Tacoma, Washington 

When I was a young man, I was beckoned to by a Light in a tree, and consumed by a glorious feeling of respectful love. Later, at times while having Christian Communion, I had that same feeling. One day I flipped my atlas open upside down to James and Hudson Bay, and that same feeling consumed me. The Atlas then flopped open to the map of Africa. I immediately saw it meant Christ's gift of Holy Christian Communion. When I thought about my dad's heritage, I made the analogy of the Holy Spirit coming to the 'Isle of Man'. 

God's Plan 

Its mouth is closed for you to see,
Christ's Communion is the scene.
The bread's his foot you walk in life,
Toward Mt. Sinai is God's scheme.

The Red Sea as your blood force split-
Where God gave Moses his Commands.
Obey those Ten they're meant for you,
Walk with Christ to the Holy Land.

God's Holy Land signs Paradise,
With life rooted in God's plan.
Don't disobey and journey left,
The Devil's Crete will claim your hand.

Christ said his meat was to obey
The will of God our Father.
Communion meat becomes your fete,
With Christ's footsteps as your tether. 

A Peek at God's Signs 

Christ cried and reigns for God and man,
To give Communion for our day.
A look at Africa will reveal
God formed his head and bread, the way.

God's bread's a foot for you to wear -
To church, this message to be told.
His love for you will always be,
The reason for this message bold.

God's Spirit as a dove it came,
When John baptized God's son.
In Ireland's form it is the same.
To Isle of Man, you see it come.

Now you see what God has planned,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Spread this word for all to know,
That Earth confirms the way to go.

So be baptized in God's own water,
And pledge your life to him.
The Ten Commandments he says obey;
And follow Christ, for He's the way.
