When You’re Abused

When you are abused
left battered and bruised

Of betrayal are accused
control is being  used

All truth is refused
and again you’re abused

 

Their power over you
affects what you do

Distorts point of view
of the world too

Scars you all through
dictating what you do

 

How did it begin?
Gotta be a sin

Hell you live in
no freedom to win

Cry amidst the din
Isn’t it a sin?

 

To all those around
pretending sane and sound

Feel you’re being drowned
into the dirt ground

No beauty being found
you die without a sound!

I’ll Be Your Teddy Bear

I’ll be your teddy bear
you be my funky monkey

You can hug me anywhere
I don’t care who’ll see

All that you can spare
just give them to me

‘Cause I’m your teddy bear
all my hugs are free!

Say “I Do”

Please take my hand
come with me walk

Together we will share
laughter as we talk

I promise to give
all of my life

When I marry you
forever be your wife

I promise to give
to you my everything

When we do exchange
the banded wedding ring

I promise to love
and forever cherish you

And vow before God
when I say “I do”

Not until death does
from the other part

Will I release your hand
’cause you hold my heart!

A Laugh For Your Saturday Via My Eldest Daughter

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: ‘Talking Dog For Sale ‘ He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.‘You talk?’ he asks. ‘Yep,’ the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says ‘So, what’s your story?’

The Lab looks up and says, ‘Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.’
‘I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.’ ‘I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.’

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

‘Ten dollars,’ the guy says.

‘Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?’

‘Because he’s a liar. He never did any of that crap.

New E-Mail From My Mother – “If My People…” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Subject:2 Chronicles 7:14 – please read

 

> I remember reading about the children of Israel who turned from God
> time and time again, only to realize their mistake and pray for
> forgiveness. Each time, God would forgive them and they would walk
> with him for a time. So, I am going to ask you to join me in praying
> for our nation every day. Please read the email below. God is in
> control.

When I was in Atlanta last week, there were signs in people’s yards
> that said, ” America , prayer is our only hope” – with 2 Chronicles
> 7:14 underneath.. We certainly need God’s help!

> After a day of contemplation and soul searching, I have decided to
> reach out to my friends and relatives and ask you to do something
> that has been troubling me for a long time.> Our nation is/has been on the slippery slope for a long time. If you
> look around you will find corruption, greed, moral decay, and a
> steady move away from the things that made us great. The principles
> upon which this nation was founded are no longer our backbone.
> However, we can reverse this trend.> 2 Chronicles. 7:14 in God’s Word, He states,
> “If my people who are called by my name
> will humble themselves and pray
> and seek my face and turn from their
> wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven
> and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
> I am convinced that we must pray for our nation and its leaders and
> ask for forgiveness. So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord.

> Would you please send this to people in your address book? Ask them to pray EVERY DAY. (25 to the 5th power is 9,765,625 people.)
> IMAGINE if each person reaches TEN others… Or all TWENTY FIVE!

> If you do and they comply, we will lift up millions and millions of
> prayers each day to our Creator. He will hear us, and in faith will
> answer.

> Here’s a quote from Ronald Reagan:
> “If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be
>  a nation gone under..”
> I truly believe this is why the United States of America is in the

> Most people have forgotten that we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD! Let us as Christians stand up and remind people of this.
