Blocking, facing – v2

Blocking, facing, stretching,

with a limited supply in stock;

Creating an image, a picture,

A façade, a lie of fullness,

A movie set of retail

of more inventory here

giving customers a sense

that we can provide

all of their needs.

“I will never understand American Christianity’s

response to the pandemic. I’m so grieved by

reckless choices that lead to real life consequences

for the whole community. And I wonder in the

Church’s failure in this also grieves the heart of God.”

My reply:

https://twitter.com/raymondafoss/status/1368230798323822593

if "#Jesus wept." for the death of one friend,

Lazarus, how much more so must #God weep for this

loss of life from the pandemic.

John 11:35

“Jesus wept.”

Stronger by the minute – v2

She is stronger by the minute
each step, each repetition
Her pain kept in check
following the protocol

She is doing the work assigned
each step, each repetition
She has clear measured improvement
in the range of movement

She is stronger than they expected
each step, each repetition
She is moving through the steps
the beginning of this journey

In God We Trust – v3

not in false idols
precious metals, gold
not in things of the earth
not in wood or stone
that will deteriorate
that will return to dust
In God we trust
our refuge, our fortress
sheltered in our Savior
safe in God’s loving arms
safe in the storms

safe from the winds
the threats of destruction
in the safe harbor
sheltered in our Savior
covered from the elements
in God’s loving arms
Christ is our refuge
from the storms, the world
safe in God’s loving arms
sheltered in our Savior
safe in our storms
