Follow
the birds in flight..


- and if you should fall
and hurt yourself
just pick up
a fistful of dust
from a moving road
to smear
on living wounds


- and if you should choke
inside clouds
of flying earth
reach out and catch
a fistful of morning air
from falling nights




Move on
always
for if you should stop
wounds will harden
under muddy coats


Worlds will shrink
Time will die
Words will break
inside choking throats, and
dead memories will reign
over a paralysed past.

A NEW DAWN IS BORN..
By Rooma Mehra

When dreams are done
and the night stretches on
Murdered moments, minutes, hours
but the night stretches on..

Dragging feet trying to escape
- Nothing â tags along â heavy
Memories erased, so long ago
but â nothing â tags along â heavy

Covered an inch, a foot, a step
and dawn is miles away
on the other side of the mountain
Dawn is m i l e s away

Fall, lie back, conjure up a vision
but memories have been erased
When the end began its stumbling journey
All memories were erased

Get up, go, another step
The night must be spent
Dawn lies at the end of night
The night must be spent
Give up, surrender to the night within
but sleep is blanked out past
The day is miles, mountains away
and sleep is blanked out past

Draw an illusion with heartburn
on the canvas of the night
But ashes mingle with ashes
on the canvas of the night

Night falls heavy on lidless eyes
Glowing embers from the fire within
Look into a mirror to see two suns
Glowing embers from the fire within

And a dawn
is born
from the ashes
of dreams

Prayer is all about relationship - just ask the Queen or the President. Be careful about knocking at the door of the Castle or the Oval Office, unless of course you are the Prince or the President's kid.

John 3:13-15 No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven — the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.

• God is teaching us through this historical event what what it is to worship Him.

• It is a serious snake-bitten, sin-ridden people towards God's display of mercy.

• The holy, battered, bloody, mutilated Son of God is held high for the redemption of men.
• The vertical style is between God and You... keep it real

• Worship is the response of the whole being—heart, soul, mind, strength—to beholding God's glory.
o The Holy Spirit empowers it.
o It is fixated on gospel truth.

• We don't automatically figure out what pleases God it involves personal and corporate expressions.

• We beings are hard-wired for worship. Thus, worship, of someone or something, is certain.

• The worship that pleases God—worship from a heart and loves Him—is only possible by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Late last month, Jessica Robles of Miami, Florida was desperate enough for food that she visited a supermarket, filled her cart with $300 worth of groceries, and attempted to leave without paying. Robles was stopped by Vicki Thomas, a 23-year police veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Department. Instead of arresting Robles, Thomas spent $100 of her own money on groceries for Robles and gave her family a ride home.
