LET IT BE

Let it be

Let it be

A love

Of not innocence lost

But of

Innocence gained

Let it be

Not a love of lust

But a love

A love of pure innocence

Let it be

A love of kindness

Let it be

A love of two hearts

A love based

On the

Love of friendship

Well I guess

Just let it be love

The love of a friend

For a friend

FAMILY OF GOD

Families helping families

That’s the way it should be

After all

We all belong

To the same family

The human family

The family of God

We should all be one

The family of God

Reel in the darkness

Bring out the sun

People helping people

What a world

That would be

A world

Where no one was excluded

We would

All be set free

The family of God

We should all be one

The family of God

Reeling in the darkness

Bringing out the sun

The family of God

We can still be one

GOD PLEASE SET US FREE

Ps        “And may you live to see your children’s children”                  Psalm 128:6

            “And in him you too are being built together

              To become a dwelling in which God

              Lives by his spirit”                                                     Ephesians 2:19-22

            “HONOR your father and mother

              Which is the first commandment with a promise

LOVE  ME LIKE A ROCK

It is believed

That the second letter of Peter

Was written not long before his death

Peter---in his second letter

Addresses another major threat

To the church---false teachings

From within the church

Then as now

There were and are

Many false teachings

I want to encourage believers

To study the Word of God

On your own

So that

You can mature

In the true truth of God

“You are the ROCK

The one upon I will build my church”                                                   Matthew 16:18

Peter encourages us

In his second letter

To grow in Christ

By reading the Word of God

And obtaining proper knowledge of the Gospel

Peter encourages us

To develop a personal relationship

With Christ

And that if we do this

God’s righteousness will prevail

Peter teaches us

That deceit comes in many forms

But truth only in one

The truth of God

Peter teaches us

That maturity in God will come

As we develop a personal relationship with him

Peter preached in Rome after Christ’s crucifixion

and was crucified upside down there

Because he did not feel worthy

To be crucified in the same manner as Christ

For his love of Christ

And his love of the church we owe Peter

Much thanks---and we continue

To love you

LIKE THE ROCK

That you were for Christ

And he ROCK that you continue to be

For the church today

I LOOKED AT THE MOUNTAIN I LOOKEDAT LOVE

There’s a saying

That goes like

When you look

At the mountain long enough

You become the mountain

Well I hope

That that is true

Because I have looked

At the mountain

And I have looked at love

And I turned to love

To get me through

The mountains keep getting larger

My love keeps getting stronger

Will my love get me through

I looked at the mountain

I looked at love

Is my love

Strong enough to get me through

I looked at the mountain

I looked at love

I guess my love

Will have to do

I guess my love

Will have to do

Ps        “Jesus replied,

               And it will move

               NOTHING will be impossible for you”                         Matthew 17:20

IT JUST TAKES ONE—PT 2

Sometimes it just takes one

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to share

The world is really tough

And it just keeps going on

No matter what happens to you

Even when you are down and out

Sometimes it just takes one

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to notice

One person to share

When you were down

When you were out

When you were on the flat of your back

Maybe someone reached out to you

Sometimes it just takes one

When you get back up

Maybe you could be a person

A person to reach out to someone new

Because

Sometimes it just takes one

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to give

Another person hope

One person to share

One person to share

In another’s problems

Yeah sometimes

It just takes one

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to share

In another’s problems

One person share

Sometimes-IT JUST TAKES ONE

IT JUST TAKES ONE

It just takes one

To believe

It just takes one

To get it all started

It just takes one

To begin anew

It just takes one

So let it begin with you

The world is falling apart

We need a brand new start

So much selfishness

So much pride

When did we turn away

Turn away from God

Turn to the other side

It just takes one

To believe

It just takes one

To begin anew

It just takes one

So let it begin with you

The world is full of lies

The world is full of deception

We have built our world

On the wrong values

No wonder

We are all walking around

So confused

It just takes one

To believe

It just takes one

To see the truth

It just takes one

To begin anew

It just takes one

So let it begin with you

GOODBYES AND PEACE

Goodbyes are difficult

Goodbyes always

Cause someone pain

Goodbyes occur

For many reasons

A move, a death, a broken relationship

But as Jesus

Was leaving this world

Jesus said

I leave my peace

With you

It is the kind of peace

That is

Not the peace from this world

But a peace

In spite of this world

A peace that says

In every situation

I am with you

To trust God

And know

God will bring you safely home

God’s peace

Is a victory

Over the darkness of sin

In this world

It is a victory over

The coldness, the indifference, the selfishness

The ingratitude, the luke warmness

And rejection of this world

So please know

That whatever you are facing

In this world

And if you

Are facing

A goodbye for any reason

I wish you peace

GOD’S PEACE

Ps       “Great PEACE have those who love your law

            And nothing can make them stumble”                                             Psalm 119:165

             But envy rots the bones”                                                                  Proverbs14:30

            “PEACE I leave with you

             My PEACE I give to you

             I do not give to you as the world gives

             Do not let your hearts be troubled

             And DO NOT be afraid”                                                                 John 14:27             

         

FAILURE

God often

Gives us the tools

To be successful in life

The words to say

The words to write

The health to do

What needs to be done

The financial resources

To accomplish what needs to be done

The spiritual/emotional strength

To restore broken relationships

But what

If for some unknown reason

God wants us to fail

In a particular area

Or in ALL areas of our life

What then

The Bible says,

“Do not be afraid or discouraged

For the Lord, my God

Is with you

He will not fail you

Or forsake you

Until all the work

For the service of the Lord

Is finished”                                                              1 Chronicles 28:20

“I will maintain

My love to him forever

And my covenant with him

Will NEVER fail”                                                         Psalm 89:20

But what

If your intentions are pure

What if

Your intentions are totally unselfish

Your intentions

Are for GOD’S LOVE

To reenter---to what at times

Seems to be a God forsaken world

What then

I imagine

This is how Christ felt

When he uttered,

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me”

We must know

That through faith

That God has a plan

For our lives---for our world

A plan

That can make everything turn out perfect

Even when it looks like

Our life---and our world

Are turning out all wrong

“Every good and perfect work

Is from above”                                                         James 1:17

Jesus Christ

Was the perfect sacrifice for us

A GIFT OF PERFECT LOVE

For all of us

Failure---there is no such thing

In a life totally devoted to God

God CAN AND WILL

Have the FINAL WORD

In us and for us

If only we let him

“And we know that in ALL things

God works for the GOOD

Of those who love him

Who have been called

According to his purpose”                                                       Romans 8:28

Failure---no such thing

In a life and love---given freely to God

THE LITTLE THINGS OF LOVE

You say you want to be great

In the world’s eyes

Send someone a birthday card

Tell someone you are sorry

Do something nice for someone

Without being asked

Little things

The little things of love

You say you want to be famous

You say you want to be remembered

Visit someone in the hospital

Volunteer to help someone

Do something nice for someone

JOHN THE BAPTIST

Today is the feast

Of Jesus’ cousin, John

He was a forerunner

To Jesus’ message

Of peace and love

But he taught

In a way

Of fire and brimstone

He tried to

Prepare the way

For Jesus

He tried

To do what is right

He was rewarded

For his efforts

By someone

Cutting off his head

John had many followers

He even baptized Jesus

He was Jesus’ cousin

He was Jesus’

Forerunner in love

Robert P. Wallman

Ps        “Then Jesus came from Galilee

              To the Jordan to be baptized by John

              But John tried to deter him saying,

             “I need to be baptized by you

              And do you come to me?”

              Jesus replied,

              “Let it be so now

                It is proper for us

                To do this to fulfill all righteousness”

                Then John consented

               As soon as Jesus was baptized

               He went up out of the water

               At that moment-heaven was opened

               And he saw the SPIRIT OF GOD

               Descending like a dove and lighting on him

               And a voice from heaven said,

               “This is my Son-whom I love

                With him I am well pleased”                                               Matthew 3:13-17

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE

( the story of JOB )

ALL my life

I have been BLESSED

By having

The most amazing friends

But everyone

Is NOT that fortunate

Everyone does not

Have loyal and amazing friends

All we have to do

Is look to the Bible

To the story of Job

Job begins

As one of the wealthiest

And most prominent men

On the face of the earth

He fears God

And is upright in his living

God tells Satan,

“Have you considered

My servant Job

There is no one

On earth like him

He is blameless

And upright

A man who fears God

And shuns evil”                                                           Job 1:8

The devil basically says,

“Why wouldn’t he

He has everything---family-health-wealth

What if he were to lose everything”

God’s response,

“Very well then

Everything he has is in your hands

But on the man himself

Do not lay a finger”                                                      Job 1:12

The devil

Takes away

Job’s family, his health, and his wealth

Job has 3 friends:

Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar

They come to comfort

But they end up discussing his life

And insist his suffering

Is for some sin in his life

Which of us

Hasn’t had some friend

Sometime in our life

That though meaning well

Experienced some betrayal

Or little act of treason

From them

ALL of us have

And if we are lucky

Our friendship survives

Finally a fourth friend Elihu

Comes to see him

And tells Job

That he needs to humble himself before God

And let God purify him

Even Job’s own wife says,

“Are you still

Holding on to your integrity

Curse God and die”                                                                  Job 2:9

Yet despite his suffering

Job says to his wife,

“You are talking

Like a foolish woman

Shall we accept

GOOD from God-and not trouble”                                                Job 2:10

Finally Job does QUESTION GOD

And Job learns valuable lessons

About the NEED

To totally trust God

Because

God does RESTORE

Job’s health, happiness, and prosperity

Even beyond his earlier state

So when trouble

Confronts us in this life

I pray

That you and I have a heart like Job---

And the FAITH of Job

And that we KNOW

That God deserves our love

REGARDLESS of our lot in life

And that God is enough

I have one last wish for you

And that is

That you be BLESSED

With FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Like I have had

NOT like Job

JUST AS I AM

Just as I am

I come before you

My head bowed

And on my way to my knees

I would confess all my weaknesses

To you

But you already know

So what’s the point

Just as I am

You always loved me

Just as I am

I know you always will

I would perfect myself

If I could

But you already accepted me

Just as I am

Just as I am

You always loved me

Just as I am

I know you always will

I know you will

Love me

Just as I am

You love me

Just as I am

I HAVE A HUNGER

I have a hunger

For the Word of God

I have a hunger

For the love of another

I have a hunger

To take what is wrong

And make it right

I don’t know

What makes me this way

Bu I hate injustice

And I just love fair play

I hate

That people are starving

I hate

That people can’t get medical care

I hate everything unjust

Why can’t we learn

To live in a world

Where people will share

I have a hunger

For the Word of God

I have a hunger

For the love of another

I have a hunger

To take what is wrong

And make it right

I have a hunger

I have a hunger

HE HAD YOU AT HELLO

In a popular movie

From the 1990’s-called “Jerry McGuire”

The central characters-played by Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger-breakup

After a period of time-he comes back to tell her

How much he misses and loves her

In front of a large group of women-no less

She puts her hand over his mouth-and basically says,

“SHUT UP-you had me at hello”

We come into this world as babies

We come in screaming and crying

But we NEED NOT worry

GOD HAS US AT HELLO

“In the beginning

God created the heavens and the earth”                          Genesis 1:1

God called you

Created you out of nothing

To be SOMEONE

To be –A CHILD OF GOD

GOD HAD YOU FROM HELLO

He called you to be HIS CHILD

A child of God

“In the beginning

You laid the foundation

Of the earth

And the heavens

Are the work of your hands”                                          Psalm 102:25

From the beginning

Of our life

God HELD YOU in the palm of his hand

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD

“You created my inmost being

You knit me together

In my mother’s womb”                                                      Psalm 139:13

It can be a tough-cruel world out there

But we need not worry

GOD HAD YOU ( and me ) AT HELLO

ONE IN A MILLION YOU

I read the newspaper today

It says

That child-abuse is over-stated

It says the child-abuse statistics

Are over-inflated

Even if that is true

What if you are

The one that

It happened to

What if the one-in-a-million

Is you

One-in-a-million you

Has your life been destroyed

Can you recover

From this tragedy

Can you build a life

We pray for

The one-in-a million-you

We love

A FAMILY STORY

“A Shot and a Beer”            ( John and the cemetery  )

My Uncle John is/was one of the most family oriented people in my life.  He stood

By my family, and me, through every family situation.

My Uncle John had this tradition of remembering his Mother and Father, my Father

After he died, and many other family members.  Each December, he would drive to

The cemetery, and at each grave, have a shot of whiskey and/or a shot of beer, depending

On how he felt.

I was with him and his wife, Karen, a few times when they did this.  Kimberly, his

Daughter, was there too.  Uncle John died in 2006.  But when I get

Back to Pittsburgh, Uncle John, I’ll be by, and I’ll have one for you.

Respectfully submitted,

“Two Different Shoes”

My Dad did many “crazy” things in his life.  One of the funniest things he ever did was to wear

Two different shoes to work.  My Dad’s boss, George, a good deal younger than my Father,

Got a big kick out of it.

They were doing inventory that weekend, and when my Dad came to work that Saturday,

Everybody in the Company was standing there with two different shoes on.

My Father was the only one with the correct shoes on.

A FAMILY STORY--THE LOON WENT THE WRONG WAY--HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

“The Loon Went the Wrong Way”

When I was a child, the 4 families always went on vacation together for a week or two.  In the early

Years, we all went to Cape May, New Jersey.  In the later years, it was Ocean City, Maryland.

And finally, the Outer Banks, in North Carolina.  My Uncle John was the mastermind, and usually

2 families stayed together in side-by-side houses, or we all stayed in the same house.

One year, we were all traveling together to Ocean City, Maryland. We were all following each other,

And we all had CB radios.  That particular year, I believe we had 4 or 5 cars, with my Dad tucked in

Next-to-last.  My cousin, Donny, was last, to keep an eye on my Dad.

My Dad had a habit of doing his own thing and going the wrong way.  About a ½ an hour before a

Specific turn on our way down, everybody starts talking about how up here, at such-and-such mile-

Marker you have to “bear to your right.”

So we get to the mile-marker, the first 3 cars bear to the right, and my Dad keeps going straight.

My cousin, Donny,  starts screaming over the CB radio, “the loon ( as he was affectionately called ),

Went the wrong way.  The loon went the wrong way.”

To make a long story short, they chased us down, we continued on our trip, and we had a wonderful vacation..

Respectfully,

ABRAHAM---THE FATHER OF US ALL

Did you know

That ALL three monotheistic religions

Can be traced back to one man---

ABRAHAM

Judaism by virtue

Of Abraham and Sarah’s son-Isaac

Islam by virtue

Of Abraham and Hagar’s son-Ishmael

And Christianity

By the blood of Christ

On Joseph’s side

Being traced back to David

To Ruth ( whose son Obed is the grandfather of David )

And ultimately to Abraham

Three religions—ONE MAN

THE FATHER OF US ALL

( in a manner of speaking )

And ultimately God’s representative

As the Father of many nations

Do you KNOW the story of Abraham

Abram married a woman

By the name of Sarai

The Lord said to Abraham

“Leave you country

Your people and your father’s house

And go to the land that I will show you

I will make you

Into a great nation

And I will bless you

I will make your name great

And you will be a blessing

I will bless those

Who bless you

And whoever curses you I will curse

And ALL people on earth

Will be BLESSED through you”                                                Genesis 12:1-3

Don’t you think

We should focus

On what we have in common

Religion—OUR SPIRITUALITY

Has the power to UNITE us

If only we would think

The way

God wants us to think

God RENEWS

his covenant with Abraham

But Abraham becomes disillusioned

And says to the Lord,

“You have given me no children

So a servant in my household

Will be my heir”                                                              Genesis 15:3

The Lord tells Abraham

To KEEP the faith

That he will still have offspring

Keep in mind

That Abraham is 100 years old

And Sarai 90 years of age

Abram’s wife-Sarai-says to Abraham,

“The Lord has kept me

From having children

Go sleep with my maidservant

Perhaps I can build a family through her”                                     Genesis 16:2

So Abraham sleeps with the maid

And has a son named Ishmael

God changes Abram’s name to Abraham

And Sarai’s name to Sarah

God says to Abraham

“As for me,

“This is my covenant with you

You will be the father of many nations

No longer will you be call Abram

You will be called Abraham

For I have made you

A father of many nations

I will make you very fruitful

I will make nations of you

And kings will come from you

I will establish my covenant

As an everlasting covenant

Between you and me

And your descendants after you

For the generations to come

To be your God

And the God

Of your descendants after you”                                            Genesis 17:3-7

There you have it

Three different religions

Fathered by one man

Why don’t we

Focus on what we have in common

Why don’t we FOCUS ON LOVE

Why don’t we

Focus on Abraham

If we do this

Each and every person

In this world

Is a child of God

And our brother and our sister

Why don’t we

Focus on Abraham

The Father of us all

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY EVERYONE

I LOVE YOU!

            For he who LOVES HIS FELLOWMAN

            Has fulfilled the law”                                                    Romans 13:8

My father was kind

My father was loving

But more than that

He was a kid himself

He knew how to have fun

He loved his sports

We talked about it much

I’ll always have the memories

Of Forbes Field and the Pittsburgh Pirates

The street car and the White Tower

My father always had time for me

My father was kind

My father was loving

But more than that

He was a kid himself

He knew how to have fun

My father loved bowling on Friday night

My father liked a beer

My father

Loved his family and friends

Among others

We’ll never forget Walter and Ray

My father was kind

My father was loving

But more than that

He was a kid himself

He knew how to have fun

And when the end came

The last two years

He bore it

With the patience of a Saint

He was kind

He was loving

He had the faith of a child

He had the faith of a child
