they sing all the hymns on a sunday all dressed up and peachy pie

Learn from your basic thoughts
That pull you down,
Take your hope
Fill your brain
To crush those thouhts.Our hope is for our God!
The god of violence
Will be decimated,
Sin will languish,
Violence will be depleted,
No lucky packets to pick from
Only a library of thoughts
Too study from.I see a warmer universe
I see trillions of people
Speaking a new language
A language with no violent words
A language that will create unity
A language that gives us understanding
Of all things,
The language of God.Lineon

“”Think simple” as my old master used to say – meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.”
Frank Lloyd Wright quotesOctober 30, 2008 at 7:22 am#212105lineonParticipantThanks Charity
It so very true, just get back to basics.
It just like in rugby, all these top teams,
The All Blacks, The Springboks, The Wallybies.
These guys are super fit and when they lose to each other
You hear the commentators say,
'They did not applly the basics, they must get back to the basics of the game.'
It is the same with life we must get back to the basics
And I think the basics is 'humbleness.'October 30, 2008 at 10:39 pm#212104charityParticipantHI Lineon
flexibility to changing teams
they lose, they lost
the original sin
the original curse
the original perishing of Man kindthe original lie
the original pride
the original blame
the originat Team refused humility
believing that they shall surly not die.Who deliver the the first Salvation message?
believing as eating, that they shall surly not die.
What is Natural, all things shall passes away
What is Natural, all things rest,
this earth may not contain every soul born at one time
and do souls return in prepared bodies?
dose he do away with the first to make way for the second?
there is no end of people on this earth,
that their bodies may perish in all truth.
-charityOctober 31, 2008 at 3:20 pm#212103lineonParticipantCan my innocence be regained?
The innocence I gave away so gladly
So that I could stand amongst the crowd
And be counted to say with a loud voice
'This is my life, no one can take it away!'With my innocence lost,
Violence is priority in any form or shape,
I can swear
I can murder
I can rape,
My deeds can be endless
My motives will not be counted as vain.I have come to realise
That I gave away my innocence without a fight
That there is two sides to life,
'Life' and 'Death'
'Christ' or 'Die'.Can I regain my innocence?
Become a sheep in wolves cloths?
And not destroy
But lift up,
Not to fight
But talk,
Not to hate
But educate,
Not to lose the Way
But to find the Way.Lineon

the full price is requiredCopy;
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.'
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny,
are you sure I don't have enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.
She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.'
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.'
His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.'
'I love my mommy and I wish she didn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.'
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!''
'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''
'My mommy loves white roses.'
A few minutes later, the old lady return ed and I left with my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.
I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white ro se in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine.
Stories like this always get me sad but glad that I am lucky enough to read it.
So much love in such a small boy.

Even a child sometimes dose not register grief on the moment, sheltered by purpose under protection, to Later be exposed in understanding as the days of absence, abandonment then will naturally proceed towards the grieving process, followed by space in healing
-charityNovember 6, 2008 at 4:18 am#212083lineonParticipantI knew a man
Who lived in style
He had his name
Written on various tiles.He laughed a lot
About all the things he has got,
He cooked up a storm
When he said, 'God is my lot.'His family were up in arms
They could not understand
That part of his fortune
Was given away.The bible he read every day.
He prayed for your safety
He prayed for your health,
He told God, 'Their is no one else.'He looked through the glass darkly
He saw his reflection
He struggled awhile until he was one
And said, 'God is on my side.'He never looked back.
'Forward'. was his motto,
'My Lord God is up ahead'
'His Life is in my hands.'Lineon

They are talking
The loudhailer is blaring
The antichrist is in our midst,
He is living, he is talking,
His aim is for the U.N.
Who are his friends?
Who are his allies?
He will rise up like the lost son
Smooth talk all the stars,
Talk to the nations
With good intensions
'Control of finance'
'Is my tool'
'Chips and resistors will come into play.'
He will say,
'Credit cards, debit cards, ATM's'
'Is all in the grand scheme of things.'You who play mind games
Will be caught up in his schemes.
Your vanity will not let you go
You will be gripped into his dreams
Scenes of peace
justice and
harmony.
You who understand our Lord God
Will look twice blink your eyes seven times
And realise he is being used
By the money men of the universe.Lineon
November 10, 2008 at 7:07 am#212126lineonParticipantI knew a woman
Who had a destiny,
She walked the walk
She talked the talk
No one could stand in her way.Her thoughts were straight,
She stood up for the lame and the poor,
Her soup kitchens were big,
Secondhand clothing was collected
The poor smiled from ear to ear.When she talked
We could feel harmony
She spoke words that made sense,
'Love and peace'
'Not war until the end'This lady grew in stature,
People were impressed
By her leadership skills,
They flattered her
And said politics is for her.Now she is never seen!
Her drive to do good
Has been confused into words,
She argues and pleads,
Twists arms, breaks legs,
But her words stay confused
Her deeds are lost in the libary of words.Lineon
