LOVER OF LIGHT















Walk in the Light,
Think in the
Light,
Keep in the
Light.

At any given moment,
You're either in
Darkness -
Or you're in the
Light...

At any given moment,
Make your
Choice.

From the beginning,
It was all about Choice.
It's still all about Choice.

INNER FACE

















by Jocelyne Sade


Come to the place
Where there's no trace
Of the harried pace,
the pointless race,
the hardened face.

Come into His ways,

Where there's abundant Grace,
In the Light of His Face...


Where God is Always.
Always, Always,
Good.

Me? Brainwashed?









Oh - I wouldn't have it any other way!


Why, do you have ANY idea where my
thoughts
take me at times? You may not,
but I do.







Aside from the immoral,
hateful
or
revengeful
thoughts that come...
and
thoughts of depression
or despair...










come the suggestions that I
cling to this
world...

"Eat, drink and be merry!"
"Be the center of your world!"

as though I am all that matters.

Brainwashed?
I welcome it!

"Washed by the water of the Word..."
Bring it on... open the Flood Gates!


















That I might think like He thinks,

in every situation.

And that I might realize,
without Him, all is sheer vanity.

So, shower me with Your Word, Oh God...

And make You the center of my world.
You, Who loves me so!
knows me most!
and forgives me over and over and over...











My brother, Christian, and I in Long Beach, California.

Fear Not!!!


















Fear destroys power.
Fear steals victory,
says "run and hide",
says "I can't", "I won't", "I mustn't!"
Fear talks too much.
Fear is a big fat bully.
Don't let it bully you.

Perfect Love casts out fear.

(Ha! What Love???
Fear surrounds me, and pounds me.
I'm as the woman caught in adultery.
And I can't even get up.
I'm tired.
I'm afraid.

Many mock and say -
Where is her God?
Where is her help?)

I'll show them.

Because
Perfect Love casts out fear.
God - I'm Waiting.
On You.

Just as I am.

Quotes Alot












I quote a lot because I read a lot.
And I question what I read.
And try it out.
And hope to learn.
And pass it on.

That's why I'm here.
It's good for me.
I hope you enjoy my place.

Culture Problem? Not really...


"Children today are tyrants.
They contradict their parents,
gobble their food,
and tyrannize their teachers."













Except for my boys, of course!
Frank, Rory and Joseph -2007



That's what people say about
today's children. So, who said
the above quote?



Socrates!

2,427 years ago!
(420 b.c.)

So the teenage difficulties just really
end up being discipline problems within
the home. Problems with respect and
communication and methods of discipline.
Maybe we ought to blame the culture less,
and look at our own behavior as parents!
