Pauper`s Poetical Pic:
“The Master`s Piece”
When, at times, I do consider
and count His blessings, enumerable;
and oft, at times, lest I grow bitter
and am filled with passion, consumerable;
I remember how much He has forgiven
through His sacrifice that paid my price—
in 50 years or so of livin`—
and it is enough, that is, it does suffice
to tenderize a calloused heart
and make supple again what was dry leather;
unite again what was torn apart
and lift upon the wind, as a feather
this soul that waits upon his Lord
to renew his strength like an eagle
by grace that`s given which can`t afford,
an imperishable crown, O so regal !
Then, to run, and so as not to faint,
enduring hardship and severest trials
this race that`s given to each saint,
persevering mile after mile.
And when tempted to forfeit;
when tossed by tempest upon the waves
or cast into a slimy pit
and like a hart His presence crave;
I bend my knees and bow my head
and pour out like water what`s in my heart
until all I have to say is said
and is one day complete, His work of art.

Pauper`s Pictorial Pic :
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. A.B.Adams May 16, 2021 Sunday
His Offer Still Stands…
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
