Life
Death
All gather at the wedding or casket.
Always the same, crazy drunk dancers
Shy
Wall
Flowers,
Baked
Stuffed
Chicken
And
Green bean
Almondine.
We can’t escape the circle.
I can’t say, “I won’t walk the circumference of the dance floor”
Neither can you. But still we say it.
I
Will not
Be
Moved. I
Will
Break the
Cycle.
We end up on the other side anyway,
Having never moved at all, or run at it
Like some desperate groom chasing his bride.
Some old man chasing oxygen from plastic tubes.

Drawing us to our ends. We are all stuck
In the Divine equation, wedding, funeral
We are all stuck with our free will.

Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It’s simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.

Morning Direction From Scripture 6-13-19
I heard an unknown voice say:
6 “I removed the burden from their shoulders;
their hands were set free from the basket.
7 In your distress you called and I rescued you,
I answered you out of a thundercloud;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.[c]
8 Hear me, my people, and I will warn you—
if you would only listen to me, Israel!
9 You shall have no foreign god among you;
you shall not worship any god other than me.
10 I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. Psalm 81:5-10
What are you doing to let God fill you today?
