Rock of Ages





O Lord!
If we could 
be your disciples!

We would struggle
against those
who want to
use us
in their cause of
justice.

We would praise You
as a brother -
the mistakenly, rejected 
cornerstone.

Use us.

Transform 
the rock
of Easter
into an 
altar in 
Your Kingdom.

Good Friday Meditation



Which is more
incredible?

That we
murdered 
God?

Or

He
dropped 
the charges
against us?

No Experience Required



In His economy 
there are
always
these rehires.

And with Him
there 
is no
such thing as a
probation period.

Full pay
and
benefits
from
day one.

And we
who never left
the reservation,
understand
this principle.

Although
like the eldest son
we
silently long 
for a
closed shop.

Reflection on the Beatitudes



Blessed are the poor in spirit.
    Lord, break my spirit.

Blessed are those who mourn.
    Lord, forgive my sins, 
that cause pain to You and others

Blessed are the meek.
    Lord, I need to take myself 
less seriously, 
and 
You more seriously.
  
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
    Lord, help me avoid the temptation of indifference.
  
Blessed are the merciful.
    Lord, may the grace you grant me, 
be shared with all.

Blessed are the pure in heart.
    Lord, mold me into a person of integrity. 

Blessed are the peacemakers.
    Lord, give me the wisdom to know Your way.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness.
    Lord, give me courage when I am afraid.
