I May Just Be A Regular Guy, But God Sure Spoke To The Poet In Me

This is intended to be a humorous poem, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

I May Just Be A Regular Guy, But God Sure Spoke To The Poet In Me

Once upon a time, on a very large college campus

A journalism student struggled to come up with story ideas.

His brain tried to think long and hard about what to write

But, to no avail, there were no ideas


I guess you could say this man was screwed

Up the crap creek without a paddle

This guy needed to think of something quick, for the deadline was quickly approaching

But his brain stayed quiet, not even a rattle.


This guy is about ready to blow his top

The editors keep pestering

This man has had enough

He is swollen with anger, the anger is festering


He wants to cuss out his teacher, everyone all around

The venom is about to come out of his mouth

But, all of a sudden

The Spirit came about


The man opened his mouth, ready to release

The anger deep inside him, ready to pop, pow!

But God stopped his tongue before he could form the words

The sound that came out of his mouth, the Chick-fil-a cow!


He wanted to cuss

Moo this and moo that

But The Holy Spirit

wasn't going to let him do that.


Finally, he just cried, because God convicted his heart

Of all the anger he had inside him

He just fell apart

Down to his knees, he fell about.


The man said "Lord, I had been such a fool"

"Why did I get mad?"

"Lord, you are so awesome!"

"Now, Lord, I feel bad."


God spoke to the man

God lifted up his face

God said "I love you, my child"

"Now rest in my redeeming grace!"


The man had so much joy

He couldn't control himself

The Lord's love was inside him

He was a jolly, bouncy Elf.


He grabbed the nearest person, tight in his hands

The man said "The Lord loves you, and I love you too"

The Lord is merciful, glorious, fantastic

The Word of God is good and true.


The person scoffed and said "That man is a nut"

"He is rambling on about preposterous things, he truly is insane."

But the Lord just watched as the love

Transformed the man, truly he's changed.


This is a story about a student who got right with God

Turned from his ways

He said "Lord, be with me always. Hold me and strengthen me"

"Let me love like You, Lord, all of my days."


You have a choice, God gives you free will

To choose the world or His redeeming grace

It is up to you to choose what's best,

"But as for me and my house, let me never leave God's place"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
