When such pain goes beyond
metal against metal
pushing and tearing
beyond the tolerances of strength.
Truly oh what passion
lies within thee
when finding release again
in one who will truly love you again
in the truth of their spirit and heart.
Heart be still
mind be of strength
love awaits.
This time to carry you beyond
the eternal doors of joy and happiness.

One day
We will walk the path of light.
Unsure if our Lord will be pleased with us.
Will we be met with an embrace of Love
or will we see disappointment in the Face of our Saviour?
Least we forget the gifts of our Lord.
Will we be judged
on how we shared His gifts?

The pending results of new upcoming illegal door openings to our country by new discussed laws in Congress…..”Give us more free shit.”

There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.
Updated February 1, 2013: This commentary was originally published in May of 2010. With Obama attempting to make another illegal group of voters legal, in order to further destroy the Republican Party; the insight that this information renders should be very interesting to the average voter that is overcome by the Obama media machine.
As a reader of the above, did you assume that these were the new guide lines for the new Immigration Laws for the State of Arizona? As we all know the President of Mexicoin in 2010 enjoyed a great meal as a guest of Obama in the White House. During his visit he pointed out repeatedly how unfair the New Immigration Laws of Arizona would be to the people of Mexico. A premise that our President Obama agreed with wholeheartedly at that time, and now in his second term is further destroying the fabric of great country. Obama is now incouraging illegal immigration into our country by the cartel of Mexico for illegal drug running as well as supplying assualt weapons to the the crime underworld in our country. All of this while attempting to remove the rights of Americans to defend themselves against criminals.
NOW FOR THE FUN PART OF THE ABOVE REGULATIONS AND RULES! What you are reading above is NOT the new immigration laws for Arizona, but the CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAWS FOR THE COUNTRY OF MEXICO!

As death comes closer to my door
my eyes, though weak, seem to become clearer
about what I see about me.
Something about the look of God’s creations
that I did not notice before now
In seeing this creation
a wonderment stops my breath.
It it the sound of wind singing
that I had not noticed before now?
Is it the vastness of the night skies filled with a beauty
beyond words that I cannot describe?
I find myself noticing beauty in people
a beauty that before
I did not see.
I see beauty in the old, the sick
the visions that I used to turn away from seeing
but no longer do.
I feel the pain and joy of other people
I used to not feel such things.
The laughter of a child
ringing like a heavenly bell,
pealing in a meadow
sounds in my ears.
Is this God’s way of saying
“Look at what you have missed earlier in your life?”
I am not sure
but I do know
now I have become more thankful.
More thankful each day
for the gifts God has given to me.
I seem to be getting closer to heaven each day.
I now know, what I see, hear and Feel
are all but a small part of what will be in God’s world.
I can only hope
that in this twilight of my life
I might become worthy
in the areas that I have been unworthy.
May I be worthy of the love and blessings
He has given me in this life.
Thank you God
for this day.
