I find myself wondering
How good of a person am I?
For those tempted to reassure me
Shut up.
In all honesty
I know I am not as bad as I would like to think.
On the other hand
I'm not very good.
I lust and hate
Not sins
Cheat myself and others.
I want more
Always more.
I am never satisfied
My imagination runs too wild.
I wanted god's throne
And took it
Even as I denied wanting it.
I wanted the world
And took it
Even while spilling rivers of blood.
I am lost in mythology;
Obscured by religion.
I am prideful above all else
And overwhelmed with shame.
I do not write for the masses.
As much as I might want to.
I write because I'm empty inside
And hope I can fill my void.
Even now
I have lost the purpose for my being here.
So many things;
I will never share with you.
I am angry
Wrathful towards mortality.
I loathe my own weakness
And rage against these constraints.
I resent reality's failure
To keep up with my imagination.
I want life to match my dreams
Whatever the cost.
Yet I am flesh
And I am not entirely able to forget it.
So I weave back down
And try to touch my own existence.
Here people are alive
Demons rule
Gods wear masks of piety.
Civilization breeds slaves
And I understand how strong that word is.
People live their lives in service to others.
They are given enough to subsist
But are never allowed to excel.
Their bounds are marked
Their lives designed.
We were thankful for what we are givin
And are incapable of seeking more
Though we may dream
We do not believe.
Though we hope
We dare not sure to seek.
Our world is manufactured against us
And we cannot find our way out.
Our gods are wicked.
They are the ones who live on high.
Those we envy
And look to for hope
Revile
And pray ill on.
This is our world;
Our reality.
We are in fact slaves
And we would kill each other first
Before those who keep us here.
I once believed we could rise up.
Now
I think part of us will always fight
To keep others down.
Too long in the mires of lost gods
To be able to put our species first.
This are we doomed,
Damned to die because we cannot move past.
Bound to...
What do I call it?
Such stupidity as to make me wish we would all die.
At least then there would be quiet.
All the arguing
Hating
Damning and persecuting.
All the aspects of our species
Put to death
And life allowed to continue.
No more awareness.
No more consciousness.
Only the blissful ignorance
Of existence just existing.
Then again
I don't know how to give up
And so I keep on hoping
Even against hope.
We’ve all seen signs of warning while driving, but the same can be said about seeing danger signs as we travel along the highway of life. We can try to ignore them, but at some point before this trip called 'life' ends you will have to make a choice if these signs are real or not. So the question for you is this - “Will you heed these warning signs or ignore them?” There is indescribable danger ahead in eternity and if you do ignore them you will arrive at a destination where there is NO ESCAPE OR EXIT. Once there, there is no backing up, no turning around, and truly - no exit. It is a one way street to a literal DEAD END of eternal condemnation that is without remedy.
The good news is that God has given us many signs that will direct us to the destination that He wants to bring us to, but to get there we have to read and follow the signs He has given us, and all the directions we need to navigate the highway of life are found in one 'road atlas,' and this is the Bible.
Jesus tells the story of a rich man trapped in hell where he regretfully realizes that there is NO EXIT. He is fully conscious of his past life and the wrong turns that got him there despite the signs he chose to ignore, and he begs that someone would go back to warn his brothers of this horrible dead end he has found himself. Sadly Jesus replies to him that all people are given signs that point away from hell and lead to eternal life - and ALL of those signs are in the Bible - the same Bible he chose to ignore.
The word repent means to change one’s mind so the question today as you travel down the road of life is this – will you pay attention to these warning signs to not go down the WRONG ROAD and change your mind to go in a safe direction? Turn away from the road that leads to a DEAD END and travel the straight road that leads to eternal life! (Matthew 7:14)
The choice is yours. Follow the road that leads to Christ! Heed the signs He has given and do not go down the path that most people follow that leads to destruction! (Matthew 7:13)

Jesus’ word in today’s scripture is perhaps one of the strongest and most direct instructions and warnings He gives about one of two paths that people will choose to take in life. So here is His message – plain and simple; You don’t have to do anything to be on the wrong road - all you have to do is do NOTHING and just follow the crowd. The question is “why is this so?” and Jesus answers that by saying:
“The lure of wealth and the Desire for pleasure and comfort Crowd out any thoughts of God and His promises and all thoughts of the consequences of eternity.” Mark 4:19 (Highly Paraphrased for clarity of message)
You see, in this life the broad road is wide and easy with plenty of room for everyone. It’s also more pleasurable and fun and since most people are also on it, it’s both familiar and natural too. Thoughts of the hereafter are not on people’s minds on this path because as Jesus said, any spiritual thoughts are crowded out by those things that distract and mislead.
Listen please! There IS a HEAVEN and there IS a HELL. The road to destruction is easily taken and it is an eternally fateful mistake to not be purposeful to walk the narrow path that leads to an eternity in heaven.
Friend, please take an honest look at your life and ask yourself - Which road are YOU on? If you are not on the right road, don’t do nothing. Change your direction and choose to walk on the narrow path to LIFE!!

Oh-Oh!! The years fly by and then one day your last year comes and it is time for you to make an exit. When that day comes, are you ready for it?
If there is one critical question that most people NEVER take the time to answer, it is this - WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Sadly at the moment of death, if this question was never resolved then there are desperate cries of “I don’t want to die!!” But here is the raw truth - we ALL get booted off planet earth, and there is nothing you can do to stop that, but there IS something YOU can do beforehand to prepare for it!
All that takes is one simple step and one sure decision. Make a choice right now to go before Almighty God and simply say, “LORD, you are God and I am a sinful person that has not lived a perfect life. I am asking you to forgive me of my sins, to make me clean by what Jesus Christ did on the cross on my behalf, and take me when I die to be with you forever. I promise to make you the LORD of my life and to follow you the rest of my days. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.”
Friend, if you prayed that prayer earnestly from the heart, when that last year comes, you’ll enjoy an 'EEE' (Excellent Earth Exit!)
[ Then, have a nice flight! :-) ]
