The Ring

Fantasy of Fantasies
Dreams of Dreams
Who can portray
The mystery
of the Ring?


When times were young and hearts were true.
Love sprouted on every flower like a morning dew.
When a covenant is made in hearts so pure,
They are held and bound and do endure?

What do you do with a promise you can't keep?
Throw it overboard down in to the deep?
Ask God's grace to cover and heal
To repair the breech that the enemy did steal

It can't be done
My strength is gone

Release it
Let it go

What if the love of my youth
Was the only one that was true?
Have I not been free to love another?
Is that why I failed so many times,
Was my heart never mine?
When I made him go?
Did I leave it behind?


Release it
Let it go

How can a promise in a ring
Keep me in love with someone
I haven't seen...
I haven't seen him, but he's there
I still feel him in my soul
a tie that never died
20 years
still
beating
still
breathing
still
leading.......

Now he's found.

Release it
Let it go

God help me,
I found the root.
Pull as I may it won't come loose.
I need YOU Father
Be my strength.
Pull this fantasy from my soul
Give me the strength to let go.

 Release it
Let it go
It's true
It's not my heart
It belongs to You.

-Cher

The Parable of the Snake

Once upon a time there was a serpent who was badly injured in a fight with another animal. It managed to slither away to safety but would have surely died if a benevolent man had not seen it suffering by the side of the road. The goodly man carefully wrapped the snake up and took it to his house, where he bestowed the kindest and gentlest care on the snake until it was healed and could return to the wild. Just as the man was releasing the serpent back into the grass, the ungrateful snake turned and bit him on the hand. "What did you do that for?" cried the man, who knew that the bite of this particular snake was usually fatal. "Didn't I take care of you when no one else would?" The snake shrugged (no small feat for a snake!) and replied to the benevolent--and now doomed-- man, "What did you expect? You knew I was a snake when you picked me up." We certainly know without any question that they are snakes. Time will tell if the moral of the tale is appli...

Tough Mind and Tender Heart by Martin Luther King

SERMON: A Tough Mind And A Tender Heart, by Martin Luther King, Jr. Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) A French philosopher said, “No man is strong unless he bears within his character antitheses strongly marked.” The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites. Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self-assertive humble. But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony. The philosopher Hegel said that truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two. Jesus recognized the need for blending opposites. He knew that his disciples would face a difficult and hostile world, where they would confront the recalcitrance of...

AS I SEEK

By Cherstin Jagger Mendez I seek within the ebb and flow, In every attempt for my heart to grow. I lean into the winds to see what they say. Hoping it’s secrets, it will give away. How do you live a life to the fullest? How do you push yourself beyond….? The lead weights on my feet telling me I can’t go, Due to my age or life, without much to show. For the potential within me fights every day to get out! For the voice in my heart says I can not do without … Without the land beneath my feet, Without the sound of the trees in the wind. Without the buds that bloom and tell me there’s hope, Without the love that flows from beyond my scope. Without the connection that reminds me that I’m alive, Without your heartbeat here by my side I seek again for what I cannot see. I seek again for what’s found inside of me. I seek again for the strength to persevere, As I walk among those that this world does fear …. DEDICATED TO TDCJ CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS
