Previously posted on March 25, 2017
In 1992 I was a guest speaker in the Los Angeles congregation. My friend with whom we traveled together from Pasadena took notes, but as his habit was, he took them in the form of spontaneously generated poetry.
He really caught the essence of my message well in this poem. I ...

Having a sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
If you want your dreams to come true, don’t oversleep.
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends….B1.
The 10 commandments are not multiple choice.
The happiness of your life depends on ...

We are one year closer to the kingdom of God
We can’t despair that the worlds a mess,
We can’t be overcome with doubt and stress.
We know the job that is ahead,
We know God’s word must be our bread.
God called us all to do a work, to warn the world of things to come,
Let’s put our hearts ...

You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
“Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet.”
Depending on the channel you tuned,
You got Rob and Laura – or Ward and June.
It felt so good. It felt so right.
Life looked better in black and white.
I ...

I have been praying this for years
But have come to see how it solves my fears.
I worried how God could get the people to get along on His Holy hill.
Could he trust them, as spirits to put aside their will.

We are here to live and learn ...

Another poem by William D. May from Chicago
by William D. May
Have you looked close at the flowers this Fall?
They are full of color and all so tall.
The fields are full of colorful grain,
We have been blessed with sun and rain.
Fruit and nuts the trees have shared,
We see again that God has cared.
As we enjoy our ...
