Here is a nice Native poem from A friend on Native Smoke Signals Website

Wherever You Are

Whenever your shadow falls on stony ground
And there's not a hand for you to hold
Whenever the dreams you dream come crashing down

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And I'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are

And if you should lose the path along the way
And find yourself walking in the dark
Whenever the ones you love seem far away

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And I'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are

Whenever the fears you hide come reaching through

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And I'll be with you heart and soul

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And I'll be with you heart and soul

And I'll be with you heart and soul
I'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are, wherever you are

I'm with you heart and soul...

Christian Right Insiders Reveal Racism, Virulent Anti-Immigrant Attitudes and Homophobia in Prominent Religious Group | Belief | AlterNet

Jesus himself wouldn't support some of these racial remarks or statement's made by this pastor. He himself know's that he has no room to Judge anybody. He is only human & he is not above anyone here on earth. Unless he can prove that God himself gave him the authority to make these types of decision's upon his knowledge. I don't condone such behavior by anyone, especially if they claim to be a man of God.

PBS Just as Corporate, White, Male and Republican as Commercial TV � SpeakEasy

Link I totally agree with this statement. Most of the programming is paid for by Corporations that want their side of each subject shown, their ways? So how could that be diverse? It's all FAKE & whoever pays the most, get's the most AIRTIME just like regular Television. THE WHOLE IDEA OF PUBLIC WAS LOST!

SOMETHING SCARY JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN, The WENDIGO

The Wendigo is a non-dead creature that roams the earth destroying the good- hearted and those in love. His fate is to wander the Earth feasting on human hearts. The first Wendigo was a mortal who was betrayed by his sweetheart. In revenge for the treachery, he slew his love and ate her heart. Rather than savor the warmth of revenge, his heart was in turn, turned to ice. During daylight hours, and the phases of the moon, the Wendigo looks as you or I. Beware the Wendigo on the three days of the full moon when his power and appetite are greatest. Beware being attacked by the Wendigo. He duplicates himself by attacking but not killing his prey.

THE ONLY KEY

THE ONLY KEY

Love is the only key
that fits in Paradise ports.
It is a piece of Paradise
in every smile, in every good word.,
in every kindness to another.
It is a piece of paradise in every heart
that being a port to a unhappy man,
in each house becomes a home with bread and wine,
with a little human warmth
and a song in the evening.
It is a piece of paradise
in each oasis where love blooms
and people have become human again
for humans, they have become a family,
are brothers and sisters for each other.

Love is your responsibility.
If you lack love,
you can not say that it is God's responsibility
for the misery in this world.
God put his love in your hands
as a key to the gates of every
little piece of paradise.

Some people have a heart of gold.
Of everything they do, it radiates love.
Others do not trust his heart
and never do what your heart
ives them an impulse to do.
It's a shame. Their heart silenced

PSALM 98:1 - 98:9 SING A SONG FOR YAHWEH

Psalm 98

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.

2Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

5Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.

6With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.

7Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

8Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

9Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

YOUR SHEPHERD AND LORD

Your Shepherd And Lord

"The Lord is my shepherd... " - Psalm 23:1

Abraham Lincoln wrote, 'I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.' All of us feel that way at times. That's because we are all sheep in need of a shepherd. Of all God's creatures, sheep seem the least able to care for themselves. They're directionless: they'll walk off a cliff or wander into a river and drown. They're defenceless: they've no claws so they can't fight, run fast or climb a tree to safety. They're dirty: your cat and dog can clean themselves, but sheep get dirty and stay that way. You say, 'I don't like being compared to sheep.'All right, then answer these questions. How well do you control your impulses? Do you ever play the victim? Can you relate to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Are you always upbeat and upright? Do you add to the conflict and confusion, or do you always make peace? Do you truly love people, or do you just use them for your own ends? Are you generous, or do you mostly give to those who have something to give back to you? On a scale of one to ten, how do you score when it comes to the fear of people, or failure, or sickness, or death, or rejection or risk? Is your life an open book? How often do you fail and need forgiveness: weekly? daily? hourly? It sounds like you need a shepherd! So instead of saying, 'The Lord is my shepherd', try saying, 'Because I need a shepherd, I make You Lord of my life'.
