Above All

"But where shall wisdom be found?

And where

is the place of understanding?

Mortals do not know the way to it,

and

it is not found

in the land of the living..."

Job 28: 12-13

"Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

for he will speak peace to his people,

to his faithful,

to those who turn to him

in their hearts..."

Psalm 85: 8

"Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;

righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

Faithfulness will spring up from the ground,
and

righteousness will look down from the sky..."

Psalm 85: 10-11

Hold fast to the laws of the Lord and take refuge in the Word...

Much Relief

Walk it off, suck it up,
let not one thing touch you.
Weight of the world resting heavily upon you.
Hard-core prick
the bag used to carry it all in...

Learned quick and young
never let your guard down--
even if it hurts like hell.

Labeled this
fish out of water

labeled that
flopping about for air

cause you know me like that
gasping.

Released
free
Holy helper, friend, hand
open seas, skies and mind.

Searched and groped for God
found Him;

Rebirth pangs
all in perspective
sigh of much relief
breathing again...

Just enjoy things;

"Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern
what is the will of God-
what is good and acceptable and perfect"  Romans 12:2

TGIF

I will sing to my God a new song:
O Lord, you are great and glorious, wonderful in strength, invincible.
Let all your creatures serve you, for you spoke and they were made.
You sent forth your spirit, and it formed them;
there is none that can resist your voice.

Judith 16:13-14

Live It.

"It's not about how long you live it's about how you live it."  -MLK

You don't have to preach and quote and be a Biblical scholar.  Gums can flap, often, like nobody's business!  God's Word is written not only in text, but also upon all our hearts. 

The easiest and most wonderful discipleship--Just live it. 

Live it.

Amen.
