A gift of grace

A gift of grace,
unmerited favor,
the Love of God,
poured out upon us,
lifting us up.
 
Praise and worship
to God the Father, Creator,
to Christ our Lord and Savior,
to the Spirit within.
 
A gift amazing,
in awe and power,
raising us from death, from Sin,
unmerited grace, agape,
Love unending.

Stay close to me, #Lord – v2 #God

Stay close to me, Lord,
for I am crushed in my spirit,
I don’t know where to turn.
I am lost in the wilderness,
the chaos, of my own making.
 
Stay close to me, Lord,
show me my way back to You,
heal me God in my brokenness.
Lord Jesus, I cleave to You,
in this time, in my struggles.

The Word is Spirit – v3

The Word is Spirit, life, metaphor,
less history, more mystery,
guiding us within, calling,
speaking to our spirit,
leading us if we will follow,
Onto the way, into the truth...
 
The Word is light, living water,
shining upon us, filling our souls,
quenching our thirst, our longing,
a living connection with God,
with our brother, the Spirit
We are entwined in the vine…
 
The Word is Spirit, teaching, shining,
light into the darkness of this world,
offering love, grace, hope
to all who seek, who strive ,
after righteousness, to purpose,
To meaning in our lives...

A #Hobbit #Hunt

Away from our books, our studies,
I think beer was the prize,
A Hobbit Hunt in the woods,
I had a good head start.
 
I heard them laughing,
as I lay under the leaves,
But I was found too quickly,
then it was time to leave.

A Hobbit Hunt
 
During our freshman year at UNH in 1978, my friends called me Hobbit,
Because I was the shortest of our group and because I had
A certain amount of hair on the top of my feet (smile).
Someone suggested a Hobbit Hunt in College Woods.
I hid pretty well behind a log under leaves.
It took John Labonte a while to find me.

A double A-frame

A double A-frame,
a fork in the road,
a path not taken,
a choice by necessity
an opportunity lost.
 
A way going forward,
in the city, not the country,
a path we chose to take
a choice by necessity
an opportunity lost.

A double A-frame
 
In the summer of 1976, dad got a job
as Manager of Manufacturing Engineering
at Joy Manufacturing
in Claremont, NH.
We almost bought a double A-frame
on a large lot in Ascutney, VT,
But there were issues with water rights,
with the well on another parcel and
the owner lived in Australia at the time…
My folks bought a home in Claremont instead.
We had discussed me doing all the landscaping,
clearing the lot in Ascutney, but that never happened.

Stay close to me, #Lord #God

Stay close to me, Lord,
For I am crushed in my spirit,
I don’t know where to turn,
I am lost in my wilderness.
 
Stay close to me, Lord,
Show me my way back to You,
Heal me in my brokenness,
Lord, I cleave to You.

Stay close to me
 
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and
saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18
