Christmas Angel

Brave the sorrow, brave the cold
Stave tomorrow's frozen hold


Sodden beauty, ice's crystal
Winter's duty, evil's fistule


Deaden all these dreams
Turn what's warm to cold
Refract shallow beams
Winter's grip is bold


Give the life to let it rest
trust that Father knows what's best


Tears that freeze upon my face
bitter journey, coldest place

linking all these memories
whitened hope from darkest stain
bitter chill to ward off enemies
No regret to kill cold's pain


I'm skating here
I'm flailing here

Angel warm me with your glow
let your light be Truth I know


Crying in the interim
Nearly silent, standing strong
Holding all this winter in
Lest I find out I've been wrong


Angel help me. Sing your song
I've been faithful for so long

Perhaps it's in my blatant sin
the weakness hidden deep within


Do you deprive me of your mercy?
You see how hard it's been
The pleasure they find when they hurt me?
Will you let what deadens win?

Angel, come and speak your message
before life gives it's final vestige

You can spark the will that warms
You can soothe the heart that mourns

Christmas Angel, find us now
We find our hearts are aching
Stumbling through the cold somehow
While, all the while; cracking, breaking.

Can you change what's turned so bitter?
Can you bring us through this winter?

Miracles born of a Savior
May I ask for one more favor?


Sweet, sweet Christmas Angel;  Here I am again.

JM 2017
All of us like sheep have strayed away.  We have left God's paths to follow our own.  Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.  He was oppressed, yet he never said a word.  He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.   And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Isaiah 53:6-7


Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.-  Matthew 7:6

A Look Inside The Nutcase

So if you haven't guessed, this blog is about the Commune.  There are too many people that think I'm joking, too many people that think I'm confused, A number that think I'm retarded and several that think I belong in the looney bin.  It's time all of you made an INFORMED decision!  Honestly, this "commune" has been in my heart for a very long time.  It was not a necessity then, but now it is.  I haven't wanted to blog.  There is too much that cannot be said and one knows that you can always count on me to say it once I open my big mouth.  So I cannot write about me, not now anyways.  There is too much inside of me that is not pleasant for the viewing but it will not always be so.  I have always trusted the Great Physician and there is no heart surgery too complicated for Him.  I will come out whole.  In the meantime, I must let you see what's inside this noggin'.  I may seem irrational, but I am not. I may seem illogical but...

I love men. I REALLY love men! Now anyone who knows me must wonder HOW I can feel this way at this time in my life. I will tell you why. Any woman will tell you that women can be awful to each other! Wickedly, horribly, vengefully, tongue waggingly, scaldingly AWFUL! I would rather be beat to a bloody pulp than endure the scorn, disapproval and mockery of most of the women I know. Fortunately, there are few that I know (or should I say STILL know) that have given it to me.  Now there are many men that know and will agree that women CAN be awful.   Women are great at manipulation and control if they want to be and there are VERY few things that a (any) woman CANNOT make a man do if she is really intent on making him do them.  She can also make a man VERY sorry in a way no other man can make him.  Yes, women can be awful. I have never felt the obligation to defend womankind.  I have never felt the need to make up for another woman's awfulness, or a group of wo...

CommUNITY

My girlfriend gave me this Christmas ornament.  This is a bad picture, but it says "The Commune" in the middle and RELAX on the upper left hand side.  Obviously, she takes me seriously....or so I thought. Then I started talking about the possibility of cohabitating in a dome shaped area.  She wasn't so sure she could handle that....something about ADD, and it not being very attractive. When I pointed out that it would be fireproof and tornado proof and required less "land clearing" than a standard structure good old Joel chimed in with the option of building a square shaped building out of fire proof material. From there on the conversation deteriorated amongst us until there was a conversation about living in mud/straw huts??????? I LOVE YOU GUYS! SERIOUSLY! You're wonderful and I don't count it against you, but NOW I again do NOT think you're taking ME seriously.   You really think we can live in rural Illinois in mud/straw huts?? Do you REAL...
