Police tale

As a police it is our duty to stop the bad guys. but there was a very funny but sad incidence that is too funny. I can't even begin to describe how funny it was. We go to the guy's house on a call that he is disturbing the neighbors. We knock on the door and an 80 year old guy opens it and says, "I am sorry officer I am not the guy who was being annoying, it was the girl next door." 
"But sir, we got a complaint about this house."
"Yes, because Judy is just upset I won't go out with her."
We went next door to talk to "Judy" and what we found was normal, so we left the case alone.
The next day we got another call, from said Judy. We ignored it until we heard the butt-dialing of her conversation on her home phone, no Jimmy they don't suspect a thing, they don't know where married so I think it is legal for me to have them come over to my house. Your the best husband ever to let me check out the young fellows." We then a muffled reply on the phone, "I'm just glad you let me sleep in my own house, young girls come in and take care of me all the time!"
This was such a peculiar conversation that I couldn't help but go over and talk to this couple again. Their explanation was that, after they die they have to live next to each other in their graves, so why waste time looking at young cuties instead of looking at their wrinkles.
A couple of weeks later Judy called me again, "Jimmy is dead, one of the young chicks from the funeral came in and took him in, I knew they just wanted his body!"

Tis the Season

Tis the season of giving, but who really got the biggest gift? We are fortunate enough to have a heavenly father who gave us the most. Sending his son to suffer and eventually die for us was the best gift anyone could receive. Sure the presents we get are nice, even amazing, that still doesn't mean that we should forget what Christmas is really about. After all, Jesus is the real reason we celebrate the holidays, without him there would be no Birthday worth rejoicing with frankincense and myrrh. He is the candle that lit our way to heaven, the Messiah. Spending time with family is really important too, but we need to treasure the life that came to save ours. He was swaddling in cloths and lying in a manager. There was room in the inn, for the king of the world. As a babe, he was laid in a wooden trough and when he was killed he carried a wooden cross. Spreading his light across the world and living by his example is a way that we can give back to the Lord who sacrificed so much for us. We live in a cruel world where everyone fends for themselves. This new year is coming around rapidly, and with it is new opportunities. Chances for us to show the earth how much he cares about you and me. He called us to be his messengers, and share the good news. Jesus is not dead, he lives in us as a light through the darkness. No matter who you are, whether you are the richest person ever, or just slipping on by. He loves us all the same, he wasn't crucified for the perfect. He was killed so that the sinners, tax collectors, Pharisees, ordinary people like you and me, all of us could be reborn. I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Remember the reason for the the season, in this season of receiving. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Rejoice in him

It's that time of the year again. The son of God was sent to save the captive Israel and nations beyond. Lord our God sent apostles to preach the good news of a savior coming to thee to save our sorry land. Rejoice, Emanuel came to rescue the sinners, heal the blind, to raise up the dead. For the price of his blood we have been saved. By his testimony, and word which we live by. We all know the story of Mary and Joseph, traveling to Bethlehem to get registered. There was no room in the inn. The son, the great I am, a baby boy laying in a wooden cradle. He was sent into the world, perfect in every way, so pure his crimson blood spent for us. His gift of love spread out for all mankind to see. Joy to the world, earth is receiving a king unlike any other. Christmas is not only a time to come together and open presents, its to recognize what Jesus sacrificed on our behalf. Appreciate and rejoice, for God so loved the world he sent his only begotten son. Not only to save the fortunate and prideful, but to call the broken home to him. Happy Holidays everybody!!!

Noelle

Noel means Christmas, the time when Jesus came to the earth
Noelle on the other hand means……

Never going to be like anyone else
Originally original
Everyone questions but knows is right
Loves to love and loves to be loved in all the lovable ways
Living by the grace and mercy of God
Excitingly crazy and off the walls

me to see

If I told you my story would it make a difference?
If I gave you a list of all things you should and shouldn’t do would you listen?
Does it really matter what I do in my life if people can’t say that they knew me?
I don’t just mean the me they thought that they knew
on the inside I could be completely different.
There isn’t really much to tell in the life of, well, me.
If we go through day to day life without really seeing,
are we even being who we should be being?
My life's one big complicated mess.
But I promise you, I try my best.
Don’t tell me I’m different for I know
I’ve been told plenty of times before
But life would be so dull
Without sparks to brighten it all
People need to smile more
Welcome people in
Open the door
Don’t demand to get something in return, get more
For I know people who are greedy and scared
Karma may come back and bite you in the rear
So give with an open heart
Be who you are
Don’t let someone tear you apart
We are free to be who we want to be
I am a nerd
A crazy kid trying to have a “life”
Doing all that I do
Just to be called absurd
To be called a friend to all
I want to be liked
For people to look at me and be appalled
But this isn’t really the me
I need people to see
What’s wrong with being different?
Boring is sameness
I don’t want to be the lamest
The people who care who I am are the least blameless
Gotta love being famous!
Of course the only people who know me
Are the people who have the guts

To put up with the crazy me, being a goof nut

Football

“Two, four, set, HUT!!!”
Tackling and sacking the other team with care
Coming at you like a big brown bear
This sport is tough and mighty
Running around left and right
Coming barreling around the refs barely in sight
The format is tight
Blowing the whistle because of something to say
Wow, now look, there’s a flag on the play
Sure this doesn’t take as much work as swim
But during this sport you can get rough and still win
Football is a dream, and a mindset
It takes quick thinking, I bet
So many different teams to compete
Who will win? I sit on my cold seat
Scared to think of what might happen
Was the running back in?
Did the ref take action?
Will he call it, what will he say?
This timeout may take all day
It’s good, he’s safe
they judged it with no haste
Now it’s a race
The crowds all burst into cheer
We scored a touchdown
Can’t you hear
There is now no fear
We will beat the other team
Our new undefeated score to redeem
Or so it would seem
Unless our defensive side doesn’t hold their line
And the other side breaks through mine
We huddle again
This is of course the top ten
Come on, let’s destroy them
Will win the gem
Take home our victory
Let’s all say
We won the game
Our players will be in the hall of fame
But no we will feel the loss all the same
Nice try, to all the rest
For in my book you are still the best!!!!

Dogs

Dogs are the most lovable creatures of all
sure some may say cats are better
but after seeing a dog you're more likely to get her
Or a boy
Sure they may be more likely pee
But you will see
My dog is the best
he may eat my homework, eat a test
He is unlike all of the rest
He may make a mess, be very muddy
But you’ve got love your pet
Why of course, they are your buddy
You treat them with love and care
Even though they may get into your clothes
How is that fair?
They may go out too much
Want to play when you're trying to sleep
You may not want to keep them
But the truth is they are your family
All pets are extraordinary
They may do things to aggravate us
But pets in households should be a must

Weddings

Weddings, a beautiful time in a person's life when they commit themselves to another person for life. Congratulations to all the couples who have had a happy marriage, that has and will prosper as long as they both shall live. God lives within marriage, and if you devote yourselves to the Lord and follow him, you will prosper. Now I may not like weddings for the fact that they are boring and the food may not be promising. But every time I go to one my eyes are opened to what the God is doing in the lives of so many people around me. Be thankful for the relationships you have, some may not last, but they build your character. Next time you are at a wedding be appreciative, you are celebrating a joyous occasion, after all.

The long walk home

When you listen to your dad, things may not go as planned. When things don’t go as planned, you may end up stuck in the mountains. When you get stuck in the mountains, you run low on food. When you run low on food, you get hangry. When you get hangry, things go downhill...fast.
The place was Tennessee, family vacation of sometime in the past. We were “bonding” as our parents had put it and we are an adventurous family. Sometimes too adventurous for our own good. Well, we were going to go on a short trip to the falls at the top of the mountains. Following a trail should be fine, right? When you have to leap over a brook to get to the trail, well that should be a flag right there. Being our family, we just trudged along and were going into a 7 hour journey...unprepared. That was a very long day. To be honest, I never thought I would get sick of mountains, believe me I did. We wandered and wandered and finally found our way out by a "majorly" private road. Luckily, afterwards we all went to a restaurant and pigged out at the all you can eat buffet. This is only one of the many, many experiences we have gone through as a family. I love my family, and we could have all the interesting extravaganzas we may. However, we have grown closer because of it!

People's perspective

People see things differently
people have different aspects on life
When you walk a mile in their shoes you learn something
You learn that they are going through different challenges than you
their struggles are not their own
when people take a moment to see people they see their lives
They see more than just what is on the outside but what matters most
We take what we have for granted
we don’t realize what we have until it's taken away
People see things differently

People see things differently
Life works in strange ways,
we are given challenges unique
no situation is the same
we try to understand what others are going through
we try to grasp it but we don’t what they are feeling
To know how one feels, to really know, is something that can’t be done
We can’t get inside someone’s head, identify one’s thoughts
Trying to comprehend their emotions makes us strain
knowing them is like trying to be as them, within the vicinity that is in their mind
People see things differently

People see things differently
We all try to change others opinions
We try to make them see the way we do
We are not open to a new perspective
We force them to feel a certain way towards something
But every view is unique
They may not understand what happens to you
They may not know your perspective on life
God knows the way we see things
But others don’t
We can’t change that
People see differently

Religion vs. Spirituality

What do people mean when they say religious?
The word Religion, is a word often used toward people who go to church
But why not call it spiritual?
Spiritual is a much better word than Religious
Religious is more like a label
People misuse it so much its crazy
My faith is spiritual
One that you can put a label like religion on
Religion by definition is a particular system
But in reality our faith is so much more than that
We don't rely on a chart that says we must do this at this time with that certain idea
Instead we follow God's own heart the way he wants us to
He leads us, and sure we screw up
We are only human after all, not the Messiah
But God knows that, that is why he sent Jesus
As a way of saying, "I know your not perfect, and that is why I sent my son."
As a proclamation of saying, "I love you no matter how many sins you have, Follow me child."
He has set us free
This is not just some religion, It takes God's gift of mercy and faith
It is our spirituality that God's grace lives through
Let our life be His example
To all those people out there who have been prosecuted
I am thankful that I live in a country that has freedom of religion
Thankful that I can celebrate the good news of God and my spirituality
For the grace of God is my salvation
I will stand upon his word, nothing can tear me down
He has saved me and so many others
This is not religion this is faith
By definiton

Popular in Society

What does it mean to be popular?
To be affiliated with a certain crowd?
Popular is a stereotype often used in school
Does popular mean you have to be known to be liked?
If so I wouldn’t know or want to know what it feels like to be popular
I may be rejected by the normal crowd, distant from them
But that doesn’t mean anything in the real world
I don’t need other people’s approval to feel special
God loves us all no matter our social rank
When we get to heaven we all will be equal
Sure, I don’t fit in, I stand out
Sure, I am not normal, I am different
But many people who were different did outstanding things
The Wright Brothers were probably told they didn’t fit in
Galileo was called insane, not genius
Rosa Parks was told off because of her skin
Some of the best leaders and role models were considered odd balls
Why do we pick on people that are less than us?
It’s not like any of that matters
Are humans so low that we need to feel better than everyone else?
People rejected Jesus, because he didn’t fit in
We as humans need to feel a sense of belonging
Fitting in means you are accepted into a certain group
We are categorized by who we hang out with
Not by our lifestyle, our beliefs, or values
From the outside looking in
We try our best to be considered popular
It's so typical to think about the way we are seen
They change who we are not worrying about who we want to be
Confidence, what does it really mean in our harsh world?
Why do we care about our image
when we should be worried about the inside
Our skin is only the cover
we may look beautiful with a heart of coal
God sees right through our coverups
God knows our true selves
So why does it matter what others think?
The REAL YOU should not care what they think
As long as The REAL YOU is comfortable in your own skin
Be who you want, not what others expect
BE The REAL You and let others see

BE THE REAL YOU AND THEY MAY TOO

If I were

If I were a polar bear maybe things would be different
I would get all the fish I could eat, never going hungry
Maybe I’d even get the bear of polar tales
If I were a polar bear maybe things would be different

If I were a bird maybe things would be different
I would soar above the ground and trees
Maybe I could see soarers I never saw before
If I were a bird maybe things would be different

If I were a fish maybe things would be different
I could swim wherever I want, blowing bubbles
Maybe I’d even get the starfish
If I were a fish maybe things would be different

If I were a kangaroo maybe things would be different
I could see the sights of australia, view life in other shoes
Maybe I’d even meet a kickbox champion
If I were a kangaroo maybe things would be different

If I were a firefly maybe things would be different
I could fly around and stay up at night
Maybe I would find another's light
If I were a firefly maybe things would be different

If I were a star maybe things would be different
I would shine my light throughout the night
Maybe I’d watch over the amazing
If I were a star maybe things would be different

If I am who I am, then things are as they are
I can do all things with surprising ease
I am a person and I found who I am suppose to be
My life is amazing and on this day I am grateful

I love what I do and the choices I choose
Maybe things would be different if I was different
But I am unique in every way
I love who I am and wouldn’t change being human

I am who I am and life is swell wherever I go
I have been granted a beautiful soul and mind
We should be thankful everyday for being who we are

Love will conquer

There is a deepness in my soul, it can’t be contained, can’t be controlled
love is my only weakness, yet it keeps me going, gotta stay strong
People tell me my heart is wrong, this is not where I belong
we are one with each other so let's all get along
It's time to put the past behind us, learn to let go
but it’s the oceans flow that showed me what i now know
Our home is where we have been,
no matter when we are apart we will be together forever
when this piece is over you cannot try to pretend
we are one, daughter, mother, father, son, loved ones
now the battle is over, the war has been won
we were made to be united, we shall stand beside each other
The storms have passed, here comes the sun
Love will never die, never be yanked goodbye
love is not stupid or ridiculous, people try to fix us
But through it all we learn to trust
my heart is doing what it must, to try and protect me, but i don’t see the fuss
I’ve got to bury it all away, keep it stowed inside,
but it’s so big i just can’t hide, it’s too large, too wide
i need to make up my mind, what to do, I can’t decide
there's a side of me no one else can see, they’d never understand
but we can’t do this alone, we have to get through it hand and hand
well get out of this quicksand that we have to face
in this case we'll try not to race, or put in too much struggle
maybe if we grab on the rope and tug a bundle
hear the ground rumble, hear it soar and fumble
it may just let us free, to be who we are destined to be
i need you, when we lean on each other we are stable
we become as sturdy as a table, this is not just some made up fable
we can hold on to this cable, that is called life
if we are able, love does not have a label
Love will conquer all

Replace or Save Face?
