I've never denied Christ, I've been communed and confirmed to Christ early in life, I'll never deny Christ, But if lust is my only sin, Than I'm willing to be born again just so I can die twice, I'll never deny Christ, I keep a rosary round my neck at all times, I do in the belief that Christ will my cry in hard times, In these hard stricken WAR TIMES, ( WAR everyone's answer to religion ) The world is at constant conflict, ( WAR is mostly the cause of somebodies "Prophet" Or is it ??Ermmm,,,,,,,, Somebodies Profit?$€£ AND WE ARE WARNED ! Refuse to carry the mark of beast, Don't be deceived,!!!!!!!!!!!!! For our Lord has vowed to return to his rightful place and take back what's his, So I blaze a blunt for lost ones, Blaze another to the future of my sons and there sons an so on, I shed tears of joy of memories an days gone by, They find comfort in your pain the ones we left behind, Let us close our eyes an sleep for all eternity, When we meet dear god I hope you believe that my journey was worthy, I've made mistakes, Carelessly courtesy of stupidity, Maybe it's the idiocy in me, They say I haven't got the ability to see things clearly, I don't go to church, But I feel your presence near me, But when I chat to ya how is it that you never seem to hear me ? There's a difference between unanswered prayers and unanswered questions ! And I understand that there's people out there more needer than me, All I'm asking is for a little bit of direction in life, Just show me the light a little bit a Guidance in life, Give me strength to have the patience for 1 day at a time,

There is a reason we carry the torch for others. Jesus had every hope that
we would obey. Not an obedience to RULES, but rather an obedience to not look beyond HIM for the Way. Yes, there are terrible things going on, There are loved ones and aquaintances struggling, and sometimes, we see it all (I know "I" do) in a blurr. As if the separation of persons is not a doable thing. It is at this point, I must turn inside and examine my "Self" to
the quick. It hurts to do this. But the reason for it, is , Pain is the one teacher that we cannot ignore. It may or may not be the one we choose to listen to, however, if we want our freedom in Christ, we need to heed it, just like He did. The Idea is to sooner or later become more and more like
Jesus. Ya know.....Anger has it's place, but, once the Anger has been dealt with and the denial turned back into faith, it is then that we can deny the Anger a place in our lives. The Savior did say: Put away all manner of Malice. This means do not listen to our "old" (I believe this translates to "historic" Nature. In other words, who we were in the "PAST"
There is a difference between celebrating the memories we had of the past and staking a claim on the past, that it should pull us through.
Jesus told us that We were to do communion in Remembrance of Him.
He taught us to LOVE ONE: TO Another, that is: Actively Love(As a verb)
toward the brethren and OUR Joint future hope. Hope must certainly be in the future if it is to be anywhere at all. It is impossible to hold this view on our own, and That is precisely why OUR Father, God Almighty, is Waiting with open arms in the PERSONHOOD of His Son, Jesus, the Christ,
For: Ricky, if I may call you by that name: My name is Edward, I have some poetry on this Site under the Alias: Horace Edmunds. The most intriguing thing I found in YOUR poem was when you mentioned there being a difference between unanswered prayers and Un-answered Questions. I have struggled with that for a long time. Years, in Fact,
I am happy to announce that you have helped me take interest in sometime finding an answer on how to separate the two. Because, more people want answers to THEIR questions, than do Answers to Their PRAYERS. We can do without the answers to questions, as long as we know the ONE who has all the answers to EVERYTHING!
That does seem like a "down-pat" answer and kind-of shallow, however,
Peace demands that we keep struggling with the Questions and the Answers, so that we can more obediently Serve HIM. Blessed are the ones who hear His Call, and Cheerfulness doeth good like a medicine. I have hidden His (THY) word in my heart that I might not sin against thee. That is a PROMISE TO work-on, not a magic charm that happens just by reciting it. Please don't give up... I know that there are answers to be had, but HE gets to choose them, until such time may come that we are ready to make such choices. HOPING THIS ADDS SOME INTEREST TO YOUR JOURNEY. It was a pleasure to READ such a Courageous Testimony of truth that struck me in JUST THE RIGHT PLACE at this time. IN HIS Never-Ending Love, Horace Edmunds, 2016.

I'd like to thank you for even noticing:) I just have a lot of questions in my head. That are legit to me but might be ludicrous to others. I think I sepreated the questions from the prayers because questions are knowledge ( to be in the know ) and sometimes prayers are usually a conversation between yourself and the almighty. I find it easier to answer a question than I do to give advice if that makes sense:) ty for seeing something valuable in my work though I appreciate that :)
