John the Beloved

by Randy Conway

I am confused

My emotions surging

My emotions battling,

Battling for prominent position.

 

I stand alone,

I am surrounded.

I am stone,

I am liquid.

 

Anger rises

A rage builds.

Angry at the soldiers,

Angry at the Religious leaders,

Angry at Jesus,

Angry at God.

 

I never thought it would come to this

To die on a cross betrayed by a kiss.

For three years I walked with You

Your power could have stopped this

If You had wanted to.

 

Hatred comes;

Hating Judas,

Hating the crowd,

Hating the ones who did this,

Hating life.

 

These are not men they are beasts.

Is this the rising of the religious yeast?

How is it these men knew You,

These men heard You,

These men saw You,

These men killed You?

 

Fear continues to creep;

I’m afraid to stay,

I’m afraid to leave,

I’m afraid of the crowd,

I’m afraid of tomorrow.

 

 

 

I meditate upon Your words

In You we will have peace.

This is what I heard.

So hard to understand the things You taught

Standing looking at the cross.

 

Grief overwhelms;

Grieving for loss,

Grieving for the mother,

Grieving with nature,

Grieving with the Father.

 

Sorrow, such sorrow I cannot control

A wave of tears I cannot hold.

My body shakes with convulsion,

The earth shakes with eruption.

The shadow of the cross covers my face,

The shadow of God darkens this place.

 

Joy? Will it ever return?

Can grief turn to joy?

Joy in promises?

Joy in hope?

 

I remember,

“Now is your time of grief,

But I will see you again

And you will rejoice,

And no one will take away your joy” (Jn 16:22)

 

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Hunter Tylo.

Many of you will recognize her as the actress who stared in such daytime dramas as All My Children and The Bold and the Beautiful. PEOPLE Magazine twice named her one of the world’s 50 most beautiful people. She was also successful in suing Aaron Spelling over his firing her from Melrose Place for not aborting her child, a case which is widely recognized in supporting a Mother’s rights.

Hunter is coming onto TUC YouTube LIVE this Thursday at 4pm EST to discuss her experiences in Hollywood and why she left, choosing rather to pursue YASHA’UA and the Torah. As a member of our community, she has also opened up a channel at our TUC Discord to discuss a number of pressing issues, like narcissistic abuse.

Here is your TUC Discord invite link. https://discord.gg/zFPnExWT

Be sure to introduce yourself and then head right on over to her room, “Getting Real with Hunter”.

We hope our partnership with Tylo will be an ongoing one.
