our blessedness
in our walk in this life
not by human perceptions
the dog eat dog
pull yourself up
by your own bootstraps
he who dies with the most toys wins
self-delusion
Held up to the mirror
to his admonitions
his teachings,
recast in the words of Christ
to be our guide, our beacon
the lamp, the light we follow
conforming our steps
yoked with our savior
Choosing freedom
in the way of the servant
offering our hand
our life for our neighbor
hope for those in need
stopping what we are doing
for they matter
worthy as we are
in the loving eyes of God

received July 1, 2010
“This Sunday my sermon is titled “Pursuing More Than Happiness,”
and it is based on Matthew 5:1-13. If you have a few minutes to read
this passage of scripture prior to attending the service, you might get
a little more out of the sermon. In this sermon, I want to challenge us all
to live with greater intentionality and to find deeper levels of meaning
for our lives. Instant gratification can be the enemy of faithful living.
Intentionality is the path to blessedness.”
