Today I will listen for heaven’s melody
When my narrative feels all askew
My heart cries out for a rescue
But what I need more
Is my film to rescore
As Jesus’ song transforms my view

Far beyond past understanding

To God’s great romance
Our worst days still feel like playgrounds

With His luminosity
We must display
Inverse animosity
1/24 Limericks: Open Doors (God’s Back-Up Plan)

The fear of unknown
Or worse, being shown
I’m better off locked in a cage

Our skeptical self-centered sieve

As Christ on the cross
Makes gold from our dross
And trumps all our shame with His Ace

A wife who was faithful and true
A home with honest work to do

Frees us to conquer our Zions

But we know we will come out ahead
When we start to eat locusts instead!

StandardIf we’re to live life that is glorious
We must believe God is now One with us
When power I lose
I’m still free to choose
For I can align with His plan for us
1/14 Poem: Pure Mercy
StandardSometime we show Mercy from Fear
Because our own judgement is near
Sometimes we show Mercy from Pride
To boast we have nothing to hide
To those who receive it’s the same
As long as they stay in the game
