Just some thoughts...

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

Living it Forward

Live out your imagination
not your history
Arthur Bryan
History is great
It truly is!
Some of my favorite people can be found there
It's a nice place to visit
But it is not a place to live
Living takes place in your today
 You are not who you were
and the world is not what it was
so
And that's poetiquejustis
Don’t ask, 
“Why were things better in the old days than they are now?”
 It isn’t wisdom that leads you to ask this!
Ecclesiastes 7:10

Routinely Speaking

 

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
Picasso

Repetition


Great when you are exercising


Not so great when you want an interesting life


Routine is not bad
it is a route, and knowing the route is good


Just change the route occasionally


The Land of "I have never done this before" 

is a very exciting place to be!

and that's poetiquejustis
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance
Proverbs 1:5

I'm Back

 

I have to learn to be myself again....that's all
Doris Lessing

What are you waiting for?
Pack it up!




Pack it in!


Peel off those labels that people have stuck on your life

 Unlock the real you
Get a handle on who you are

then take it on your road!
and that's poetiquejustis

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10

The Fact Is

It has never been natural for me to deviate from the facts of anything before me
Norman Rockwell

Look me in the eye

Stand before me- toe to toe


Put out your hand and give me a shake



 Now that wasn't so bad, was it?

Hello...I am who you have been

afraid to be

I am what you never thought you could do

I am what you never made time for
I am who you never  thought you had in you.

Well.... here I am
Been here all the time
Just waiting for you
and now that we have met- 
let's go live some life together!
 
Einstein said:
 Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Limits?
Accepted.
Now- go!
and that's poetiquejustis

Well done, good and faithful servant. 
You have been faithful in a few things
I will put you in charge of many.
Matthew 25:23

With All Your Heart

 




The path is your to choose
The song is yours to sing
The words are yours to say
This life is yours to live
So what is stopping you
from doing it
with all your heart?
That is the question
and that's poetiquejustis
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21

On the Ball

Pitching is the art of instilling fear
Sandy Koufax




Look that pitcher in the eye




Get your stance right
Focus!


Here comes the pitch


THWACK


That's right, Life


You can throw me a curve
and I am still going to hit it
out of the park

and that's poetiquejustis

                                               Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Timothy 4:2

More Than Conquerors

 

Real difficulties can be overcome
It is only the imagined ones that are unconquerable

Theodore Vail, Industrialist

We all know that we should choose our battles


Wage the righteous wars


Know our enemy


All well and good

But make sure there is really a battle


Really a war

and really an enemy

Before you take on the fight

and that's poetiquejustis
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen,
 slow to speak 
and slow to become angry
James 1:19

Because You DO Have A Song

A bird does not sing because it has an answer.
It sings because it has a song
Lou Holtz


Life is not waiting for your answers

Life is not even waiting for your questions


Life is not tapping its toe until you give it logic

certainly not logic


And life does not care if you give it 



or a 


Life just wants you to 


and maybe a bit of a song
so today-
find your song
and sing it!

and that's poetiquejustis
Praise the LORD! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!
Psalm 147:1
