For only a matter of
moments
not several anguished
hours
a play worthy of
repeating
gathering my senses
in pain I created
wrapped in their judgment
Hanging on my cross
Dismas, my arms hurting,
thinking about the grace
of God
and the words Christ
spoke to me
How would I have reacted
sharing a conversation
with God
seeking to unravel
the meaning of Christ’s
words
Would I have cried out
my pain overwhelming
hanging upon my cross
the harvest of my life
wrapped in their judgment;
Would I have known such
joy
in the fruits of Christ’s
blessing

This
Lenten Season, we are doing something a little different. We are doing Lenten
Dramas from: http://www.sermonsfromseattle.com/home.htm
It is called "The Voice of God". We are hearing conversations between
God and some of the characters that took part in Passion Week. It has been a
"moving experience" for all. . .
