Thought For the Day: Don’t Find Fault With Each Other, But Accept Each Other As You Are, and Forgive Each Other Every Day From the Bottoms of Your Hearts
“In a word, live together in the forgiveness of your sins, for without it no human fellowship, least of all a marriage, can survive. Don’t insist on your rights, don’t blame each other, don’t judge or condemn each other, don’t find fault with each other, but accept each other as you are, and forgive each other every day from the bottom of your hearts.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

An Extra Something
An Extra Something
by Michael Doyle
It's another round of birthday cheers,
I celebrate the time of passing years.
There's been so much love that's felt so high,
It's led to times when I wished that I would die.
The alien gods of February know this art,
As they tear at shreds of each other's hearts.
I love the feel of that some place called nowhere.
It has the quiet that allows a soul to care.
There are so many things that I would do
To make these feelings of love come true.
You've taught me the thrill of everything.
The thrill of my life and an extra something.
That is life's audition brought to play,
Stuck here with you and not sure of what to say.
I stumble over getting to know you better.
My God, the way that you wear that sweater.
The alien gods of February know this art,
As they tear at shreds of each other's hearts.
I love the feel of that some place called nowhere.
It has the quiet that allows a soul to care.
The truth of this is quite a must.
I find myself hoping we won't come to a bust.
Avoiding the drift, we work at being close.
Life is life, and every step is one of those.
Our mistakes, we don't need to complain.
It's the moments of life that we can't explain.
There's a vista that I see in your eyes
You're suddenly everything that I was born to recognize.
The alien gods of February know this art,
As they tear at shreds of each other's hearts.
I love the feel of that some place called nowhere.
It has the quiet that allows a soul to care.
A few chords spill across the empty keyboard.
It's a melody that moves ever toward.
With a kiss, we suddenly fall in love,
Self-aware of the moon shining down from above.
Your eyes are shining, cresting legendary.
My startled expression must seem so contrary.
There you are again inside my loving arms,
And here I am again, lost inside your charms.
The alien gods of February know this art,
As they tear at shreds of each other's hearts.
I love the feel of that some place called nowhere.
It has the quiet that allows a soul to care.

Thought For the Day: This Regionalization Is In Keeping With the Tri-Lateral Plan Which Calls For A Gradual Convergence of East and West, Ultimately Leading Toward the Goal of One World Government
“This regionalization is in keeping with the Tri-Lateral Plan which calls for a gradual convergence of East and West, ultimately leading toward the goal of one world government. National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept.” – Zbigniew Brzeziński
First Principles: No Longer A Government By Free Opinion… and the Vote of the Majority, But A Government By the Opinion and Duress of A Small Group of Dominant Men
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world – no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” – Woodrow Wilson
In this case, we present not necessarily a principle stated straightforwardly, but to point out that it was the Democratic Party under Woodrow Wilson who has in great part, reduced the voice of the People in the governance of this nation. See the Democratic Party for what it is and has been. Examine the actions taken and not taken regarding funding our nation. It’s one bad-faith action after another for at least over 100 years.
My Most Meaningful Bond
My Most Meaningful Bond
by Michael Doyle
In this age where the hard Left seeks to divide,
I know that I always want my daughters by my side.
I read to them nightly while they were in the womb,
And by my side, there will always be enough room.
Each of their smiles has indeed been my purpose,
And anything they needed was my best service.
But for my words, my fear and tears have gone unseen,
Sacrificed as it's been for my two favorite human beings.
In my life, there is one most meaningful bond,
It takes me near to Heaven and then somehow beyond.
No one in life is more loved than my dear daughters,
It's my true greatest pleasure to be their father.
I have never been one who sought after any hero worship,
But I have always felt the need for a continued relationship.
Of all things, that there must always be the being near,
And my always seeking to listen more rather than just hear.
With the separation from their mother, they needed protection,
Maybe a thousand-fold more than another stream of correction.
I can't pretend that either has been less than my breath,
Since day one, they'll be my inspirations until my death.
In my life, there is one most meaningful bond,
It takes me near to Heaven and then somehow beyond.
No one in life is more loved than my dear daughters,
It's my true greatest pleasure to be their father.
Maybe Euripides is right there's nothing dearer to a father,
As he begins growing older, than the love of his daughters.
When I was younger, they softened my heart as only they can,
And from them I have learned to be a gentler, better man.
As they've grown older, I have sought time with my teens,
Trying my best to understand and help two future queens.
There are things that they have gone through I can't know,
But I've always done my level best to let my love show.
In my life, there is one most meaningful bond,
It takes me near to Heaven and then somehow beyond.
No one in life is more loved than my dear daughters,
It's my true greatest pleasure to be their father.
Not a moment has this father's love ever in the least retreated,
But not knowing how to be lady I taught them how to be treated.
I hope that I have done well in providing a standard among men.
This is my hope, and that they might yet visit now and then.
As time has gone on, there has been a need for course correction,
I pray there will never come a time for any disconnection.
The time we have left to spend must be spent in good quality.
They are my loves and the heart of my treasured family.
In my life, there is one most meaningful bond,
It takes me near to Heaven and then somehow beyond.
No one in life is more loved than my dear daughters,
It's my true greatest pleasure to be their father.

First Principles: The Right To Discuss Freely and Openly…All Political Questions…Is A Right So Clear and Certain…That Without It We Must Fall Into Despotism
“The right to discuss freely and openly, by speech, by the pen, by the press, all political questions, and to examine the animadvert upon all political institutions is a right so clear and certain, so interwoven with our other liberties, so necessary, in fact, to their existence, that without it we must fall into despotism and anarchy” – William C. Bryant

Learning From Dark Times
Learning From Dark Times
by Michael Doyle
God's creation is entrusted to humanity.
At times, this has been to our vanity.
Mistake after mistake has been made.
This is not to say we should walk afraid.
The Nephilim walked with us side by side
While evil ways became larger with our pride.
Only Noah and his family incurred God's favor
In the gut-wrenching times, no one could savor.
For nine hundred years, God had called us to repent,
Until at last, God could not abide nor relent.
Wickedness was found with very little exception,
Until Noah was called carry the earth to redemption.
We are tethered to the intent of fulfilling God's ways.
This is regardless of evil ruling in our days.
Called by the Lord, Noah built the ark.
It would allow mankind to sail through the dark.
In the hands of God, we surrender our souls,
Letting loose our fated need for keeping control.
Willingness to be a servant takes us quite far,
As long as we allow God to be our North Star.
When the storms are over, we maintain integrity.
It calls for us to be faithful to God's sovereignty.
It is by living our lives in humbling submission
That humanity finds its way to reach our redemption.
Baptism saves us from death symbolically from the grave,
All that the Lord calls for is the power to save.
Living in interesting times is a curse wrapped in a blessing,
The time we live in constantly leaves us as if we are guessing.
It has become far too casual to lose human life.
We live in troubled times filled with constant strife.
A lot is going on that calls for the need for discerning.
The messy life we're living calls for constant learning.
If we are to live right, it must be with vigilance.
The life around us requires the truest due diligence.
None of us views life from any point of perfection,
But we can walk forward by discerning right connection.
We stay true to Christ, despite living on the outside,
we are on the path of constantly learning in our stride.
Behind the doing of the saying, ride or die.
We do best by surrendering to God without questioning why.
