Things going on @ Greater Refuge Temple must be pure delight,
Brother Jeff Rickey Cheeks says another poem we have to write,
A choir director is doing something very special in that church,
I’ll bet this will definitely not be the last and neither is it the first.
...
I do not believe it will come by osmosis,
Or arrive by a carrier from Fed-X or UPS,
I expect all of the promises from the Lord,
Nothing more and for certain nothing less.
...
Amos 3: 3, 'Can 2 walk together, except they be agreed? '
Main problem in the world today is too much controversy,
With an understanding that no one will ever be perfection,
It sure makes it a lot easier to walk in the same direction.
...
I remember growing up in church and while sitting in the pew,
A sister praised God for the past week while starting out anew,
Someone testified about a car accident that took a man’s wife,
Are you standing on your feet praising God for blessing your life?
...
Made a trip today to an area shopping mall,
And I was simply stunned at the things I saw,
It is not something that I have never before seen,
But on a larger scale people are down right mean.
...
0715 shots ring out at least two are dead,
Most of the college students are still in bed,
Arising from slumber to check their email,
Everything’s normal with nothing new to tell.
...
Captain’s, William Hutchinson, Mike Benke, Louis Mulkey,
Engineer’s, Michael French, Bradford Baity, Mark Kelsey,
Firefighter’s, James Draton, Brandon Thompson, Melvin Champaign,
Common denominator? These are Charleston S.C. Hero’s Names.

Received an email from my brother Jeff Rickey Cheeks,
On information given from Mother Wright just last week,
Because it’s all a secret you might say she dropped a dime,
So we put our heads together and came up with this rhyme.
...
Don’t stop to build a house where you should pitch a tent,
Paying on a negative mortgage instead of positive rent,
The valley that you are in now is one truly heaven sent,
To train you for a much bigger more meaningful event.
...
Can't believe I made it to church at 9: 25,
Little Kamonte was freezing, standing outside,
I could see the frost forming on his face,
Even when early I could just walk in the place.
