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

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
