Hat tip to the Holy See
If we want to set the world free
We all must learn the “peaceful see”
Hat tip to the Holy See
If we want to set the world free
We all must learn the “peaceful see”
I wanna be a space maker
So I don’t become a heart-breaker
Help me take the time
For reason and rhyme
Lest I end up a Christ-faker
This world can be busy as hell
We all end up slaves to the bell
Unless I dare ask
Whether this task
Is more important than being well
Christ carried His peace in His heart
So maybe that’s where I should start
When my soul is true
I make space for you
Together, a new path we’ll chart
Today I will make space
For God to renew
What I fear to let go
I am riding an old-fashions train.
It is wartime.
I am a spy.
I need a heart break
Like a jail break
So my mistake
Becomes a head fake
Lord, what are you trying to do
When it is me that you woo
I don’t have money or fame
No beauty or charm to my name
We serve a God who seeks
Amidst the milds and meeks
Those of a humble heart
Where grace can have its start
To live a life that’s free of fright
We must believe God sees us right
To know that we’re seen
And yet counted clean
Is what helps us sleep through the night!
Today I will live out
Rather than for
God’s approval
I long to live life well settled
So I can act as fine fettled
But God stirs my pot
So every thought
Is rebrewed as something Christ-kettled
‘Tis true that this world’s full of woe
And it feels like the further we go
In following Christ
We pay a steep price
And oft receive blow upon blow
The question I’m longing to say:
Will joy be my portion today?
But backwards I got
When forming that thought;
“Will joy!” — is my call to obey.
We feel that nothing can go wrong
When we trust that we truly belong
It seems our salvation is sure
When we know it is us they adore
Genesis 6:8 Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
We need a foundation that’s sounder
When taking the role of a founder
The problems are hairy
Competitors scary
And often we find ourselves flounder
Reflections on impending employment
The call to work
We must not shirk
Yet being busy
Can cause a tizzy
Today I will hold fast to the cross
And loosely to all else
We were created
To cultivate
And consume
The Fruit of the Spirit
Enjoying it
Is like being
Back in Eden
To exist as humans
Is to live in the tension
Between the eternal
And the mundane
We cannot lose sight
Of one or the other
So it is needful
That we keep shifting
Our focus
But sometimes
We lose our rhythm
We get stuck Continue reading
There is a story within the story
One story is a fairy tale.
Sort of like Beauty and the Beast.
