What’s Laminin you ask? Well take 8 minutes and find out. All I can say is, “Wow!”.

Last week one of my Pen Pals wrote me a letter and included a poem he wrote as well.
So I thought I’d share it with yall.

“Situations”
Oh, how my mind seeks rest. Oh, how my soul seeks a friend.
But my soul still goes without, because of the situation I’m in.
My situation causes pain. It causes destruction and disgrace.
It even caused the ones who love me, to disappear before my face.
Some lasted for a winter, some through the spring and fall.
Some even lasted for a summer, but my situation out lasted them all.
Now it’s only me and my situation and it haunts me like a cause.
Some even think my situation will out last my time on earth.
But God forbids, he won’t allow my situation to last that long.
For God made me a real man, and my situation is not that strong.
So why did my situation scare them? was their love even real?
Out of sight, out of mind, regardless how it feels.
But I must respect my situation, it taught me to help myself.
It taught me to love everyone, but trust me, no one else.
It’s funny how situations occur, but even funnier how they end.
I’ll never forget my situation because it showed me my true friends.
But I’m glad I found a friend, in Jesus Christ that is who through my situations
will never leave or forsake me, but will love me until the end! - Raymond

God has given everyone gifts, talents and ideas but we have a tendency to either sit on them or just let them die. Our environment plays a huge part in this; like who we spend our time with and the things we choose to do. Continue reading »

I was listening to a video the other night on YouTube and it really spoke to me. It’s funny how two different people can hear the same thing but have a completely different reaction to it. I took the time to type out the poem and send it to both of my Pen Pals in hopes that it will speak to them as well. Continue reading »

We should leave the judging to THE Judge! It’s so automatic for me to judge others based off what I think is right or wrong. I don’t like that. I want to become less judgmental. I think we as Christians can be the biggest violators when it comes to this. It’s funny to me how we even do it with things that don’t really matter. Continue reading »
