“Something created everything because nothing can’t create anything. Nothing can’t create something. Something has to create something. No one can give a demonstration of nothing creating something. But I can give numerous demonstrations of something creating something. This proves that there had to have been a Creator. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. That lines up perfectly with the concept that something created everything because nothing can’t create anything. Those that say that the universes evolved from nothing can’t give an example of nothing creating something. But those that say that there was a Creator can give numerous examples of something creating something. I could also say it like this. Lets say that both the atheist and the theist were each standing by two separate tables. On each table there was one piece of paper and one pencil. A piece of paper and a pencil for each of them.
Okay, it’s the job for both the atheist and the theist to get a picture of a tree on their piece of paper using their logic of how the universe was created. The atheist would have to stand there until nothing put that picture on that piece of paper. The theist would have to walk over to the table, pick up the pencil, and actually draw the tree on the piece of paper. Now then, who’s logic would get that picture on that piece of paper. Naturally it would be the theist. Because nothing can’t create something. It takes something to create something.”

“Speak to the mountain,
and it will fall.
No matter how wide.
No matter how tall.
Speak to the mountain,
and watch it collapse.
No maybes, no mights,
no doubts like perhaps.
Speak to the mountain.
Cast it to the sea.
Have faith in God's word,
and speak what will be.
Speak to the mountain.
We have what we say.
So speak to the mountain,
and it will obey.”

“(Death and Life)

The time gets closer
all the time.
This life is fleeting
like a chime
you hear outside
on the porch
when the wind
blows out the torch.
It’s handsomely earie,
and gorgeously bizarre
how close we can get
to something so far.
Oh, the lesson to learn
from nighttime flowers.
Such beautiful blossoms
in fields at those hours
near the sunrise
and a new dawn
soon to reveal
that they aren’t gone.
Though darkness exists,
it doesn’t remain,
and all that it hides,
it does so in vain.
The cycles continue
on their routine course,
and the brightness in life
stays true to its Source.
The waters still flow,
and the seasons still pass
and all the memories
we lived to amass.
The torch is still lit
near a sunrise and dawn
in a time yet seen
that will never be gone.”
