New Science Realm

Astrophysicist of Faith, teach globally the fear of God and hope of a great future in Christ Jesus.  The joy of putting confidence in the realm of faith gets tempered whenever science wants to save our planet without trusting in its creator.  Consider the recent cosmic shot at finding new science in outer space to protect life on earth from the dinosaurs’ fate.  Some might knock on wood instead of turning to God.  As if easier, some attempt to change the paths of asteroids or meteors, which threaten to annihilate what evolution supposedly took so long to make.  The Bible, though often pummeled with doubts about it, predicts how this worst fear is in earth’s path.  And anyone still lost in the creation debate risks missing God’s way of escaping His wrath.  He already turned toward us for our safety, reconciling the world to Himself through Christ’s intervention, who's exalted dominion will never end.  Turning to Him receives true wisdom for new science on a rock solid mission.  Our returning Lord will reward Your stand on God’s saving holiness, love, and grace.

Systemic Hope

judging from what she's thinking

still constrains those rightfully freed

from limits that frame expectations

for bright hopes of promised futures  

yet her prejudice adds exclusion

reducing the likelihood of their advancement

until Christ makes her holy and without blemish

though meek as Moses she can be Pharaoh

since prideful idolatry hardens hearts

to call winning a race the gravest situation

when afraid to lose what she built up

with her energy labor and money

she fears their resiliency and numbers

will overtake it without permission

forcing her to accept this reluctantly  

while Christ makes her holy and without blemish

crucified is prejudiced bias

put it to death again in one holy nation

a chosen people forsaking strange gods

in truth’s ever-increasing army

sent forth to win millions of souls

each preconceived equally precious 

since Christ makes her holy and without blemish

A Beaming Look

silence beams her joy in mindful prayers

tears work tenderly a beautiful look

the Father’s goodness on His teenage girl

rocking kindness in love’s native language

streams a long ways her cries for ones missing

His smile she adorns to bless all the earth

Patron Finisher

with "see you later" my patron rests,

homebound he'll pass while I'm all in;

honor how good to have known a man

who stuck closer than a father.

 fresh grace renews his spirit revs

scatters abroad like an open hand

unworried 'bout where good seed lands

"God is able" his one montra.

 frailty's demands cannot exhaust

blessings his skin and bones command;

Christ's finisher runs well on the bend

prayer effects all he's after.

 with "see you later" my patron rests,

homebound he'll pass while I'm all in;

honor how good to have known a man

who stuck closer than a father.

Solemn Thanksgiving

how does one find heaven’s comforting throne?

i’m desperate to understand a tragedy and need to go there.

through the glory of the knowledge of the LORD

could a psalmist take me up yonder, I wonder?

 the softened pages of my old Bible is where I seek;

wrap, my soul, around a new dimension;

eyes, strain and see with spiritual sharpness;

ears, carefully listen to these few revealed words.

 with David, I somehow approach Jehovah;

in a safe holy place, His throne of grace.

where are the resounding praises of mighty seraphs?

they’re important, I sure, but here purpose matters most.

 we hear only the solemn call of the great I AM,

“sit at My right hand.”

Jesus my Lord responds and is now enthroned  

given all authority in heaven and earth.

 His suffering complete, He is at peace;  

unrushed, He reigns at Jehovah’s right hand;

sitting honored, sitting exalted, sitting anointed;

waiting timelessly upon the Ancient of Days.

 harm cannot come here no matter what threatens below;

Christ remains calm as hostility torments earth’s streets;  

far beyond the shame of rebellion, the Messiah sits;  

let me humbly draw near Him to find peace and rest.

 the Great Jehovah addresses my Savior;

His eternal oath fervently resounds,

“You are a Priest forever.”  

praise! my Advocate is placed in the seat of dominion.

 worship; what a big smile crosses my face.

but it’s hard to keep fear from distracting my praises;

the Sovereign wages war on my Lord’s behalf;  

He fights mere mortals and other hapless beings.

 everywhere, the Covenant Keeper goes to work;  

for the Son’s Name He breaks nations and evil’s rebellion;

how easily the King Priest rules His adversaries now;

Jehovah subjects stiff-necked enemies well.

 oh, I’m starting to get it--my Messiah reigns in transition;

He will arise and return to finally destroy all our adversaries;

heaven’s great army musters, willing to follow;

the people of God, purchased by blood, enlist under His banner.

 soldiers mysteriously appear like the dew at dawn

consecrated and filling His ranks with youthful vigor;

freshly arrayed in uniforms shining with beauty of holiness;  

obviously, the quiet Priest King sits as commander.

 getting older, as I am, I consider my fighting days over.

yet now invigorated!  jump-to, my spirit, I must announce,

“willing, O Lord, You know I’m willing!” Hurry, join  

legions whose glories sparkle like the sunrise on dew.

 even shoulder to shoulder with those who have gone on before;

only cheerful righteousness-clothed warriors;

no grievers doubting, “what if--if I had only done this!”

yes!  thank you, Lord! our greatest achievement lies ahead.

 notice the psalm’s focal point becoming prophetic;

see now my Adonai conquering on earth.

the Spirit predicts fierce justice on the day of His vengeance;

depicts Christ triumphant in relentless pursuit of His foes.

 worship…Great Jehovah;

worship…my Lord, High Priest, Commander, coming King!

worship…my Comforter;

Jesus, today I am willing.

 thank you, solemn LORD, for Your Word;

thank you, Sovereign LORD, for all things!

  from Psalm 110

Acorn Perspective

fellow nuts up in this old tree

don’t know right now what to believe

supposed divine love with powers that be

took my dear acorn perhaps to bereave

can’t look to heaven so hard to see

some spry new oak keeps shading me!

Autumn Breezes

autumn breezes refresh my soul

bring on her radiant routine

brisk is this pace I can’t control

autumn breezes refresh my soul

kindly remind of Divine’s cool role

turning our youngest one eighteen

autumn breezes refresh my soul

bring on her radiant routine!

Star Woven

In quantum

complexities’

bubbling cauldron,

darkness maddens,

creation groans,

atomic

uncertainties

keep on brewing,

but our october’s star

was woven,

secretly fashioned

in quiet seclusion,

data of days

premeasured,

foreknown.

Truth Eternal

in absoluteness

formed one still young,

so precious to us--

how vast the brightness

of a spirit’s fusion!

Intricate Designer

please guide her still

until when souls

know all full well.

Jeremiah Promise

expectantly you give a name boldly and wonder if it’s holy 

namely Jeremiah after the prophet who weeps as evil creeps 

generations heap up God’s wrath blurred from burning the Word 

preserved when his name they insult promises the LORD will exalt    

  like the promise Eve receives after being deceived 

gets a reprieve though she hyped Satan’s lie   

to get high earning hard labor but heard God’s favor 

a Savior forgives fault her bruised offspring the LORD will exalt   

even young Mary willing to carry a child although scary 

would marry with this promise from the start pondered in her heart 

she does her part while its sword hits fierce with its pierce 

brings a serious result her laid-low son the LORD will exalt 

as His child train up your son who claims Jeremiah’s name 

without shame lift high its promise and raise him to praise 

strong faith always impress when his name is addressed   

blessed to cherish your thought that the LORD will exalt

Humbled In

quirky fame 

jerked some chains 

felt your pain 

sin will stain 

dodging blame 

 make your breaks 

have your cake 

save the date 

wait too late 

seal your fate 

twerky fly 

free-wife high 

eightball try 

Satan's lies 

dueces, bye 

broken been 

humbled in 

Love's blood wins 

cleanses sin 

forgiven

From Here on Out

come outside

as most head in

saying it’s too late

and so forth 

anyways may a clear night

fall from autumn’s deep blue skies

bring by a few constellations

giving their high regards

with the harvest moon’s

to make your birthday bright

not like mythology’s reason

why Saturn’s still here

to reflect on time’s penchant 

for consuming each season

yet our stellar Lord Jesus 

interjects with the facts

His awaited glory’s at stake

and eternalness mandates

stare at dark spaces

claim your heritage of faith

as a Spirited promisee 

widen your reach for all peoples 

catch up with the stars

numbered somewhere  

running in the hundreds

of sextillions that is

so going forward 

from here on out

celebrate your day then

live astronomically

 Genesis 15:5,6

Truth’s Flyer

beyond physic’s reach

limits at infinity peak

where steepest vectors rise,

our Creator lifts

truth’s liberty gift

 ~ based upon His image~

 exalts our lineage

cheers a twenty-year try,

vaults her high;

she ascends to teach,

then Eternity speaks:

fly!
