CAR WINDOW POETRY

Poem #1

Think about what you are thinking!

If you do you'll be blinking!

And realize it's stinking thinking!

It's time to stop that stinking thinking!

Slowdown, sit down, quiet down!

Get down to the root!

Put your thoughts on mute!

You'll be glad, when you get rid of the sad!

You'll feel lighter and brighter!

Philippians 4:6-7


Poem #2

Stop move forward, toward the light 

it can be bright...but

He is worth the fight!

Jesus way is right!

He is so bright!

John 8:12

Poem #3

Now with all your might set your sight on what is right.

The golden rule is so cool...

If it pleases Jesus then its right!

You've got to be the light!

Poem #5 

Think about what you are thinking! 

Stop, plop, flop stinky thoughts!

This is your good mood food for the day!

Poem #6

Everything will be okay!

Hang on! Hold on! Pray!

New answers will come your way!

Jesus will not lead you astray!

For He knows the way!

Just say, "Help me."

You will see

how you'll feel free!

then all the strife.

Know Jesus, Know peace.

No Jesus, no peace.

think on such things.

TOMATO TOMAHTO-LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF

 listen to it again....Psalm 119

stop the song...verse 9 How can I young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.

continue...verse 19 I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.

continue...verse 36 Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.

continue...verse 50 My comfort in my suffering is this;  Your promise preserves my life.

continue...verse 63-64 I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts. The earth is filled with your love, Lord; teach me your decrees. (me-let all the earth rejoice)

continue...verse 66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.

continue...verse 68 You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees

continue...verse 73 Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

continue...verse 103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

continue...verse 105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

continue...verse 111 Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.

continue...verse 118 You reject all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come to nothing.

continue...verse 125 I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.

continue...verse 144 Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.

continue...verse 165 Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

continue...verse 175 Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.


Friends, I ask of the Lord why did you have me listen to this over and over. I stopped asking because I was praying, singing and adoring the Lord after the 3rd time. I was worshipping and I loved it.

Each time the same verses jumped out to me. I prayed along and declared with the Psalmist.

All that I can say...is try it...you may like it. 

We all like different scriptures. Some of these verses will talk to you others will talk to you more. 

In this old song...look it up...for the differences we have in the world we just have to hang in there and cling to Jesus for everything. We need to listen and stop finding differences and find the one truth that matters. Only one 1! Jesus!

Otherwise as the song goes. "But oh, if we call the whole thing off, then we must part and oh, if we ever part then that might break my heart."

Friends lets stick to what's important. Jesus Christ came into the world full of grace to extend grace. He paid the penalty for what was due to us. He suffered, die, rose again all for us to have new life. 

Jesus God or Jesus man.

We must agree! Jesus God!

FINALLY, WHATEVER IS TRUE

 Think about such things.

Phil. 4:8

True appears in my NIV new testament 20 times.

I like Revelation 19:9 "These are the true words of God". Revelation 22:6 "These words are trustworthy and true."

1 John 5:20 "He is the true God and eternal life."

He is true, bread of life, light, his testimony is true, true God, His words are true, true vine,

"Let God be true, and every man a liar." Romans 3:4

He is truth, He is true!
