“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.’ You won’t believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better.” – Samuel Beckett

His Mercy Never Fails
His Mercy Never Fails
by Michael Doyle
In every day, in every way,
My Lord has held me in His hand.
Giving me mercy, and I can say,
In my best and my worst, He understands.
In return, I offer my life,
Trusting in Christ alone.
Through sweetness and strife,
It's in His sacrifice that I atone.
I love the Lord
Because His mercy never fails
By the strength of His bond,
I know that He always prevails.
There's a lot of faith in goodness,
And it satisfies this hungry heart.
If only my path had understood this,
Things would have been better from the start.
Shouting to the Lord, His will be done.
Our Father has provided each day.
I offer my life up to ways of the Son
As I stand each moment and quietly pray.
I love the Lord
Because His mercy never fails
By the strength of His bond,
I know that He always prevails.
Giving thanks, I turn to sing
Here in the new day dawning.
In all that the day might bring,
I worship from the morning.
Until the day fades into night,
I embrace and live in His light.
My heart keeps His holy name,
Knowing He alone erased my blame.
I love the Lord
Because His mercy never fails
By the strength of His bond,
I know that He always prevails.

Nuremberg I
Nuremberg I
by Michael Doyle
Some would say that an unjust peace beats war.
That is foolishness that leaves an unrequited score.
It is far more righteous to fight legitimately
With the right intention and cause, with full authority.
Sometimes after the dust-up, the results are put into law,
This then was the case at Nuremberg, we might recall.
It was found that rightful conscience supercedes the state,
Arguably, we knew this, even before the first trial's date.
Sometimes, it takes being flawless to claim one's victory.
This is the case of good over evil in the hearts of humanity.
The Tribunal sought law over vengeance n holding the trials,
And kept many of the guilty alive so justice had no denial.
Most evil is that which kills the spirit of the good,
But some, such as Göring, simply felt misunderstood.
That there is a greater good expressed in ideology,
And that, perhaps, such ignorance is the flaw of humanity.
This is then the core of the philosophy that would be tried,
And only by flawless victory would the Allies be satisfied.
It was felt necessary for the healing of evil to be revealed,
It was felt necessary to disallow evil from being concealed.

Thought For the Day: My Political Sentiments Inclined Toward the Left and Emphasized the Socialist Aspects Every Bit As Much As Nationalist Ones
“My political sentiments inclined toward the left and emphasized the socialist aspects every bit as much as nationalist ones.” – Adolph Eichmann
It must be realized and understood that the Nazis were from the Left, not the right. National Socialist Workers Party, think hard on this and understand where socialism leads. Allegiance to Conservative values leads to greater liberty and freedom. Socialism has historically demanded blind obedience as a core value. You say you don’t believe me? Consider Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and contrast them with Eichmann’s statement, and you will find the same deadly results.
First Principles: It Is Not Our Duty To Leave Wealth To Our Children, But It Is Our Duty To Leave Liberty To Them
“Honor, justice, and humanity, call upon us to hold, and to transmit to our posterity, that liberty which we received from our ancestors. It is not our duty to leave wealth to our children, but it is our duty to leave liberty to them.” – John Dickinson

The Difference of A Heavenly Father
The Difference of A Heavenly Father
by Michael Doyle
Deep within the holy inference,
Meanings are held by deference.
Throughout all of human history,
Kings have added up to slavery.
But not so, in our father's kingdom.
Our heavenly king rules through freedom.
When the people forget and need to recall,
Leaders like Moses have preached God's law.
In Judaic history, we find a bloody monarchy,
As God's people have struggled in their history.
Conquered and embattled, Israel struggled for light,
Like a twisted blade at the edge of God's fight.
Until they were enslaved by Roman domination,
There was very little left of the Jewish nation.
All but destroyed by the wages of their sin,
The Jews were certain that God would save them again.
A prophet speaking God's words, as it was told,
Would come as the Messiah to shepherd the fold.
This second Moses was born in Bethlehem to inspire.
Holiness was born at the edge of the Roman Empire.
As it was said in the Bible, it would be done.
Out of Egypt, God, the Father, would call His Son.
Sacred as the whisper heard from God's breath,
Moses and Jesus would come to escape their death.
Jesus and Moses ran Good's course side by side.
The parallels are amazing to try to coincide.
At a Mount that was not, Jesus taught us to pray,
Addressed to "Our Father: from that very day.
This Father was heaven-bent on finding freedom,
And delivering all believers into His kingdom.
Hope and deliverance were given by God to rescue,
Into the sacred hearts of every Christian and Jew.
Freedom came from the prophesied power of redemption,
Thought on by the disciples in their contemplation.
The strength of the woven threads was as inspirational,
As those who carried this truth are generational.

Thought For the Day: Literature Adds To Reality,…(I)t Enriches the Necessary Competencies That Daily Life Requires and Provides
“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” – C.S. Lewis
