Bible history is filled with people who began the race with great success but failed at the end because they disregarded God’s rules.
From Psalm 119:66: “Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments.”
Remembering past, page by page
Flipping through one more memory
Reliving yesterday’s heartaches
Manuscript’s incomplete, hollow words
Steaming locomotive hurls dreams
Sitting alone throughout this night
Waiting for next stop, none scheduled
Life’s empty script, more unfulfilled scenes
Seeing only darkness tonight
Looking out into gloom’s abyss
Thinking, will morning arrive soon?
Starless sky offers nothing to find
Hearing dreadful noise far ahead
Tumbling from seat, frail ego bruised
Realizing train’s journey derailed
Future’s blueprint—one big, jumbled mess
Waking to sunrise’s promise
Feeling blood flowing through veins
Pinching self, wanting to make sure
Yesterday forgotten, quiet now

I believe that if you’ll just stand up and go, life will open up for you.
Love is definitely a foundation, a spiritual connection that makes peace.
Tina Turner (1939-2023) was an American-born singer who became known as the “Queen of Rock ‘n Roll.”
From Joshua 1:9: “I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Challenges rolling in
On waves of ceaseless tides
Searching for faithful hope
Jesus shall be thy guide
Universe seems empty
Darkness never takes rest
Seeking encouragement
Jesus hears each request
Faith walking toward light
Hope growing from His love
Filling heart with fresh grace
Jesus comes from above
Optimism descending
Day’s outlook shining bright
Finding encouragement
Jesus shares trusted light
From Romans 15:5-6: “May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The only way to find happiness in the grind of life is to do so by faith.
From 2 Corinthians 5:6-7: “So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight.”
Mother joins baby
Replenishing energy—
Growing together
Past memories teach
Navigating one more storm—
Ship staying afloat
Every flowing verse
Drawn in deeper with each sip—
Not wanting to leave
