Speak

A part of me was inspired
The other part was scared

Sometimes I was too ashamed
and tempted but never dared

Insecurities ruled the night
kept me tamed throughout the day

But now the struggle is over
I have too much in me to say

What was once suppressed
cannot be contained

What is now the past
memories distantly remained

Moving forward is now my charge to keep
The future awaits its my turn to speak

Thought for today: Buying Good Karma

Sometimes we aren't aware of how our actions may impact us or our surroundings. These actions can cause either a world of good or a great deal of irreparable harm. Buying good Karma is the act of intentionally using your abilities and efforts to ensure a good result. Sort of like "The Butterfly effect" in reverse. People have called it "Paying it forward"; but, the idea is to overcome evil with good. Sort of like using probiotics. If you don't use them the bad bacteria can overrun and cause issues with your body. Adding or introducing good bacteria into your system forces the bad bacteria to stay under control. The Bible puts it best, allow Jesus' light to shine through you and it will overcome the darkness. In the movie the Butterfly effect, the guy eventually succumbed to the idea that the world is a better place without him as every possible outcome he tried caused hurtful havoc. On the other hand, if you allow Jesus to work through you - yo...

Thought for Today: Is Alzheimer's Selfish?

When reading an article about linguists who studied the diary entries of a woman from aged 60 to 90, they wrote she included the pronoun "I" 100% of the time after being diagnosed with Alzheimers (a disease that robs you of the ability to remember). The linguists theorized a link to cognitive decline. However, could there also be a spiritual link? The state where undeveloped or underdeveloped spiritual maturity is given, as the Bible suggests (Romans 1:28), over to a mind that is "reprobate." The more I read, study and analyze the Bible the more I gain a perspective and appreciation for wisdom that may not be substituted. Could there be a medicinal like quality of wisdom that is missed from those who omit Bible study as a part of their lifestyle? I'd be interested to see if similar diaries, explored from minds sharpened by Biblical wisdom, had the same link to the word I. How can someone continue to walk in unselfishness without reinforcement from an uns...

What to do with future distrust

Reality can't already be now under so much pressure Distrustful and willful somehow plague the future Even in the light we used to squint to see demands How things changed from a slow past to greedy hands Worse could be said of naivity and rose colored glasses Wolves dressed in sheeps clothing deceiving the masses Now became then while the patient remained hopeful The midst of the journey time told however grateful To not honor the past seemed less than authentic For we started one step at a time until times ended The shame would be for the future in my imagination to discourage dreamers from dreaming in future generations That the light we used to squint to see demands Would change from a learned past into praying hands
