Jesus, thank you. 2000 odd years ago, you- the one whose very word produced and is still expanding the universe- came in flesh (1 John). Took on the limitations and fraility of a human. The uncontainable became contained in a human being. The infinite became locked up in skin. The one who is beyond imagination took on form. The one whose breath ( Read more... )

Attracted to another/But holding her/A touch is so enticing/Soothes the mundane of life. Best friends are like that, aren't they/Those boundaries no longer hold I force myself to believe/ You are just a friend, a dearest one/But nothing other. Your words sting/When you say best friends don't go this way/The scent of your hair keeps me near. The ( Read more... )

The man in the center
His face unlike any he ever seen
Friendliness and courage mixed
Royal and gentle
Didn’t even know he was ushered by fishermen

Sat him down on one corner of a huge field
The wind has stung him a moment ago-
Inflaming his hunger-
Now it hurts him no longer
Another wind was blowing
A tender breeze
Filling him with a newfound ( Read more... )

Don’t go-
It’s always dangerous
The spiritual is uncalculated
And wild

His mother were friends with the Pharisee
Many a morning toast
Had her convinced that God better be left alone
Stories of how Uzzah died
Touching the ark
Others who perished
Offering a bad fire
Still
How God makes leperous-
Those
No priesthood to their name

Another voice ( Read more... )

Breadcrumbs
All he had for a week
The small growl in the stomach
Now a gnawing force
Threatening to cripple

Up ahead a crowd
Full of angst and discontentment
An air of religious pride permeates
We have not done bad,
Not perfect but well.Pondering if he should continue ( Read more... )

From 1 John 5 and Ps 25- Wisdom is He
Freely our Daddy has given us
The Son is life
Whoever finds Him find life

Didn’t the wise men come near
Only to see a little form
Yet the seen often hides the real
If you would stop hiding behind your righteousness-
And start seeing

See the glory in the babe
See the wonder in a trough
See life in the Cross

I sit here
Without rest
My heart an empty and mixed vessel
Wanting but not having

Words I know is true
But cannot say
I know who I am
But I don’t know how to resolve what I want

The world caves in
But you are still here
In the midst of me
Your light surrounds me
King you have made me
From dust you have raised me

Unwanted, but wanted by God
