“The Hard but Proper Path”

A Song for the Sorrowful:

“In Due Season”

Does it seem like the end ?
Everything has been lost ?
The hour`s too late ?
Your counting the cost...

You waited and hoped
that Jesus would come
but your dream is now dead
and your heart`s feeling numb...

Yet, this is your hour !
So, stand and don`t cower !
For there`s more than one bud
that gives birth to more than one flower !

And remember His words
to Martha and Mary
who watched Lazarus die
while Jesus did tarry:

Yea, He stood and He wept
as His tender heart it did grieve
but He firmly affirmed,
“If you`ll only believe !”

Indeed, this is the time
for our Hero to enter
to arise and take charge;
to assume front and center.

So, although the hour has past
and your forlorn and downcast
believe and receive
for the Good Lord`s good will
will at last come to pass.

A Muse for the Mournful:

“Feathery Friends”

Feathery friends
are good for the heart
as our Creator depicts them
His fine work of art.

When slowly they move
across the blue tinted sky,
I pause and take notice
as they capture my eye.

And so as I watch
my heart doth feel peace;
from the business of life
I find some release.

For the Heaven`s cry out
through day and through night
of the Glory of God,
the Father of Lights.

So, though you feel rushed
and when you walk you look down
look up at the Heavens
for His love doth abound.

Yea, the stars in their place
speak of Abraham`s sons
and daughter`s by faith
of which you are one.

Again of those clouds
which slowly do pass
they speak of God`s timing
which to us is not fast.

Indeed, what the Good Lord has promised
is well on its way,
in His perfect timing
as we trust and obey.

So don`t lose your hope
or give in to despair,
take note of the clouds
way up there in the air !

Pauper`s Pictorial Pick Part :

“Hope for a Nation”

A Showa era Ojisan is holding the hands of a young boy and girl while all three look in the direction of a diamond Mt. Fuji. The heart shaped sun emblazoned with a cross may be seen as setting as an ominous black cloud approaches, signaling the potential climax of the heartfelt cries of Christians throughout the centuries. However, what may seem to be a sunset, may very well be, a SONrise indeed ! This may apply to any people of any nation !

“Juxtaposition”

At some time in my life,
I admit, I`ve heard about Him
through mass media, church, family,
acquaintance or friend.

The words that they`d speak
like love, mercy and grace
were truly attractive
but you see, I had to save face...

What would my family think
if I was really to try
and seek this God-man, named Jesus,
who for sinners, did die.

And of my community and culture,
I must conform.
I can`t stand out or be different
I must maintain the norm.

Yet, all of my own effort
to get and to be
pales in comparison
to His love on Calvary`s tree.

Yes, there`s just something about Him
that draws and attracts
if I could only step forward
and never, ever look back.

His Offer Still Stands…

`Come…`

A very warm and hearty welcome from PSP & IUA !

Whether you mistakenly landed here, or found this site, perhaps, after hearing of it `through the grapevine,` I truly hope and pray that your time spent here is well met.

That is, I truly hope and pray that you may find some small thing to help you get up, get back, carry on or just finish strong…

After all, `The Way` of the first century is still the only Way, today.

Sincerely Yours,

A.B.Adams
