"It's ALL I have" (Mark 6. 30-34)

     I wonder of that little lad,

The one who gave his all

Whene'er the Master did require

Some food, to feed the sprawl

Of hungry mouths and listening ears,

Who'd followed Christ, to hear

The wonderous words and truths He told

For only three short year.


   Whene'er he said "It's all I have"

Did he e'er think that, years 

And centuries long afterwards,

His deeds, would ease some fears

Of folk who thought "not good enough"

"I haven't anything

That anyone deems worthy 'nough,

Which I, to HIM, can bring". 


    Did he keep on a-following

The Saviour, whom he saw

Feed o'er five thousand ravenous mouths,

With so little food, to chaw?

Did he become disciple keen,

When older he became?

Or did he turn his back on Him,

E'en after all he'd seen?


  I guess we'll never know for sure,

Until we are called 'Home'

To that eternal Glory land

And we have time to comb

Believers, who have gathered there,

For many centuries past,

'Twill be a GRAND reunion,

A CELEBRATION, vast.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now  ...
