LITTLE SHEPARD BOY
Do you fear what I fear?
Said the little lamb to the Shepard boy
Listen to what I say
Stay out of those bars, Shepard boy
Listen to what I say
Don’t you hit on mean, redneck guys
Those with tattoos and a scruffy beard
Those with tattoos, and a scruffy beard
Said the little lamb to the Shepard boy
Do you [...]

I Shouldn’t Have Asked This Question
Posted in Uncategorized on October 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Just suppose God wasn’t rich
Imagine if he never came to visit
Suppose he didn’t bring gifts
and never lifted anyone’s spirit,
and the Holy Ghost chose not to be close
Just suppose you never felt his touch
Imagine living with barely enough
What if he ignored prayer and persuasion
and missed sharing special occasions
Would you still embrace the cross
With courage, face every [...]

District 9 Analysis
Posted in Uncategorized on August 19, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I just returned from watching Peter Jackson’s film “District 9″ and here’s a perspective:
I see everything through a kaleidoscope with colored jewels forming crosses in various shapes and colors, and so it is with District 9. If find it both refreshing and alarming that filmmakers and script writers tend to go with their intuition, even [...]
Two Hawks, Circling
Posted in Uncategorized on August 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today a pair of hawks soared high above the heads of a bride and groom as they were taking their vows.
I turned to Job 39:26 and read, “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and spread its wings toward the south?”
It seemed that the hawk was a symbol for the wedding pair. There is something [...]
The Death Star
Posted in Uncategorized on July 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I have seen the Death Star,
wandered through the universe –
where I carelessly jettisoned my heart
So many failed attempts at reversing course,
but in my vagrancy I found
the cosmos to be spiral – nearly round
Always bringing my hollow capsule back
to where it all began –
Somewhere between the flaming start
and the sputtering, gasping end
Lies my heart
Is it too large [...]
Where’s My GI Joe?
Posted in Uncategorized on July 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Where’s my GI Joe? My two-year old son’s first sentence. The almost-six-inch camouflage green, or white, or black-uniformed soldiers with hinged hips, elbows, and knees, always squeezed by Jonny’s baby-fat fingers. His little regiment of toy soldiers lived in crowded and merciless toddler-service in a shoebox quanson hut under little Jonny’s bed.

Love God with all your heart,
with all your guts, with all your sweat
and every muscle and pound you pile on
Brother Sir, Sister Ma’am
Posted in Uncategorized on July 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
To me something is conspicuous by its absence. What is absent from the body of Christ today is the understanding and practice of the millenial truth that Christians are in almost every sense a family, and brothers and sisters in particular.
How long has it been since another believer has called me brother? Many moons, sir and [...]
The Inaugural Prayer of Rick Warren
Posted in Uncategorized on July 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
There was something troubling in Rick Warren’s prayer at President Obama’s inauguration. His choice of words for invoking God sounded eerily like something from the Koran: “And you are the compassionate and merciful One.” The Muslim wording is “In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate one.”
The phrase he used is also in the [...]
