    Seer Saw Sawer See
    By Arley Steinhour 071311

    Seer Saw - Sawer See
    Our History front and back
    Bound up tightly - Between the rings
    To guide a heart on track

    No where found - But in the Book
    Called Bible, Old and New
    Writings sacred - Blessed by God
    Ever holy to me and you

    The tree rings silent - No word spoken,
    Yet a guide to years gone by
    Markers to pages - History of man
    God written for mortal eye

    Today we marvel - At Seers words
    Our God so True and Just
    Belief in Him - The Word of God
    Our Salvation ‘Belief’ the Must

    Works of man - No prize won
    Naught but Filthy Rag
    Grace the key - Son Disciple
    Places Blessing within our bag

    The choice we have - A Choice not be
    Acceptance with Wisdom be
    Price for Sin - Paid at the Cross
    Salvation by grace His Gift be free

    Offer rejected - Offer ignored
    Lake of Fire the destination
    Accept Salvation - Eternal Life
    Enjoyment beyond our Expectation

    See a tree - Think Prophecy
    If only the rings could speak
    Read the Word - Hear the Word
    Speak His Word to those who seek

    AMEN

    Blessed Christine
    By Arley Steinhour 071311

    Your every visit, your every word,
    Your every brush stroke on her hair
    Fills mothers ‘things to do’ bag
    To wait until you both can share

    A full mail bag, by Heaven's Gate
    Delivered, her name upon the slate
    She'll know who filled that welcome bag
    With the love for her you state

    What seems like she's not hearing
    God wants to age just right
    So the flavor of your reunion
    Brimming full, brings great delight

    So let your heart not weary
    Every moment fill with love
    Practice for home-coming
    As He guides you from above

    The blessing that you are to her
    Will return to you ten fold
    In a crown of Gold and Silver
    Made in a very Special Mold

    The Hands of Jesus

    AMEN

    (To Christine Hart, in reference to her poem about her mothers failing health.)

    Cool Prayer
    By Arley Steinhour 072111

    Temperature, over a hundred
    The Weather man did say
    Everybody runs inside
    AC on, another wonderful day

    Wasn't always that way
    And not too long ago
    Heat of day did grow a crop
    And help the sweat to flow

    Some folk carried cooling
    That looked like a hand held fan
    Richer folk had electricity
    And didn't wear out the hand

    Grandma bought an electric
    That swung from side to side
    Sprinkled water on the gauze
    Cooling temperature with pride

    Today we close the shop down
    Almost shutting down the town
    Doesn't matter any way
    When there's almost none around

    The only thing that the heat did
    Back before our house could be cooled
    Was slow down a little what we did
    Let the sweat flow until our feet were pooled

    I think I like the new days
    at my PC and staying cool
    Not working up a sweat no more
    You can't call me a Fool

    I also liked the 'Good Old Days though
    For them, thank you Lord.

    AMEN

    From Cross to My Being
    By Arley Steinhour 072311

    Nineteen Hundred and Six years passed by
    From when Jesus died on the Cross
    A Ten pound baby came to crash the party
    To show the world who's Boss

    This baby, I will tell you now
    I see each day in the mirror
    Having lived a life of blessings
    Most great, but some in terror

    Born to the trusty scalpel
    by the Doctor skilled to cut
    Too big to enter life normal
    Twas my head, and not my butt

    Infant years spent in terror
    of being left beside a road
    or murdered in a beating
    for a child a heavy load

    Enduring War, and Tribulation
    then came my teenage years
    He led me to athletics
    instead of drinking beers

    High School grades made me wonder
    If I had a welcome place on earth
    D's and D-minus plenteous
    This young rock, held a 'lower birth'

    The teachers frowns were many
    Always on their scowling face
    I wasn't even an also ran
    Allowed not, to even run the race

    Some way, the time arrived for me
    Graduation, a wondrous day
    I was now an adult
    Or at least well upon my way

    Some years later from a dear friend
    She confided her fear to me
    I'd end up going to prison
    Never more to live life free

    The Navy thought some different
    according to my score
    I qualified for higher training
    They offered much and even more

    Away I went to see the world
    Trained in Dit's and Dah's
    A skill I thought I'd never learn
    At Radio station, there I was

    To bore you with my life story
    Of wife, plus children and such
    I'll pass on that till a later day
    and thank you very much

    The years I cited brought me typing
    To bend your eye a while
    Jesus is the one who saves you
    To you, Him I witness with a smile.

    So, open up your Bible
    Find the man from Galilee
    Surrender All Sin over to Him
    Live all Eternity with Him, and even me.

    AMEN

    GUN LAP
    by Arley Steinhour 072511

    I see Tribulation rolling
    Oer this planet we call earth
    Prophetic Trumpet blowing
    Without happiness or mirth

    Insanity runs rampant
    With a Jihad flare
    People killing people
    Until there's no one there

    They kill us
    Now them we kill
    On a bus
    Or top of hill

    God's robe is wet
    With all His tears
    His heart is set
    And Heaven cheers

    The time is right
    The Son prepared
    To strike His light
    with Trumpet blared

    Snatch Bride away
    All those expecting
    Leave behind that day
    Those still Faith collecting

    Seven years
    Hell on Earth
    Many tears
    Gives Death new birth

    Where once ten stood
    Now two or three
    With hearts of wood
    Under rock or tree

    Kingdom by an Iron Rod
    Satan sealed a Thousand year
    'Works' the marker judged by God
    Salvation's Grace no longer here

    Heart-check for Royal sealing
    Check Ownership by God
    After Rapture, one appealing
    Become His, and bear the Rod.

    AMEN

    Good Morning Lord 072611
    By Arley Steinhour

    I wake up in this morning
    As you slowly light the sky
    Happy in my knowing
    Another night's gone by

    The light high in the heaven
    Shows me trees and clouds and such
    Reminds me of Love's Levin
    Makes the heart swell oh so much

    I marvel at your Power
    I marvel at your Grace
    You light this day up just for me
    So I can see your Face

    This day is laid out for me
    I only need perceive
    Never forced upon me
    I taste the Love I need receive

    The beauty of this day is there
    The world is free to see
    Beauty shows how much you care
    Salvation offered being Free

    Your light flows through the window
    As your Love for all mankind
    Love for all on earth below
    Yet most refuse to Love in kind

    We that love you have one goal
    Witness, You and your Salvation
    To those living as Satan's foal
    Or wayward leader of a nation

    So shower us with sunshine
    May it sparkle in our smile
    May we drink your Blood-wine
    And race the Winner's narrow mile.

    AMEN

    Challenge of Faith
    By Arley Steinhour 072711

    When our feet are closest to the ground,
    When we know the wrong end is facing 'down;'
    We know we're prayerfully inverted,
    In Faith we must be heavy skirted,
    Only then from God, we receive a Crown.

    When to others we witness with a lie,
    When We know our soul is about to die;
    Only Truth must any hearer hear,
    Praising God with Love's Agape fear;
    Only then can Faith take wing and fly

    When at Church on Sunday, Strutting we be found,
    When people weigh our faith-oration by the pound,
    Then at Bema, what a blaze,
    Twigs and paper be our praise,
    'Works,' dust and ashes, then returns to ground.

    Can we be Christian because we say we are?
    Can we beam God's Love, both near and far?
    If we selfishly do hold it in,
    We've committed a Cardinal Sin;
    Then punishment be meted out, with Iron Bar.

    If you walk to Jesus down the Church House aisle,
    Or turn to Him, arms raised with tear filled smile,
    Salvation washes over you;
    Never more a debt is due;
    Holy Ghost moves into heart Eternal, plus a while.

    AMEN

    Storm before the STORM
    by Arley Steinhour 072711

    The crashing sound of thunder
    Rolls across the Prairie plain
    Lightning flash and booming
    causes soul to feel great pain

    The people of this calling
    has a haunting sound behind
    Look not back the warning
    You'll see nothing left to find

    His anger is now flaming
    in God's face, red with rage
    The book is quickly ending
    There be naught but another page.

    The Prophecies have shouted
    Cried a dirge of whoa and tears
    We haven't adhered to His word
    Seldom in Six thousand years.

    The Abrahamic Promise
    The Covenant we swore
    We wandered off the premise
    And became a Bible *****

    We searched for fun adventure
    Worshiped Idols with no heart
    Placed them all above Him
    His blessings, now we have no part

    The words subscribed by Daniel
    Isaiah's warnings, God's own Crier
    Ezekiel, Zechariah speak of war
    So now we face the burning pit of fire

    Fall on knees face to the ground
    Repent of Sin-filled deeds
    His Grace will make us 'Wheat' again
    Blessed crop, not weeds.

    The Rod of His chastisement
    Welts the back, as we justly need
    Purifying all we've done
    Until once again, we be His Seed.

    AMEN

    Prophecy Game One
    By Arley Steinhour 072811

    A third of Sun quits shining
    A third of Moon does too
    What could temper lumens
    The hand of God, say you?

    Prophetically this happens
    For three days in a row
    What is it that could do this
    We all would like to know

    I can't profess to answer
    I really can't be sure
    But, Comet 'C two-thousand-ten'
    Elenin x-1 might be the cure

    So, dash right out and sell the farm
    You won't need it where I'm going
    Sell also Timeshare, won't do no harm
    Cannot sleep with Trumpet blowing

    If you believe a word I've said
    Or think you have that answer too
    Go to Doctor, check your head
    Then to Padded Cell, they're expecting you

    Yes, Prophecy is so much fun
    Much to see and things to do
    Focused intently on the only One
    Keeping the Watch on sky so blue

    I cannot say anything will work
    Or have a chance of coming true
    C2010/X1 Elenin lineups and earthquakes analyzed | Ralf Engel dot Com
    Go here, see if I'm kidding you.

    AMEN (with a great big grin)

    Trailer Tailor Praying Sailor
    By Arley Steinhour 073111

    I have an old Tent trailer
    That does languish in the yard
    Canvas not fit for a sailor
    Resurrection very hard

    Bought it seven years ago
    Needing I C U at least
    Quickly quickly time did flow
    In three I had a Resurrection beast

    Just to make sure I was right
    I waited four years more
    Tire flat, and paint not bright
    Couldn't even open the door

    Time to make decision
    Decide what I will do
    Can it stand revision
    rebuilt through and through?

    The frame is long and wider
    Not high off of the ground
    Just right for Mowing rider
    and some tools, a thousand pounds

    Hmm says I in wonderment
    Can I make this project work
    Is it worth the money spent
    Or be I a bumbling jerk?

    I've done this kind of thing before
    with projects back yard style
    It'd have a new Parade style floor
    Expanded uses, would make me smile

    With drawing board I'll draw away
    Figure out just what I'll do
    Might even get it done some day
    The timing, Jesus, I leave up to you.

    AMEN

    Debt Cap Travail
    By, Arley Steinhour 073111

    The word came landing in my lap
    Took my heart right to my shoes
    Congress will increase the cap
    For USA that's real bad news

    Two Trillion more the cap they say
    Allows some time to fix the wrong
    Forgetting they just spent that much
    Before the bell could gong

    They'd take away our S S A
    With Defense under-funded
    Doctor's put on reduced pay
    All benefits impounded

    Every penny spent in foreign aid
    keeps flowing out the door
    Every low hand trick is played
    To destroy us, ever more

    Refusing to increase the cap
    The thing that just might work
    Foiled by the Greedy hand Rat-trap
    Snapping shut on the Welfare Perk

    So stand aside, and try to hide
    Destruction's on its way
    Escalating debt-pain espied
    No man on earth could pay

    Two Trillion more placed right away
    Spending cut slowly, a decade rake
    Pork spending needing funding, paid
    Has a chance to deeply drive the stake

    The heart of 'We the People'
    can't survive the money drain
    Slavery without a Christian Steeple
    Will cause much blood to rain

    Come soon Lord Jesus. AMEN

    Good Night Prayer
    By Arley Steinhour 080211


    Now we lay us down to sleep
    We pray the Lord our flag to keep

    We raise Debt limit once again
    Knee-caps gone now must present chin

    Awaiting Chinese knock-out punch
    We find our friends are 'Out to Lunch'

    We stand alone, from those we've aided
    All their love for us has faded

    Lift our eyes up to God on high
    Now that our Nation's about to die

    The world thinks it can stand aside
    Without our help, regain their pride

    Don't need our Christianized leadership
    Satan's brew they think is best to sip

    We just passed another big Debt Cap
    Grandchildren receives it in their Lap

    They can never pay the Debt we owe
    Who cares, if gone and hear not their whoa

    Never again, can we stand up proudly
    To say 'We're Right,' once spoken loudly

    So snuggle down into the pillow
    Become as limp as limbs of Willow

    Nightmare soon haunts all of man
    One day's pay to fill one bread-pan

    Only God, can save the day
    Bible says it works that way

    We turned the key to our expiration
    Now we wait to become another Ex-Nation

    Debt 'Snow Ball' soon too big to stop
    The Rich now vie to stay on top

    Jesus never carried a dime
    Yet, He comes out Richest, every time

    So turn your wayward heart to Him
    Instead of Riches, sing Him, an Hymn.

    AMEN

    We have strings, to lift us up, to brim-fill other countries cup, Now we're broke, they disappear, pretending we're not here. Once we're gone they soon will cry, the Welfare Well has just about run DRY. Tribulation right behind, Our protection they can't find. (Penochio's favorite tune)

    The Bad The Good The Praise
    By Arley Steinhour 080411

    They now can refuse treatment, so we can die,
    Thinking that would make us cry.

    New Care plan has no room for me;
    Age now be well past Seventy.

    Social asset I no longer be;
    'In kindness,' they'll let my soul fly free.

    Little do they in this leadership,
    Know I want to take that trip.

    No place for God, in this One World Order;
    Man and Nation soon know no Border.

    'Obama Plan,' the new nick-name;
    Passed unread, now that's a shame;

    Just part of written Prophecy;
    Jew and Christian, are main casualty.

    Until, that is, when God Stands Up,
    Then with Wrath, He fills their cup.

    Tribulation and they just disappear,
    Till Great Throne judgment time is here.

    We stand before His Holy Throne,
    The Bride of Christ, His very Own;

    Singing Praises, as if we were alone,
    Praise and Worship, standing or prone.

    Never more, shall we be apart;
    Eternal Love, with Overflowing Heart.

    AMEN

    Be you young, or be we old,
    Be it hot or be it cold,
    From Beginning HE knows the End,
    Turn to Jesus Christ my friend.

    In 1952, or there about, I listened to a record that played this first part lyrics. I don't remember the name, for sure, but it had to do with a Hobo ballad, passing through life and the world (I was 10 or 11). I couldn't afford the record, so went back to the store for a couple of day, so I could play the platter in the booth, and memorize it. I have been singing that lilt for over sixty years, now. For many decades, I have wanted to add a lyric to that song, and today, I offer the second part, in my authorship. I hope there isn't any law against adding words to an ancient tune (if so, I will be in jail with a lot of rich entertainers). (^8 What I say here may not mean much to your heart, but the lyrics I finally have placed, does for mine. Hope you enjoy (read it in 'Slow Blues' rhythm). (PS: the song was not a hit, but with me, I think...too bad)

    Old Blues, Eternal News
    By Arley Steinhour 080411

    I Walk by a house with a window lighted up
    Looking pretty as a Christmas Tree
    And I say to myself, as I walk by myself,
    Everybody has a home but me.

    I walk by a house, with the moon upon the porch
    and a girl, upon her fellow's knee
    and I say to myself, as I walk by myself,
    Everybody has a home but me. )^8

    I am free, and I'm happy to be free,
    To be free, is the way I want to be;

    But, once in a while, when I'm feeling kind of low
    and there's no one there to disagree
    I say to myself, as I walk by myself,
    Won't there ever be a home for me; Somewhere?
    Won't there ever be a home for me?

    Then (my part)

    I walked by a Church, with sweet music flowing out,
    Doors wide open, even I could see,
    Happy people deep inside, their arms all opened wide,
    and my heart felt they did beckon me.

    Like a beggar I crept in, didn't want to cause a din,
    My heart was filled with lonely pain;
    Worship filled my lonely ear, heartfelt joy did stir within,
    As if washed with summers soothing rain.

    The whole Church group noticed me
    Take position, on bended knee

    Should I need a smile, when I'm felling kind of low
    and there's no one there to disagree,
    Down on my knees, yes, on my knees,
    There will always be a Home for me, Right-There
    Yes, on my knees there is a Home, for me!

    So With Your arms opened wide,
    Present Jesus from deep inside,
    Offer unto others, HIS Salvation, Free,
    By His Grace, we grow His Family Tree.

    AMEN

    Night Flight What a Sight
    By Arley Steinhour 080611

    Gary Stearman's August article
    In Prophecy in the News
    Caused me a mental debacle
    That could cause National Blues

    Barney and Betty, name of Hill
    September, Nineteen Sixty One
    Took a drive up to Quebec City
    For some Vacation Fun

    Returning home through New Hampshire
    Enjoying crispness of the night
    Saw an unidentified object fly by
    Filling up their hearts with fright

    Arriving home, they had lost some time,
    Without memory of the drive,
    Thinking they both felt just fine
    They forgot till later in their lives

    The story made the papers
    Most made them look like fools
    No one believed in abduction capers
    So their story broke all the rules.

    Today, I'm reading Gary's article
    Which included the Hill event
    When the light went on in Echo Chamber
    With 'What-If' thoughts to vent.

    Yesterday, the President did celebrate
    His Birthday, number Fifty
    I remember that the Hill event
    Was about that old, so nifty.

    Sure enough, the year Hill's were abducted
    Was born Berry Obama, father's name
    We can't prove where the Hills were conducted
    Nor prove from where Obama came.

    Barney was a Black man
    Betty's heritage was White
    Just like the folks of Baby Obama
    Perhaps the Prez was born in flight?

    Ah, yes, the secret is not out
    Obama is not an Alien genetic clone
    Good thing my thoughts don't have no clout
    Or I'd disappear, and never be seen alone.

    The lighter side of imagination
    Is the jokes it play's on the mind
    At least I didn't have him born
    South of a North bound horses' 'Left Behind.'

    I don't know where Prez came from
    Nor where the Hill family went
    Not sure I should have shared this
    So, I leave it as my Political Vent.

    The Alien's Earthly visitation
    Coming up real soon
    Is more than likely Anti-Christian
    And as Cheesy as a 'Blue' Moon.

    I just received this poem, from a Christian sister, and received permission from her to share. You won't know any of the cited folk, until in Heaven we're all standing there. So, look for the love, and feel the mood, Revel in Jesus, and enjoy this Spiritual Food. Hope you like it.


    Our Family Tree
    By Rita Broden

    One of you out there
    Once challenged me!
    A race you had challenged -
    To our Family Tree

    A poem had been started
    That day in my mind
    I'm ready to share it now -
    If you don't mind

    I sat and imagined
    How Heaven would be
    Living with Jesus
    For e-ter-ni-ty

    Singing His praises
    Never to end
    Walking beside Him
    Our 'bestest' of friends

    Staring in wonder
    I then glanced around
    And just what do you think
    That it was that I found?

    There you all were!
    No! We'd not met on earth
    But because we knew Jesus
    And because of new birth

    We'd all become family
    Through our Lord's sacrifice
    All for us did He do this
    For us HE paid the price

    And the funny thing is
    That I knew each of you!
    And it was through your poetry
    This knowledge grew

    Wendell was there
    With psalms pouring forth!
    They echoed eternally
    West, East, South, and North

    Cindy was sitting
    With children around
    They were laughing and singing
    Praises sooooo did abound

    At first Porter sought out
    A Harley to ride
    But found greater thrill still
    Walking by Jesus' side

    And there was Doreen!
    No more struggling with pain!
    Set free from disease
    She now danced and now sang!

    Joy and Helene
    Walked tall and were strong!
    And Gerry'd recovered
    From a road tough and long

    Then I saw Tom
    Leading thousands in praise
    His family beside him
    Their hands all upraised

    Because Arley found humor
    In most everything
    He was appointed Court Jester
    For our Savior and King!
    (Said in love, Arley! Said in love!)

    As I looked further
    I saw - NO SURPRISE -
    There was Marie
    With her new pair of eyes!

    And Chris, there you were!
    Snatched from satan's dark lair!
    God's Light shined through darkness!
    His great love brought you there!

    Then I saw Eve, Phillip,
    Gene, Roy, - Ricky too!
    Odeniyi! There you are!
    It's so good to meet you!

    What a joyous reunion
    We'll all have someday!
    And, until we meet there,
    In my prayers you'll all stay

    And the race I was challenged to?
    Well, it all stands to rhyme!
    We all got to the finish line
    At the same time!

    Warning and Promise
    By Arley Steinhour 081311

    The first thing that I uttered,
    On this day our God has made,
    Cristal clear not muttered,
    'How much more of this hand must be played?'

    With People hating People,
    Strife heaping onto strife,
    Unborn, without thought, aborted,
    Few allowed new human life.

    Adultery, theft, and fornication,
    Social standards allowed by all,
    Abomination, the accepted station,
    Cup-filled, sets up man to fall.

    The Path to life has a bright light,
    bearing down on one and all,
    At His arrival, most will fight,
    Some, marked by God, stand tall.

    Tribulation hammers, now upon our door,
    Pestilence and War abounds worldwide,
    Earth quakes and shakes shore to shore,
    Most people in panic attempt to hide.

    Our leaders all do lie to us,
    "The problem we can repair,"
    Many happily climb upon that bus,
    Those in Christ cry in despair.

    Satan truly thinks he's winning,
    With immoral Law's being passed,
    Abominations and open sinning,
    We, in Christ, know that won't last.

    Christians now still do 'restraining,'
    With Holy Spirit, hold the line, our part;
    Soon, Snatched up for a wedding,
    Before God stand, never to depart.

    This wisdom offered, would pages fill
    Story in God's Bible Coffer
    "Turn to Jesus, if you will,"
    No One has a better OFFER.

    AMEN

    Closing of Grace
    By Arley Steinhour 081711

    The silence in the atmosphere
    So loud that we can barely hear
    But for that silence we can't hear
    We'd raise our voice with joyous cheer.

    There's something working silently
    Inside the building or behind the tree
    Silent stealth, something we can't see
    Only know by Faith, what now must be.

    We know you're allowing what is ongoing
    As you shape the End, to Will and Knowing
    From Satan, keep Your intent from showing
    The hounds of Hell, have no wind for blowing.

    Soon, the Trumpet sounds your alert
    Your Call to Come Up, away from hurt
    In twinkle of an eye, without even a shirt
    Tribulation upheaval your Christians do skirt.

    They left behind endure much pain
    Tribulation, that falls like Noah's rain
    Earth's quaking, like the wrecking train
    Follows Time of Grace, none can complain.

    If only mankind could/would repent
    Then you'd spread out you Royal Tent
    Never more, Sin able to pay Satan's rent
    Satan locked far away, never more to Vent.

    Many, you have saved through Grace
    No fee nor act needed to win the Race
    You paid the price, so we can lift our face
    Live eternally in Your Holy Temple's Space.

    I had shut it down, to go to bed, when Jesus put this in my head.
    I thought to let the moment go by, but if I had, I would surly cry.
    Join me in a Praise, but if late at night, let the roof not raise.
    God can hear the heart beat still, always has, always will.

    Night Call Last Call
    By Arley Steinhour 081911

    As we speed, like a rushing train
    Toward a bridge without a name
    We plow right through the falling rain
    As if asleep or without a brain.

    Events of this, God's End of Time
    Travail and cause much pain
    Thinking everything is fine
    Fire hot Ice is still just rain.

    Deluded to our dumbest level
    Charging through the time at hand
    Change not our course the slightest bevel
    The scenery around is just too grand.

    We're told by those, in authority
    We bite a hook without bait
    Still living in the land of free
    Realize our error too late.

    The country that we thought we owned
    Follows our elected down the drain
    Waking up, we've stretched and groaned
    And took a pill for the mortal Pain.

    Too late, I fear, No Return is here
    We lived our lives too fast
    Only God can fill our heart with cheer
    When He Raptures the Bride at last.

    He's closing down Salvation through Grace
    Preparing to return and rule
    Those who waited too long have reddened face
    Accept the Roll of Fool.

    Minutes left upon His clock of fame
    We have repentant moment still
    To upward life our arms, and claim
    Free reward that pays the 'Bill.'
    AMEN
