I used to be one of those headbangers,
Although I never really banged my head,
I was into some early great rock bands,
Many are now very old or already dead.

The Who, Chicago, Led Zepplin, Santana,
Moody Blues, Creedence, Alan Parsons too,
The Doors and Emerson Lake and Palmer,
Wow, Pink Floyd was so spacey it’s true.

Crosby Stills Nash and Young plus Toto,
Phil Collins, Abba, Lobo, Iron Butterfly,
Electric Light Orchestra, Eagles, Kansas,
Some of those old songs really made me fly.

There was Susie Q and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,
Plus Riders on the Storm and Old and Wise,
Nights in White Satin and Eye in the Sky,
Man, I just really loved all of those guys.

But you see, those days are now behind me,
As Paul wrote, I am no longer that child,
For long ago God’s Spirit took hold of me,
And I have ceased to be so young and wild.

For many years now I have had a mission,
A message of hope better than any old song,
The Lord invites you to His Home in Heaven,
My prayer is that you will also come along.

LIFE CHANGE

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

06-10-2018

It matters not how or where we’re born,
Nor the color of each of our skins,
It matters not if we’re rich or poor,
But how we live once our life begins.

We can choose to live so selfishly,
Ignoring those who may have it rough,
Or we can relieve their suffering,
Haven’t they already endured enough?

When everything else is swept aside,
It really comes down to just one thing,
God will judge us by how much we love,
And by how much joy to others we bring.

But by ourselves this is hard to do,
Because our heart is so evil within,
We need to be born of God’s Spirit,
When we ask the Lord Jesus to come in.

He will give us love and compassion,
Such as we have never known before,
So if you need a change in your life,
It is time for you to open the door.

Current Event: North Korean ICBMs Can Reach Guam!

Posted on March 16, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#CurrentEvents #NorthKorea #Guam

Greetings friends! As you may have already read, for the first time in five years, the government of North Korea has fired a medium-range ICBM over the islands of Japan. In fact, the missile landed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean approximately 1,864 miles to the east of Japan. This provocative move by the government of Kim Jong-un — the first such launch since two similar firings in 2017 — comes shortly after South Korea, Japan and the USA conducted military drills in the Sea of Japan, to the east of North Korea. Apparently, Kim Jong-un couldn’t resist showing a little bravado.

One important point which I have mentioned to my friends before, is the fact that the missile fired on October 4, 2022 had sufficient range to reach Guam. Of course, the fact that North Korean ICBMs can reach us is something we here on Guam have known for a long time. We are in range of North Korean missiles. In fact, Kim Jong-un has threatened us before during the Trump years, and even before that.

To put this in perspective for you, I am including two maps with this blog post which show the flight path of the 10-04-2022 missile launch, and the location of Guam and the other Mariana Islands in the northwest Pacific Ocean. If you cannot see both maps on the social network where this message has been posted, please visit my original blog post on the Bill’s Bible Basics Blog at the following URL:

https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/north-korean-icbms-can-reach-guam/

While this North Korean threat is a reality for the people of the Mariana Islands, it is something which I personally do not worry about. I don’t live in fear of it. I trust God for my life, and leave it in His hands to determine when it is my time to leave this present life. Until then, I will continue to do what I have been doing for the past fifty years: preaching the Word of God. For anyone who may be fearful, I encourage you to study the following KJV Bible Verse Lists:
