My sincerest appologies for the stupid ad to the right. --

155,000 people die everyday, 2 every second.

According to Jesus Christ most people die & go to hell.

"..for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,

and many there be which go in thereat:" -Matthew 7:13

To every thing there is a season, And a time to every purpose under the heaven;

A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;

A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to cast away;

A time to rend, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, And as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; And when we shall see him, There is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; A man of sorrows, And acquainted with grief: And we hid as it were our faces from him; He was despised, And we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, And afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: The chastisement of our peace was upon him; And with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one to his own way; And the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, And he was afflicted, Yet he opened not his mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: And who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And he made his grave with the wicked, And with the rich in his death; Because he had done no violence, Neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; He hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, He shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, And shall be satisfied: By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; For he shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, And he shall divide the spoil with the strong; Because he hath poured out his soul unto death: And he was numbered with the transgressors; And he bare the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

-Isaiah 53:1-12

Dear Readers, Reviewers, Criticisers, &/or Occational Glancers,

It's been four years since I first started writing and posting poetry here on FictionPress. Since then I have posted 141 poems (excluding 'Four Years Gone'), all of which have been in the same, unifying format: 3 stanzas, 4 lines each, w/ the 2nd and 4th line rhyming. From this moment onward I will be experimenting with new poetry styles, not confining myself to any one particular method.

In addition to that I may revise some of my older poems, posting the new version as a 2nd chapter, and possibly some old works of fiction as well. For Your Information, The 'st/nd/rd/th' at the bottom of a work indicates the order of it's completion (not neccesarily the order of publication), and the date (YY/MM/DD) is when it was completed/revised.

Also, I will not be posting in my as-of-late fashion (3 poems every 2 months), but instead (most likely) whenever I desire, perhaps much closer to the date the poem would be completed. Once again I would like to thank all my readers and reviewers (and criticisers and occational glancers) whose thoughts have been encouraging and edifying.

And as a final note, if any of you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ, Saviour, Son of God the Father, I would implore you to seek Him out. Please read the link to the free gift, and if you have any questions about Him or would desire to be saved, feel free to email me, I would gladly like to help.

Sincerely,

-j.

P.S. "I'm gonna live my life for Jesus or die trying!"
