I am wet all over. The rain has mostly stopped, except for a slight drizzle, but a couple walks ahead of me, umbrella held high. They are laughing. And drier than I am, that's . . .

"Where was God?" She asked me
With storming eyes and jerky movements
As she spat the words into my face.
I was speechless for a moment.
Not because I didn't know the answer. . . .

You never know
When a word you say
Might salvage the life
Of a soul one day.
You never know
When your friendly smile
Is the first that a person's
Seen in a while.
You never . . .

You are my people.
Perhaps there is no
Kinship of the flesh.
No common goals,
Ideals, or beliefs.
Perhaps you do not
Look like me or act
The way I feel is right.
Maybe you don't . . .

I've been getting a few new friends on Gather lately and I worry. I worry that after they have been friends with me a while they will discover that we are not always on the same page.

I never meant to be an activist!
My big plan was to be an artistic
Creative genius and watch from
The sidelines of life and to let
Somebody else do all the dirty work.
Well, you know what . . .

When the Spirit of the Lord is strong upon me
I am fearless.
Do I need to face down a legion of demons?
Bring 'em on!
Do I need to walk on water?
Not a problem!
Do I need the wherewithal . . .

I love you.
I know this is a foreign concept...
That someone could love you and not
Agree with your sin...
But I do.
I'd like to tell you
That I will never speak
Harsh words or disagree . . .

I wish I would just stop sometimes!
This urge to always, always, always
Try to make people understand one another!
More often than not, I step into the breach
With the 'bestest' of . . .

I've had such a life!
It reads more like fiction
Than the truth.
Or it would, should I write
The whole of it, but I know better.
Already, people look at me in doubt.
Were I to tell . . .

Poverty drains
The life out of a man.
The dignity, too.
The confidence.
It stunts his faith.
Makes him sad.
Takes so much of
His very self away.
That's why Jesus
Made such a . . .

Don't you know what you are, child?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you think I know what I am doing here?
What you are doing here?
You are more precious to me
Than every piece . . .

The eyes are the windows to the soul, they say.
What I see in your eyes haunts me.
I do not know if I am really seeing as I sometimes do
With otherworldly eyes. Or if you merely remind me
Of someone . . .

Carefully, I make my way across a great divide
It's difficult to span it, but I must.
I need to let you know how much I care,
Yet still cannot allow for you to think
That I condone the things . . .

I am borrowing my sister's internet to let everybody know what is happening and why I haven't been on Gather for a while. Two words--hurricane Gustav!
It's so crazy! Our pastor . . .

Is she real?
I don't know.
I sure tried to see.
But all I saw was
Her best face
Looking back at me.
Does she feel
A thing at all as
She's standing there?
I can't . . .

I try not to say or do anything
That will step on anyone's toes
Or hurt their feelings or make them
Get mad at me and cuss me out.
But wouldn't you know it?
There's always somebody . . .

I wonder what they said about
Jesus, sitting at the sinner's table?
Were all of his 'people' frowning,
Whispering amongst themselves?
We know about the Pharisees
How they thought . . .
