Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Outside the Windy City

Outside the Windy City lives the Lady Finnegan - Carol dearly loves the Lord Jehovah and is a part of His earthly plan. Her heart has been pierced by God's Holy Spirit; for she placed her life before Him and has chosen to submit. Her adoration for the King has burst forth with heart's joy, from reading her great nephew's literature within the borders of Illinois. Now she's become God's messenger via her gifts of Joe's Christian poetry - For the fragrance of God's Love envelopes her with scrip… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Game Theory

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge. Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its challenge wa… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Spiritual Irony

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter). If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History Channel". It's am… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd An interview with author J. J. Breunig 3rd

1. What caused you to write a book and have it published? Thankfully, I’ve enjoyed a career in IT (Information technology) for over 25+ years. However, I’ve been downsized out of a job four times – the last time in 2005, I was unemployed for nine months. During that time, I looked at over 19,000+ companies to find one job. With more jobs in my field being outsourced to lower wage earners overseas, I decided I needed an exit strategy from the corporate world to launch a more stable career and inc… Continue

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share the background and poem "In Remembrance of Grandma". I recognize that most of you reading this article will not know much about my maternal Grandmother, other than what you're able to glean from this page. However, there are universal lessons that need to be shared. This poem was originally written for… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Dust (Humor)

Those disembodied remnants, Earthly remains of unknown souls, are now assembled at my doorstep. Having piqued my attention, who are these unwelcome houseguests? Loved ones or Nordic heroes who were consumed in funeral pyres? How old are these molecules that have been forever scattered during these past centuries? Unwanted leftovers of human containers, eaten by microscopic mites, nibble at my presence and wait for my spirit to dry up. The dust calls for my fated demise; However, my particles won… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Enjoy This Season

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share a blurb regarding my poem "Enjoy This Season". Lots of people like to surmise about the idea of living in a different period of recorded humanity, such as: Italy's Renaissance (circa 1400-1600 ad), the building of the Greek or Roman Empires, the time of Christ and so forth. However, not me. Being an I.… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Human Matrix

Forcing an alignment of corporate resources for some theory of best fit correlation doesn't work on Kingdom People when using an unspoken method of tabulation. If Life is about true spiritual growth, then why do ministries attempt to pigeon-hole not making any allowances for us to develop, expand and break our current mold? Despite multitudes of outcome possibilities the Church seems to suffer bouts of paralysis from the continued mashing of talents and gifts resulting from unexplained Presbyt… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Enoch

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I speak to a poem that ends in a direction, not initially considered... I've attended Church services for more than 3.5 decades; as a youth, I was raised in a Baptist Church (in southern Maine). For those unfamiliar with this division of Christianity, there's nothing more important than studying "The Word of G… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Evening Sky

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. One never knows exactly when the Spirit of God will move on your soul; fortunately I was paying a little bit of attention, one cold winter night... I've been a member of the IT (Information Technology) community since June of 1981, a profession that constantly tries to turn you into a slave from an employee. Rarely did I ever brin… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Eternal Wellspring

Wellspring of spiritual water, It's bubbling inside me. Gently soothes my bruised soul - Covering Life's pain of mystery. Unseen surging river, Courses through body mortal - Renewing my energy, Forced through this open portal. Full to overflowing, Come stand next to me, Let the excess splash on you - To prime your own jubilee. This internal source, Never shall run dry; For Hope springs eternal, Keeping this flood in full supply. From the book: Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory The ISBN… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Experiencing God

Experiencing God directly, is the way to go – Be submerged in His Spirit, under His heavenly flow. The lighted path to absolute freedom and peace is accomplished from following Jehovah’s method of release. The keys to Life’s issues are written in The Word; open up your soul so the message can be heard. God’s plan for your life will be ultimately revealed, provided to Him you submit and your life you yield. Demonstrate unwavering faith and be His witness and others through you shall see His great… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: No Elaborate Pretense

Please forgive the simplicity of rhyme, for I wish to be clear and take my time. It’s never been “pc” to be Christian in any century, out of step with the World, in what ones does or sees. Having ideals may make me seem pompous, even though I have no desire to impress. I’m attempting to follow a Heavenly Plan, by being a godly steward and serving fellow Man. What I write from the heart, for me is real; although as a guy, I’m not supposed to feel. For some, the Principles of God make no sens… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Enoch

Enoch was a dynamic soul who truly sought God’s heart; as a result of revelation knowledge being imparted unto him, God plucked him from the earth so that he was “no more.” Since Jehovah is no respecter of persons and there is “nothing new under the sun”, then why do we know only of a single individual who was transported to heaven in the same manner without experiencing an earthly demise? How many “other” Enochs were there whose names are unknown? Did Enoch’s life story inspire God to put His W… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: White Flag

Years ago, while still a teenager, a white flag in my heart I waved; for I tendered a total surrender to the Lord on the day I was saved. From Salvation’s message properly explained, my spirit easily recognized absolute Truth; so my desire towards Christ was ignited with acceptance of Him in my childhood’s youth. Learning from others’ mistakes and reading the Word with diligence, in supplication’s prayers I requested Solomon’s gift of godly intelligence. Now with open hands raised high and ou… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Heavenly Invitation

Written down is God's Word; we are encouraged to be heavenly, joint heirs. So examine His Word for Truth's proof, for His wish is that 'we join Him there'. Jehovah first gave of Himself, breathing Life into Man's creation. Now He is waiting patiently... And anticipating a grand celebration. Final merging of the family tree are earthly souls and angelic beings; hear the chorus of praise resound from all of us eternally singing. Among a nationality of rainbow races, our palms are raised high -… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Sunday Soldier

At the end of yet another week, weary soldiers are huddled behind church doors, reminiscing about the recent past with outlook bleak - Not knowing that Life can offer so much more. Military plans for Earth's invasion are held by the Kingdom priests, trying to comprehend the message of scriptural persuasion for bringing captive lives to Godly release. Between berating and war counsel cries, there are mixed signals being presented. Separating truth from unintentional lies is a real challenge to… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Lasting Hope (sequel to New Age Spirituality)

Satan is a defeated foe although he continues to fight - For we are more than conquerors, as soldiers in God's army of Light. His earthly authority has been weakened since Christ now possesses the keys of Death and Hell; so we're to prayerfully "stand in the gap" as we in His Presence strive to dwell. Our lasting Hope is embodied by Christ alone; He died to prove His Love as a friend. Willingly and sacrificially He laid down His Life and invited us to a Kingdom that never ends. Our standing i… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Morning Star

Lord, You are the only Morning Star. Nothing else compares to your brilliance, a penetrating light that pierces... ...the darkness of our hearts ...the blackness of our sins ...the abyss of our human emotion Being the source of Dunamis power, You shine an eternal beam of radiance. For unlike other stars, You'll never burn out. Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/ Continue
