RHYME THYME

Blossoming thyme

Dearfriends, Guess what? I published a second volume of poems! -- still waiting for the "author's copy" to arrive, which I thought I was supposed to check for errors (smears and such) before distribution, but apparently it's already available online @ AuthorHouse, Amazon and B&N - but can't say for sure - though I did find it on a bookseller site translated in German (whichwasweird) so it is out there! -- perhaps on a slow worldwide leak. 2nd in a series of, God willing, 3 books (all pretty much dedicated to Evelyn) this one is titled ONE FOCUS,   & subtitled All For Jesus. The  book cover features a section of our beloved Northeast El Paso mntns!

Below are three or four poem outlines I thought I'd send along. The last one ALWAYS inspired by a blogpost from John and Kay. -- URL included. 

Merry Christmas!

Love you all, Jeff

ON MY KNEES On my knees I hear God's voice On my knees I see His face On my knees I sense His joy On my knees I feel His grace On my knees The World stops On my knees Heaven speaks On my knees I lose myself On my knees I am humbled On my knees I find freedom On my knees I rest in peace ¤¤¤ 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence  of many witnesses. FIGHT THE FEELING Fight the feeling Wait for faith Wait for Jesus He's the Way Fight the feeling Resist bad news Look for Jesus He's the Truth Fight the feeling Do what is right Follow after Jesus He's the Life Fight the feeling Stay in the Light Guard your heart Fight the good fight ¤¤¤ A thanksgiving poem: THANK GOD Thank God for Jesus Thank God for love Thank God for freedom Thank God above Thank God for Jesus Thank God for light Thank God for wisdom Thank God for life Thank God for Jesus Thank God for truth Thank God for conscience Thank God for Good news  Thank God for Jesus Thank God for salvation Thank God forgiveness Has come from Heaven ¤¤¤ Matthew 28:19-20 ALWAYS Always I am with you, You're My mind, My soul; Always I am with you, You're My heart and goal. Alive in truths you teach, Alive in fruits you preach; Alive in songs you sing,  Alive in gifts you bring. Always I am with you, Child, you're my mission,  Always, I am with you, You're the reason why. Alive in your tears,  Alive in your touch,  Alive in your healing prayers;  I'm alive in your mercy, in your love, Yes, my friend, I am with you always! Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt 28:19-20 KJV ¤¤¤
