HE IS SO VERY REAL by Gene Minix What man or woman has seen the wind As it runs down from the hills? But what man or woman would be so foolish As to say the wind is not real? I have never seen the Holy Spirit With physical eyes, yet, I know He is real. For I feel the effects of His presence Like the wind as it runs down from the hills. I feel the satisfying sweet comfort That only the Holy Spirit can give. I've never seen Him with physical eyes But, oh, my heart knows He is so very real. Copyright 2000, 2001 by Gene Minix.

OH, SING OF SWEET BEULAH LAND by Gene Minix Thank God we are going one day To a home so bright and fair Where we'll walk on streets of gold And no death or sorrow can enter there. Oh, day of rest and gladness Oh, day of joy and light. In that place we call New Jerusalem Where never will be any night. Oh, sing of Sweet Beulah Land So beautiful and clear! The very sound of Heaven Is sweet music to my ears. One day we will reach The shores of that land. We'll walk by the River of Life And see the nail scared hands Of Jesus, our wonderful Saviour, The One who set us free. We'll smell the sweet perfume of Glory Land And forever happy we will be. Oh, sing of Sweet Beulah Land So beautiful and clear. The very sound of Heaven Is sweet music to our ears. Copyright 2001, by Gene Minix. All rights reserved.

HE PROVED HIS LOVE by Gene Minix How great is the love of Jesus? Oh, listen, please listen, my friend! The love of our precious Saviour Is so great, it has no end! It is taller than the mountains are high! Deeper, much deeper, than the sea! His love is greater than that of any man! He proved it all that day on Calvary! Yes, He left the splendor of Heaven, All time knowing His destiny. He did it to save the world from sin, Yes, He proved His love for you and me! Copyright 2002, by Gene Minix. All rights reserved.

A BRAND NEW DAY by Gene Minix Today we start a brand new day Just as if we were born anew. Yesterday is gone, its no longer here And about it, nothing we can do. Yes, we can't change yesterday, What was or wasn't done hs been done. Now the night has slipped away And there's a brand new sun. The mistakes that were made, Let us try to learn from them. And let us try a little harder To seek and follow after Him. Let us pray to the Lord As we start out on this day That all will be acceptable In our actions and words we say. Let us put away the past And do all that we can do To touch a life in some positive way, Maybe take away a tear or two. And if we have wasted yesterday, Let us strive not to waste today. Help us to do those things, Lord, You'd have us do and say. Copyright 2002 by Gene Minix. All rights reserved.

GOD'S GOT IT ALL UNDER CONTROL by Gene Minix I don't understand a lot of things And why they happen like they do. And I can't comprehend, so many times, This old world we're passing through. But one thing I do know, And I'm sure as sure can be. God's got it all under control And that's all that matters to me. Copyright 2002, by Gene Minix. All rights reserved.

LITTLE CHURCH ON THE HILLSIDE by Gene Minix There's a little church on the hillside Overlooking the town. Its small and nothing fancy, Its boards are weathered and brown. It doesn't have stained glass windows Or a steeple reaching tall. And it doesn't have costly art To adorn its darken pine walls. It has no fancy organ to play The hymns of renown. But when the voices lift to the sky You can sure feel the power of God come down. The people are so friendly And concerned about your every care. And the sweet, sweet Holy Spirit Tells you God is really there! Copyright 2002, by Gene Minix. All rights reserved.

Thoughts from the                     BAR-M RANCH........                             Dr. Gene Minix ____________________________________________________________ SPRING RAINS AND MEMORIES by Gene Minix The spring rains came last night. In my bed I listened to the sound. A soft and gentle pounding melody As the cool drops came down. And in my sleep I happily dreamed Of childhood days long ago When just a little lad I loved the spring rains so. For I knew when morning came The puddles would be on lawn and street. A wonderful paradise for real To a little boy with bare feet. © Copyright 2002, by Gene Minix. All rights reserved. SELFISH by Gene Minix Have you by chance noticed how many Spoiled people there are today! They whine and whine and they whine Unless they get their way! They always blame someone else, They never do any wrong. They are so very selfish, Give me, give me is their only song. There is no joy in them, It's so easy to see. If they could only learn to give a little, How much happier they would be. Let us say a prayer for them today And let us strive to be A good example of unselfishness For all of them to see. And maybe, just maybe, We'll see some people change today. And then live their life In a much different way. And if they do, I have to believe There will be a smile on their face. One thing I sure know, The world will be a better place. © Copyright 2002, by Gene Minix. All rights reserved. BIGGER THAN ANY STORM by Gene Minix He is always there when you need Him.
