| Proverbs 8:10-11 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold; 11 For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. |

| "Generation Used to Be" It used to be your friend was really your friend when I was young Mothers taught their daughters and fathers taught their sons It used to be o.k. to walk to school and stop to tell a stranger the directions Now when we vote we are confused and we even question the elections It used to be that sitting down at dinner as a family was valued time together Nowadays days it is a rarity if the original family unit has survived the stormy weather It used to be that our elderly were taken care of and treasured by the family unit Nowadays it is seen at as a burden and the nursing homes and paid help are left to do it It used to be that someone would stay home to raise our treasured future Nowadays better luck getting with an older mate because young is not necessarily pure It used to be that a man took pride in being a man by taking care of his flesh Nowadays he will fool around although married but stay because he’ll pay less It used to be that teachers were held in high respect and their life was a good example Nowadays some are not qualified and when sex is needed they use our kids as samples It used to be that people were kind and nice to their neighbors and we all did get along Nowadays it is hard even for the choir members in a church to agree to sing a song It used to be that when a girl got pregnant while in school, she married or was sent away Nowadays she’ll stay put because of all the lawsuits filed up to this day It used to be that a man was excused for his infidelity as boys will just be boys Nowadays some die like flies trying to stay hard and women still resort to their toys It used to be that you could retire from a job and be able to live a life of peace Nowadays consider it a blessing if you earn a pension before you are deceased It used to be a Christian could get a Christian from the church and not consider what each other was Nowadays it is a gamble because of the down low factor so some may do better at the club One thing remains constant: God is God yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is still He. Yea, I may be considered a “youngin” by some of them, but I am still part of the “Generation Used to Be” Copyright, 2006 by Arene |




| Sharper Than God words is the truth and it is sharper than a two edged sword! I get cut a lot and then He heals me! But my wounds are getting smaller and smaller as I grow! |

Psalm 38:9 All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you. May as well be honest with the Lord because He knows the secret things you do Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Have you met a person yet who is as nice in the end as they were at the start? Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Search the scriptures and learn of Him and you will find this is nothing new Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me. God does not change, try loving Him and you will see Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. A love you can trust with commitment and devotion and you will be the cause if you part Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. How can you resist a God who is so loving, kind, gentle and meek and willing and able to carry your load? Don’t bother to look any farther! November 26, 2006 by Arene |

| “Love the One You Are With-It’s Not Who You Think” I used to go over and over in my mind Why things did not work out this time I then realized where I went wrong Thinking I had control to make a house a home If God has not blessed the union of the two, When troubles arise, there may be nothing you can do It so important to wait for His blessing Or you will learn a valuable lesson Ladies do not think to change a man He will be who he is, please understand Once a man is grown, his character is set Only God can change him, so you get what you get Oh, men I can not leave you out You think that that cutie will make you scream and shout What you will get is someone who is vile and vain Your constant need to check on her will drive you insane Listen to me because you know I speak the truth You might be attracted to Jezebel, better wait for your Ruth O.K. kids, it seems to be your turn once again Don’t want to take the slow boat; therefore, this message goes on the fast train There is always a good example set before you to follow Lessons that are good for you are sometimes hard to swallow Do not blame others when you are grown for your life if it is bad Instead of setting yourself up to be happy you chose to be sad I am not talking as someone who does not know I did not concentrate on where I came from but where I wanted to go I am from East St. Louis Illinois, which is considered the ghetto From a family of 15 children so my socioeconomic class history was quite low I respected my parents who seemed to be on one accord I was not given everything I wanted, but abundant love we could afford There were many who succeeded and gave back to their hood This is where I believe did most of us some good The point I am trying to make may not come out so clear If not in your household, then look for the next thing that is near A teacher, a principal, a preacher, a doctor, a hairdresser, an athlete, a judge, or a lawyer, Hell, if you have to work a job to help out at home, then look at your employer God always provides a chance for us to succeed If we really think about it, He does take care of our needs So this one is for all those who think they can not make it through Think of Jesus, Job, Moses, Ruth, Mary and do not forget about you There is none other or a more precious gift Than to be married to Jesus Christ, so love the one you’re with Copyrihgt, 2006 by Arene |

| "Obedience Is Far Better" Oh how, I wished I had obeyed Gods word from the beginning Listened to His Holy Spirit instead of ignoring it and sinning I am reminded each day of what I do wrong How long will I have to endure this sad song? Love kept from me like I did not deserve it What I bargained for is not what I did get I wish over and over that I had obeyed Gods word Instead, it was my heart that I heard Now the beat of my heart is hurt and pain And the burn of desire almost drives me insane My own beliefs in God are used as a weapon against me My eyes were once blinded by human love, but now they do see My devotion and commitment was not appreciated Lack of love in return, revenge and vindication was not anticipated Oh how, I wished I had obeyed Gods word from the beginning Listened to His Holy Spirit instead of ignoring it and sinning If anyone is listening, please hear what I say Choose God now and serve him today He will give you the desires of your heart But you must seek to serve Him from the very start Study to show yourselves approved Let your testimony not be moved Read the Bible precept upon precept and line upon line If you do not remember this do it one more time God is not like man that He should lie Just obey what He directs and do not ask Him why Let not pain and suffering be part of your life story Let your goal in this life be to end up with God in glory Gods love is a guaranteed treasure that will always last Choose Him instead of man and he will direct your path Oh how I wished I had obeyed Gods word from the beginning Listened to His Holy Spirit instead of ignoring it and sinning Obedience is far better than sacrifice Copyright©, 2006 by Arene |

| This story is for women who think they have to go chasing after a man. If he wants you, he will come get you. Right Boaz! |
"Gutter People" Two people are in the gutter-one says to the other “As soon as I am out of here, I will help you”. The other one says, “I read your plan already and it does not work”! Catch my drift? March 16, 2007 by Arene |

| Please read between, around, up and down the lines of these poems. I would hate for another human being to have to endure what I have endured because of being with someone who did not have it and not have the beginning of wisdom! Psalms 110:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever. Speak not in the ear of a fool, for he really will despise your words! Obedience is far better than sacrifice! Peace, Arene |
| "I Can't Save Myself" |
| “Hallelujah-Hallelujah, I Will Shout ” Before I knew it ,I did it again I began a series of contemplation Instead of ignoring the temptation I gave in to the sin Now, I sit here on bended knees No doubt that God will cover me Because it was He who did discover me It is He I aim to please Next time I will not get caught I will keep my guard held up high As I praise and obey, do not ask why Hallelujah-Hallelujah I will shout!

| "Only Christ" |

“Either You Will or You Will Want" Mark 3:23-29 How can Satan cast out Satan and his kingdom still be able to stand? How can a home become a house without the assistance of a man? How can a kingdom be divided against itself and yet remain strong? How can a man respect another woman when he should be at home? How can another enter his house and destroy what he has built? How can a man neglect his duty and then try to displace his guilt? How can a loving God forgive all the evil deeds that are done? How can He mend two hearts that were once united into one? How can His words be clear and couples act as if they do not hear it? How can anyone be saved after they have grieved His Holy Spirit? Either you will or you will want, Copyright© 2007 by Arene |
| We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone” When men and women have relations out of marriage what is, is not what was If men and women marry because of lust instead of God commissioned love All will find before it is done obedience is far better than sacrifice Only God can ordain a man as a husband and a woman as a wife? Things done in secret places and in the dark will one day be revealed Confess and ask forgiveness and at judgment, Jesus will keep them sealed I speak these words after I check myself and I pluck the boulder out of my own eye What person is capable of un-ringing a bell once it is rung no matter how hard they try? We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone” He who finds a wife finds a good thing and a man is not to wastE his seed Has the Lord already not warned of a whorish woman brings a man to his knees? Honor and direct the weaker vessel and not make her as one who is tattered and torn Keep ever present in mind “Hell has no fury like a woman who has been scorned These days the leaders and head of the home have become selfish lovers of selves Children are misguided and women turn from natural affection which points to hell Christ is consistent from beginning to end and his arms are opened as he waits We are the ones who move from Him, but will we return before it is too late? We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone” How can the things already done be corrected, changed or taken away? Christ can cover them with His blood and we can start over from today We have to listen to the Holy Spirit because my God cannot and has never lied If the Holy Spirit can not be heard, it has been grieved, or the person has never tried Keep Gods word in your mind, on your lips and most of all in your hearts This is how to stay ahead of temptations and prevent the sin before it starts No matter how small or how large it may be, the wages of sin is death Remember when sin is done by the believer, we crucify Christ afresh We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone” Copyright© 2007, by Arene |

| This one was written once I came to the realization that the man I was married to was not the God fearing man he pretended to be. The things he did behind closed doors was revealed to me once I reconnected with the merciful loving God who did not forsake me! |
| A Woman of God or A Girl of the World-which one are you? |
| If you are not in prison, you kind of got some choices if you want to allow someone to treat you bad or not. As a man thinks, so is he. Ever thought you are the negative magnet drawing those negative people in your life?" You got choices! " When are you going to decide to be happy? Accept responsibility for how you allow someone to treat you. My ex did nothing to me that I did not allow- when I woke up from my slumber, I made a decision and got out of that horrible one sided relationship. I hear men and women alike say 'they do this and they do that' (this is speaking of a negative deal breakers of the significant other. I do not see any bars holding them inside of the co-dependent prison. Truly loving someone is giving them the freedom to love you or not. Truly loving yourself is choosing to be with someone who uses that freedom to love you. Now that is love. P.S. I f you cannot find a good reason to love yourself , why should any one else love you?
