You know what bothers me? Spiritual people... I don't like them. They make a big deal about things they don't even understand. I might be rebuked for such a comment but seriously why do you have to make everything so mystical? God has placed us in a physical world, with emotional yet intuitive minds to conquer a spiritual plane... this much I understand. The Spiritual Realm is all around us, in everything we see and a part of everything we do. But what people don't seem to understand is that everything that is spiritual is represented my something physical. I guess this really isn't at much debate but what I see most common in this era is a people who are so excited about God and the things He is doing that they forget the blessings of the past. They forget wisdom, they forget understanding, they forget knowledge... Heck just the other night I heard a young man tell a group of peers with complete confidence that him going to college would be a waste of time because his profession was in the ministry or in music... I guess then we're simply setting a standard for dumb uneducated pastors and leaders to be followed by dumber Christians. Wow, how stupid have we become? Are we that clueless to think that in a society where college is the basis for the economy that we will flourish? Don't be an idiot. Now understand that I know there are those who truly never will need to go to college or those who simply are not cut out for it. But we should never have the mindset that prompts us to rejecting the way of the very people we are trying to reach... get it?
I've drifted a bit from my original thought on spiritual people but it all just goes to show you that we must handle things with wisdom. Wisdom is the key that opens every door. If you don't have it you forever piggyback on those who do and you have not been set in place to ride on the work of others. In all this don't be a fool. Don't forsake the gifts that God offers you. Don't look at life through a self-initiated spiritual eye. Use the eyes God gave you. Now I'm just rambling... I'll call it quits for now. I have to think about this.

Our Fame is Our Death

In their righteousness is found ignorance. In their purity is found deception. How do those set on your heart miss the point? How is it that the small have been basked in your light? That the weak have understood strength? Is your kingdom that backwards? Are you so mysterious that even your wisest are put to shame? Oh, that I might be forever lowly! Never allow me to grow an inch! If I increase my destruction follows close behind. If I am destined for greatness I am destined to fail. Have we, in all these years, not yet learned where all glory is due? If we, even in the slightest, seek our own cause, our own fame we have set our death. Foolish generation! When will you learn? Your value is that of the sand and yet you parade around like diamonds. Oh, Famous One! Humble us, your children. We are nothing without you. We are without purpose or reason, without guidance or direction, without love or hope! Humble us, Oh God! We exist to glorify you! There is nothing else. -Consumed

And again

It's been a second... again. I have trouble keeping this going. My desires for entertainment, comfort and my own lazy complacency eat at my diligence. But of course, the intention is always there. The intention to write, to read, to study and immerse myself in His goodness is always present but what is intention without action? It's worthless. I need to stop beating myself down. It's proven fruitless after years of hoping it would instill discipline. Turns out it just tames your inner voice to belittle your already struggling soul. So now I've got two fronts to fight. But enough on that. COVID-19 has provided me with an opportunity to take many a moment and think. I have a lot more time lately, time to spend with family, time to unwind, and time to write. I've taken advantage of the first two, but for the past decade I've been ignoring a tug for the third. I've been given a gift to write, to turn words into poetry, my own interpretation on the art. And I e...

Inspire

Inspire me please. Delve into the depths of me and stir till I am too undone to move. I need inspiration. Prompt me to better things! Oh please show me, give me, reveal in me the glory of it all, the purpose, the reason, the passion that remains untapped. My tongue feels useless, my hands are numb. I've lost feeling in these toes and my every next step is only a stumble. My next words are only babble and what I've written has produced what in me? A gift beyond and yet a gift unseen, unfelt, unknown. My love is but a flicker and this warmth has fled from my being. I am craving something new, something better than who I am. My every second feels fleeting... I've never known how quickly time runs from you until now. I need rebirth, I need new life. Fatigue has overcome me again and if He had blessed me with better ducts my words here would surely be smudged. I am no man... I am no child... No, I have become my own creation, my own work of depravity.  Am I to lose in this life?...
