Thanksgiving Day in the USA (Poem)

Posted Saturday, November 07, 2009 (13 days 4 hours ago.) Viewed 57 times.

A day to give Thanks - for all our blessings
The turkey is stuffed - with scrumptious tasting dressings

Friends we invite over to join us on this special day
As we sit around the table - we will bow our heads and pray

Lord, we thank you for your guidance throughout the year
For you've shown us the way - your love is sincere

Let us remember this day - when our nation - like no other
All began to flourish - with the help of our Indian brother

As a nation we are united - by the grace of his hand
To all nations America became known - as the Promised Land

We move forward from this day - into a new tomorrow
All of us together - with his strength - we will ask to borrow

Thanksgiving Day we celebrate as a nation bound together
In rain snow and sleet - through all kinds of weather

As a people throughout the world - we all come united
For our constitution proclaims - that we are all invited

I have an article I wrote three years ago on search warp about Thanksgiving if anyone wishes to read it. Click here

My Encounter with the Supernatural

Posted Friday, November 06, 2009 (14 days 14 hours ago.) Viewed 125 times.

The term supernatural or supranatural (Latin: super, supra "above" + natura "nature") pertains to an order of existence beyond the scientifically visible universe. Religious miracles are typically supernatural claims, as are spells and curses, divination, the belief that there is an afterlife for the dead, and innumerable others. Supernatural beliefs have existed in many cultures throughout human history.

Characteristic for phenomena claimed as supernatural are anomaly, uniqueness and uncontrollability, thus lacking reproducibility required for scientific examination. Supernatural themes are often associated with paranormal and occult ideas, suggesting for possibility of interaction with the supernatural by means of summoning or trance for instance.

My encounter with the supernatural

I am not a medium I do not claim to receive messages or have contacts with the dead. However, on one occasion I have seen spirits from an afterlife.

Back in 1970, I was working at a grain manufacturing plant I was a lost soul back then. I read books on philosophy, science and at that time searching for answers to the unexplained phenomena in the world.

World affairs did interest me too but I believed if I was to become involved in world affairs I would first have to have some solid foundation to stand on. i.e. a philosophy or beliefs in something that I could fall back on to help guide me along in life.

Well one night in December of 1970 I was lying in my bed and my body became all tensed up I awoke and saw three spirits. There was a man wearing a suit and tie at the end of my room looking at me and smiling. There was also a young girl sitting on my bed and looking down at me and at the end of my bed was another spirit waving his arms around.

I reached out my hand to the man across the room. I wanted him to tell me something but all three spirits just disappeared.

Now the following night as I lay in bed my body got all tensed up again, I looked up, and I saw Jesus.

Now one might think this happening would have changed my entire way of looking at things. However, I just thought to myself well maybe I'll see more spirits and Jesus was just in the back of my mind. It wasn't until a year later in December of 1971 when someone asked me what I would do if I were president of the US.

It was then I spoke my mind for a very brief interval getting things of my chest and into the open. After that night, I haven't been the same person I believed people were playing games with me on television, radio, newspapers and so on. I was learning a different language all over again.

This incident led me to a VA psychiatric ward where for the first time in my life I had counseling from doctors of psychology. I told the doctors about my experience the previous year with the spirits I seen.

Some doctors were skeptical of my vision however, some did believe me but couldn't help me with the predicament I was in, at that time I was diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia.

It has been quite some time now since I seen spirits I've been on medication and I still see a psychiatrist every six months. I have improved a lot in the past 30 + years i.e. my mental condition I still at times believe people are playing games with me on television. Although I also know I'm not alone I've seen other patients on psychiatric wards who deal with similar situations as mine.

I also believe through my experience that the world has changed a lot as well. I believe Jesus had a lot to do with my ordeal through the years. Although I haven't seen him since that night in 1970, I believe he was with me through it all. I also believe he is still with me and that someday he will get me out of the predicament I'm in.

I've talked with other people who told me they've also seen spirits in their lifetime. If anyone reading this article has had any exposure with the supernatural, please tell me about your experience in a comment or get back to me on my contact icon.

Turning Over a New leaf

Posted Wednesday, November 04, 2009 (16 days 13 hours ago.) Viewed 819 times.

I'm going to turn over a new leaf, which is an old American idiom meaning "I'm going to make changes in my life for the better."

Yes through the past 38 years now, I've been in and out of mental hospitals for psychiatric problems. I saw my shrink yesterday and told him I believe I have made a tremendous amount of progress the past few years.

I'll be 61 years old this coming November 8th. To some young people this may seem like an old age but to me I wouldn't want to go back one day of my life. The older I get the better I feel.

I've been through some difficult times the past four decades. However, through it all I believe the world has changed for the better. I believe we are living in a better world today than the days of yesterday.

Only today, I personally seem to be trapped in the middle of it all. I can't seem to get started in the process of following my dreams. My dreams have always been to become involved in world affairs.

When I was released from the military in 1969 all by myself, I began to rewrite the constitution. I believed at that time in history that it was time for a change in our ways here in America. Those days were very different from these days i.e. in those days there were many of us trying to make things better in the world.

Together we did make a difference back then which is felt today among all who cared in those days. What I'm saying is we are freer today in those days we were slaves of the times.

Nevertheless, I'm not going to let these times stop me from being myself. Yes, I found since I've been writing for search warp that I feel as though I am doing something positive with my life. I am getting my ideas out into the open.

However someday I will begin to play my role in world affairs where I can make a difference in not only my life but in the lives of many others. Yes I am going to turn over a new leaf.

Better World (Poem)

Posted Tuesday, November 03, 2009 (17 days 13 hours ago.) Viewed 31 times.

I wrote this poem with the thought of a better world in mind. To try to make conditions better in the world can be a difficult task to engage in but it all begins with but a single step.

Better World

To dream of a more peaceful world for all to live in
Yes, we can change the world to a better place
For the future depends on where we've been
Mistakes we made - by not living by God's grace

We can improve the world if we give it our best
Working for tomorrow should be our true goal
From the fruits of our labor - God will truly bless
The world needs our care - let it come from our soul

Today begins our journey - into a new tomorrow
Let us promise ourselves to make it all come true
Our strength from God - we will ask to borrow
The road may get rough - but we will see it through

From yesterday we move forward with help from above
The future begins - with but a single step nearer
For today brings the promise - of all his true love
When we reach our goal - all - will look so much clearer
