The Beast sat there patiently in his cage

Yearning to be acknowledged, Yearning to be free

Every time the Beast got the courage, the courage to seek freedom

 It was the master that would keep the Beast at bay with discouragement and false hope

For the master knew how to control the Beast by given him the armor of the world

The Beast wore the shield of unfaithful. For he had no faith in anything, not even himself.

He then put on the belt of lies. For he believed in his master about the world

Then came the armor of unrighteous with the sword of the world. For the Beast would take the world that would benefit him.

Finally, the Beast would put on the helmet of death and damnation. For the Beast did not care on what would happen to him.

With all of his armor on, he spoke of evil things and prayed for money and power.

For the Beast was a lost treasure that was aching to be found.

Joseph Lyle Wieck

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.   Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

I do not know how many times I choice to do my own well instead of God’s well. I have worn the armor of the world instead of God’s armor. I have let the master of the world put me down to a point where I could not get back up again.  I felt lost and alone in the world.  I was making poor decision that not only hurt me but others.  I surrounded myself with things that were not good in my life. I was becoming apart of a world that I dreaded the most. Every time I was close to freedom, I was pulled back into the world. I wanted to escape the bad relationships, swearing, hating those different from me, having no empathy for anyone, and women things that the master of the world was showing me.

I had to put down the sins that were holding me back.  I had to say no to things that I normally say yes to doing. I had to put faith in God that He will provide for me in such a dark places. I realize that I am his lost treasure and there is no where I can hide where He will not find me.  God never quit on me and keeps bringing things in my life that is good. He would help me get through all my struggles. He keeps giving me reasons to fight off the world and get closer to Him. To this day I am still battling it out and I am not alone. I will always win with the grace of God on my side.

If you feel like the Beast and have no clue what to do. I say this to you, God will not give up on you and things will change if you allow Him to change you first. It is okay to fail, you just keep seeking Him. The world can be hurtful but it does not have to keep you in a place where you do not want to be. You can break the chains in your life and you can defeat the things that are holding you back. You are God’s Treasure and He will always find you.

Love is more than flower and candy

For flowers will wither away and candy will be eaten

For love should be given every day and not one

When the flowers and candy fade away, love will be right behind it

The touch of her soft lips and looks of her beauty will last forever

For she is your sweetness that brings you joy your life

She is the flower that will bloom to make your life beautiful

For she is the gift of love that you should cherish everyday and not just one

Joseph Lyle Wieck

Love Your Peanut

1. Wedding was free and it is the one that she wants

2. The place of our wedding is only going to cost us $750 instead of $5,000

3. The person doing our photos is one of her family friends and is going to give us more for less of a price

4. My Cuz may do the DJ for a low price or nothing at all

 5. My best men are going to rent their own tux

6. The Father of the bride is going to cook the food

7.  Two people want to be the bartender

8.  Flowers may be cheaper do to knowing the people who do them

9. The place my family is staying is only going to cost around $35 dollars a night

10. My little sister is going to do my invitation.

11. My Pastor doing the wedding (he is willing to come to Florida)

Most of this was possible because of her father. Her father knows a lot of people. Some people will say that he has a lot of connections and that is why your wedding is cheaper than most people. I see it as God’s preparation for our marriage.  God put people in her father’s and mother’s life that goes beyond friendship.  God has been planning this for our lives and it is starting to come together. All of this is coming from a man who did not like me at first. It goes to show how God can soften someone’s heart and open them up to bigger things in life.  I want to thank everyone for putting all the effort to make our wedding come true.  This is not bad for a couple with only one income. This goes to show that God can step in and make an impact in anyone lives if you let him. I believe that God will keep working in our lives on this matter and give us the wedding that He wants us to have.

The question now lies on how should you make a difference without becoming lost, frustrated or even alone. The simple answer is you cannot. There are going to be tough times throughout your life.  There are ways you can overcome them when the occur.  Look at the people you surround yourself with and are they dependable.  Are they the type of people that are going to be there throughout your life. You should have at least one person in your life that can be your support beam. 

Then there is doing small deeds for people in your everyday life. The big things are good but are not as common as the small ones. Smalls things are doing simple things like saying “Thank You,” “Please,” to just holding a door for someone. For some odd reason these simple acts have disappeared in our society. People are too in a hurry that they are blinded by the people who need help the most. This is disease is not only in adults but is spreading into our children. Children are becoming ruder with each generation. Parents are not teaching their own children on how to show simple acts of kindness. Instead they are more worried about the next trend. I pray that adults will start doing acts of kindness and that will spread to our children of tomorrow.

Finally do not worry about the results. Sometimes we get so excited that we did good that we get upset that we could not see the results of our work. This is one of my biggest struggles. I have learned throughout the years on how to deal with it.  I find it that is can be easier if we just walk by faith in a sense that we did all we could and now God is going to take in command and lead them somewhere where they were supposed to be.  We have to remember that God is our General and when his troops are trained they will go out and take the world at His well and not ours.

 I now see myself as a trainer in God’s army. I reach people the way God wants me too. I may get down from time to time. I use the few people in my life along with God as my protector and reminder of what I am supposed to be doing. Go out into the world and be a fisher of men or women.

What exactly am I doing when I wait for you

What exactly am I doing when  I hold you tightly

What exactly am I doing when I look into your eyes

What exactly am I doing when I smile at you

What exactly am I doing when I comfort you

What exactly am I doing when I only want to be with you

What exactly am I doing when I only think about you

What exactly am I doing when I pray for you

What exactly am I doing?

Joseph Lyle Wieck

 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

(1 John 4:9-11)

People do a lot of crazy things for love.  Half the time they do not know what they are doing. The main focus is the one they love and they are willing to doing anything to achieve that love.  As a world we need to start cherishing the things we love and treat them better than we do ourselves. It does not matter if you are married or in relationship, or have children. You still need to treat them right. I seen throughout my life that I have not seen this a lot. My hope is love is spread throughout the world in such a way that hate will be no more.



We are the opposite of each other in every way

You go in one direction and I go the other

No matter how hard we try to be the same the further we go apart.

We fight because we do not see the other ones pain

We go deeper in our own despair because we trust what we know and are used too

We use only words but is never followed up  by actions

The end result is only sadness and anger

Out of theses differences there can only be happiness

We will never let each down no matter how hard the trial maybe

It is looking at the differences and using it to grow

For the differences is what makes us complete

We put our faith in each other in every step of our walk. We trust that nothing will ever dampen our relationship

For we are opposite but we are also Whole.

Joseph Wieck

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love cover a multitude of sins.”  (1 Peter 4:8)

Throughout my long-term relationship I have grown closer to her. I have also felt very far away from her due to all the differences we have about each other. We are the opposite of each other in most things. Such things as movies, books, tv shows, God, and many more. It has been hard learning to cope with these changes. We would let our anger get the best of us or say things and not do them. The biggest thing we have learned is dealing with the variety of differences that we have and trying to work them out. One come thing that has kept us both together is the love of Christ and not letting the little things get to each other. We learn to compromise and try to understand where each of us is coming from. In order for us to be whole we have to be opposite of each other. What I may need changing she does very well and is able to help me out. This works both ways but you both have to be willing to work with each other. Trust me we are stilling learning this and both of us are not willing to give up on each other. The moment that happens the relationship will never be succesful.  I pray as you read this that you get a better understanding that it is okay to be the opposite of each and that you all yourself to grow into the differences then what you are used too.

 ⁶I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— ⁷which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! ⁹As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!  ¹⁰Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ

Throughout my life time I have noticed one common trend that most people tend to focus on. The focus tends to lie with themselves. What can I do to better myself and how much things I can buy with the big income that I have or hope to have some day. This is becoming the new gospel in this world. When you put yourself above everything, you then start to take the Word of Christ and make it into your world instead of God. We wonder why the world around tends to crumble more often than not. I know that I have put worldly things above God and I know the results from it. The bigger problem is I still do it. Why would be the biggest question that most people would ask me. My answer is simple. My Gospel overrides Christ’s Gospel. Therefore I can justify things in life and yes that includes what the Bible says (My way of seeing the Bible and not God’s) and please everyone around me.

This leads me into the Gospel of the World. These are things that people tend to follow more than what God has to offer.

1. Gospel of Materials– This world (especially the USA) tends to focus on how much stuff they have to a point where we keep buying even though we really do not need to have it. We have a lot of poor people out there and we spend thousands of dollars on rims for our car to owning our 300th pair of shoes. We keep buying because it consumes us beyond your needs.

2. Gospel of Sex– As a society we have sex more to pleasure ourselves than keeping it a sacred vow for marriage. Then we give excuses to our love one about what is and is not sex so the need is met. The worse part about all of this is people fall for it. Sex is now something we do instead of something that is saved for your wedding day. If you do not believe me look at all the young women having children because they are having sex at a young age. To make a long debate short it is because they see how society see sex (along with many other things).

3. Gospel of Fake–This is people who tend to be something they are not doing. The biggest example is anyone who says they are a Christian but does not attempt/try to be one. I am not judging anyone who claims to be one. But if you saying that you are one and your dealing drugs, sex, or/and violence than are you really trying to make a difference. Do not get me wrong I have met drug users who changed their life around. I am talking to the ones who seem like they have it together but use God as a way to get his needs met instead of God. Fake goes beyond Christianity. Fake comes from those who do not know how to be themselves around other people because they want them to accepted, liked, and/or not get into trouble with another person/group.

4. Gospel of Greed– Money is the number one thing people want in this world. It does not matte how old or young you may be. The more money you have the more materials you have, the more sex you can get,  and the more fake you become. Money drives people so far away from God that they are lost in their world for good. We cannot depend on what God is going to give us because we want it now. My favorite is when you get churches who preach about how they need money for projects when they really do not need it. The fact remains is Greed destroys man in every fashion.

I know there a lot of things out there that people focus on more than God but I just want to mention a few of them that do not get talk about all that much. The good news about all this is God can overcome it all and more. God does this with his Love, Truth, and Patience. God continues to show us his love and patience throughout our lives so we may make that choice to go to him to find a better path of life. We can seek the truth about how we have been living our life and change it for his glory. We can be his servant in His name. 

If you are feeling empty inside, worthless, ashamed, lost, or just do not know what to do with your life because sex, greed, materials, and not being yourself is not working.  Trust me I have felt all of these things throughout my life at one time or another. One thing I have learned was God was always there to pick me up and told me to try it his way. By making that choice I have seen and experience a lot wonderful things. I have never worried about my bills even when I did not have ay money. God has given me the tools and has shown a lot error of my ways with sex and materials.  Ever since I started to seek him my sexual urges went away along with wanting to spend money that I do not have on things I do not need. I thank the Lord for all the things he has done for me. My only question for you. What Gospel are you living by.

1.  To write and share your feelings about God with others by writing it online

2. Pray more for renewal in my relationship with my future wife and my own.

3. Read the Gospel more

From now on you will be see a lot more of writings, poems, and many others things that I have should have done. Thanks for reading this and have a Blessed day

I remember those time we spent together

For in that time we shared all our hopes and dreams

I remember when we held each other tightly

For in that togetherness all our problems and fears melted away

I remember all the smiles and laughter we had together

For that is the foundation of relationship

I remember that there is no distance that can keep us apart

For every mile that we are apart we are drawn closer together

I remember all those times that we prayed for each other

For that is the glue that holes our relationship together

What I remember the most is the amount of love we  have for each other

For that Love conquers all
