I Stopped Being Great

God Doesn't Make Mistakes

God doesn’t make mistakes. My mind is convinced... My heart needs a little more time. He is infinite and all wise All knowing and sovereign I dare not question His plan But this time… This one time… I think He got it wrong. For all intents and purposes I know He knows best. I know His plans are greater than my plans And His thoughts greater than my thoughts His ways are not my ways But perhaps this time… This one time… Maybe He got it wrong? I believe in the power of the Almighty. There is no one like Him. He the great Jehovah The mighty God The One who sits high And looks low. He who rules and super-rules the universe. The one who created this earth from nothing Breathed the breath of life into man Separates the night from the day. Maybe just maybe This one time He got it wrong. The wind and rain obey Him! The thunder rolls at the sound of his voice! The world cradled in the palm of his...

We Do Know...

So many times when someone dies (particularly expectantly) you here someone say, "You never know" or "You just never know"... but the truth is we do!

We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

W E wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! This is another one of my favorite poems! Enjoy!
