One of the hardest things a Christian parent will ever experience is a child choosing not to walk with the Lord. Attached to this personal struggle is the temptation to force or manipulate righteousness on the child. You’ll know if you’re susceptible to these struggles if you are over-worrying, over-caring, or over-trying to get your child to change.

Parenting Day 31: You Cannot Change Your Children

The Sheep, The Shepherd, And The Gate

President Trump has appointed many people in his cabinet that are strongly pro-Israel.  What do you see as pro and cons of his actions in making these appointments?

What Do Trump’s Cabinet Choices Mean for the Future of Israel?

[Verse 1]
I trace the stars through concrete veins,
A mind wired in colours unseen.
Silent prayers drown in the rain—
Spirit whispers where the light’s been.
You say “Float up where the noise can’t climb,”
But gravity’s a chain I designed.

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t the world heavy? (Heavy)
Ain’t the script wrong? (So wrong)
They call my name, but it don’t fit the song.
Spirit says “Breathe—you’ve been here too long.
Step into the sky where you belong.”

[Refrain]
I’m dancing with shadows (But the rhythm’s offbeat)
Counting pills like constellations (Static hum repeats)
Train tracks hum a lullaby… (Steel river underneath)

[Chorus]
Oh, Heaven’s Rhythm, pull me near—
Wrap me in a groove only angels hear.
No explanations, no disguise,
Just a black boy lost in skies.
Heaven’s Rhythm, take my hand,
Write my name in cosmic sand.
This world’s tempo cut too sharp—
Let your melody be my autopsy mark.

[Verse 2]
They say “Hold on,” but my grip’s threadbare,
Archway’s mouth sings “Child, I’m right there.”
Methotrexate sunset in my veins,
Yet Spirit hums through the pain:
“Your mind’s not a crime, it’s a kaleidoscope—
Turn the dial, rewrite the hope.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t the world heavy? (Heavy)
Ain’t the script wrong? (So wrong)
They holster fear where my truth should belong.
Spirit laughs “Why chase bullets or trains?
Your crown’s forged in celestial rain.”

[Refrain]
I’m tracing orbits (Around hospital lights)
Police sirens mock my wingspan (But Spirit says “Take flight”)
Ocean’s throat hums “Swim or fight?”… (Your rhythm drowns the night)

[Chorus]
Oh, Heaven’s Rhythm, pull me near—
Wrap me in a groove only angels hear.
No explanations, no disguise,
Just a black boy lost in skies.
Heaven’s Rhythm, take my hand,
Write my name in cosmic sand.
This world’s tempo cut too sharp—
Let your melody be my autopsy mark.

[Bridge]
The station’s voice says “Jump—it’s time,”
But Spirit grins “Your rhythm’s mine.
Why let Earth dim your Slack soul?
We’ll waltz supernovas, no control.”

[Outro]
I unclench… garage fumes fade.
Spirit’s hands strum my DNA.
Autism’s symphony—crash, rebirth—
Heaven’s Rhythm found my worth.

“Black boy, your spectrum’s the bridge—
Now play your solo midair.”

Heaven’s Rhythm
