God empties himself
Of God to become human
Here, now, among us

God does not write books
But God's hot breath inspires our
Poems, songs and cool jazz

From Psalm to Cinquain

From Psalm to Cinquain
Psalm 27

My Light
My light
My salvation
Lord, the strength of my life
Facing wars and armies I’m not
Afraid

It Snowed in Texas Last Night!



God loves the people of Texas.

Look, He even dropped a little flurry on Houston and the outlying suburbs last night just to add a little holiday cheer. Plenty of folks could use it after the beating they took from Hurricane Ike.

God Is Good All The Time!

Thank You God - From my Cousin Lillie in North Carolina

DEAR GOD:


I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now.. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed;

I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.


I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.
