Support a Senior in Keeping the Lights On

 

Hello. I'm a bit embarrassed to be asking for help.

But I've been trapped in a situation for a few years now and I'm looking to break free once and for all.

I'm 71 years old. I support myself and 3 other adults on my social security check which is only $1706 a month.

I also do odd jobs to pick up a few bucks here and there.

I'm on various programs which help with food and sometimes utilities.

And there lies my problem.

My electric bill has piled up over the years and while I'm able to make some payments it is never enough to get caught up.

I believe I can pay my electric bill monthly and keep it current if I could eliminate the accumulated charges that are on my account.

Currently I have a turn off notice for the electric that will happen in about 6 days. I have spoken to the electric company and various charities and government programs but everyone seems to be out of funds at this time.

My wife has a medical condition and needs the electric on. We have been able to get a medical waver in the past but we have exhausted the amount of times we can get one.

So I'm desperately looking for help.

Any amount would help. I have no other options. I know there are a lot of worthy causes out there but I hope you would consider me one of them.

I truly believe I can escape this monthly crises if I could eliminate the back debt on my bill.

Thank you for your attention and may God bless you for your generosity.

"You Made A Difference" written and performed by Thomas B

I wrote this song as an encouragement for those who may feel unappreciated.

here are the lyrics:

Choices have been made,

directions have been set.

Hearts have become full,

in those in whom you've met.

Recognition may not come,

to you in this time.

But someday it will be known.

You were a light that shined.

 made a difference in this world.

More than you’re aware.

You've impacted the lives of others,

just by being there.

Even the smallest thing,

can make a better way.

Many thanks shall be given,

for who you are someday.

Thank you for listening.

Please subscribe! I have new music coming!

Holy Holy Holy

 An acoustic guitar version of the classic hymn,

"Holy Holy Holy." with vocals by Thomas B.

Thanks for listening.

Psalm 71-23

 

Memorial

Remembering and giving pause,

for the sacrifice to a cause.

A dream, a promise, an ideal.

A destination far off still.

Honored kinsmen, brothers in arms,

courageous, in the face of harm.

Empty spaces, in our ranks,

We bow our heads, and give thanks.

Colossians 3:8

 Colossians 3:8 

“But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth.”

To Begin Again - (by Tom Balistreri)

The Lord cleanses souls and makes them new.

He replaces false with the true.

Relieves the burden and the pain.

And allows us to begin again.

Out Of My Distress (based on Psalm 118:5-6)

I called on the Lord,

and He did hear.

The Lord is on my side.

I will not fear.

The Lord answered me,

and set me free.

What can man,

do to me?

A Picture Of You - (By Thomas Balistreri)

This is a song I wrote that is fitting for this Good Friday.

It's called "A Picture Of You."

Happy Pascha!

Thank you for listening.

Holes (a demo recording)

 A song by Tom Balistreri.  About holes, being whole and the Holy Being.

Lyrics:

There's a hole in the window.

There's a hole in the floor.

There's a whole lot of folks who aren't whole anymore.

There's a hole in their soul where the pain gets in,

that only the Holy One can fill in.

He's wholly God. He's wholly man.

He's the Holy One know as the great I Am.

He's got a hole in His side.

He's got holes in His hands.

He allowed them there to make us whole again.

There's a whole wide world going into a hole.

There are holes in mans plans of taking more than the whole.

There's a hole in the space were they are trying to take hold.

But there's only one who can make them feel whole.

I Can Use Your Help.

I am asking for some help.

No not your money. Just a simple click.

I need more subscribers on YouTube to open up more options for my videos.

If you click on the link it will take you to my YouTube page. If you subscribe it will help me a lot. Even if you don't like my music you can go to notification bell on he top right of the YouTube page and set it so it won't send you notifications of my uploads.

So it cost you nothing but a couple of minutes and it helps me to reach a minimum goal.

Thanks in advance. And I appreciate your help and consideration.

The Path Through Time - (by Tom Balistreri)

Every day it draws nearer,

with every tick of the clock.

The end of my journey,

in this land that I walk.

With faith and perseverance,

the trails of life I roam.

Until my day is ended,

and God welcomes me home.

Open Me - (by Tom Balistreri)

Open my heart,

open my eyes,

make me aware,

let me realize.

The beauty,

the truth,

glory inferred,

the blessings You've given,

through Your Word.

Come On Home

A song I wrote and recorded a few years ago.

Again, I play all the instruments, do all the vocals.

A song for all the prodigals out there.

Thank you for listening.

Tom

The face of Jesus Christ.
