You know, life is funny at times! Life may not always be funny when you want it to be funny and other days life is full of memories that bring you back 20 or more years. It is especially better is you memory serves you right and you remember the details of that event as clearly as possible!
My Memory Lane Moment came to me tonight when I was chatting with an old friend. We were in high school, it was Halloween night and a bunch of us got together to have a 90210 marathon watching night. (For those of you that are 35 years or older will remember this show as the original series for Bev Hills, NOT the "remake series" that came on in 2008!). We were all to old to go trick-or-treating. So my friend invited a bunch of us over to their home. There were probably 8-10 of us at my friends home that night, all vying for a place to sit to watch the teen drama. It's funny, now that I am thinking back on it...not all of us hung out in the same circles, but that night we had two things in common...1) we were all friends with the house host and 2) It was 90210, duh, that's a no brainer!!! :) So, we watched, had good fellowship, and enjoyed one another's company, considering the fact that we ALL came from different walks of life! As the memory lane moment comes to a close, the rest of that night was fun too...afterall it was Halloween night...who said we could not walk around the neighborhood and "watch" other kids wearing their costumes and ringing doorbells. That we did, we all went to walk the roads around my friends neighborhood. A few of us did some candy get'n too! Most homes didn't care, by the end of the night I bet many were glad to get rid of the candy they had left over. This is something I have come to appreciate myself over the years...what to do with all that candy we didn't give out??? "Oh look honey, the teenage kids who don't have costumes on are here for candy!" "Sweet, here kid, you take this stuff otherwise I will have to eat it all myself!" lol! Anyway, this was a Memory Lane Moment! I'm just getting back into this blogging stuff. I wanted to start somewhere and now you have it! If you were at that 90210 party that night why don't you write you own blog about it! I think it's fun to remember the things we did in a younger life. Especially, these days with covid floating around...some of our memories may not be quite like we, well...remember them! Then, maybe I wrote this blog for myself to remember at another time when I re-read this MLM as the future me! :) Thank you for taking this memory lane trip with me! Have a great Day!

I want to get out of here
But I am cornered in by too much fear I push from side to side But it’s hard to let go of my pride The more I struggle, the more I lose It’s hard to find the right path, so hard to choose I’ve been offered help from and outside source Someone who has been where I am and can show me the right course But my pride gets in the way And I struggle for another day My mind is filled with so many distractions My heart knows the answer to the questions True love is where I am to seek A love that goes beyond 24 hours and 7 days a week I wrote this poem when I was a younger man and felt like "fear" had a grasp on me. It was after talking to some friends that I realized I was not alone and that God has a better option for me, for us! I’m going to make my dreams come true
There’s nothing out there that I cannot do Faith is just a breath away Freedom is just a step a day Trials come from left and right Sometimes, I am blinded by my own sight It’s during this time that the clouds gather 'round Then slowly the drops start hitting the ground The thunder crashes While lightning flashes The wind is fast The rain seems to last Just as quick, in the blink of an eye The clouds break open, giving birth to a new sky The chains have dropped, the blinders lifted My way of thinking has now been shifted I can now see the way to my goals There will be no more giving in, no more selling of my soul The choices are so clear There’s no time for any fear It’s time to get the job done It’s time to serve God’s Son ‘Cause He’s going to make my dreams come true There’s nothing out there that He cannot do For, Faith is just a breath away And Freedom is just a step a day! I wrote this poem during a time in my life when it truly felt like all my hopes and dreams were within my grasp, yet they kept being just out of reach. I had all but given up on making my dreams come true. Then, I was reminded of God's TRUTHS in my life and the strength of His Word! The outcome...you just read it above! :) Now, when I go through similar trials, I pull out this poem as a reminder of God's great strength and provisions! I hope you find encouragement in this poem too! I thank my God every time I remember you
Though the joys, the sorrows and the days made new I look back and I can see how well your life was spent But, now and again I rub my eyes and wonder where the time went? I can see now how much love for me you truly had Especially, when I felt lonely, down or sad Your smile helped me to smile Your walk is now my walk Your talk is now my talk Your extra mile helped me to take that extra mile I had a dream with you walking in the sand You were being led by the Saviors Hand You turned, smiled and looked at me I wanted to run to you, but in my heart I knew you were free I watched as you were led into the light Never again to have to fear the dread of night! I thank my God every time I remember you Through each joy, each sorrow and each day made new. I wrote this poem for my friends at the time who were losing their loved ones, mostly grandparents. I wrote it to encourage them in their Christian walk knowing that their Christian relatives and friends were no longer in pain, but now rejoicing! I hope you enjoy this and find the peace of Christ in your own lives! Don’t close that book, there’s still another chapter
Can you hear the children sing? Listen to their laughter We’ve come too far in this life, there’s no time to let it end There are brand new roads around the next bend I’ve walked through dry sands of time And been on the thin red line I’ve spoken with Angel’s feathers in my hair And have soared with the eagles of the air I was the one on the boat, who He called out to the sea And when I doubted I was the one who cried out, “Lord, save me!” Always faithful and always true More then I can say for myself, the Lord has always come through In times of darkness and in times of light In times of weakness, fear and fright The Lord has always been a tower and a beacon A refuge for life and for reason So, don’t close that book, there’s still another chapter As long as there are children to sing, the world will be filled with laughter! “Don’t let the child in your heart forget how to sing!” I wrote this poem a number of years ago. Poetry for me has always been the best way of expressing myself and my inner most thoughts and feelings. I hope you found the Truths in it revealing to your own life! Wednesday is the immortal Hump-day, Camel Day and "Mike, guess what day it is?"
