Move, Move, Move!
Trying to get it Together
Move, Move, Move
Where is it you want me to go?

I have no place to lay my head...
Jesus said the same.
Lo and behold: this is no game

Jesus was King and still laid his head on the ground
I grapple and spit just trying to get my own crown

Pound after Pound
I enter into round two
Maybe I'll learn a TKO from Mayweatherm 
Maybe I'll cause some knockouts
Possibly win
Whatdoya think boo-boo?

Move Move Move!
I'll figure something out...

Father God

 oio come to You this day with great joy and  
thanksgiving in my heart for allowing me 
to live yet another beautiful day for You.
Thank you Lord for this new day. Oio am 
grateful for this fresh opportunity to 
demonstrate, by my actions, that You are my 
God.   Give me the strength and the courage 
to tell at least one  person about Your Son, 
Jesus and what he is currently doing in oio 
my life.

Forgive me Father for oio am less than perfect.  Show
me where oio fail You.  Further my instructions in 
Your Son's  ways of Love, Compassion, forgiveness 
and Humility, in my endeavor to become more 
Christ Like in my everyday life.

God oio ask for your wisdom and guidance on 
this journey today.  Help me to be more
empathetic so that oio can better understand 
those You set before me, so,that oio can learn
where kindness and comfort are needed.  

Lord oio know that from clay You formed me 
that with bone and sinew, You stitched
me together. Oio also know that when oio die
to dust you will surely return me. oio pray humbly
that my journey today will be
fruitful in your name.

Father, oio cry out for the loss of my family
and friends. Oio ask for Your comfort and 
healing .  But not just for me, but those 
who have also experienced these losses too.

Lastly, Lord, oio pray for my enemies and . 
those who harm Your living things. Oio ask 
that you  bestow many blessings upon
them in order they will come to know You.
Father, oio ask all of these in the name 
of your Son and my Savior.  Jesus

AMEN

Hand on my Bible, it’s my only gun son.
Jesus my 3:16 so it’s already won.
No need to be stressin
For Trust In God is my blessin
With Weezy, Usher and Mz B we blessin
Memphis and its soldiers we comin up testin
All y’all fools Dope Boys know the rules
That’s why we prayin and confessin
No need for them vests then
Cause John 3:16 is my Golden Rule.
Hand’s on my Bible it’s my only gun son
With Jesus, Weezy and Usher I don’t need another one.

He is among us but he is not of us.   
Though many will say that he is.  
He prowls and hides in plain sight 
using the homeless as a shield to his name.
yet those who are responsible 
to bring him to justice never see him.  
Instead they see only us and we pay and pay 
serving the time that he owes 
Hundreds maybe thousands serving the time he owes in our jails 
which are filled with innocents and victims of his crimes. 

Who are his customers?  The poor?  
Well a few...  but mostly the rich.  
Drugs cost money.  A lot of money.
Something the homeless are short on.
The rich however...  money to burn.
Some of which they burn up in patronizing his business.

I want to be a living testimony
Yes this is true To tell of my
LORD's great joy, love and mercy 
and to what He can do 
His love: is so awesome there is nothing He can't do. 
He even saved an old fool like me that was doing the devil's do
Then along came my angel to be my Queen
I found myself changing as 
I as I always wanted to do but I know I would have to pay
for doing the devil's do But yes, the LORD kept
His promise just like He said He would do 
when two come into an agreement; 
on His word It shall come true
So now it's up to me to do my part 
As I said I would do to be: a "Living Testimony" 
to what the LORD can do! Just open the door 
and let Him in your heart cause He did it for me, 
so I know He can do it for you

Didn't you know it
know it would be so
After a life of chaos and opportunity
    The End
        is a steady flow of monotony
There is plenty of pain
     steady and unyielding in its hold 
     dulled in its acuteness
        but its deep ache unrelenting

The end has lost its effectiveness
    to accelerate chaos
        not that it needs to do so 
                at this point

Its job of squelching 
    opportunity has long been accomplished
    and therefore pain has not lost its value
    with the loss of OPPORTUNITY
    Hope is nothingness but a thread
        A thread that has been soaked in oil and set aflame
    It will quickly be severed
    Its  resiliency to grasp... long lost

Where did it all go?   THE TIME
     There was so much of it before THE END
          Passing Day
               by week
                   by month
                          by year
                              by decade and beyond....

The end has no care
     of the passing
    on unavoidable journey
     whose path and time
     had been set before the start

Pointless
          for the lack of consequence

Could anything have truly
    been changed
        and then
to what

    END

Who’s going to care for me when I'm homeless and alone.  
Who’s going to care for me when my country is no longer strange and gone.
Who’s going to care for me I have no family.
Who's going to care for me when my feet are frozen and gone.
Who’s going to care for me when I have not food and everything is wrong.
Who’s going to care for me when I am homeless.
This is what it means to be free.

I always likes seeing how encouraging that Oggie was to his son
and his son to him...mutual encouragement much like God and what he want from us

“That's my boy!” “Dear old dad.”   

Happily they amble from episode to episode together
with a constant banter of encouragement
no insults or dares just plenty of appreciation for the fact that they are together.

You ever wonder why we are not this way with God?
Is he not the perfect father easy to appreciate and love
And who loves us despite ourselves.

That's my friend he says with joy as he enters the coffee shop
I AM glad to see you my friend.
Tell me please how you are...
Are you well? I hope so because I AM.

here I got you a present because I AM
the one who knows how much you need it.
If you have something you need to say
I AM the one who will always listen.

I AM glad to see you as well.
How long has it been since we saw each other last?
I AM always thinking about you here or not
Thank you for the present I AM in need

I AM grateful about how well you know me
even better than I know myself sometimes
I AM about to confess my troubles to you
I AM confident that your patience with me will see me through

Thank you for that trust my friend.
I AM grateful that you would feel safe enough to share with me
I AM one you can always rely on
and I AM glad you do.

The prophet said to the people, "Do not congregate in the road."

The people said, "We have no choice, for we have no other place to gather and talk."

The prophet said, "If you must congregate in the way, observe the Seven Rights of the Way."

"The first right of the way is to greet others and to return greetings."

"The second right of the way is to avert the gaze from that which should not be gazed upon, such as other men's wealth, other men's women, and other men's children."

"The third right of the way is to do no harm."

"The fourth right of the way is to enjoin good and forbid evil."

"The fifth right of the way is to remove harm from the way."

"The sixth right of the way is to give directions to travelers."

"The seventh right of the way is to not excrete in the way or under the trees where travelers must rest."
