Breakthrough

Bright light, white, pure, beneficent.

As brother to Zacchaeus*

I climb my sycomore tree,wholly lifted above crude crunch, mundane mutterings,to the free, uncluttered viewI seek.

Thy will, not mine

Ah, the fruitless, formless heaviness of indecision,That oversurging of pros and cons,That final tally of confusionYielding non-answerandStarting all over again.

Write for JSH

Once I dwelt in the tomb of mental darknessamong the rocks of ignorance, fear, and sin—ranting in despair.

All there is

What is my fortune?

Remove the liability

We should not ignoreThe good that has gone before,But we must do more.

You never left home

The qualities of God, which you express,Cannot deteriorate, or age, or grow less,Or suffer, or sin, or die,Or be subject to contagion.

The Christian touch

Oh, we can quote the pagesAnd be fierce to error's ways;We can talk the absoluteAnd state our case for days;But where's the needed God-embraceThat gives authority?

Communication

God's indestructible, unbrokenchain of love;binding, yet freeing;close-linked, yet ever-expanding;enfolding, yet not restricting.
