  • 6. Celestial Jerusalem NPM #6

    Celestial Jerusalem

    Seven Stars
    Seven Spirits
    Seven bowls with seven plagues

    Twelve jeweled foundations
    Twelve Apostles
    Twelve Pearly Gates

    Flowing east a river
    clean and clear like a crystal
    bearing life to our souls and a sea once thought barren

    no death, no tears, no fear and no sorrow
    no sun and no moon
    the lambs light we will follow

    Cast off your baggage
    pure hearts will come in
    The Celestial City
    God’s Grace You will Win

    I'm not doing very well writing a poem a day for the National Poetry month, when it came to Celestial Jerusalem, ashamedly ( as I told DanishDoll), I had to google  to get a true understanding, to my dismay the information that came up was from Revelations. I've not read very much in Revelations for the same reason I don’t watch scary movies…anyway I got over my scaredy self and started reading…I want to live in the New Jerusalem…and Revelations ain't that scary (yet =)  I may even watch Cape Fear or something Hitchcock...or maybe not.

    In other news:

    Braylon is doing very well! He and our Granddaughter Jacklyn went to Ft. Benning, Georgia for our Grandson Reeces Turning Blue Ceremony.

    Barry and I plan to go to the Graduation Ceremony in the morning, after graduation the kids will come home for 10 days, they'll pack their belongings and head to Ft. Carson, Colorado.  We are So Proud of them!

    Nash is proving to be a Great Big Brother, Nova Rae makes that easy.

    Our Granddaughter Mara has one week of finals left...then she'll be finished with her freshman year at West Georgia,  she's done very well, she's a a science major...We're really proud of her too!

    that's her in the middle of her sorority sisters, I think their Tri-Deltas, they do good work for St. Judes Childrens Foundation

    Our roof still isn't finished, but it's a lot closer than it was...I think they'll be done in a another 3 days...or so =/

    and so it begins

    that is if the rain will hold off for awhile...

  • You did a great job on the poem! Revelation used to frighten me when I was younger. Now it just seems... kind of weird. *waiting for the lightning bolt to hit*

  • What is turning blue ceremony?

    • The Infantry Blue Cord is a United States Army decoration worn over the right shoulder of all qualified U.S. Army infantrymen. In the turning Blue ceremony the Blue Cord is presented to all qualified infantrymen in the U.S. Army at the end of their initial entry training. It's presented the day before graduation!

  • I love your poem! Celestial Jerusalem sounds like such a beautiful wonderful perfect place! Thank you for writing about it! :-)

    Love to all your beautiful amazing family members! I'm still praying for Braylon, and all the little ones you love! :-)

    Congrats to Reece! (I'm sure they will love CO!)
    Congrats to Mara! :-)

    Love and HUGS and Happy Easter to all of your family!!! :-)

  • I enjoyed your poem and a difficult Biblical place and event---and your personal narrative about you feelings about it. Very nice family----you are richly blessed.

    We need rain badly out here--so much Ocean and sos little water to use.

  • Nice poem, love the flow and it is very uplifting.

  • you did well and I like all the photos,too

  • the church on the post I did isn't my church but an Anglican so it's a lot like the catholic church

  • I read revelations several times. It is really a complex bit of scripture to grasp.
    Have a great weekend!

  • Beautiful poem. Great news about your grandson Braylon and the others. Have fun at the graduation.

  • Wow! A great poem on this prompt!! I'm tickled pink with a sky blue border! It is good to learn new things so this is a double win!!

  • Oh and the rest of the post is all good news!! Congratulations all around!

  • You are facing a lot of transition, Marsha. I'm glad the dogs didn't get swept away by the rain.

  • Revelation 1:3 says, "Blessed (Happy) is he that readeth, and heareth the words of this prophecy ... :) Enjoy!

  • I am glad Braylon continues to do well. Lovely family photos. Congrats to Reece for turning blue (not like a smurf. Hehe) and to Mara as well. My son also is completing his freshman year at college and I am proud of him for maintaining all As, holding down a job,and continuing to be active with the church all while engaged to his HS gf too. So many youth choose other paths of laze and partying.

  • Lots of good stuff here!

    Wishing you a blessed Easter as well. :)

  • Your poem is wonderful and it makes us shiver with its biblical strenght. It is quite suitable for Easter . By the way I hope you got a nice Easter
    Compliment for all of your youngs who all are doing so well . You can be proud, Marsha.
    I rejoice with you.
    Love
    Michel

  • You have a beautiful family!

  • You have a beautiful family! Glad to hear Braylon is doing well.

  • Wow, Marsha, you have a lot of great things to comment upon here! Congrats to your grandson's achievement! I really enjoyed the newsy post... you have a lovely family! How many children & grandchildren have you? The ones I have seen are beautiful (boys included)! You are blessed!
    I really appreciate your poem, & the research that you did in order to make it happen. I've read & studied the book a number of times, but it isn't in my top ten favorites of the books of the Bible. I like you too am not a fan of scary movies!

  • Thank you for this amazing post, I am glad I discovered
    this web site on yahoo.

  • I was reading some of your content on this website and I think this internet site is actually educational!
    Keep on posting.

  • For starters, do not make an application for a bunch of fresh credit right before you attempt to get borrowed.

  • Only at National Auto Loan, we have collected many of the conditions and meanings
    you could run into funding that vehicle and when purchasing a
    car.

  • Planet may charge costs and high-interest rates on loans under $1000roughly,
    so it generally doesn't include insurance on these loans.

  • Searching for cost effective home mortgage rates in Utah and Clark Area, Nevada just obtained much easier with America First.

  • The lender will evaluate paperwork and the software you supplied
    and manage a credit check.
