Out of the Closet

Out of the closet we come.

To do what must be done.

It's time to take a stand for what we believe.

And not hide our politics under our sleeve.

Out of the closet they finally descend.

All of the Republican women and men.

We are everywhere you look, we cannot hide.

We are coming out and it can't be denied.

Out of the closet the voters on the other side.

Finally admit they are fed up with the lies

Voting Republican for the first time ever.

Making history their endeavor.

For years the news outlets have gaslighted us as well.

Telling us the majority is on the left, everyone can tell.

But switch the channel and what do you see?

Conservative outlets showing truth to you and me.

We are the majority, and if you are still hiding there.

Come out come out and let's show the world we care.

Let your voice be heard, and don't' be afraid to take a stand.

Let it be known that we won't take any more illegal bans.

We will go back to the constitution and educate the left.

Teach them what it really says, not the lies that they project.

Expose the Hilter, Nazi narrative that they make up from nothing.

And let our voice be heard loudly so they hear more than muffling.

We are on the right side of history so come out of the closets my friends.

Don't be afraid of being canceled, that's going to end.

They can't control us when they see how many of us there are.

Our voices need to be raised and heard near and far.

Stand up to illegal immigration, to the lies of abortion.

Stand up to the name calling and their constant distortion.

Stand up, walk out of your prison you have lived in so long.

Come out of the Closet, together we will stand strong.

God's Mosaic

GOD’S MOSAIC

God’s mosaic began ages ago when He created man on the earth.

And then His only son died for us bringing a new age to birth.

Since then little by little He has revealed to us His plan.

In different times and ways He has spoken to man.

Hearing His voice has brought understanding to our hearts.

Giving us a clear vision leading us out of the dark.

Others He has given a picture meant only for them.

We all have a different path, leading us straight to Him.

At the end of the road, our paths will converge.

As we hear His voice and our wills and hearts merge.

We will all have His law on our heart and testify freely.

Of God’s law and will and of His sovereignty.

We are all part of the body of Christ, as His mosaic unfolds.

A beautiful painting showing God’s ultimate plan is being told.

There are all different colors and backgrounds where we stand.

Coming together at the end of the age, declaring God’s plan.

We all have different gifts declaring His glory today.

And we have to understand God made it that way.

He has made us different and though sometimes we may disagree.

Look unto the father, who has made us all free.

His mosaic is a beautiful piece of art unlike any ever seen.

It’s a picture of the body of Christ, of the redeemed.

God’s mosaic has been unfolding since the beginning of time.

Of the restoration of all of mankind.

Garbage

On October 29th, President Joe Biden called those who support president Trump garbage, which inspired me to write the following.

GARBAGE

I'm a proud piece of garbage standing tall and strong.

One whom God in heaven has loved and cared for all along.

I don't mind being called that because I know it's true.

Yes he was right. God I'm a piece of garbagé without you

Mr President I pray for you because you are too blind to see

That God didn't create garbage. That includes you and that also includes me

For you to say we are garbage really doesn't hurt us at all

You are the one consumed by hate which will lead to your fall.

It is sad that we are so divided that we cannot see.

The hate of the World's free leader attacking you and me.

A man who does not even know who we are inside

A man who is filled with arrogance and pride

Sadly the precedence has been set by those that came before

We were deplorables and Nazis and oh so much more

We've been called terrorists even though we pay taxes and help our fellow man.

You see Mr President this is who you are attacking in this land.

It doesn't even shock me anymore when I hear the things you say

You call us hateful racists as you act the same way

So I will just continue to pray that you will open up your eyes

As I continue to do the works of my father up on high

I'm a proud piece of garbage bought and redeemed by Jesus Christ

But God does not see me that way. I am the apple of his eye.

So these people who judge and say things they are not to say

I will do what Jesus did and not treat them the same way.

Voter's Remorse

VOTER’S REMORSE

Don't get voter’s remorse by voting for the democrats again.

Stop, pause and vote for Trump even if you hate him.

Don't have regrets. What have the democrats done for you?

Stop buying $10 eggs and milk. Stopping inflation is up to you.

Don't be deceived by the lies they spew about the right.

It’s easy to fact check and see the truth that is in sight.

Don't wake up on November 6 with voter's remorse.

Regardless of your party you have the power to alter course.

Don't do it again my friends on the other side.

How exactly has Biden and Harris helped you live better lives.

Nothing will change, in fact it will only got worse.

Voting for Harris is voting for us to be cursed.

Don't buy into the propaganda calling Trump names to get your vote

Look at the last three years, voting Republican gives us hope.

Open your eyes, look at history, do research my friend.

So we don't fall into the deception of their lies again.

At the end of the day, however, true hope is dependent on Christ alone.

Yes, these are all only men, doing their best to lead us home

One side honors God. protecting religious freedoms for us all,

While the other side wants to demonize us, hoping that we fall.

Just because your pro-choice and I'm pro-life doesn't mean we have to disagree

Let's come together let's be Americans and let's vote to continue to be free.

We are a great country standing up for what we believe.

Sharing our ideas on open platforms preserving our free speech.

Don't get voter’s remorse this time, the outcome is up to you.

Give Trump a shot and let him show what he can do.

He will stop forced vaccines, and return freedom back to all men.

You will be able to afford your gas and groceries, and make America great again.

I remember this day so clearly. My 17-year-old grand daughter was going on a walk with me and a walk it was. She has much more energy and I was getting tired. I didn't care though. It was a precious moment. I was making a memory that meant so much more than my tired joints and muscles. My family means the world to me and I thank God for them every single day.

THESE ARE THE MOMENTS

These are the moments I live for today

Making memories with my family, watching the boys play.

Taking walks with my granddaughter as tired as I may be

These are the moments I remember happily.

Time carries on as we work and live our lives each day.

Being miles away from our loved ones where are hearts long to stay.

But even though these times are few and far between

These are the moments that mean the most to me.

In the hectic rush we live in and the politics we see.

My family still stays in my heart where they will always be.

I will never take for granted the time we spend together

Every conversation, every activity and encounter.

I hold them close to my heart each day that I live and breath.

These moments will be with me into eternity.

These are the moments, the days I treasure most.

My grandsons fishing with Grandpa out on a boat

My granddaughter having coffee, making silly videos imitating me

She may not realize how much I cherish each of these so deeply.

The times we watched Dora and the Mario Brothers movie

To the Legos adventures they describe so eloquently

But God didn't stop there, He gave me a bonus I didn't expect

Two more grand kids that have embraced us since the day we met.

They have made our family complete in ways beyond compare

God has blessed our family and answered our many prayers.

I love these precious children who will never leave my heart.

They indeed in so many ways leave their mark.

The messages they send just letting us know they care

These are the moments I will always treasure.

Hearing God's Voice

Hearing God's Voice

I asked God to show me His will.

And when He did, I just stood still.

I didn't recognize His voice.

My job, my commitments, made my choice.

I came back again to the father on high

Still unable to hear, as time went by.

He spoke again, but I didn't hear.

There was another voice in my ear.

So many times we ask God to speak.

As we with all our heart declare our loyalty.

And when He does we push it aside.

Because we hear with all of the idols inside.

Maybe He wants us to take a step of faith

Our fear steps in and says no way.

Maybe He asks us simply to pray.

We put it off because we are too busy that day.

God doesn't ask us to move mountains.

That's His job we just have to stop doubting.

God doesn't ask us to do what only He can do

But He does ask us to put aside our point of view.

God will move mountains. We can help or get out of the way.

He will speak to us but we need to stop and listen as we pray.

Put aside our ambitions and ideas of His plan Allow Him to move the mountains with His mighty hand.

I asked God to reveal to me His will.

I am learning to listen and just be still.

To recognize my voice and push it aside.

And no longer let God's voice be denied.

This poem was adapted into a song and can be viewed on my YouTube channel here:

My Stand

I have been backed into a corner by my employer to decide to either take a stand for what I believe or given in to it. Their policies that would force me to compromise my faith. I wrote this in response to that.

MY STAND

When did we get to this place?

Where my very faith is a disgrace.

At what point was it decided

That my commitment to God should be derided?

As I sit here today wanting to do the right thing

I want to stand for truth and all that it brings.

But those that I work for tell me I am wrong.

And threaten my posterity if I don't go along.

I am not one to cause trouble or rebel

But I have to stand for truth as well.

So when I'm told to do something that goes against what I believe

At the end of the day I have to follow Jesus Christ and the Bible's Creed.

It doesn't matter if I get fired or convicted in a court of law

I have to follow Jesus Christ and simply say naw.

To not do that would mean to go against what God has told me to do.

And to follow the world instead of that which I know is true.

So go ahead fire me put me in jail take away my rights.

Go ahead throw everything at me and make me stand and fight.

Because at the end of the day that's all I can do.

You see, I know the story's ending and the others sadly have no clue.

I can only do what God has shown me where I stand.

No matter what they do, I know God has a plan.

So I will march on take a stand and never retreat

Until that day when all things are subjected to Him and underneath His feet.
