THE VOICE OF THE LORD


Episcopal Diocese of Guatemala: Saint Alban Mission, Antigua ...
THE VOICE STILL SPEAKS

The absurd norm
The frequency of the world
Drifting away as though none is God
The scent of eternity is so faint to many
Alas, the end of the ages has befallen us all

So much noise and commotion deafens and beclouds the ears of men
The distractions are stifling, almost strangling even
We incline our ears to the media, the horoscope, the lies of false prophets, the seductions of our own flesh
When shall we ever listen?
To that simple stirring and patient nudging that seems so distant yet is nearer to us than our skin

In the midst of the mumbo-jumbo
A voice springs, full of clarity
Solemn yet reverberating through nature's course
Sounding the alarm in the wilderness of vanity
Away! Get far away, it plead earnestly
From darkness, void and formlessness
Lest I pounce upon you like a lioness
Lest I come suddenly upon you like a thief in the night.

Let him who has ears dug out for him hear what the Spirit says
The voice of the Lord thunders like the clapping of thunder in a mighty storm
The voice of the Lord is majestic upon the wind and waters
It stirs the quiet creeks and forms ripples
And awakens the dead and buried from their graves
The voice of the Lord is terrible, who can stand when He speaks?
Tremble at His voice all people, all nations, all lands.

Hear and hearken
His voice of mercy still calls
The voice of wisdom still calls to the sons of men to forsake folly and embrace godliness
His voice of judgement comes soon.

Fiction Books Recommendations for Christmas

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas to you all! It's PeculiarPraise again, but this time in my Miss Santa Claus mode. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're enjoying the yuletide season to the fullest.  If you, like me, have been scouting high and low for some cosy Christian novels to wrap up this year, then you have come to the right stop.  I'm going to highlight twelve Christmas fiction books, one for the twelve days of Christmas. Let's go! 1. The Shoe Box Author: Francine Rivers Genre: Christmas children's fiction Blurb: A beloved holiday classic and a poignant story about the simple yet inspiring faith of a child. This tender Christmas novella tells the story of Timmy O’Neil, a foster child who arrives at his new home with a very mysterious shoe box. At first glance, it’s nothing special―just an ordinary box with a red lid and the words Running Shoes printed on the side. But Timmy carries it with him wherever he goes, and when people ask him what’s inside, h...

APRIL'S FOOL! NOT SO COOL...

Hey pal! What's up? And how have you been doing? Seriously, I know this blog has been so dry for a while now.  How ironic when I think back on how my new year resolution included me being consistent with blogging and sharing real life applications with my fans and friends.  Well, I guess that's the whole bane of resolutions. Use them for the first month, and then dump them into the basement of your life. Urgh! But no, sweet HS* won't let me rest. He's been nagging at me for a while now to write.  Even as I type out this blogpost, my phone's battery is low, and it's the witching hour (midnight, in case you're wondering). But I know He who gave me this assignment will help me. Amen. Oh, by the way, Happy New Month! April's fool mood in the air? Have you already been pranked? Have you pranked someone?  Hmmm... Is it even biblical to prank someone as a child of God? Think twice.  I'm guilty too, I'll admit.  I vividly recall how, years ag...
