 'I could not, but for fear that I might offend you,
I will have something' - he then takes a single grape, a half of a cookie and a glass
of water - to which the maiden replies ' Nothing else, sir? '
And then Cyrano says ' Why, yes - your hand to kiss '
And she completely swoons, clutching her kissed hand as if gold and says ' Thank you, sir - and good night '

And if you can watch this compelling scene without swooning yourself ,
you need to work on your romantic genes - it is overwhelmingly powerful!!

I have watched this cinematic masterpiece a hundred times (won the Academy Award)
and it still gives me chills ( and I'm all man)
Do yourself a favor and borrow, buy or steal a copy
and share it with friends - you will be SO glad you did ( Let me know if you do) - Bill

Love Share

We have one chance
to give and share
one life to show
for Love we care
One hope we have
one chance to give
Love clearly is
the life to live
You must be ready
your chance will come
give Love to add
to your love sum
It's hard to find
Love in this world
wrapped 'round themselves
their love they've curled
Too many have
kept Love within
they don't know how
to let Love begin
Not to give Love
is a great sin
share Love to have
a chance to win

Reward or Sword

These rich and selfish slugs
cursed by their own greed
crave for all the money
far more than they need
Belligerent b4stards
quickly towards hell rush
right wing fascist nazis
our Lord God will flush
They legalize murder
inhumane their deed
These 'neuts' should be neutered
scary when they breed
They are heartless low-lifes
a blight of our times
they are racist killers
guilty of hate crimes
They're addicts of power
that's what they live for
rape the world for profit
rob food from the poor
They crown themselves heroes
terrorists all the rest
thank God we're not like them
not condemned but blessed
Don't be evil like them
be of Love accord
be perfect like Jesus
love as did our Lord
Love will go to heaven
hate has it's reward
good receives Christ's blessings
bad slain by God's sword

Love Path

You can be just so happy
without your other half
not when your life's flag is flying
only at half-staff
The highs and lows of Love I've lived
must I chart you a graph?
Love's penalties and costs I've paid
I'll let you do the math
You can't live without Love's pain
about this please don't laugh
you won't get a Love warning
from Love no telegraph
I plunged in - immersed myself
I've had the whole Life bath
so happy that I took Love's road
I followed this Love path
I've been through all Love can do
lived through Love's joy and wrath
nothing like Love furious
no fury like Love hath
- 2012 -


I'm off to the snowy forest
to duel with giant dead oaks
to fuel my wood burner.
I hope I make it back alive (very dangerous work)
Have an awesome one, my fish friends - God bless & keep U & urz - Bill

Death for Life

Some people you try to
treat kindly and soft
but they just grunt at you
like pigs at their trough
You tell them they're Godless
to fake gods they kneel
the Lord God we pray to
to them don't appeal
You tell them they're liars
they deny and squeal
as thieves you expose them
but they want to steal
You lead them to Jesus
but to them not real
they could live forever
but Love they won't feel
These hogs choose to be goats
God's lambs they are not
in sin they love living
like dead pigs they'll rot
Those pigs in filth wallow
reject Love for strife
this world is their false god
they chose death for life
- 2012 -

Time is running out -
choose to live by repenting of mistakes we've all made - Bill

Even on
the darkest night
a single star
will shine so bright
The dark as is
all wrongs and lies
that single star
with truth defies
The blackness is
most everywhere
but at that star
for truth we'll stare

Love Ship

To you who are selfish
yourselves you think of
you think you're romantic
but you're empty of Love
You'll love on your own
your cryptic thoughts think
those lies you believe in
at yourself don't blink
You hope someone loves you
at your self-love wink
but alone you'll end up
love-less wine you'll drink
You'll look back on your life
see with Love you failed
the Love you now long for
is Love's ship that's sailed
The Love that you wasted
love you thought not of
that lost love convicts you
from the Lord above
- 2012 -

Please don't blow it -
all love is precious -
even from someone like me - Bill

Love Life Again

I do love all of you
all of you my friend
care for you more than me
don't let your life end
You should love your whole life
real Love - not pretend
hate will shorten your days
Love your days extend
The world's moving from Love
don't follow that trend
don't fall into that fire
in hell don't descend
Wish not to upset you
in no way offend
just want to love with you
with you in life blend
Your life to me precious
Love to you I'll lend
I'll give all my days to you
my life on you spend
Let's move from what's selfish
to others needs attend
move your life towards living
life of Love again
- 2012 -

My fish friends,
I, like you, get distracted by all the world's bull (once in a while)
Let's stay focused on Love
and the other great things worth living (and dying) for - Bill

My dear friends,
Please read 1 Corinthians 13 (the Love chapter)
again and again
until it sinks permanently into the core of your soul -
It will save your life in this world - and the next - Bill

Truth or Lies

All that you believe in
each truth and each lie
will be judged by God's Son
Christ come from the sky
Our Lord knows who suffers
for Him those who cry
He'll save those who love Him
those who hate Him die
This life you've been given
in this world you're tried
will you be forgiven
or in hell's fire fried
Have you heard God calling
the gospel of Paul
or has your 'religion'
shrunk God's Truth so small
Do you know your value
how much is at stake
will you live eternal
or drown in fire lake
Join God's Holy Family
or with satan die
live with those who love truth
death dooms those who lie
- 2012 -

NOTE:
The gospel of Paul begins with his conversion (Acts - New Testament) from Saul,
a murderer of Christians, when Christ Himself comes down from heaven
and appoints him (Paul) the apostle of the gentiles (non-jewish)
The gospel of Paul IS the gospel of Jesus Christ ( Romans through Philemon -
New Testament)
This is a fact that many Christians are unaware of!

What it is -

America has legalized corruption
It rewards criminals and punishes their victims
Your president issues orders for assassination of American citizens
without trial (he will have his day in a higher court)
The Supreme Court and all courts down to the lowest level
have been bought off with rich man and corporate money
Justice is dead in this country
and the powers that be will murder anyone and anything
that stands in their way
as they march towards absolute power and authority
with the goal of total enslavement of the human race
to serve their foul and evil plans of ruining the planet for profit.
That's the bad news -
the good news is that God is sending Christ soon
to cut short and destroy His enemies -
all those who hate
all those who destroy
all those who murder
all those who serve their father, satan the devil
'Legal' to evil men is illegal to God - and He will judge righteously
Don't serve the beast -
Suffer the pain of standing for justice
suffer but do not serve evil
God will reward you with eternal life and happiness later
Watch - He is coming very soon - Amen

Super (Natural) Glue

Too many pied pipers
in numbers they swell
like snakes they are vipers
lead gullibles to hell
Some are so well-meaning
but from truth they fell
they go 'round in circles
- endless carousel
Those others are liars
deception they sell
by their deeds you'll know them
in darkness they dwell
Those mislead false leaders
will mislead you, too
if you do the evils
they tell you to do
Don't be dumb like satan
from the Lord he grew
with wings that God gave him
from heaven he flew
Hold fast to Christ Jesus
in all that you do
adhere to the Lord God
- supernatural glue

A couple of quotes:

' Women everywhere should start
a world-wide revolution.
They should say to men
you've screwed up the world,
now let us fix it'.
- Desmond Tu Tu

'Half the people is this country (USA) are women -
but only 17 % are in American government.
That ranks 71 st in the world - 35 places below Iraq'

Love Alone

The Love that you don't have
is Love that you can't give
the Love you threw away
without you won't long live
You love only yourself
your type of love is vain
that's not love but selfish
morphs to eternal pain
One day you will wake up
dead in a loveless zone
none will ever love you
because your heart is stone
So much you will suffer
you'll ache and cry and groan
your mirror reflects the truth
you'll love you all alone

Love's End

For sin you chose
to leave my life
you did not want
to stay my wife
For two decades
we ebbed and flowed
lived ups and downs
loved highs with lows
Love you more now
than I did then
I should have been
a better friend
I should have loved
you so much more
I would have if
I'd known before
Life starts to fade
shook to my core
since Love and you
walked out our door
I die slowly
paying grief's cost
slowly I trace
our moments lost
When I lost you
my love and friend
I learned that I
won't love again
I've gone inside
my heart won't mend
goodbye my love
I'm at my end

My dear fish friends,
please forgive my redundancy -
but refuse to hate.
Treat anger, bitterness and resentment
like rabid mad dogs -
bury them deep in the grave of extinction, forever -
never to raise their ugly heads in your life again!
Raise no ire or weapon against anyone.
Remember what Jesus said -
' That which you do to the least of mine,
you have done it unto me'
Empathize and sympathize with your brothers and sisters.
Have mercy and compassion for the least of us.
' Didn't the Lord make the sun to shine
and the rain to fall on us all equally?'
' Isn't your enemy only your brother mistaken?'
' When you hate your brother/sister
who is made in God's Image that you see,
how can you say you love God,
whom you have not seen?'
Aren't we all His Holy creation
traveling on different roads of life
but all leading to God's Presence at end?
Love forgives a myriad of sins -
so first, above all other things,
Love God and then your brothers and sisters.
Love and forgive -
so that you will be loved and forgiven.


Please read and believe
1 Corinthians 13 ( the Love chapter )

God bless and keep all of you - Bill

Quote from Mitt Romney ( Republican Presidential candidate) yesterday -

' I don't care about the poor '

which is in direct conflict with God
about how we should feel about the poor -

but he was just honestly reflecting the true feelings
of the Republican hierarchy (and most 'haves' in America today)

You Are My Life

Last night again
of you I dreamed
as tears for you
down my face streamed
I've tried so hard
from you to grow
not possible
I didn't know
Could not fathom
that forever
I'd be with you
- just not together
Every moment
for you I cry
eternally
I slowly die
I will not live
alone this way
can't bear this pain
not one more day
Forever I
will just love you
no matter what
I must go through
You'll always be
to me a wife
so deep in me
you are my life

Eternal Connection

These war-monging schemers
make our world a wreak
God will put His Heel on
their satanic neck
They'll try to destroy Earth
- cause of hate's effect
but Christ will restore it
He is God's elect
There is not anything
that He won't inspect
no atoms anywhere
that He will neglect
He will show us His Way
us towards Love direct
we'll, at last, be with Him
with our God connect

Two Loves ( inner and outer )

A beautiful face
is so very nice
but if they are vain
you'd better think twice
Look deep in their heart
you must be precise
know who their soul is
would be my advise
Beauty and days go by
looks, like years, will fade
love inward - not outward
more than a fair trade
Give them all your love
hope time won't degrade
pray love you've invested
for them was well-made
But if they leave you
your love be betrayed
know if they'd true loved you
with you they'd have stayed
- 2012 -

NOTE:
It's better to be true
and find out they're not
than waste any more
of your precious love
on someone disloyal and unfaithful
