by Joe Cyr
(hymn)
“. . . If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. . . .” Matthew 17
Nothing shall be impossible
‘though breakers crash ahead;
if trust in Him stay unshakable,
we have little here to dread.
My faith shall be the power source

Heaven

What is Heaven really like? Dare we explore the question?
Or is it disrespectful to make such a suggestion?
Now, God has blessed mankind with insatiable curiosity,
and therefore ‘tis proper to examine the philosophy
of eternal just reward for whom countless people pray,
who yearn to be with their God
on that fateful Judgment Day.

At the Golden Dawn of Understanding
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
It was late in gorgeous springtime, and I was teaching my class,
A lesson in African history, and the events of time's hourglass.
My fourth graders were very attentive, as I recounted the glory,
Of tales such as Mansa Musa's, maybe the richest man in history!
Sultan of Mali was Mansa Musa, during the far off Middle Ages,
The world's largest gold producers maybe, say the history sages.
When Mali consisted of 400 cities, he was a patron of the arts.

Discipleship
by Joycelyn Eshun
Christianity is now considered as a race,
Members all struggling to the finish line without helping their own.
With the passing of time and changing of tides,
Our churches now filled with the notion of 'each one for himself, God for us all'.
But we all a role we must play,
From the pastor to the little child
In the building of the Kingdom of God.
We all might not raise the dead, heal the sick or part the sea,

ST FRANCIS AND ST CLARE : TWIN SOULS
by Ghairo Daniels
separated by vows of abstinence but
forever bonded by Light entwined
two parallel Orders twinned
in material poverty firm endured
with One Heart beating to
missions of Love ordained
in living Truth never adjourned
vessels of opposite gender
each frolicking happy dancing

Prayer
by Joe Cyr
Prayer is how we officially converse
with the majestic King of the universe.
From castle grand or house of sod,
Prayer lets us commune with our God.
To glorify Him Who loves us all;
thank Him for favors large and small.
To ask for patience and strength sustain
for trials ahead - to accept pain.
Prayers are used to seek support

How We Pray
by Joe Cyr
The focus of the lesson today
is the manner in which we pray.
Some pray with lips that mouth each proper word;
others do good deeds, ‘though they’re seldom heard.
Some pray too loudly, as if God were unhearing;
many strut proudly, with manner overbearing.
Some criticize others who pray less stylishly,
but isn’t that just a form of unjust hypocrisy?

If I Had the Time
by Joe Cyr
(couplets)
If I had the time, I could do much more;
if I had the time, I could all outscore.
I could work hard to improve everything;
given the time, I could do most anything.
Like pay more attention to my spouse;
and do those odd chores around the house.
