FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

 

 

I live

For the glory of God

I love

For the glory of God

Everything I do is

For the glory of God

 

I’m trying to buy some time

I’m looking all around

But it doesn’t matter how much money I have

Time keeps moving on

But I still keep living

For the Glory of God

 

It seems I’m a prisoner in this life

With my health the way that it is

I know I’ll never have a normal life

But that wasn’t my decision

It was his

 

I don’t have very much money

Soon I won’t have a car

There’s a god chance I may never have a wife

And along with that

Goes the hope for kids

 

I really can’t live for today

With my health the way that it is

But I keep going out every day

To do the best that I can

Why do I do it

 

Because I live

For the glory of God

Because I love

For the glory of God

Because everything I do is

For the glory of God

 

I know that I can’t live for today

But I keep telling myself maybe there’s a way

That someday things will change

And not to worry

About this time you couldn’t buy or borrow

Because if things do change

The world will still be there tomorrow

 

I keep believing

For the glory of God

I keep on loving

For the glory of God

Everything I do is

For the glory of God

 

Even if I never have a tomorrow

I’ll keep looking to unlock the door

All the time I’m looking

My positive energy will be being restored

Although I can’t live for myself today

I’ll still try to make others happy

For without a wife

If there’s a woman out there who needs a lover or a friend

I can give her my whole heart and soul for a night

And try to make her feel right again

And without my own kids

All the children that I meet

I’ll try to show them all my love

Like they were my very own

Something they might otherwise never see

 

Well whatever happens

I’ll keep on living

For the glory of God

I’ll keep on loving

For the glory of God

Whatever I do is

For the glory of God

Ps              A deeply personal piece that I wrote many years ago.

 

THE EPIPHANY

 

 

 

 

 

THE EPIPHANY

 

 

Do you know

What the word epiphany means

 

Maybe you have even said,

“I had an epiphany moment”

 

It means

To have a moment of revelation or insight

Usually through

Some simple or common occurrence or experience

 

In Christianity---specifically---it means

The manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles

In the persons of the Magi—the 3 wise men

 

I wonder if they new---really knew

That they were looking at God himself

All those years ago

 

Did they really have an epiphany

At that very moment

 

I don’t know

But I do know this

 

In Matthew 2

He tells us the story,

 

“Magi from the east

Came to Jerusalem and asked,

“Where is the one

Who was born King of the Jews

We saw his star in the east

And have come to worship him”

 

Pretty smart---these 3 wise men

 

And they brought

Gifts befitting a King

Gold---incense---and myrrh

 

And I do know this

Herod was worried enough

About his kingship

To want to kill our newborn baby Jesus---our King

 

Herod met with the magi

And asked them to report to him

Where OUR BABY KING could be found

In order to kill him

 

But the magi

Were warned in a dream

So they did NOT go back to Herod

And returned home

By another route

 

Pretty smart---these 3 wise men

I guess they did have an Epiphany after all

 

“But you Bethlehem

In the land of Judah

Are by no means

Least among the rulers of Judah;

 

For out of you

Will come a ruler

Who will be the Shepherd

Of my people Israel”                                                         Matthew 2:6

 

I wonder---WHEN or if

OUR EPIPHANY MOMENT

 

Is going to come in today’s world

A FAMILY IS

 

 

A family is Life

A family is Love

A family is God’s Light

Shining on us

From up above

 

A family is

Loving each other

Even when we don’t like them

A family is

Being kind to each other

When we don’t want to

 

A family is Life

A family is Love

A family is GOD’S Light

Shining on us

From up above

 

A family is accepting each other

Accepting them for who they are

Not who you want them to be

 

A family is FORGIVING each other

When they acted in a way

That we don’t understand

Or

When they don’t even try

To lend a hand

 

A family is Life

A family is Love

A family is GOD’S Light

Shining on us

From up above

 

A FAMILY IS LOVE

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque is the patron Saint of families

Her feast day is October 17^th, the date on which she died

At the age of 43

 

She experienced a series of visions of Christ---

Which were later authenticated---and brought much needed

Devotion back to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

THE 22nd BIRTHDAY MIRACLE!

 

I REMEMBER THIS=like it was yesterday      =let us make

2026=THE YEAR=that GOD”S LOVE=reaches all his CHILDREN=

Which is all of us

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR=January 1^st=2025 and 2026

 

 

 

 

JANUARY 1^st, 2012  and 2026

 

 

THE TWENTY-SECOND BIRTHDAY MIRACLE

 

 

On the evening of January 18^th, 1977 the night before my twenty-second

Birthday, I developed massive pain through my groin area.  I refused to go

To the hospital.  I even went to work the next day.  However, the pain

Proved to be too great.

 

I called home and a friend came and took me to Saint John’s hospital.  I

Had a preoperative of a ruptured meckel’s diverticulum.  This was my

Twenty-second birthday.  Subsequent to the operation, I developed gangrene,

Peritonitis, and a 108-degree fever.  I was packed in an ice bed.  I developed

Surgical shock and my blood count went down to three.

 

Doctor Christian worked furiously to try and get more IV’s into me.  The

Catholic priest, Father Joseph Newell, was called in for me to make my final

Confession.  He asked me if I wanted to make an Act of Contrition or say

Something in my own words.  If it was the last thing that I ever said, I wanted

It to be in my own words.  What I said was:  “I don’t think God wants me to

Die, but if he does, there must be a reason.  But if he wants me to live, I would

Live for my family, my friends, and for all people everywhere.  And if I do die,

Please bless my father, my mother, my 2 sisters, my family, my friends, and my

Work.  Because it would be harder on them, than it would be on me.”

 

Two weeks later, I woke up alive.
