This Poet has the method to his madness,
To share my Savior’s joy and gladness…
Enlisting Spirit vim
for those who hear Him,
And eyes would open in gladness.
–
It is to celebrate life,
To announce my love for my wife…
To share God’s gifts
Freely to enlist,
Souls to serve Him for life!
–
At least that’s the crux of the matter,
Engaging in meaningful chatter…
I want to show
God’s love on the go,
Is going for ever after!!!!

(The Book of Genesis 32: 22-32)
–
Jacob renamed Israel,
Strove with the Lord’s Angel…
Up went the sun
Both had won,
As Israel’s hip pain would tell!
–
Wrestled all night with God,
Stubbornly living abroad…
Planted when
They were then,
God’s loving shoulders are broad.
–
The “Liar” became the “Winner”,
In faith so can all sinners…
Truly find cleansing
Relationship mending,
To break out of spiritual winters!
–
A new Creation was he,
The lying was gone you see…
In its place
Active holy grace,
The Angel brought him to his knees.
–
The Bible says he strove with God,
Not a man or a vision odd…
The pre-incarnate Christ
Before His birth night,
Was the Angel of God!
–
God striving with man,
Doesn’t flatten us although He certainly can…
But gives choice
Listening to His voice,
Instead of a absolute demand!
–
God wants love voluntary,
Not robotic or ancillary…
Jacob renamed
By the Most High Name,
Became a friend of God, not adversary.

(Caught from a recent WALK IN THE WORD Radio broadcast series)
A number have said to me,
Your URL can’t be…
It won’t work–
Frustrated and hurt,
How can your blog we see?
–
I don’t think–I copied it wrong–
But hadn’t been used for so long…
Search the blog name—
I did and it came
Up like it belonged!
–
Even I have trouble getting to it,
An end-around works to do it…
Call me a liar
But this method “try her”–
Search THE MARVELOUS MUMFORD and get to it!
(or use the links from reblogs—to or from there!)

The link that works is…

Controlling underwater
One’s breath whether son or daughter…
No bubbles seen
Is a really good thing,
If as a mermaid you’re expected to saunter.
–
It’s not as easy as looks,
According to text books…
Acquiring skill
Diving at will,
Gets envious looks!
–
–J.E.C.
He wishes he hadn’t gone
To see what the computer had on…
His tormentor–
Chief presenter–
Told him, just leave the leeches on!
–
Images on a screen,
Exposure to the obscene…
Big regret
That he let,
Those pictures into daydreams!
–
Exposing more to the eye,
Continues the fading high…
Holding his ground
At least is sound,
But the germ in his brain won’t die.
–
More and more guys struggle,
Seeing will power puddles…
Melt to the core
Without God to shore
Up the man in his muddle.

–J.E.C.
PERMANENT SLAVE CLASS
(An economic opinion)
–
Raising the Minimum wage?
The “Progressive’s” constant rage…
You will not progress
Because of largess,
The Liberals have you caged!
–
Do you want to do this for life?
Letting those in power knife…
Your improvement
Of yourself–that went–
You’re being kept down for their strife!
–
Why is a President proud,
Of increased violent crowds?
While he plays
Golf most days,
Partying often and loud?
–
It’s because he basks in power,
Liberal prospects tower…
Deceive you they will
And send you the bill,
And if you question–glower!
–
I really wish I could side
On the other political divide…
But conservatives too
Want goodies from you,
Watching their vowed principles slide!
–
Opportunities are out there,
Be real–stop beating the air–
Striving break free
Of given slavery,
If you won’t save yourself—who really cares?
–
Lucky to get a full-time, TAKE IT,
Work really hard to make it…
Caught at the bottom
Prospects are rotten,
Your human dignity–RETAKE IT!!!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
(An opinion piece)
STUDENT NURSE–FINE EXAMPLE
–
Cute and efficient Leah,
Sat at a desk–we could see her…
Young spritely body
With service not shoddy,
She’s who we both would definitely prefer!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
VICARIOUS!!!
–
He wanted to find a story
Of another blogger’s glory…
Something enjoyed
Properly employed,
Day dreaming–was his story.
–
He wanted to learn technique,
Visually unique…
Didn’t dare ask
Help with his task,
They might not be pleased to help seek!
–
Women have an angle, I’m told,
That isn’t direct or as bold…
Relationship matters
Not just about the batters
And if they’re young or old.
–
Trying to run the bases
In absentia with different faces…
Men would see
How “good” they’d be,
While women would talk and hold their aces.
–
–Jonathan Caswell.
PRELUDE TO A FALL
–
Been warned specifically,
The danger he ought to see…
Said, “Hey, good-looking”
To Sarah, booking
It out of here yearning to be free!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
“MY” SARAH IS BEAMING!
–
“My” Sarah comes to the end
Of each work day, this friend…
Beams wider each time
In the exit line,
Then hurries out at day’s end.
–
Sometimes she’s no time for me,
Which is as it ought to be…
For colleagues so far
She’s the rising star,
Doing her part happily.
–
Sarah still stops to see
How it is with Security (me)…
It is a thrill
She chooses to dwell
More than a second with me!
–
Sarah is doing well
In her job as best I can tell…
So glad she came–
I remember her name–
She’s my favorite gal (can you tell?).
–
Expect she’ll smile more and more,
And I will as she matures…
I do indeed
Expect she’ll succeed,
I pray for her each time, for sure.
–Jonathan Caswell
