    Mark H. Stevens says

    "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD.

    Lord take this cup away from me....
    "I can't son, it belongs to you"
    But Lord this cup is too much for me to bear!
    "You can handle it, Jesus drank from the cup"
    But Lord I aint Jesus!
    "But He lives in YOU!"
    But Lord I am weak!
    "His strength works best when you’re weak"
    But Lord have you seen what's in my cup?
    "Yeah I know I put it in there!"
    But Lord there is sickness in my cup!
    "And I called you to heal"
    But Lord there is confusion in my cup!
    "And I called you to teach"
    But Lord there is pain in my cup!
    "And I called you spread my Word"
    But Lord why do I have to drink THIS cup?
    ”Because I want you to act like my Son!”
    Last question Lord....Does everyone have to drink this cup?
    "Everyone has to taste their reality"

    The World As We See It

    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we see it vague
    The world-our world
    Your world-my world
    God created.

    The world as we see it
    No longer pure-safe
    The world as we see it
    Wish to run-hide-escape.

    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we see it vague.

    The world that once was
    Free from sin-a world where
    Anger-hatred-lies to fall in
    The world that ate forbidden
    Fruit, that sends our
    Bones to hell
    Biblical verses of
    Old that still
    Prevail.

    The world that we use to know
    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we live in it
    Vague.

    MLK and President Obama have more than skin color in common, they both were educated and both were visionaries! A lot of people HATE dreamers (Joseph and Daniel) Keep the dream alive and VOTE tomorrow! If you don't vote you are spitting in our forefathers faces. Many Black men died so we can have the right to vote!

    I Love you

    I love you to the moon
    I love you to the end of the planets.
    I love you till there's no love in the equator
    I love you knowing nothing could be greater
    I will love you from now until decades later.
    Let me love you now not later
    Let me love you to
    Northern skies
    Western hemispheres
    Without worries, fears or cares.
    Allow me to love you
    Until you care
    Open up-heal from old wounds
    that you start to share.
    Our love is genuine-it can't compare.
    Now your love has opened
    Like a brand new gift on Christmas
    See what happens when you allow
    Someone to love you.

    Hi, Bruce. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view. A story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. I’m including here the publisher's notes from Amazon.com. Let me know what you think. The honor would be mine.


    Book Description
    Caleb, an elderly Jew, leaves the safety of his home in Cana on a mission to find a man he believes is in Jerusalem. Miriam, Caleb’s only remaining child, accompanies him disguised as a boy. In the desolation of the war struck Galilean countryside, father and daughter risk their lives to journey south on the Jordan River trail. As they walk, Caleb intrigues Miriam with a captivating story of his youth that will change her future destiny. A story of a time forty years prior when he became a sandal maker in order to observe a man some called the Miracle Worker. Caleb secretly kept notes of the events he saw and heard as he followed the crowds. With his objective, skeptical point of view, he reveals the fascinating ministry of the one he called the “Master.” Heart pounding perils and the threat of death endanger the two travelers, but nothing could foretell the fate awaiting them in Jerusalem!

    From the Publisher
    A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.
