Helter-skelter spiraling earthward,Whirligig wheeling round and around,Bound on an axis man-made,short-lived,Shackled in chains on a pre-set route?

No rugged, pillowed stone or shallow sleepshows us that God is always present whereour path seems hidden and our sorrow deep.

I prayed so long.

"Thou shalt be as the morning"

Yes, thou shalt—thou art, in fact, now dawning—each day brighter, clearer,nearer Truth—whose light you are.

Oh, how fulfilling: obedient day!When I feel the power of the prayer I pray,I set aside all fear and pride to quietly obeywith the ordered pace of Christly grace.

Precept upon precept

Lazarus awakestayed not in tombbut walked toward light—bound, yet free.
