The Final Goodbye

The hospital room was chaos. The patient lay in a coma and her mother was loudly declaring “I tried to tell her what those drugs would do, that she was killing herself but she wouldn’t listen”. Others were sobbing and muttering things like if only we could have made her realize and somebody should have stopped her somehow. Then the blame game started if only you would have told us earlier one of the women directed to her sister and the other replied I had no idea it had gotten so bad..
The mother started complaining to God. “Why did you give me such bad children? I have been so good. I don’t deserve to have to go through all this”
“Shut up” the words thundered through the room. It was the husband of the dying woman and you could see the fury on his face. “Don’t you self centered idiots realize that because of all of you she had given up on life and try as she might she could no longer face your lying faces? The hypocrisy that is your standard was the one thing that wound up destroying her. She knew she was killing herself but she chose to go out in a fog so that she could appear to be happy. She knew how bad the end would be but she determined to make it as livable until she con longer had control.”
The words stunned everyone. They were true. They all knew it but this was the first they had to openly face it and no one was exempt. Heads hung low.
Suddenly there was a stirring from the bed and her eyes fluttered open. She looked directly at her husband and he took her hand. She whispered but all could hear. “Thank you for being with me all these years and protecting me from them. I only regret that I have to leave you.” He leaned down and kissed her cheek and she was gone

A Special Visit by Sonny

An Angel Came To Visit Me
By Sonny

An angel came to call on me
He stayed a little while
We talked about the recent times 
And all the time he smiled

Then he said he had to go
But first I have to say
GOD gives us gifts that we must use
Or HE takes them away

He handed me an envelop
I tried hard to decline
But he replied give thanks to GOD
It’s HIS it is not mine

He left me then and went his way
The tears started to flow
The grace of GOD so humbled me
Why me? I do not know

Needless to say I can’t explain
The timing was just great
Our last dime spent our cupboards bare
‘Twas God there’s no debate

An angel came to visit me
His mission my relief
I wonder why so many doubt
GOD give them true belief

A Prayer For All

By Sonny

I wish for all the will of GOD

His blessings every day

The warmth of love HE shares with you

For that I always pray


For precious dawns bringing the light

That moves the dark away

For sunsets bright with burning gold

And stars that dart and play


For dreams that seem so out of reach

And hope that won't grow cold

For joy that only GOD can give

To both the young and old


All these things I wish for you

As to the LORD I pray

Dear GOD make all these dreams come

true

In your own special way

THOUGHTS ON A WINTER NIGHT BY SONNY

Thoughts on a Winter Night
By Sonny

I sit here thinking of days gone by
And the people I held so dear
Many are gone and will never read this
So I write to those who are here

Your friendship has been a precious thing
A treasure worth more than gold
So before I leave this spinning ball
There are things I know must be told

To those who cared enough for me
To teach me right from wrong
I send you the thanks that you deserve
Directing me to where I belong

To those who passed by when I was down
When life didn't seem worth while
I still find a place inside my heart
That sometimes gives me a smile

To those who saw not the real me
And thought me an arrogant ass
Someday the truth will set you free
And all of these thoughts will pass

For if truth be known the words will say
Of all friends and acquaintances had
Each was a light to help me go on
I never met anyone bad

So when I am gone do not feel upset
I want your hearts filled with joy
For no matter my age remember that I
Lived and left, as a boy
Sonny

I Know The Pain

The Pain
By
Sonny


I know the pain and sorrow
That drives a man to hell
Beware the call from the black pit
Old Satan’s evil spell

The music is so inviting
It lures you to come and play
Then spits you out like a foul taste
And steals your soul away

It smothers your inhibitions
It promises love and gold
As soon as it sucks your life out
You’re banished into the cold

It teaches you you’re unworthy
It laughs at the tears you shed
Forever to hold you captive
In the underground of the dead

Run while there’s still breath in you
Flee to the burning light
Jesus in all HIS glory
Will come to protect your flight

Never again to worry
Dear Jesus has set me free
Though I am undeserving
Messiah has died for me

Yet worry not HE is with us
Death could not keep HIM down
He sits on HIS throne in heaven
Wearing the HOLY CROWN

Never again to worry
Look what’s been done for me
Never would I have dreamed it
With JESUS eternally


HE NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY

HE NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY


I find it unbelievable that a nation such as ours could have deteriorated to the point we are at today. We have arrogant leaders, oppressive police and corrupted courts claiming that they are our best hope in this evil society. What a joke.
I am amazed to hear a police officer claim to hate liars when he and his brothers and sisters in “Law Enforcement” are not only willing but trained liars with the blessing of our leaders and courts. That is some example for our children. What hypocrites.
I’m fed up with Politicians who will go along with any philosophy that will advance their careers, regardless of the morality or lack of it.
I am sick of presidents who have no respect for the office they represent and the services under their leadership.
We have schools that teach lies as absolute truth while also teaching that there are no absolutes. Sex is the primary form of entertainment and pleasure is the only thing worth living for. How did we arrive at this place in time? Where will it all end and when?
While it may seem impossible to know the answers to these questions it is not. What we are now experiencing is fully spelled out in God’s word and the timing is there also. These truly are the final days and the number of them is low. While no man may know the day or the hour it is true that the Father in heaven has determined that day and hour before even time began. We are fast closing in on that time of termination.
It’s hard to explain what brings on the dark moods. As Christians we fall into the trap that convinces us that we are being attacked and led into our black moods by Satan who is the ruler of that world. But in truth that is a lie that has been perpetrated by the very church that claims eternal loyalty to the one who gave HIS all for our salvation. Satan becomes the crutch that we hold on too hoping that our carnal rationalization will be accepted because others are using this same explanation for deeds we know are no ones fault but our own. It is the willingness to allow ourselves to become mired in self absorption that makes it possible to avoid facing the truth head on .We refuse to acknowledge the diminishing of our spiritual life and claim the hectic process of everyday life as the undefeatable reason for our slowly drifting away from the only security we can claim. The process of living becomes the scapegoat and shoulders the blame for our inadequacies. Many of us are eventually awakened by the Holy Spirit and while not understanding what has occurred or being sure of what we expect of and for ourselves we realize that there is little or no satisfaction in the life we are living. When we look at and examine individual cases it seems that we are witnessing a variety of complex reasons for the place we find ourselves at and the actions that we have taken. This is also an untruth and must be exposed for what it really is. There are only two groups of people that exist in this dimension of being. The first are the saved and the second are the unsaved. Each is enmeshed in their own situation. The unsaved are searchers of an unknown god. The saved are searchers of the truth. I would like to explain what I am referring too and I believe that you will see the truth in what follows.
The unsaved first group, realize at some point in their lives (usually at the seemingly highest point of their lives) that something is missing. There is no awareness of what it is but the emptiness is gnawing at their very being and they slowly understand that if it is not somehow filled there will be uncontrollable problems. Some how and some way they feel that they must fill the void and then they will truly be happy. While the solution to the problem has already been supplied they do not partake of it because that would mean accepting something or someone other than themselves. They would have to turn outward and the self indulgent fight with all their might against such a drastic move. As a result it does not happen.
The second group posses the answer to the emptiness felt by the first group and yet there suddenly appear complications that were neither expected, nor prepared for. The saved understand that their lives now have purpose so they set about seeking the ultimate goal with a heartfelt desire to complete whatever it is that God desires them to do. The problem they often wind up with is that they refuse to wait for God to lead. With heads held high they venture forth sure that as they boldly march into the fray somehow their mission will become clear. If only they would accept that the purpose of their lives can be found in the will of God and only he can reveal it to them.
Both groups are being called by the Spirit of God which has been sent forth among them with the express purpose of gathering His children to Him. At a precise time that God the Father has foreknowledge of the unsaved person will face the moment of decision. The opportunity is made possible by God but the acceptance must be made by man. Does this mean that God is not sure of how He will be received? Of course not! The events occur in the order they do so that all are given an equal chance and can never complain that they were treated unfairly.
The truth is revealed to all and all are led to the moment of final decision. I refer to it as the moment of final decision because once a decision is made God accepts it without reservation. Don’t be misled by those who insist that you can refuse today and change your mind tomorrow. God is a just and loving Father who expects you to be as true to your decision as He is to His promise. He will hold you to your decision!
Many readers will disagree with these statements and use the common argument to substantiate their beliefs. “God is a merciful and forgiving God who because of His desire for all of us to be saved will allow us to procrastinate or vacillate between the possibilities as long as we desire. If we decide that the time is not right for us to accept His offer of grace and mercy He will just wait until we have had more time to think it over eventually coming to the proper decision. Then He will give us another “final moment of decision.”
For the sake of all who believe this lie I have a deep sorrow in me but I accept what God has ordained because He is our God and we are His to do with as He pleases.

My Secret by Sonny Subtitle Magic For Life

REBIRTH
Curtain up. Places everyone. The performance begins! 

MY SECRET
by Sonny
(MAGIC FOR LIFE)

Sit and let me tell you
Of a story seldom told
Of treasures in a strange place
That man can never hold

Strange lands we never travel
Trips we can not start
Dreams we can’t unravel
Except here in our heart

A place that has no owner
You see it’s owned by all
It’s seldom ever talked about
Though large it’s very small

One day we all shall go there
When time down here is through
We’ll dance and sing with Angels
So many things to do

For now it’s just a story
Of streets all paved with gold
But it’s the greatest story
That man has ever told

A place where all have freedom
Where nothing can go wrong
No matter creed or color
It’s there we all belong

No tears there and no harsh words
Peace and tranquility
A place that calls the children
From all of history

These words I tell you quietly
I pray you won’t forget
One day you’ll tell the story
Of our little secret

Tell to all the little ones
Share with the big ones too
Swear them into secrecy
The same as I did you

And when they ask who told you
Tell them who I AM
A traveler on a journey
Just say the GREAT I AM

Once they hear the story
Their life will change you see
For they will want visit
Bring them all to me

For you, are all the treasure
Not gold that you can spend
The journey is the secret
The life without an end

Now sit with me a while
Rest here in my arm
I’ll hold you close my child
And shield you from harm

The next time that I see you
I’ll hold you by the hand
And show you through my palace
Delight you with the land

You’ll love the new adventure
Just as you did the old
And it will be my pleasure
Your heart to always hold

So worry not my child
No harm can come your way
You’ve always been my treasure
With me you’ll always stay

Go now laugh with others
Do all the things you love
Know that I am watching
So closely from above

Fear not for life’s a treasure
My child there’s more to see
And I will be there with you
For all eternity
