Ode to Yuppies

Yuppies


Drinking their strong coffee with Starbucks oatmeal
With a Red Bull Chaser
Whats it Chasing?
Chasing Dreams, Hopes. Like a bull seeing red
And red is a power color, good to wear for those interviews..
..but dreams can intertwine with Greed and Lust
What was the pursuit of happines can become a trap
Easy to fall into but hard to spot!
Unless you are careful


To be one of us, they say, is to embrace the Left
If you are an artist you have to have an "oh so open mind"
I beg to differ
I consider myself a creative one as well, embracing the right
because the right is so right..conservative can be cool
Much to their dismay..
I don't follow the "anything goes" games they play
Because following the rules might get me to heaven someday


Perhaps I sabatoge my own personal growth
but those growing pains can hurt so bad!
I like familiar territory, Like an old cat in her rocking chair.
Nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with the cat
So don't dismiss her
Embrace her
For who she is

The end

A little late night insight from me...:)
The irony here..I really love starbucks lol!

Pro Life voice needs to be heard!!!!

Please continue to pray for our unborn. As I drove my car past the protestors in front of an abortion clinic in my town I honked my horn and gave the thumbs up ..they are doing Gods work stopping women from killing their own children. I have protested with them and I can tell you it is not always safe to be a protestor, especially in bad parts of town where these clinics are but it is needed. Folks pray the Rosary 7 days a week and hold up signs, helping out on a rotating basis when their busy lives permit to fight this evil. I have not helped in a long time but I think I need to get out there and pray with them!!
If you can't protest please simply pray as that is warfare which is strong againt this evil which has been legal for way to many years.
God bless!!!
Watch this video and reflect...

The most amazing story I have ever heard!

I like this picture..its like Barry Manilow is saying..step right up here and sing with me Stacey!


This is a story..TRUE LIFE STORY of my friend Stacey, in her words...Thank you Stacey for letting me post this here to share. God bless..isn't God amazing..oh and Barry Manilow too!



Barry Manilow. Who? Those were my thoughts exactly when some family invited me to go sit in the front row at the Community Arts Center. A part in the show that is familiar to so many begins and the signs start appearing and people are screaming. Barry invites a lucky woman up on stage with him to sing a duet with him. Apparently, becoming a "Can't Smile Without You" girl is something to strive for in the Manilow world. The show ends and I go home. Who would have ever thought that this man would impact my life in such a way that he would be forever etched in my memory. Four days after this concert, I am lying in the ICU unit in a coma. The doctors and nurses tell my family to play music that I like in hopes that it could stir me from this state. Being an avid fan of Frank Sinatra, my mother begins to play some of his popular, well known tunes. To no avail, this does nothing for my current state. So she remembers the Barry Manilow concert I just attended with her and other family. Thinking that this relatively new memory would impact me in a way that would stir me from this unconscious state. Well...low and behold, it does just that. Barry's music is played and the very next day I start to emerge from this state of sleep. From that day on, his music is the only thing that gets me through the agitation stages of the coma and really just gives me a sense of calmness. Coming out of a coma is more than just waking up. There are many stages a person must go through to come completely out and Barry Manilow's music is what seemed to get me though it. Having never listened to his music before, I just couldn't get enough of it. I wrote letters to him and got responses from him and read and watched everything Barry Manilow. I spent obscene amounts of money and traveled all over to his shows hoping to just get a chance to meet this man in person. I make my way to Wilkes Barre, PA only to have the best seat I have ever had at a show. I make my way to the 17th row on the floor in front of the stage carrying with me a huge sign that says, "you saved my life Barry Manilow." The second half of the show starts and I hear the opening notes to Can't Smile Without You and the place goes wild. Everyone is standing with their signs in the air, including me, and I just know that I am going to get picked. I start to hear him reading a sign, "you saved my life Barry Manilow" and I just about die. He says, "come up here, lets hear that story." I run up on stage and just keep saying "oh my god, oh my god!" I get to kiss and hug and hold hands and sway to the music with this "ultimate showman." I could have just died right then and there and my life would have been complete. Unbeknown-st to me at the time, God was in complete control and I know He orchestrated the whole thing.

Pretty little Church

Pretty Little Church sitting by the brook
I went right past you without a second look
So beautiful, simple and pure
Your congregation I am sure you adore

Getting together on a crisp fall day
Ready to hear Gods Word today
Pretty Little Church.. do you know my heart?
Lighten my burdens, You are my new start

You are Gods house where we worship and pray
And talk about Jesus and the price He did pay
Pretty Little Church, I will make time for you
I surrender my heart, make me feel new!

a simple, pretty little poem by me
