Harriet Tubman

"God's time is always near.  He set the North Star in the heavens.  He gave me the strength in my limbs.  He meant I should be free."

Freedom is a God-given right but other people make slaves of us:  The Hebrews, the Irish, the Africans...  And now sex slaves especially children...  How can you say you promote freedom when there are slaves among us?  How can you turn a blind eye when you might be associating with persons of interest in the sex trafficking industry?  If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Frederick Douglas

"The life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous."

Don't we know it?  The corruption in our nation is causing our country to go dark...  Killing innocent random people who do us no harm...  Thinking that it's OK to kill someone just because they don't agree with your opinion...  Agree to disagree...  Instead of kill...  When did you lose your sense of right and wrong?

Proverbs

22:24-25

 

"Do not associate with a man given to anger; or go with a hot-tempered man, or you will learn his ways and find a snare for yourself."

What exactly does this mean?  It means that who you hang out with matters...  It matters who you're friends with because they can influence you in a good or bad way...  

Not all your friends are true!  Never be friends with a petty person...

Remember:  "Birds of a feather flock together.."  And so do elk...

Ezekiel

36:26-27

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."

It took me a long time to realize that I had a heart of stone...  I figured that since I was a nice person I couldn't have a stony heart but I did since I had put up barriers to my heart.  It takes a risk to be vulnerable when you have been hurt before...

Folly Foibles

Wisdom Ways


One day you wake up...
And you make a choice.
To follow down the path of folly...
Or heed the advice of wisdom...

It doesn't have to be a big decision.
Even a little decision will do...

What do you do?
Do you do what you should?
Or do you what you want?
Or is it a little bit of both?

One decision leads you down a troublesome path...
A path of chaos and folly!
Mocking!
Scoffing!
Killing!

Another decision leads you towards a perceptive path...
A path of common sense and knowledge!
Wisdom!
Safety!
Discernment!

It's never to late to change your mind...
And choose the better way!

Seek wisdom before you find yourself in Sheol!

@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry

Where do you think you are?  On the way to Sheol or heaven?  How do you make your decisions?  What do you base your decisions on?  Every decision you make matters!  Some more than others...  Others not so much in the grand scheme of things...  But hopefully you have made the best decision on the most important question of all!

Proverbs

16:18

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Do you know what this means?  We should be very careful not to boast about our accomplishments in a way that will turn others off.  God loves a humble spirit and the more humble we are the more he wants to elevate us.  We should never be prideful because you just don't know if something is going to happen to bring about your downfall.
