Subtle caress of dawning’s yellow light / Accentuates the landscape; / In the day’s beginning, hope and joy embrace: / There’s opulence here. / I stretch my arms to infinite bliss, / To full, white, heady blossoms in laughing bouquet. / Mine is this day, to do with as I please. / Each mindful moment moves me / To the beat of my heart, / To the centre of my soul. / Wild, bold, glorious imaginings now manifest. / A blackbird soars, / His delirious song erupting / Into the welcoming air. / My stalwart friend the sun climbs heaven high / And warms to my purpose. / Beauty of creation, splendid, shining / In the eyes of my love, / Permeates my existence. / Dear God! / Praise be for this morning / At one with You.
As I grow older, I hope and pray that I can do so with grace; I see so many elderly folks in my part of the country and they are so angry…
As I grow older, I hope and pray that I can do so with grace; I see so many elderly folks in my part of the country and they are so angry appearing; God grant me the power to grow old gracefuly and with dignity!

Hello. I was a bit defeated when I went to church today. I had been asked not to display my cards in the church because if one does all have to be treated the same. I was slightly crushed but knew that God would open something for my work. THEN at end of wonderful service a member came to me and has commissioned me to do a painting for his new book. OUT of the blue and immediate answer to prayer. Thank you LORD.WOWWWWWWWWWW PPS I am a new member of BUBBLE!!!!

Well, it had to happen sooner or later; a church—who shall remain nameless, after viewing my lascivious work is fully convinced that I am going to hell, unless…I turn my life around and start using my talents for God and planting seeds for Jesus. So there is no misunderstanding for anyone who wishes to jump on that band-wagon, and condemn me for the work that I do, here is my view concerning an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and all-loving deity, that doesn’t make mistakes. I trust that I won’t have to repeat myself again, and I apologize in advanced to any ears or eyes that I make bleed with my diatribe, or individuals that I otherwise would not intentionally offend with my belief-structure, until it is challenged by someone else’s that I may not be in agreement with; sometimes even I cannot let accusations and condemnations fall off of me like water down a duck’s back. I after all do have feelings, even if my feelings don’t necessarily coincide with those who condemn me… My reply to the church went like this: I don’t necessarily believe that I have a purpose in life, or for that matter, have any reason to be living at all… Furthermore… At the age of seventeen I sacrificed everything I had for a closer walk with God; I gave up dreams and aspirations that apparently weren’t conducive to the church; I left friends and loved ones at the request of my pastors because the people were not living according to God’s word; I even gave up a wondrous relationship with a beautiful young woman, who thought the sun rose and set upon me, and that I had hung the stars that all might be encouraged to good works; I let this relationship go, along with my opportunity to be a psychoanalyst (that is what they were called in the 80s) because according to my pastors, I was being tempted like David with Bathsheba—though the young woman had no other man, and only had eyes for me. I lived seven years in that church which professed the Love of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Fruits of the Spirit therein. Four years later I was living on the streets, for four years! There was no recognition of any seeds that I might have planted then, and there hasn’t been any recognizable reciprocation for a heart that had broken more times than any young man’s heart should have to break. If I had been doing something wrong for those seven years of wasted life I would have certainly appreciated a divine head’s up, so that I might be shown what it was. Now I recognize God’s love and glory in this light; any father that would have his son brutalized, nailed naked to a cross, with a crown of thorns on his head, and vinegar to drink when he professed to be thirsty, to show his love for me and/or the world; would have done better to nail my favorite cat to my front door. I find God’s love, or lack thereof, to be nothing short of barbaric. It’s interesting how we celebrate the birth of the King of the world every year, yet no one cares to remember all the babes that were slaughtered at the hand of Herod while trying to find the Christ. I’m sure that the mothers and fathers of these babes were beside themselves, knowing that the Christ was born that night, and all they had to do was witness the light of their life slaughtered before their eyes. Is it then that God’s divine love and glory can only be revealed through an act that is insidious, diabolical, or otherwise horrendous? If this is true, then I would just as soon save any more seeds I have, or any unrequited love, devotion, and/or glory for the next less psychotic God that comes along. God has done nothing for me, save show me how cruel the world can be to those living on the edge of the night, or otherwise seem to believe that it is somehow better than those living on the edge of the night… My intentions are now to be a successful writer, that I might have a chain of homeless shelters that could in fact alleviate the Homeless Situation in our country. But I don’t do it for kudos in Heaven. And I sure as spit don’t expect to receive any assistance from God no matter how noble others might feel my actions are. In this God is manifested in the minds of those exhibiting mass-hysteria; and if He didn’t want me to see the Big Picture in this Light, He had about twenty years to reveal otherwise. God and His love therein have turned out to be the big disappointment of my entire life. I hope that He is happy now. But evidence suggests that nothing truly ever makes God happy, without there first being a paramount display of misery…

I wanted to share a little something special that happened to me today with my dear friends on RB to show the love, kindness and charity of one lovely lady. As some of you know, I use to be a singer/songwriter/musician. I went to America for 3 years, recorded a CD and performed successfully all over the southern States. I had so many opportunities to hit the big time and yet every single one always fell through in some way or another. When you sink your heart and soul, your every single moment working, practising, learning, writing, playing and performing and have some of the biggest and most respected people in the business believe in you and still nothing happens because you won’t compromise your morals and faith then it takes it’s toll. It did on me anyway. When I returned home in 2004 I gave it all up. I had no more heart in me to go on with my music and I stopped. I’ve never even gotten up and sung in Church which is the only place I now want to sing. I just can’t find it in me to do it. And when my electric piano gave up on me I lost even more heart. I still have my treasured guitar but haven’t touched it in a long time. Then today I found hope again. One amazingly special lady who has a full sized synthesizer, brand new, looked me in the eye and said “if you still want it, it’s yours. Just paint me a painting for it.” And I was left speechless. I know exactly what I want to do too. I can arrange music and it’s been in my heart to arrange the Church Hymns into songs full of soul, life and meaning. I want to sing the Hymns as my heart and soul hear them but first I have to learn them, then arrange them and then record them at my friends professional studio. So for the first time in some years, I feel that maybe all those years of not feeling ever quite good enough, after giving up for the pain and grief I have been carrying, maybe, just maybe, God has shone a light on me to tell me that He wants me to use this gift He’s given me. Maybe, just maybe, He has shown me how He wants me to use my gift and that He never intended for me to live the life that I thought I wanted, but instead, was keeping me for His purpose, not my own. In closing I just want to say that I would like my friends to see that even when we give up on ourselves…He never, ever gives up on us…..I love God with all my heart and I always will….....may He hold all of you in His loving arms as well… Tahnja
