Shaping Thoughts

Date:

In view of all that we got,
Through shared compassion of God;
I urge you to share the thought,
With whom you honor and laud.

Be a living sacrifice,
Dedicated to the Lord;
Let earth no longer entice,
That makes God to be ignored.

Be happy and never grim,
Going through every day;
Do what is pleasing to Him,
While you trust and obey.

For it is appropriate,
Doing this kind of worship;
When you pray you meditate,
To bond your relationship.

Be not like those of the place,
Just change the way that you think;
Letting Him to shed His grace,
To stop the poison you drink.

Then you are always able,
In knowing His desires;
As your life will be stable,
Goodness what God requires.

For the kindness God has shown,
So I ask you not to think;
On doing it all alone,
To cause your problems to shrink.

Your thoughts should lead you to use,
Judgment based on His wisdom;
Rather than causing abuse,
That blocks you from His Kingdom.

We have more than just one part,
Which do not do the same thing;
Each one cannot be a heart,
Or a tongue where words fling.

Each one has a job to do,
Through a gift that we must serve;
For helping us each day through,
A spiritual learning curve.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
