tuff luv

The hill was muddy&steep.He fell two times&busted two teeth.The guard delivered two blows&knocked him off his feet.The flogging post splinter in his wrist;the torn skin from his knees.His back showing the muscle underneath."No one takes my life from me.I lay it down."They took thorns&made a crown,beat him with clubs&paraded him around."Forgive them.They don't know what they're doing right now."

evident

He quacks like a duck.He has the memory of an elephant.The angels struck a chord;a born prophetic savant&Lord.A certified woodchuck pulling all these stunts,claiming to be God.An aunts premonition that kicked real hard.Mary's supposed malfeasance;a faith healer,teacher,friend of the poor.Someone must have opened the door;he spoke to a hundred or more then rose into the heavens the only Savior.

prophecy

Ten hens out in the yard pecking at bugs,seeds&grubs protecting their chicks out on the range.One dim light per row of ten high with 8 hens laying eggs from a small cage;250,000 under one roof making breakfast for you and I.Bovine calves in body-width stalls standing constantly eating grain from the trough.I like my veal with marinara sauce.If we do not care for the needs of animals abundance will be cut off.

slow

You cannot see what I have seen.Life is not pretty;you don't get away clean.Far few claim the serene.Garbage like leaves somehow not seen by the river of dreams;memory like divinity in the stream:today like yesterday wading in the supreme,its a beautiful day.My heart is afloat on a reason to stay.Without current in a widened place;moving along the shore in a torrent of grace.

gloom

She grew up with one front step&no sidewalks.The rain barrel melted garbage through the cracks;the burning barrels were stacked against peace talks.The linebackers bushwhacked the cornstalks&she refused to look back even when she was gone.When she was on the attack,you knew by the way she walked.That pirate smile has been gone for awhile&it will take a mountain to bring it back.

gravitas

He lays down&does not sleep.She buys a stairway to heaven but still gets the creeps.He wields his power into an elastic world.She is ready for defeat.He makes cents of his world.She dines for free.He eats Cheerios&minnows to keep the glob away.She drinks of enmity;the wolves are at the door.He brings scandalous rationality with curds&whey.Which reality you choose to restore;which river runs through valleys of gore.

views

Maxim,pets&precepts are perpetuated at party lines.Karla,Bo's brother's friend,Mark's wife wansta party with Marty&Willie&Rosa at John's tonight.Ron's friends are awefully forthright,trite&contrary to delight.Sounds right.Is it worth it;what you're dying to say?The servants are hungry;the landlord said they cannot stay.The rebellion of plasticity holds tightly.Joshua,James&the king progress nightly.Tmars'notherday.

Community

Someone said this place was better.We got there&people were living in boxes wearing heavy sweaters,drinking sugar water&coughing french fries with fear&pain in their eyes.Others danced with grocery carts&hid their hearts;they never walked to the store.It seems they were all strangers that lied to themselves&each other&thought lust&trust was a joke&loved more.

obey

If honoring God has not meant remaining celibate,you've never held on&prayed through it.If trusting God doesn't mean your finances,you're not taking chances.If you haven't been degraded,hated or humiliated&forgiven them,you're not helping others into the kingdom.If you never cry your heart out,you're not broken.If you don't deal with loss,anger&grief you're not loving.If you haven't been a victim,you're not like him.

worry

that joy in life will somehow fizzle out,that effort will have no effect,that a drizzle will friz your hair out,that you wont connect,that you will lose control,that you will lose it all,that people will think less of you,that they will talk behind your back,that you are being lied to&used,that children won't come back,that you will have a bad reputation,that there will be no compensation,that an enemy will attack

jealous

when correction has no benefit,when you find a body&stare at it,when being right makes others want to trample your lawn,sit back&yawn or show how they are strong,when you can't wait to hear how it happened,listening to others about others without question,when truth is juicy&reality is fiction,when someone gets what you're deserving&words begin stirring motion,when the only devotion is to you.

sure

There is a rhyme to every reason&a break to every season when in God's time you are ensued.In the time that it takes to make your way to see it through,the chance you take better be the one meant for you.I have made the mistake jumping into a lake that was frozen in June.I just couldn't wait or believe the state of the place I was looking to move.I wanted my way&in due time it came unglued.

value

Your life is in God's hands.Talk to children so they understand.Your family needs your patient attention&time is all you have.Study,prayer,meditation,meet your neighbor.Defend the poor,strengthen the weak,help the elder. This time we devour&usurp God's power for all these are set aside for keeping stride,splitting your side,shaping your belly&thighs to please eyes or saving your own life.
