November, 2007 As I am back in college now, after a 27 year hiatus, my writing has consisted of dull academic writing--literary and primary source document analyses. However, I'm now in a poetry class and decided to try to rework some of my old poems instead of writing everything from scratch. I'm ashamed at how much reworking they need. anyway, I do have a few poems that have
been reworked enough to be considered new--on the What's New Page.

QUOTES: 1.Everyone feels benevolent if nothing
happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for
all his othe vices by a conviction that "his heart's in the right place' and "he
wouldn't hurt a fly", though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a
fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy.

Glow-in-the-dark Christians
God is looking for a glimmer
Just a glimmer or a spark;
He is searching for some Christians
To glow in the dark!
An overwhelming cloud of evil
Seeks to swallow up the land:
See it slithering, rapacious;
See its jaws expand.
Then a beacon bright,
approaches
And the black cloud slinks away;
But more beacons still are needed
To keep the dark at bay.
Soon the lights will all be
taken,
In the vacuum, evil reigns
Until the Son returns in splendor
And the earth regains!
In the meantime, keep on
shining
As true children of His light;
It's time to watch, time to be working
not to sleep at night!

Matt. 5:16
You've lived your whole life
Avoiding the question
But the pothole grows larger,
It is gaping and wide.
Someday, you'll fall in--
But for now, you will skirt it;
You have taken that question
And pushed it aside.
You have faith in yourself,
In mankind or in Science;
You've swept God to a
bleak, dusty shelf of your mind.
You don't see the need
for a personal Savior;
And even if you did--
Well, you haven't the time.
God is all right for others--
As a crutch for the weak.
But you've managed without Him,
You have gotten along.
Yes, you've lived your whole life
denying eternity--
Denying God's judgment--
But what if you're wrong?

"Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
