Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Starting With Tomorrow

Starting with tomorrow, and for the remainder of his life
how he chose to fill his days
was up to him.
Ray Shepherd: The Christmas Store 

No matter where tomorrow finds you



No matter what the world tells you



No matter what the weather forecast



No matter what the news may broadcast

                                               
                                                You choose what your soul lets in to stay
                                                 Yes, today, tomorrow and everyday
                                                          
                               
                                                           And that's poetiquejustis

Break that Date

Necessity makes even the timid brave. 
Sallust




Does something have you cornered?

Something in your face?

Someone got you worried?

 So you cannot run your race?
Something you are hiding

Is there someone that you fear

Is there an inTIMIDate on your calendar?

Then let me make this clear!

Tell that bullying thought you don't have time

then watch it shrink away


Break that inTIMIDate

and let the sun come out
And be your own best friend and hero

today
and that's poetiquejustis
 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Ephesians 6:10

Ode to a Potato

What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.
A.A. Milne
 
 
I have learned a lot from the noble potato



They see it all, 



but do not say very much


They know how to keep a low pro…..


They can take the heat, without getting bent out of shape


And even when they are fried,
  they find a way to add some color to their life


You can smash them, mash them or pummel them


They still will butter up and be a comfort

And even if they get a little cheesy….


It's OK..because when you're hot

You're Hot

 and that's poetiquejustis
But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

What's Up Ahead?







  I hope that in this year to come,
 you make mistakes. 
Because if you are making mistakes, 
then you are making new things, 
trying new things, 
learning, living, 
pushing yourself,
 changing yourself,
 changing your world. 
You're doing things you've never done before, 
and more importantly, you're doing something.
 Neil Gaiman

Let's meet here - right here



one year from today


What will you say?



Where will you have been?



What will you have done



What will you have seen



Who will you have helped



What will you know that you did not know before?


I will be here and waiting to hear!


Now - off with you!
Have a little faith!

 Go find the new


It will not wait for you forever




And that's poetiquejustis
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for.
It is the evidence of the things we cannot see.

Simply This

'There is something simple and good
in all this.'
Cherringham-  Matthew Costello


Remember when facts did not need to be checked

And truth did not need to be re-defined?
 When we were not afraid to open the paper



Or talk to a friend about current affairs

Seems to me, things were a lot 
kinder

simpler

and friendly

not that long ago.

I say we  find it-
walk away from the darkness
                                                                    In to the light

It is that simple
and that's poetiquejustis
                                                        
                                                              Seek peace and pursue it.
Psalm 34:14
