went to a poetry reading first of all, I would like to introduce myself, as I am new to this whole blog thing..... my name is Stephanie living in South Florida...I was born Catholic and about 4 years ago felt the Holy Spirit tugging on me and I feel that was the moment that I became "born again". I have since then, started "the marathon" on being a christian. I say marathon only because as the apostle Paul puts it phil 3:12-14. "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the PRIZE of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Every time that I think that I am strong, the Devil gets his grip and trys to pry his way in. Very humbling. Anyway.... The other nite I went to a poetry reading at one of the nice resturants. The innocent side of me expected beautiful, creative, flowing poetry. Wow!! I was surprised....instead I found a combination of "new age", vulgar talk about everything from "energy" to I'm not kidding-- butt holes...I'm ashamed to say...well, that very night I went home and wrote a poem....don't know if I will ever read it at that poetry reading, but I'll share it with you... Deception "WELCOME TO THE LAND OF SELF-GRATIFICATION"... If you stay a little while--you too may catch whats sweeping our nation... A land so far, far away... It only takes a moment to get here, but I'll promise, you'll want to stay... A pill, a drink, a nip, a tuck... Whatever you want--I'll bring you out of the muck... BUT only for a moment, a blink of an eye, and then back to the next fix to keep you satisfied... Don't you get it? Don't you see? The best things in life are usually free? Yes the grass is finer and greener over here.. I'll feed you lies--anything to calm your fears... The Bible calls it Chasing the wind, and ohh don't you know how that makes me grin?... But everything has a price to pay, give me your honesty, integrity, anything to make you stay... In return, my empty promises keep you coming back for more. The unsatiable thirst to find happiness that is the lure... sooo, the ship leaves tonight to this far away land... make your decision, come give me your hand... I'll ask you once, I'll ask you twice, but I'm sure the ones that do come clearly haven't found Christ... I Pray each and every one of you reading this has found Christ.....God bless you... |
