Whispers in the Dus t Original Poem written by the Creator Where golden towers pierce the sky, And coffers overflow, a silent cry. The widow's mite, a tear-stained plea, Lost in the echoes of prosperity. The scales of justice tipped and swayed, Where power reigns, and truth's betrayed. The righteous voice, a fragile thread, By worldly clamor, left for dead. The shepherd's crook, a gilded hook, While hungry wolves, their flocks destroy. The feast is set, the wine is poured, But empty plates, forever ignored. A whisper rises from the dust, Saying , "God is just enough." Though shadows fall, and darkness reigns, His light will break and loose the chains. The seeds of greed bear their fruit, A bitter harvest, absolute. But mercy's rain, a cleansing tide, Will wash the stains where truth has died.

   Perils of corrupt leadership   Reflections on Power, Greed, and Justice Government corruption is not only rampant in foreign countries but is  taking form in the United States of America, and can be an analogy for the wickedness and lawlessness prevalent today. Like unchecked sin festered in Sodom and Gomorrah, corruption can fester in governing bodies, leading to societal decay and injustice . It reflects a more profound spiritual malaise-lack of connection, a turning away from God's principles of righteousness and justice. Think of a city built on a foundation of sand. It may look impressive, but will crumble and fall when the storms come. Similarly, a government built on corruption, where leaders prioritize personal gain over the people they serve. Where justice is perverted, and where the vulnerable are exploited, is a house built on sand. It may hold power for a while, but it is ultimately destined for collapse.

Image of A Destroyed City We must ask ourselves: can we see echoes of Sodom in our world today? Abraham's Plea The destruction of two cities simultaneously is not a tale we tell for amusement or to indulge in morbid curiosity. Instead, it is a story of divine judgment etched in the landscape of history: the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked sin and a powerful testament to god mercy.  The story in Genesis 18 and 19 paints a grim picture of two cities steeped in wickedness. Abraham, a righteous man, intercedes with God, pleading that the cities be spared if even a handful of righteous souls could be found in Glimmer of Hope. God, in His mercy, agrees.  Two angels are sent to  Sodom not to rain down fire immediately but to investigate the city's actual state.                                  Rotten Apples    A Polluted Ci ty ...

Finding Your Peace Written by Creator Breathe deep;  breathe, the world can wait; Allow peace to guide you into a meditative state. Listen to your heartbeat. External noises will fade away. So, breathe as your spirit settles; Find your center, a quiet place; calm the mind, where worries sleep. As tensions softly start to cease. Relax and find your inner peace. Whispers in the quiet air, Ah, meditation's gentle prayer. Thoughts like clouds drift slowly by, Calm descends from the azure sky. Release the grip of anxious hold; Now, slowly exhale and let go. The present moment, clear and bright, Meditation's guiding light. No past to haunt, no future  call, Calm embrace, encompassing all. Find solace in the here and now. Be still and know that God is God, Let your spirit breathe. ***************************************************************** Final Thoughts 💬 One day, as I was going through a personal crisis, it seemed like peace was nowhere to be found. At that moment, I o...

        Things Above-Meet the Here and Now! Imagine a tightrope walker. You see them poised high above the ground, seemingly fearless. But you don't see the countless hours of practice, the near falls, and the constant adjustments. Life can feel like that tightrope, especially in your 20s and 30s. Yes, the world stretched before you, a vast and sometimes terrifying landscape of possibilities. It's a season of immense potential, where career paths are twisting and turning, and relationships are blossoming. You have dreams, anxieties of the unknown, and the burning desire to figure it all out. It's a prime time for feeling lost in the shuffle but also a time for significant growth.

"And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; the second is love thy neighbor as thyself."  Luke 10:27 (NKJV) @My GPS Is Broken Life often feels like a winding road, full of unexpected turns and detours. Although we may have a general destination, the path is rarely straightforward. In these moments of uncertainty, it's easy to rely on our limited understanding and navigate by the flickering lights of our limited wisdom. Is there a better way, a more reliable guide? Yes. Let Faith Be Your Compass!    The Bible offers profound wisdom for navigating Life's journey. Jesus summarizes the essence of the faith: Luke 10:27 (NKJV) "And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; the second is love thy neighbor as thyself." This framework resonates deeply...

   @The Foundation  " In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.  And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."   (Genesis 1:1-3  NKJV). Since the beginning of creation, words have been the building blocks of our realities, the instruments of our deepest desires, and the vessels of our most profound beliefs. They can heal physical and spiritual wounds, inspire, and destroy. In the tapestry of human existence, words weave a complex narrative, shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Words are tools for communication; they can illuminate our thoughts while simultaneously casting long, ominous shadows filled with hidden meanings and unintended consequences. Just as individuals embody both light and darkness, so too do words. They can uplift and empower but also manipulat...
