Amplify Poem Revised (because no poem is finished; it's just the latest version)

Looking for Love

(a poem for all my “kids”)

 

bombarded by lies this world would have you buy…

like you need to be coupled, you’re nothing without a guy,

or sex equals love, buy her dinner and she’ll get the clue.

but there is much involved they purposely don’t tell you.

the promises of sex are empty and void;

there’s pain, hurt and damage we should want to avoid.

sex is not a handshake, a fist bump, a high five…

it’s soul to soul contact

where’s there is a lasting impact

long after the moment is gone.

you are precious jewels, one and all,

more valuable than someone’s play doll.

Jesus fulfills more than any on earth.

don’t sell yourself short; he sees your true worth.

His joy is greater and lasts forever.

His love is larger and never ends.

while this world offers love with conditions and strings,

God’s love does not depend on what you do or what you bring.

you don’t have to fear what’s on your slate

for there is nothing He can’t exonerate.

leave the fire in the fireplace,

but remember God’s got grace.

He will always love you

And guess what? i will too.

Bigger Problems

I may not be okay but seriously there are far, far bigger problems in the world.   From the devastating earthquake in Haiti, to the tight Connecticut race for Kennedy's old Senate seat, to Health Care reform, to Paula Abdula not being a judge on American Idol this season...  Okay maybe the last one isn't that earth-shattering.  I might get lynched by a couple friends who watch it but I'll take my chances. Part of me is kicking myself for being so selfish and self centered lately.  Who cares if I'm depressed?  Or I don't feel like myself? There are families with loved ones serving in the military in dangerous places around the world.  There are kids and families on the streets, around the world and in the U.S. that don't know when they're next meal will be or how they will survive another cold winter night without shelter.  There are children who have no father or mother; they both died from AIDS, or cancer, or a drunk driver hit their car. How dare I s...

Always with the new beginnings

Wow. A lot can change in a couple months. My first year in Bible Study Fellowship is now over. It's weird. I'm sad to be losing my discussion group. They're a wonderful collage of women from whom I have learned much. They've made me laugh, they've touched my soul and shown me perspectives I could never truly imagine on my own. In another week and half, my ladies Bible study group on Wednesday, which I lovingly nickname my McDanell study, will be finishing up our current book called The Cycles of Victorious Living by Earl and Hazel Lee. It's a good book and I would recommend it. A little birdie called the church bulletin, informed me the Wednesday night group would study Hebrews next. I hope that is true--I'm ready for digging into a book of the Bible study. Lastly, my small group has started a new book. (Yes, I was in three Bible studies this winter. No, I'm probably not doing that again). The book is something Dave L. was reading and thought we'd...
