Confusion - A Prequel to Know the Way

Can you tell me where to begin?
Oh things appear so mixed up.
Nothing seems upright anymore.
Fear is gripping my heart. What to do?
Using the only stable thing I can see.
Seeking the guidance and awareness of HIM.
I reach out in a silent plea I know He can hear.
Or is it bellowed out so loud instead?
Nothing makes sense in this world these days.

Confusion reigns oh Lord, please hear our plea, and restor the direction we appear to have lost.
Amen and amen.

Know the Way

Confused and searching for a way to go.
Ideals arise and seem to be buzzing to and fro.
How are we supposed to know
Who truly is in the know?
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
Seeking His will, all other wisdom we cannot afford.

I Just Won 9 Swag Bucks on www.swagbucks.com

I Just Won 9 Swag Bucks on www.swagbucks.com

Swagbucks is an e-currency I'm using to achieve a goal I have in mind. It's a secret for now but when the goal is reached and the mission is accomplished you will be among those to know the outcome.

You are important to God; therefore you are important to me.
Copeantor out!

Soft Cover Book of Learning To Cope - Sold!

Will be giving the book to the purchaser today.
Praise the Lord for the sale and the last soft cover copy of the book I was able to print.
The E-book is still without a sale but perhaps feedback from this sale will create some interest for those who prefer to read on the go

Waterfall Steps

Our pastor took this shot and the words came to me.  Let the scene and the words take you to a land that is enchanting and unbelievably beautiful in God's sight.

 Just take the photo in for now.  Sit back and look at it and then again read the lines without the waterfall.  Here is the photo by itself.
Can you see the innate beauty here?  There is a remarkable configuration of colors, textures, and elements.  All coming together to reveal the grandeur that is God's creation in the rawest sense possible.  His creation, our stewardship.
Now the words without the photo.  Read them, know them, understand the impact this scene had on the writer.  Consider what impact the waterfall had upon you and comment.

The sky so clear and pollution free, clouds gently blowing by.
Layers of color, a tapestry from the pallet that He works with.
Rolling hills alive with flora and fauna, nourised by His care.
Tiny bushes beginning their ascent in growth, rooted in rich soil, cultivated by the very hands of God.

The falling waters at the top, appearing as if out of thin air.
Following a path carved out by the water that has come before.
A trickle at first, and then a rivulet, flowing into the basin formed over the years.  Being filled by two sources, and when the basin is filled, the falling does begin.  Water following the path that gravity dictates as it leaves it's perch and soars out into the air.

See the strength in these rocks.  See the age.  Carved, smoothed, and caressed by the loving Lord who knows why all things are created.
                   Free fall begins here! Oh the sounds to be heard.

Splash!  Water falling into the next layer.
Gurgle, the water moving and giving praise to the Lord in a voice that He knows so well.
In His care, the waters do ride the rocks to the pool below.
Swish and swirls, the water being collected and distributed in the pool, ready for those who will receive the refreshing drink from His bowl.
