Leaves float in the breeze and dance to the ground
They form a rainbow of colors upon the ground
Those who live in death will only death be found
Those who live in God’s life only life be found
This rainbow carpet covers home tree’s ground
Over time carpet of leaves will become ground
Food for home tree in its leaves will be found
And life from death itself for tree will be found
For we who in our death are buried in ground
Those God formed from earth return to ground
But Jesus who in burial true life was found
To people of ground in Jesus life is found 9/23/18

Fall Tapestry
Falls colors form amazing tapestry
Many colors blend and new colors be
The reds alight the whole like fire
More of them our hearts desire
The yellows bright places in the sea
Of the wondrous rolling tapestry
The green pockets here and there
Adding poignancy to trees when bare
The browns form the flowing sea
The most plentiful color of falls tree
God has a meaning to this tapestry
Each color God gave us eyes to see
The reds remind us sin and loss
Redeemed by Jesus on the cross
The green are from death set free
And will grow and live eternally
The yellows fro and too do toss
If go too far will grow bare by loss
What of the browns of tapestry
That dim the colors of the sea
They are dead though leaves see
Dead to live now and eternally
But the green trees red must share
For life to spread color everywhere
For only the red of Jesus’ blood
Can stem the browns dying flood
Receive the red and green can be
Set afire the flow of Fall’s Tapestry!

Darkness covers the human heart
Living in the planet of darkness
Evil surrounds like clouds above
Tiny slivers of Light break through
Evil is set free to destroy by apathy
Apathy is like a muscular disease
Harm unborn children – so what
We descend into darkness of apathy
Women are violated and who cares
Children are abused and who cares
people die from drugs and who cares
Crime overwhelms and who cares
But the Light breaks through
Willing hearts and lives receive
Apathy is overcome by Light
Evil overcome by those alight

There you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow to the LORD. 12 “And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, since he has no portion nor inheritance with you.” (Deuteronomy 12:10-12 NKJV)

The Biblical meaning of hamas
By the generation of the flood the whole earth had become corrupt, or polluted, and was filled with hamas (Genesis 6:11). The wide range of meanings of the word hamas in the Old Testament encompasses almost the entire spectrum of evil. The term can stand for evil of any sort (Psalm 11: 5, Proverbs 13:2); it may simply stand for falsehood, as in “false witness” (Exodus 23: 1, Deuteronomy 19:15, Psalm 35:1) and it occurs with mirma (Isaiah 60:18; Jeremiah 6:7, 20:8), with the two together meaning something like “plunder and pillage.” Hamas has a very close connection to bloodshed as can be seem from Ezekiel 9:9. Like bloodshed, the term hamas can be used in a physical way, for hamas (or the pollution from it) can cover clothes (Malachi 2:16) and hands (Job 16:17, 1 Chronicles 12:17). In Genesis, the earth was filled with hamas and had itself become polluted because all flesh had polluted its way upon the earth (Genesis 6:11–12).
It was the filling of the earth with hamas and its resultant pollution that prompted God to bring a flood to physically erase everything from the earth and start anew. The flood was not primarily an agency of punishment, but a means of getting rid of a thoroughly polluted world and starting again with a clean, well-washed one. Then, when everything had been washed away, God resolved (Genesis 8:21):
I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every living thing, as I have done.
Bible and Spade 8:1 (Winter 1979) p. 27
Fight pollution! Fight hamas!
