Autumn Song 2009

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His external power and Godhead......Romans 20:20



The leaves are almost gone and yet I still choke up in speechless awe marveling like a kid at Disney as I make the drive home from work through Mount Sinai around the Harbor onto my favorite storybook like street still in Autumn regalia. As if I had never seen Fall before! "But... Those leaves!" Natures Jewels on display pointing to our creative creator in brushstroking genius upon His Love Filled Creation Canvas. "And He saw that it was Good", whispers in the wind. These leaves seem to sing , welcoming me to join in their happy song. A happy little song bearing the sweetest melody. Happy To Die...... Happy to leave their branches. Happy to do their solitary free fall. Happy to plunge into the unknown;the wet abyss of mushy leaves below. Happy to leave what they know, what is comfortable, what provides nourishment....Happy to "Go Low,' Happy to do what they were created to do....Happy to become decay to bring forth new life.


But for the Joy set before Him, He endured......unto Death.
Our Savior sang the sweetest 'happy little death song,' there ever was. Heaven's Love Song. The Kingdom Song; A Song that spoke of a way.....His way, the way that always leads to life;His Life.He was happy to go low..The Incarnation....taking on the form of man..a servant of men..that He might purchase our lives and reunite us again with the Father. His melody can be heard even today in the sounds of Autumn.....rustling leaves singing a happy little death song, a song of joy, a song of identification. Come pick up your cross and follow me... let us sing that song in fullness of maturation like the leaves that fall and the grapes ready for press. "For since creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made."

When Patriotism Becomes Worship and We Don’t Even Notice

  https://baptistnews.com/article/when-patriotism-becomes-worship-and-we-dont-even-notice/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLYuSdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHp_DyT3kMbTGShsQLE2CBHujma7IgZdGW2mWRBFeeU8lOUruC4WCj1vgEFFL_aem_U7lr3050XPUiM7WLAs0pJg “When Patriotism becomes Worship and we don’t even notice.” So grateful to find this article I sort of think it found me laugh a lot. What other people do is none of my business but for years I’ve been wrestling with some of the trends and level of politics and patriotism within the church. . But this article speaks my language it resonates with my spirit and shares my concerns. So for now, all Is at rest and Jesus He’s The only answer. Maybe someone out there feels the same way I do. I hope this post finds you and this article encourages your heart like it did mine. You aren’t crazy  Pray 🙏 That’s why you see it the way you do.

Walked into an office this morning playing over the speakers was the  60’s classic song , Bridge over Troubled Water, by Simon and Garfunkel. Love it. Just in time for the last half ending that crescendos n swells beautifully. Common song, heard it a gazillion times but this time I Sat quietly and really listened.  Like a Bridge over Troubled Water I will lay me down, Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind.  No not a Christian song …..but worshipping Jesus regardless. Reminded again how Christ through his redemption on Calvary paid the ultimate price and  was Himself the bridge who laid Himself down so I can be at peace with God. I have all access to the throne of grace because of the blood of the Lamb shed for me. Once I was at enmity with God enemies antagonistic but now He calls me Friend.(Colossians 1:21, John 15:13) And because of His Amazing love, sacrifice and Resurrection I can live in His strength today, I can live with joy and hope in the m...

Just Thinkin’

 A friend posted this meme below today and I it stirred some thoughts:  "Stop blaming women for falling for the wrong men. The truth is, some men pretend to be someone they're not from the start." My counselor years ago said something so wise: When people begin their relationships, they are on their best behavior. It takes time to see what people are really made of. It takes time to observe How people react when they’re under pressure , how they deal with their anger,  how they speak to people, how they talk about people. How they speak about the Lord. What do they do with their time and their money. What is the substantive character of that individual? Sometimes in the midst of the feelings and wanting to be in love, I think most of us wear rose colored glasses. We see people the way we wanna see them. But if we get past those Gush feelings and really hear their hearts it is there it really is ….who they truly down deep are. I look back on previous relationsh...
