It may seem I’m mad just to dare it
Yet this world I’m called to inherit
Not by the strength of my arm
But making myself open to harm

12/27 Limericks: Frailroad
StandardI think my life like a train
Running on rails that my brain
Already decided
Must be provided
So that my goals I attain
12/19 Poem: Beginner’s End
StandardIf we hope to finish the race
We must be willing to face
The limits of our competence
Even before we commence
12/16 Limerick: See Us Right
StandardTo 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!
11/26 Limerick: Enriched Flower
StandardIf we wish to channel God’s power
We must be willing to flower
I open my heart
So every deep part
Is enriched by heaven’s sweet shower
10/31 Limerick: In Vulnerability
StandardThere’s power that comes in vulnerability
As losing my armor unleashes Thee
It may not feel safe
But I’m no helpless waif
For even my death brings me victory!
10/16 Limerick: Build Up, Right?
StandardWe love to build faster and higher
But maybe we’re playing with fire

Dooms us with our own desire

Invoking past truths I have heard
So I can gain
Without facing pain
Things I have merely observed
Redeeming Animism, Part 2: Coyote Wiled
StandardContinued from Part 1
Prologue
When the bizarre becomes normal, the commonplace is mind-blowing.
It no longer fazes me to have the god of mice chattering away on my shoulder. Our quest to ask “Brother Coyote” how to defeat Satan seems perfectly reasonable (though I’m still unclear why we went South from Greece to find him, rather than West towards North America).
But I am taken completely off-guard when the infamous trickster turns out to be my English Cocker Spaniel…

StandardPerhaps my worst and most common trigger

That implicitly assumes
That what I consider vitally true
Is obviously false
And I feel like I have to
Invalidate their statement
Or else they’ll have
Invalidated me

StandardWe cannot say
What God is
Only THAT He is
Leaving Adam’s Arms
StandardEscaping conflicted comfort…
It is natural
To seek comfort
In the arms of Adam
Falling back
On the familiar patterns
And role models of culture
Lesson 5/6 Courage (Anjali’s Catechism)
StandardFaith: Wise Risk
It would be wonderful if everyone knew how to find real happiness, glory, and relationships by believing in the same God Jesus did.
However, believing in God is not learning a fact, such as:
- 2 + 2 = 4
- Grass is green
- I prefer berry pie to chocolate cake
The Criminal’s Prayer
StandardA hardcore version of The Sinner’s Prayer. From a dream I had on December 26, 2015.
God, I am a f***ing sinner, and I deserve to die. Save me from myself. Do whatever you have to do to burn away all the sin in me, so that I can become like you. I ask this by the blood of Jesus, Amen.
