seeds in the apple


seeds in the apple
the fruit of the vine
multiplied, orchards
a harvest of souls
each seed a start
another pathway of love
unknown, in the future
a harvest of souls

held in your loving arms
lifted by the body
within a sea of light
an echo of our future
of that day before God
entering the kingdom
bathed in light
bathed in your calling

inundated with love


God’s love a torrent
a raging stream
a spring eternal
if we believe

filling our vessel
our bodies, the cup
inundated with love

filling our cup
filled, overflowing
love shared
love growing
filling the world with love

the blessing inside
bursting, streaming

to love God fully
with who we are
with every fiber of our being
not to earn grace
because we cannot
God gives to us
unconditionally, freely
we love, as our response
his command alone
guiding us
back to God.

I pray for their conversations
that the tables would be alive
filled with your Holy Spirit
each one a tabernacle

I pray for their witness
authentic and open
sharing fully

I pray that you would be with them


Lord, I lift up each name
that you would be with them
in this time, this season,
that they would focus
on you and you alone
all else cast aside
held by this moment
this time set apart
held in your arms

I pray for the pilgrims


Lord, I wake in the night
out of my warm bed
gathering myself
clearing my head

I pray for the pilgrims
the team on the walk
your presence palpable
in their thoughts, in the talks

How I hope for their journey
that they would draw closer to you
I pray for them all
in the stillness of the night

That they will lay down their burdens

A prayer for the pilgrims
for all of God’s children
that they would be unburdened
that they will lay down their burdens
That they would find God
in these words, this moment
that their cares would be brought
that they would be given over to Jesus

May their words be of You
not of this world
may they speak with power
imbued with the Word

may they be renewed

a community, a people
for the state of grace
for your message to sink in
to lift them up
to speaking to our sisters

may they cast off the world
and trust in the Word

May they wake from slumber

passive in their walk
may you lead them to proclaim
to shout their faith
may you embolden our sisters
as you did on Pentecost

what are the effects
the ripples emitted
our aura, our feelings
the life in our living
Do our emotions have power
emitted, flowing
does the world react

The waves of our feelings

able to sow war or to sow peace
our bodies, our feelings
flowing like seas
we can see this in our homes
the choices we make
to be loving or angry
when trouble comes our way
what about the world
the far reaching effects
the waves of our feelings
flowing out of us
does the world react
is this the source of the storms
the energy emitted
by the depths of our feelings

Sermon - "A God Who Is For You!", by Pastor Ruth Foss, Suncook United Methodist Church

October 28, 2012
Twenty-Second Sunday of Kingdomtide
Worship Theme: God’s concern for His people…
Jeremiah 31:7-9 (GWT)
Hebrews 5:1-6 (GWT)
Mark 10:46-52 (NLT)

A God Who Is For You!

A reading from the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 10, verses 46-52. Listen for a word from God for you and me, the people of God . . . Here ends the reading from the book of Mark.

Let us pray. . . Loving and gracious God, we thank you for your word that gives light to our path. Illuminate our minds and spirits so that we may know your will for our lives. Where there are places of darkness illuminate them with the fire of your Spirit within us. May we see you more clearly, love you more dearly and follow you more nearly as we walk our journey of faith. Speak Lord; your light bearer’s are listening.

I don’t know about you but I can’t wait until the elections are over. Some “supposedly” smart people are saying some really dumb things. It is really a sad turn of events. And there are Christians out there that are really saying some really disheartening things, especially on the question about abortion. I understand they are against abortion. Everyone has their own opinion on it. But to say that “It is God’s will” that they got pregnant because of incest or rape is just ridicules.

Would God really want a woman to go through pregnancy and have their child as a reminder of what happened to them? Would God really want a child to possibly go through abuse because the parent sees it as a reminder of what happened to them? These women are victims of someone else’s crime. They became pregnant because of someone else’s wrongdoing. Not their own. This doesn’t sound like the God I know and read about in the Bible. It is not the God I have grown to love. How can they say something as absurd as that?

The Bible tells another story of God’s will for God’s children. Let’s take a look at the scriptures from this morning and see what God’s word says about the plans for you and me. I really think that those politicians have it wrong. Maybe they need to read the Bible again with God’s eyes and not the eye’s of man, the eyes of mercy, grace and forgiveness.

The Old Testament reading from Jeremiah tells us that God is for us…for God’s creation called humanity…because God frees us from our bondage. God loves humanity so much that God is willing to bring them from all the corners of the earth…God will gather His people together. God is there, waiting for those who realize that they need God in their lives. God is waiting for them to reach out their hand and grab hold of the divine. And God will lead them beside streams, make their path level and be their Father in heaven. Now to me, that doesn’t sound like a God who thinks its O.K. for one of His children…for one of His creations to be lost without Him. It sounds a lot like God wants to bring His children into a land of peace and prosperity.

In reading the Gospel of Mark, we see that not only will we be set free of bondage, the bondage of sin and separation, but God is for us because He enables us to see. The story doesn’t tell us how long Bartimaeus was blind or how it happened. All it tells us is that he was blind. Now back then, they thought that people were “afflicted” with various things because of a sin that they had committed or one that their parents committed. The fact was and is that things happen sometimes just because. No reason or rhyme. It just is.

Bartimaeus cried out to the Lord and when He was told to be quiet, he cried out even more. Now when Jesus asked him what he wanted, it wasn’t as if Jesus didn’t know. There are many stories in the bible that we hear that Jesus knew what the people were thinking before they said a word. Maybe Bartimaeus needed to say…to admit he was blind in order to be able to see. There are times in our lives when we are blind and it is not until we admit we are blind about something that we are able to see with renewed eyes…a renewed vision. We are healed from the inside out when we admit we need healing…this is what we have been discovering in our Wednesday night services…in order to be healed we need to look deep within ourselves and discover the things that need healing. Then and only then can we be on the path of wholeness and healing.

We also know that God is for us because of the Hebrews passage from this morning. God provides us with a high priest. Humanity needed and still needs a high priest that is above sin. We need a high priest that, even though they were in human for, was sinless. We are given that priest in and through our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus intercedes for us moment by moment. If God wasn’t for us, why would God spare God’s own Son for the position? Why would God send humanity a sacrifice that stands the test of time?

Bad things happen all the time to good people. We may despair in our own lives and think that “this is God’s will for my life, good, bad or indifferent.” It doesn’t mean that people are being punished or it is God’s will for them. It means that we live in a fallen world where either by our own choices or the choices of others those bad things happen. God has a plan for you, for me, and for all of humanity. Plans that are good and pleasing. Plans that give God pleasure to give to those who love him. We need to renew our minds and our ways of thinking at times. We have a God who is so good and so loving that He sent His Son to die so that humanity may live in a renewed and forgiven life with Him. That alone gives me hope, joy and security for the future. If God is for us…who can be against us? Who can stand against our most awesome God and his Son, Lord Jesus Christ? Who or what can separate us from the love of God? Nothing in heaven or on earth can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Amen!

The accumulated energy


The feelings of each human
joining, fueling each other
our thoughts, our energy
flowing out of us
the welling up, together
becoming a tidal wave,
the accumulated energy
what is the affect
the consequence of all of this
the energy we loose
