POETRY: "Banging a New Drum to Love"

























“Banging a New Drum to Love”
By Josiah Cullen

Pictures of angels are gifted to humanity to ponder

If you knew one it would be mightier to see than any painting

You give a bold justice to ask for them to help you 

Are angels picked to go to your aid and retrain your gaze?

Huge faithful ideas bridge the stars to say are they here or far?

Quick and strong, they sing your song and teach it to you 

This is a bold nature of the angelic hosts who live to sing 

If a value was put on their words, it is to retrain yours about you

Hearing the Father say to a full strong fleet, go tell them who they are

It gives the name of Jesus ignition to start a faithful recognition 

This is the fundamental issue of the day to fight your true identity

Ring the bell again to the function of a new man and it is gifted

Love as a valued person to give love as a valued person to get it back

Mine the rights of the inheritance of a child who is God’s and hold them

It is the banter of angels to tell you again this news is good news!

Pick the finest hint to say holy is the Lord who sends angels our way

Time to bang a drum to help and bring the humble the story again

Life is bold to give love as wildly as finest lost treasure found and shared

If love named you new in the thought of God about you, are you true?

CULTURE: Transgender Mania is Sign of Cultural Collapse



The nice thing about Camille Paglia, is she's not afraid to speak her mind.  Sadly, she is one of the few who sees the collective stupidity of current pop culture, and it's dangers.   Our leaders and media are leading us down the path to a new and more horrible dark ages, and transgenderism is one of the main tools in their arsenal.

NDE: "The 1 Thing I Learned About Living From Dying"

















"Most of us have no idea who we are. Whenever I meet strangers, instead of asking them what they do for work (as New Yorkers so often do), I ask, “What do you stand for?”

"Nobody has ever been able to answer that.

"The most important thing is to be true to yourself.  Once you know who you are and what you stand for, the game is over."

NDE: Tricia Barker's Conversations with NDErs: Episode #22 Sharon Milliman



Tricia Barker interviews Sharon Milliman who has literally met God the Father, the only person I've ever heard of who has had an encounter like this.   Many NDE experiencers have met Jesus and angels, but she's the only one I've found that has met God himself.  As is often the case with people who have had NDE's, Sharon had a very difficult life, and at one time was seriously considering suicide.  But, as you can imagine, the experiences she has had have totally transformed her life, and she has some tremendous wisdom to share.  While the NDE community's main message is that there is nothing to fear in death, the secondary message is how we need to live life in the here and now.   Good stuff!
