"Wandering Sheep"


“Wandering Sheep”

cji
8/24/14

Of the fold once protected
hearing the shepherd’s voice
yet wandering now alone
some by choice others not
storms of affliction driving
feelings being now shunned
thus as wandering sheep
further and further away
into a lion’s or wolf’s den
unable to see the light
forgetting of their fold
listening strange voices
yearning for the shepherd
unknowing where to look!

"Unchangeable"


“Unchangeable”

cji
8/24/14

Forever and ever same
steadfast for all eternity
needing no interpreters
always to use Prophets
in times long gone past
thus today no different
each Sabbath Day known
where others try to voice
simply to hear a voice
just their voices raised
disharmonies logismoi
spiritual mystical voices
literal no more scriptures
unknown Heavenly Father
unchangeable then/now
forever and ever same!

"Imitations"


“Imitations”

cji
8/23/14

Illusions of men’s minds
fantasies of the women
poorly made not to last
pretending to be important
while just imitations to be
without substance of truth
yet passed generations
carefully disguised in life
neither sense or reason
most unwilling to study
accepting the imitations
fantasies of the women
illusions of men’s minds!

"Weariness"


“Weariness”

cji
8/22/14

Leafs all fallen from trees
languid feelings despair
glass broken shattered
guns – burning – screams
meanings lost faraway
weariness casting pall
sadness without resting
nation without a soul
casting idols their pelf
misery fated to share
molding dank rottenness
nation’s stupefied shame!

"Foolish Traditions"


“Foolish Traditions”

cji
8/21/14

Allowing literal truths to change
confident in Greek Philosophy
then of course Neo-Platonism
unable to make sense of truth
creating foolish traditions often
soon accepted truths believed
called religion of the intelligent
in the East and in the West
the Gnostics leading the way
then believing wealth the key
foolish traditions 1800 years
lost the literal truths of Father
replaced with logismoi today!

"Bragging"


“Bragging”

cji
8/20/14

So many wanting attention
impressed with importance
talking loudly and bragging
forgetting un-understanding
making show of powers
strutting and gallivanting
all for others to observe
getting their due in life
thinking this all there is
forgetting of eternities
playing only in the now
unwanting to share stage
pushing and shoving all
so many wanting attention!

"Decreed"


“There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—“And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated” (D&C 130:20–21).
“Decreed”

cji
8/19/14

Planting straight rows
preparing for a harvest
setting up irrigation
banking against floods
using good seeds:
virtue, truth, honesty
valor, charity, service
staying the course
enduring to the end
inviting in the spirit
supplicating the Lord
obedience decreed
covenants made/kept
nothing wavering
preparing the harvest
straight rows planted!

"See What You're Seeing"


“See What You’re Seeing”

cji
8/18/14

Missing nothing important
visualizations in one’s memory
having recall of each moment
the mind records all it sees
much goes unseen/unused
lost in caverns of time space
it’s to see what you’re seeing
making use of all that’s there
gathering within all knowledge
able to teach with inspiration
knowing what you’ve seen
missing nothing important!

"Often More to Know"


“Often More to Know”

cji
8/17/14

Stopping short of knowledge
forgetting the wisdom of ages
ignoring the Sabbath Days
withdrawing from more truth
where often more to know
reading and pondering all
Scriptures full to be studied
Father’s plan to understand
wanting all to learn wisdom
light and knowledge there!

"Bodies of Blessings"

“Bodies of Blessings”

cji
8/16/14

So many knowing so little
seeking worldly treasures
missing meanings eternal
bodies of blessings there
not of this world though
while some are found here
most are for the eternities
trials and tribulations here
laughed at by the worldly
seeking truth seen naught
so many knowing so little!

"Musky Emotions"

“Musky Emotions”

cji
8/15/14

Sadly mistaken conclusions
preaching as if the truth
unwilling to acknowledge
unwilling to revise thinking
musky emotions of lust
failing to see their errors
as if enveloped in smog
thinking clouded in passion
believing as if the truth
buying conclusions erred!

"In the Jungle"



This was coming all along – when a nation turns its collective back on God’s Law – sexual behavior as that of animals is the desired result. To mold a society with a lack of feeling – even emotions – drugs, music, sex, carnal desires without guilt – and the break-up of the family. This has always been the plan of those who seek absolute power. Our government is in a close 2nd to no one – Dewey and others – the Golden Isles – and much more over the past two hundred years within this nation – the first 37 were relatively tame while the Founding Fathers were still alive. It’ll get worse – and then even worse – sadly most have no clue – as most never read the Scriptures. c/ork

“In the Jungle”

cji
8/14/14

Turning backs on civilization
animal instincts fully aroused
unfeeling towards any other
emotionless except on drugs
expressionless except as led
living in a world surreally seen
in the jungle as animals to be
murder, rape, pillage, profanity
nothing left to be called human
only as the depraved society
wanting all to be as them
destroying the family/home
then to moan in their vomit
as the excretions they are
turning backs on civilization!

"Ask Questions"

“Ask Questions”

cji
8/13/14

Ask questions for answers
no questions if not wanting
all questions have answers
most not wanting to hear
out of internal emotional fear
failing to know the truth
justifying that unknown
unknown thus unaccountable
ask question only for answers
failing to do so stay ignorant
ignorance is simple bliss
sadly too many ignorant!

"Other Opinions" (short essay)

What follows is my response to another’s giving his philosophy about the world and lies – then adding his beliefs. My response deals with his asking for other opinions.

His presentation: For those who may be curious about my stance on the situation in the Middle East, follow this link:  LIES

Hi T - Being somewhat a student of history – going back some 6,000 years in my research – I find exception to your narrative (knowing it is abbreviated) still – Britannica to me is not a viable source as it was meant to be politically correct in what they presented – sometimes (and not just a few) they never even went to the source of their information but had others who wrote about the various religions (including the Rabbis who usurped the Priesthood in 70AD). Now had you quoted the Shabako Stone – the Letters of Timothy Archbishop of Alexandria (He presided over the second Ecumenical Council at Constantinople called by Emperor Theodosius) (d. 385AD) – Alfred – Cicero to name a few it might add credence to your position. Then again if one only refers to the Bible they short themselves of multiple discoveries and revelations both before and after the Bible. It would be like quoting Plato over Socrates’ in proving the type of society one should abide in. Of course Plato wrote a lot of nonsense pleasing to the people then and now (especially our current liberal left in this nation).

As for murder – in every conflict where soldier (if one can call the terrorists such) hides within homes, hospitals, schools – what is one to do evacuate the innocent and just leave the terrorists within? What did the Jews do during their exodus from Egypt – they were told to destroy all – leaving no exceptions – why? As today in the world of Iraq and other Muslim nations – that is murder for the ones being killed are not combatants – much as in the Holocaust (both in Asia and Europe/Middle East/Africa) where murder was done to accomplish a political goal of extermination – much like the murder done in the US of members of various religions which went against the mainstream ministers. 

Israel has their problems – one would guess you’d call the Atomic Bomb murder – rather than saving millions of lives. However, Israel is defending their homeland of which all of the Middle East has sworn to annihilate – thus they should just stand by and let it happen? Would you stand by and let your family, friends, freedoms be destroyed and do nothing?

In addition, the population wasn’t 15K in 1898 but increased by over 15K making it just under 50K. And this was just in one location not the total population. One must remember in many nations Jews were not considered citizens and much like the slave (white or black) or women simply were not counted. One must also take into account the various plagues, wars, famines, and other factors in measuring a population – knowing the low estimate of the migration from Egypt was 600,000. Sadly much we will never know as of the destruction of records – missing records (some 3400+ books of Scriptures) and those hidden away in vaults because they go against what the Political Correct churches want taught to their paying memberships. Rome, Syria and other nations will never release what records they’ve in their possession.

As to the lies – Lucifer is the Father of all lies – and as to the fall of Adam and Eve – we were all cheering as before the fall they were still immortal – after it they became mortal and could thus have off-spring. Are we or are we not descendants of Adam and Eve? If you believe the Scriptures prior to 1880 – we are! Of course there were many errors already by 1880 – but this is the date of the revisionists (making some 36,000 changes – of which there are now over 120,000 changes and some 20,000+ thousand editions) to the Scriptures. And as a good historian you must know what is left of the Scriptures Old and New Testament that they are not in chronological order!

Had you stayed to your initial idea of lies and the world being full of them your dissertation was okay – but you strayed into circular thinking – you asked for opinions – this is mine – chuck

“Other Opinions”

cji
8/12/14

Too often many are asked
expecting to say nothing
while some read and feel
having an opinion to add
thus other opinions given
when none is expected
avoiding contention always
presenting additional facts
never ask what you want not
for in reply there is truth
more than what shown
thus edification for all
expected to say nothing
when asked for thoughts!

"With Father's Help"

“With Father’s Help”

cji
8/11/14

A guiding hand prompting
opening our minds to see
knowing right from wrong
offering alternatives always
with Father’s help all things
become possible to know
all things able thus to do
while without Father’s help
things may get done some
never as good as possible
difference being only some
and never ‘all’ which could
men/women who reject
claiming ‘they did it’ today
understand not their being
limiting themselves today
living to the worldly goals
ignoring eternal progression
knowing not what is right
seeing all things the same
without laws – covenants
believing their logismoi
closing their minds today
without eternal promptings!
