This blog is about having a heartfelt conversation with my powers at be & celebrating this temporal life of mine in the good & the bad. Real intent is about keeping it real & living authentically; jumping over the moon is about letting go of the bondage of self and opening our experiences to something wholly new. I combined all my blogs into one when I started the #IAmKat series as i share pieces of my book and journey

The Love of God Forgets
The Love of God Forgets
I dreamed I went to heaven
I stood before your throne
Angels singing around me
Your Son welcomes me home
You yourself spoke to me saying a job well done
Father I said, you say a job well done but all I’ve done is sinned
God spoke with such authority that even the angels stopped and listened
Son, He said, I don’t remember that
Do you remember the time I stole from the store, I said
He shook his head and said no
Don’t you remember all the times I lied to my mom and how much I hurt her
God just shook His head no
Don’t you remember the times I cursed, drank, smoke, and did drugs
What about the times I looked at pornography, turned my back on you,
The times that I fought with my wife and the times I did not tithe
God with a smile just shook His head no and said I don’t remember those things
What about the time…..
God holds up His hand and says I don’t remember those things
I do remember the times you would give all you had to help someone in need
I remember your caring heart, how you would go out of your way to brighten ones day
I remember the love you had for me and the way you served
I remember the lives that you led to the Lord
Your faithfulness in church, and how you allowed others to see me in you
But Lord how can you remember these things and not of those I mentioned
I remember my Son dying on the cross as a living sacrifice for your sins
I remember you giving your life to Him
My Son paid for all and your debt was cleared
Tears filled my eyes as I awoke
How many people do I hold their debts against them
Each day I wake up I need to forgive the debts and remember they were paid in FULL
“As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”
Psalms 103:12

The Lord Turned, and Looked Upon Peter
The Lord Turned, and Looked Upon Peter
Luke 22:60-62
The Lord said to Peter, before the cock crews on the third day thou wilt deny me
Not I said Peter I would never deny you
But yet everyday 24/7 Peter denies Jesus
He denies Jesus when we cheat, steal, and lie
When he sleeps with another guy
He denies Jesus when it’s the prostitute he lusts for
Or its porn he adores
He denies Jesus when he kills
Or when he chooses not to do God’s will
He denies Jesus when he drinks, smokes, and uses drugs
Or when he hangs out with murders, whoremongers, and thugs
He denies Jesus with gossip and slander
Or when he covets the stuff of his neighbor
He denies Jesus when he gambles and parties
He denies Jesus when he forgets the Sabbath
Or when he doesn’t read his bible and pray
He denies Jesus when he refuses to help those in need
Like the homeless he does not feed
He denies Jesus with his heart
He denies Jesus in our talk
He denies Jesus when he refuses to witness or go to church
Or when he doesn’t support the church and his Pastor
He denies Jesus when he doesn’t pay his tithe
When he refuse to accept Jesus as our Savior
We are Peter
We promise not to deny the Lord but we do it any way
Will you choose to continue to be a Peter
And deny the one who died for you
The Lord said to Peter, before the cock crews on the third day thou wilt deny me
Not I said Peter I would never deny you
But yet everyday 24/7 Peter denies Jesus
He denies Jesus when we cheat, steal, and lie
When he sleeps with another guy
He denies Jesus when it’s the prostitute he lusts for
Or its porn he adores
He denies Jesus when he kills
Or when he chooses not to do God’s will
He denies Jesus when he drinks, smokes, and uses drugs
Or when he hangs out with murders, whoremongers, and thugs
He denies Jesus with gossip and slander
Or when he covets the stuff of his neighbor
He denies Jesus when he gambles and parties
He denies Jesus when he forgets the Sabbath
Or when he doesn’t read his bible and pray
He denies Jesus when he refuses to help those in need
Like the homeless he does not feed
He denies Jesus with his heart
He denies Jesus in our talk
He denies Jesus when he refuses to witness or go to church
Or when he doesn’t support the church and his Pastor
He denies Jesus when he doesn’t pay his tithe
When he refuse to accept Jesus as our Savior
We are Peter
We promise not to deny the Lord but we do it any way
Will you choose to continue to be a Peter
And deny the one who died for you
