Independence Day

 

The flashes of light reflecting off his glasses and into his tired eyes, recalling his military career as he watched the skies. His grandkids were there in wide-eyed wonder, not yet understanding what it means, seeing the explosions and hearing all this thunder. So, he took it upon himself to make sure they knew, starting with what he experienced in a brief review.

He trained with the best, but he knew this would be tough, riding in that Higgins boat and the seas, they were rough. Machine gun fire and explosions had filled the air, cries of his brothers who had landed before them and the ones around him in prayer. He never really considered himself a praying man, but became one that day going up against Japan.

The danger was real, and death was in sight, but he knew in his heart he was fighting for what was right. Their orders were clear and their target in sight, Mount Suribachi would be taken with Gods help and strong American might. He mustered up all his courage as they approached the beach, the door came open with the sound of bullet pings and a screech. The bravest men both young and old stormed the beach through the rain of fire and certain death bold. The ones who remained had made their way to the enemy’s nest, where most of the gunfire came from, the bulk of the contest. With the enemy removed and put to an open shame, they planted the stars and stripes on the mountain they claimed.

So many that day had lost their lives, fighting for our freedom against tyranny and strife. Take this day to celebrate the birth of this great nation, providing an example for future generations. Don't take it for granted and keep freedoms course remembering all gave some and some gave all this July Fourth.

The Porn Star

  Sitting in the rocking chair while sipping her tea, she thought of her life's choices that brought her here and where she could be. But she learned from her mom on how to make her money, contemplating the reason she had no stable hubby. She had posted hours of video doing the obscene, she wanted to make money, but she felt so unclean. If only there was a way out of doing this sin, objectifying her body before several culpable men. After a terrible night of tossing and turning, she had a dream of several men screaming while burning. She woke up alarmed and covered in sweat, wondering why she had a dream of men she'd never met. She went back to sleep and had another dream, but this time she was burning, it felt so extreme. She awoke the next morning and called her friends; they didn't know what to make of it or what it intends. Exhausted from her attempts to get a decent night's rest, she decided that taking a day off and a nap would be best. This time she had falle...

You Cannot Tame A Lion

  (Intro/Chorus) You Cannot Tame a Lion No, You Cannot Tame a Lion Under the Lion of Judah  (Repeat x2)     (Verse 1) Across the hills and valleys our roar can be heard, breaking through the darkest part, our victory assured. For our King is with us and He is on our side, we have nothing to fear, we are His Bride.     (Verse 2) We take part in what He has planned, we are His Body subduing this land. In a beautiful hue we are arrayed, a Rainbow of sorts, with His Glory displayed. He's called us to roar, and roar we do, He Rules Over All Rebellion and His reign is true.     (Bridge) We are called for such a time as this, we cannot be tamed and we will not miss. We are His Bride dressed and ready for battle, we are here to roar and to silence the enemies rattle.

Step out

  If you don’t see it, you’re going to hear it, when you hear it, you will begin to do it, and when you begin to do it, the Holy Spirit will walk you through it.  The healing power is available now for that which you seek relief, take a stand, and take My Hand and you will witness things beyond belief.  Step out in Faith, the Faith in My Word and practice those items you preach, I sent My Son, the battle is won, and in My Name the lost you will reach.  With your hand on the plow, you may not know how to do what I’ve called you to do, but don’t turn around, though the enemy surround, My Strong Right Hand will bring you through.  Blind eyes will see, the deaf ears will hear, and the lame will walk again, the miracles I cause will supersede physical laws, it is time for your ministry to begin.
