this morning

even in my prayer I am greedy.
time to adapt a bit. . . . .


this might take a while

reading jeremiah

all I can think about this afternoon:
(it brings me out in a sweat)
churches with locked doors.

at first I thought this was an anglican problem.
it certainly isn't.

why do you come here?

what you seek you will not find here.
the desert is where I am.
go there and you will find me;

in the 'noplace'

scripture

this morning
I begin to realise just how central
the scriptures actually are -
without understanding how.

I think what you are driving at:
return to them, return to them
without delay!
over and over:
mainstay
anchor
support
purpose
joy
source of light
path!

not a place then;
not an idea either;
but 'where' I meet you nevertheless.

in the beginning was the word
(I never understood this)
do I now?
scarcely,

understanding is not essential!
I must remember this!
how many times has my need to 'understand'
held me back?

nothing new under the sun

I return over and over:
wanting to add to this blog
only to find that I said it all
in the psalms this morning.

the need to sing
to create
to make
to plan
to do
sometimes overwhelm
