MENTORING
Mentoring is a three-worded word
Mentoring is men-to-ring
There is no mentoring without "Men"
Neither is there mentoring without "To"
Nor will there be mentoring without "Ring"
You need men in your life journey
Men are people who will guide and lead you
People who will inspire you with their experiences
People who have been through what you are passing through
There is no mentoring without "Men"
Where are you heading with these men?
What is your goal being around them?
There must be a focus for this relationship
They are there to take you somewhere better
There is no mentoring without "To"
Like a ring that encircles everything
It must touch all aspects of your life
From the spiritual to the physical
All round inspiration for a balanced life
There is no mentoring without "Ring"
WILDERNESS POEM
An excerpt from the book "The Other Side of Your Journey"
Walking as Jesus walked
Step by step as led
Not with doubt but by faith
Reaching the other side of the journey
Thinking as Jesus thought
Dwelling on the word of God
Meditating day and night
Visioning the great joy ahead
Talking as Jesus talked
Discerning the spirit of men
Exposing the devices of the heart
Declaring the wondrous works of God
Acting as Jesus acted
In a sinful world yet without sin
With a script directed by God's Spirit
Producing the best movie-Jesus film
Crying as Jesus cried
Touched by the infirmity of others
Compassion expressed at its peak
Eternal life given at mercy seat
Tempted as Jesus was
By spirits and mortal beings
All round tried as humanity
Victorious by the Holy Spirit
Struggling as Jesus struggled
The will of God not an easy task
Trusting in God the easy yoke
Going to Heaven in glorious robe
