In every task, every thought
humbling myself
my way different
following the master
Take the form of a servant
changing from wanting to be first
moving to the end, to serve instead
A different way of thinking
far different than the world’s
finding my refreshment
in God’s living waters, the word
My savior’s example
the way of suffering, of the cross
sharing his message, his words of love
in rhyme, and meter and verse

A towel at my belt
An image, servanthood
following the path of the master
taking up his work
a towel at my belt
serving my brothers, my sisters
so we are called
the children of his flock;
the love of God, living,
serving all of those in need
Glory in the heavens
after our work is done
following as his disciples
choosing to be servants
here in this lowly place

At the end of the line
Not first, not even close
at the end of the line
the last to be served
a servant instead
A hard lesson
a truth to be revealed
God’s path, our savior’s way
so unlike the way of the world
A servant of all, so we must be
to claim the name
Children of God
Our master, the king
humbled on the cross
on the hill of Calvary
Choosing to serve
to bring us home to God
We are his brothers,
his sisters of the faith
picking up our cross
the towel, our hands
to serve his wayward sheep

A Servant to All
Christ’s challenge
while we are bickering
sitting to get our attention
to bring us to him
He is telling them,
words they do not want to hear
of his suffering, his dying
fulfilling the prophecy of old
Not understanding, not wanting to listening
following, asking each other
who is the greatest of all
Worldly conversation
when the Christ is with them
heavenly blessings
when they, when we
become a servant to all
We are to lead by our serving
by his example to all

A Hint of Tea
Her little hands
so purposeful
opening each packet
stirring the sugar,
the creamer
(a suggestion of her sister).
A spill on the table;
no matter, enough.
Only a hint of tea
barely coloring the water,
no longer hot, tepid only.
Not much interest either,
a cup for the sink.

“Remembering Composer Leon Kirchner
The music world is mourning the death of Leon Kirchner, one of America’s greatest composers. Kirchner died yesterday at his home in New York, the cause was heart failure.

Crying in my car
The words, the colors, the music
cascading over me, a wonder of imagery
the magic of radio
notes drifting in the air
the soul of his music
his gift poured out
into me, my being
feeling more than hearing
the loss to the world
his passing, his life
still yet cut short
no matter his age
something of beauty remaining
in the notes, the melody
the life he leaves for us

saved by my brother
his life for my own
atonement, salvation
writing my name

written in his holy blood

walking a path I do not chart
assured by the words of my Lord
His kingdom come
my place foretold
a mansion in that new city
rest at the end of my days

Via email 9/15/09 - A nice story on helping others (not sure the source)
One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill, which only fear can put in you.
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two.. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan ...
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.' Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'
There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around.' Today I sent you this story; and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill, which only fear can put in you.
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two.. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan ...
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.' Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'
There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around.' Today I sent you this story; and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason.

The Lie of Affluence
In the world today
truths obscured
hidden, buried
the life of affluence
that the land, plentiful
the abundance we enjoy
that any of this is the work of man
that we are self-sufficient
Forgetting the reality
all a gift, the fruits of the creator
God made all, the source
living water, life from the dust
breathed into existence
the world from nothingness
The fruits, the abundance
gifts of grace
not of our making
drinking from the living waters
blessings from God

Choosing God
Not choosing the polluted waters
dirty, collected in crack cisterns
runoff of the world
tainted waters, lacking
no refreshment
Choosing the fountain
living water, the love
God, eternal father,
giving brother
loving spirit
pouring into my heart
living within, a part of me
quenching my thirst
restoring me

Way of the cross
way of suffering;

to sacrifice
to go through the trials

Glory instead,

this was their wish
based on their human understanding
Why must it happen as the Master said?

In the Footsteps of Your Son
Walking where he walked
the way of the cross
the path you have chosen
in the footsteps of your son
submitting my will, my choices
to your will, oh Lord
to turn from the world
Your perfect plan
your provision for my life
my days numbers, my hairs known to you
trusting in your goodness, in your love
in the grace you heap on me
walking differently than in my past
Focused on the cross, on your son
on his sacrifice, his servanthood,
not out of obligation
out of love, obedience
taking the way of the cross
following your loving call
the way home

the disciple walking the road
their words not recorded
their thoughts unknown
We are walking with them
unnamed disciples on the road
walking with the stranger
finding Christ when we are ready
in simple things
on our journey home.

Luke 24:13-35
Walk to Emmaus
the way the story unfolds
the journey, the dusty road
the stranger, awareness coming
meaning too in what is left out
the name of the other
the disciple walking the road
their words not recorded
their thoughts unknown
We are walking with them
unnamed disciples on the road
walking with the stranger
finding Christ when we are ready
in simple things
on our journey home.

Purchase of Blood
The lamb of God
stepping in as a sacrifice
atoning for my sin
his life
perfect redemption
the purchase of blood
for my life
changed forever
in accepting his grace
his atoning gift of love
offered on the cross
to restore me
to make me whole
a member of the family

Person of God
Love, living water
the person of God
the Spirit, poured into our hearts
coursing through our veins
God alive, living within us
moving in us, animated by our lives
We are the hands, the feet
the means of God’s love
spreading in the world
dancing with us, speaking when we do
serving others, our of God’s love
the person of God
living within me.
