A Soup of Flesh and Bones

I used to make promises lightly.
I used to lie to my very own soul.
A soup of flesh and bones.
When all those promises ravaged me you were the only one I told.
Back then I had to bleed to feel.
Yet my own blood could not save me.
It is only by the blood of Jesus Christ that you my Father gave me.

The Blind Who Really See

I would rather walk through this world now like a horse with blinders on.

I am skittish  or am I angry? Either way  I can no longer abide without speaking.

I detest the culture that is so invasive and ravages souls.

I detest the bullies, the political vomit, the religious misinformation being preached.

I hear with my eyes shut the cries of our young screaming out in terrifying confusion.

I hear the elderly silenced of their vast contribution of wisdom.

I hear with my eyes shut the deafening bombs of war, abortion  and other useless dying.

Evil, greed, jealousy, envy, bitter, joy, peace, kindness, entitlement, shame, lies, prosperity, poverty, mentally ill, diseased, disrespect,  fitness, news media, hollywood, sexual violence, addiction, self  righteousness, murder, sodomy, rape, divorce, scammers, hackers, government intrusions, book banning, history, gossip, lynching, canceled, abortion, pollution, domestic violence, sex traffic, degrading others, lack of productivity, drugs of choice rampant, man bashing, body bashing, gay, straight, conspiracy theories, censorship, thinking your kid is better, judging when you know nothing about the person…

You may say I am overreacting but I disagree…But here I leave you with Truth.

 

“We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.…”  2 Corinthians 4:9 

Jesus said, …” I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father…and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.  These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [b]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33

 

 

She Took Her Love

She took her love to walk awhile beneath a crescent moon

While they gazed upon the quicksilver in the stars

She told him she had lost her way among the sandy dunes

But the tide had brought her back again from somewhere very far

She took her love to sail awhile upon the indigo night sea

While they caressed the salty thick spray upon their faces

She told him she had found her way among the sand and sea

And that God had made her his own among these ocean places
