Having Strength In Ronnie Doe's Poem '
Theme: Having strength in tough times.
Poem: The strongest girl I ever knew.
She never got to dance,
Or go to her own Prom.
She never got the chance,
To forget where she came from.

She never got to kiss,
A man she idolized.
She never felt love's bliss,
'Cause she was paralyzed.

She never got to talk,
About love with a smile.
She never got to walk,
Down a Church's Aisle.

She never got to say,
Those precious words "I Do".
But she was far and away,
The strongest girl I ever knew.

She couldn't brush her hair,
Or put make up on her face.
She couldn't hold you dear,
Or give you a warm embrace.

She couldn't clasp her hands,
As if in the form of prayer.
She couldn't understand,
Why she was in a wheelchair.

Thought: The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Bible Reading: Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Prayer: Lord, you are Holy above all others, and all of the strength that I need is in your hands.
I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want.
But I admit that it's hard, Lord.
Sometimes I feel like I can’t go on. The pain and the fear are too much for me, and I know that I don’t have the strength on my own to get through this.
I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone.
Please, Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. don't have to worry about tomorrow.
If you just give me the strength that I need today that is all I need.
Keep me from sinning during this trial. Instead, help me to keep my eyes on you. You are the Holy Lord, and all of my hope rests in

    Oh Lord, help me to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, so that I will not sin against you. Grant me faith with deeds because faith without deeds is useless. Let my tongue be used to glorify you and not to curse others. Help me to be humble and lift me up above my peers. Help me to be righteous and wait patiently for you.…

    Another infamous cult was Heaven’s Gate, who was lead by Marshall Herff Applewhite, Jr., nicknamed “Do.” Unlike Manson, Applewhite was very insistent with his beliefs and warnings to others. However, Applewhite was accepting of all people into his following, similarly as Manson was. Applewhite’s faith in the future was religiously based, centered around exterrestrial life and how UFO’s are the only way to go to the Kingdom of Heaven. In addition, he also believed that the only way to access the UFO’s were to commit suicide at a certain time. Robert Balch, a sociologist from the University of Montana, wrote Cults, Religion & Violence: Making Sense of The Heaven’s Gate Suicide, a novel discussing as to why the thirty-nine members of the cult…

    Lord, enlighten me with life’s absolute value and your spirit’s infinite grace. May you eliminate my negative traits and help me think in a positive way. Teach me how to do my works in equal proportion and help me see the world in different angles. Add the beauty of life within me and subtract all of my sins by your mercy you have shed on me. Multiply the seed of your righteousness in and through me, so that I may rightly divide the word of truth and present myself to you as your child who does not need to be ashamed. Show me the difference between good and bad so that I would know which one is the straight path that would lead me to you. Help me understand that the world is a big circle and not all the time, I am on the top. Shed unto me the willingness to be in study mode. Give us supplementary blessings that would help us conquer our problems by all means. For You are worthy of all praise and deserve nothing less than my best, as there is no other God who is equal to or greater than You. You are the origin of all things! How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! May my thoughts also be a sweet savour to you as we count your blessings to infinity. In your perfect and most holy name I come to you, Jesus, and ask these things.…
