As my life tumbles along, up the hills and down the valleys, I wonder when and where it will quiet down so that I can catch a breathe, and just when I sense a slow down as it nears a hill, I learn of old friends that must somehow deal with the tragedy of not only losing one child but two, and I realize that my valleys and trapdoors are only bumps that must be dealt with but are survivable with only minor scratches and bruises to show for my fall.

god bless momma
god bless her
god bless the dead
which no longer talk,
and
god bless me
the second coming came
i was left alone in hell
what should i do
save me
love me
i saw you god
when the sun rose
and the flowers opened
i saw you waiting
for mankind to love
i saw you god
needed you
i saw you move god
when the wind stirred
and a newborn cried
i saw you god
but you never noticed me
holy seekers preach
the end is almost near
i just want some mark
to show that i was here
pain
does life go on
i need a caring heart
to end this ruthless lie
brains
intelligence kills my god
why can’t i find
the hope that i seek
mistakes happen
humanity sucks
love is a tale forgotten
i want a life
which allows for mercy
when killing
is by god’s hands
i don’t want to be the one
the messiah for the near dead
grant me peace
hear my prayers
dying time is near
i want to learn
the meaning of life
are we to follow our lord
are we to follow our leaders
one leads to a promised judgment
one leads to a promised quick reward
will i die in vain
if i choose one and not the other
the wrecking ball is here
god’s revelations
have all been fulfilled
the lamb to be slaughtered
is placed upon the alter
the evil close their eyes
while the good stand and stare
god bless my soul
i run to you with open arms

What’s that some people say, “Rules are meant to be broken?” Uh oh, unless you’re talking about the bible, and then, watch out, the Christian police will make sure you at least follow some of them, but, of course, only the ones that they stick to, at least when someone is watching. And that illustrates the problem with holding the bible up as a rulebook; there isn’t a single person on this earth now or ever, except for at least one, who actually kept all the rules; I take that back, even Jesus broke the rules, but then again, he understood that God isn’t a stickler for the rules but more about love and forgiveness.

…and your grandfather said, ‘Suffer little children to come unto Me’: and what did He mean by that? how, if He meant that little children should need to be suffered to approach Him, what sort of earth had He created; that if they had to suffer in order to approach Him, what sort of heaven did He have?
Absalom, Absalom
William Faulkner
For me, sometimes, when I think about God, I often wonder about evil in the world and how God relates to that evil, and with recent events, such as the shootings in Colorado, I couldn’t help but think how this happens in a world overseen by a God; I’ve read blogs and even heard conversations where people hold back from believing in God because trusting in a loving God that “allows” such horrific acts of violence just seems illogical, and I bet, maybe, that many people contemplate evil and God, so I’m probably not alone in this situation. Is God evil? Or at the very least, is God apathetic to evil deeds? (more…)

What does it mean when someone says, “God is love?” You hear and see that all the time. God is love. God is love. God is love… I get that. God is good; he loves us, but is that really what the point is? Is it that God loves us? Or is it that since God loves us, we should love others? I know in church and out among Christians, especially on Facebook, you get bombarded all the time with the fact that God loves you. Everything is all right. Send down the rain because God loves you, so he won’t give you more than you can handle. If you view that phrase as God loves you, that act really seems more inward, more about what God is giving to you, which is kind of selfish, in a way, but I know what it feels like to want to be loved, so I understand embracing that view point, and it is a valid point, but just not where I’m going right at this moment.
