White Man

This video is remarkable and inspiring!  God is love....to everyone.  Not just the ones we believe to be worthy, but everyone!  He doesn't subscribe to anyones agenda, get caught up in b.s., worry about nationality, sexuality, or political associations.  God is love.  It really is that simple.  No matter where you are in life, God loves you and is honored to be your father.  Enjoy!

From Under the Knife

Quit comparing scars
Circumcise your thinking.
The law is for the lawless,
and you have been redeemed.

Iron sharpens iron
as one man does another.
Careful not to get so sharp
no one can handle you without getting ripped to shreds.

The law's a guide...not a god.
Your heart knows the truth.
It was engrafted intentionally,
reliably, so you know how to move...
in love.
Not judgement
or opinion.
But love....the anti law.

The Passed

I wrote this a while ago, November 9th 2006 to be exact.  For me it brought closure over the death of a man too young to die. Lately I have been plagued with thoughts of him, and how his devastating death was totally avoidable.  We must remember to reach out and love those who are stuck in the darkness of depression.  Never overlook anothers sorrow as something that will pass, but sit with them, let them share themselves, cry with them, and offer them hope.  There is always hope.  This is for Kyle.

Guns and broken hearts,
emptiness                emptied.
Blood calls from the ground of a haunted friday.
You did it.

A dark part understands.
I was once there with a rifle of my own.
But I can never know the depth of the glass kingdom you lived.
Everyone around you seemed to have a stone,
and your fragility
in brokenness
took
the
fall.

And we suffer as you did.    In skin.
Or maybe it's selfish to say our hurt is equal.
Because my ache will stop.
And for you,
love was the safety you just didn't know how to push.



Revelation of God - Revolution of Man

Taking the morning slowly to realize how happy I am that God is more than man.
He lays Himself down and becomes our road when everything else falls out from underneath us.  He fills all our cracks with Himself, and always does so humbly and with all of the love in the world.  He massages our heart when it slows from breaking.  He breathes life into our bodies over and over again, resuscitating hope when others have beaten it out of us.  When we find ourselves believing lies, He is there sharing Truth.  When people degrade and defame us, He is in their midst bringing conviction and shouting reality.  He never leaves, although we sometimes walk away from him.  He's a pursuer, a lover, a freer, and our father.  His very essence is purity.  His heart is for our security.  His hand is for our authority and His Truth, the main priority.
He is God....so high above us, yet he walks among us!  He infiltrates our thinking, corrects our judgement, and shows us each day how love responds.  He always forgives, and unlike man, even forgets.  He doesn't hold our past like an umbrella over our heads, hiding the sun; the goodness.  He is a God who moves on and urges each and everyone of us to do the same. 
It is possible for me to be like Him.  And that's the most amazing part.  With His help, His Spirit, I can walk like him, love like him, and show the rest of the world, that being a mere man is not enough.  We are immortal!  We are unmovable!  We are revolutionary radicals who are restored by His love!
