Hat Tip to The Lego Movie
Though this world feels like it’s broke
That’s not a reason to choke
God has a plan
For woman and man
To reveal His great master-stroke!

God has a plan
For woman and man

Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
John 19:34
Lord I wanna have “hole heart”
So I am living a new start
When from me sin pours
I’m free to be yours
Where nothing will ever tear us apart
Today I will un-guard my heart — the right way!
How can we grow all of us closer to Jesus?
Lately I’ve been wrestling with a series of questions around:
This morning — having watched the Indian Forrest Gump last night — I wonder if the acronym RUPA might address all of them:
Here’s a first draft of how that might work. What do you think?

I awake… as if from a dream.
I am still myself.
Still married to Jesus.
But my world… my family… is gone.
Did they ever even exist?
We live In a world that seems hell-bound
But that’s just because we have not found
Those ties that bind
Satan from our mind
So earth can by heaven be re-drowned
[A clearer but harder path forward]
In Loving Memory of Lonnie Frisbee
When I want revival to flower
My instinct is to come with power
Reveal hidden truth
To lonely lost youth
So on them God’s blessings I shower
John 4:24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
I hope you don’t think that I’m rude
When spirits, I claim, must be trued
When trapped in the world
Feeling lost and adrift
It’s hard to consider
Existence a gift
It may cause our hearts to be riled
But Lord Jesus cannot be filed
His love is too great
Towards those that we hate
For breaking the Laws we compiled
#FearOfIntimacy
The reason I fear empathy
Is that seeing “You” will lose “Me”
Just like my Self will erase
If I stare God in the face
There are many ways to feel lonely
Especially when it seems we’re only
Playing a part
And that our heart
Won’t find a place that is homely
The key to conquering
Insecurity
Is learning to see You
As You see me
Continued from Mrs. Jesus #4/7: Thor’s Hammer Day
Jesus wraps his arms around me and lowers me to the mattress
“I’m scared,” I whisper
“I know,” he murmurs, kissing my brow
“Don’t worry. I will always be with you, even if you can’t see me.”
For the comfort of my body
Jesus placed a small cot by the Tree of Life
I gaze up at it as he fastens two roots to the holes in my wrists
My body is not what I’m worried about
The sensation is what I imagine dialysis fees like
Or a blood transfusion
The lifeblood of the tree fills me
As mine pours into it
As my consciously slowly wanders off
What I learned about restoring relationships — and finding myself — from watching Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Continue readingSometime 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
I cannot name my true “I”
Until We two see eye-to-eye
I cannot truly “be”
Til I see You see me
And know I’m not some other guy
“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?”
Luke 9:25
It may seem to you
That I pick a nit
Yet still I must ask
What my soul’s for-fit?
2023: Our Year of the Lord’s Favor
I want to be known as Your favor-ite
Celebrating how we two are tight
Together with the Spirit of the Lord, we declare 2023 the year of the Lord’s favor for our family.
