Babble on in Babylon

Brimming closets, shoe racks bulge, one in every color, I’ll just indulge.
My wildest whim will oft be met, bigger, faster, give me, get.
Travel on in Babylon.

May I go first? Knew you’d not care, for my time’s precious. You’ve lots to spare.
I’ll slip in front and off I’ll go. See, I’m quite fast and well, you’re quite slow.
I and me fast friends, life-long.
Prattle on in Babylon.

Nip it here, just there a lift. I just turned forty, it was a gift.
The eyes, the lips, the bosoms do, sculptured, lasered, injected, too.
No wrinkles left, the tummy’s gone.
Journey on in Babylon.

Enough of me, how do you view me?
You get one, but give me three.
I couldn’t bare to just say no, it’s my desire and rightly so.
Add another and on and on.
Shuffle on in Babylon.

No end in sight that I can see, today is blocked by the mirror in front of me.
A wreck, a death, tsunami tide, it mildly stirs me, I must confide.
TV claims tens of thousands gone.
Oh well, let’s see what else is on.
Numb to the stunning sight of each new dawn,
Sinking fast in Babylon.

Like a lobster in a pot who begins to like the water hot,
I’ve been duped, been tricked, been had, convinced that truth was somehow bad.
Evil, coddled and cooed and purred, and beckoned me and called and lured.
Now in a place with the lights turned on, I’m racing home from Babylon.
I’m racing home from Babylon.

Taken from the video series in the study of Daniel. Thank you Beth Moore for speaking the truth and your study of God's word. Praying God's abundant blessing and protection on you, your family and ministry.

Encounters With God

Beth Moore said that even in Babylon we can experience glorious intense encounters with God.

I actually had this play out before my very eyes yesterday. I received a phone call from God. Yes it was…. Read my story at Laced With Grace.



Through this series, I am praying, we develop holy habits. Daniel kept his holy habits and God was greatly pleased.

Also, I am posting at Laced With Grace on Friday. Blessings my friends. I love each of you. Have a great weekend.

Daniel the Lion: Week Four

Babel on in Babylon.. Wow, what a great poem. I have looked all over the internet searching for this poem. Can’t be found. Hope to locate it one day soon.

Week Four: You are rich if you can buy a book and have the education to read it. How true this is. Let it sink in. We Americans are rich indeed. What are we doing with our riches? The real question is what are you, personally, doing with your riches.

Beth Moore pointed out warnings signs of our indoctrination into the world. We loose touch with the poor.

We as Christians are entrusted to the world to affect it. We must lead the way in a worldly and carnal culture. One person can make a difference. Do one thing. Sponsor a child at an orphanage, through World Vision or a homeless shelter. Give from your heart. One person can and will make a difference.

Be blessed, Lynn
