Berean

The natural reponse to:"Trust me.Take my word for it.Yes I will or no I wont"is to say "show dont tell"I need some proof,some reason to believe"If i am trusting you with my heart,my mind or energy its not cynical or skeptical but sensible to desire something tangible, give poor Tom a break.We have God's word to take.Find out what it really says before you put faith in superstition or suffer long for one mistake.

Rescue

Its amazing how far some have travelled outside the bounds of the mission at hand.Lost in the details like being buried in the sand they just cant seem to feel anything but sand in their crack.They are on the attack&refuse to go back to the mercy that drew them in.As if grace is for the strong&correction for the weak,respect for the hard&insults for the meek.I hope you're broken before sin does you in.

Divorce

A mighty wave of heartbreak when a lover eats bread of discontent,drinks in deceit:a bent toward selfishness,threats&entitlements.Add insult to injury suddenly seeing reality or deficiencies,or imaginatively constructed,carefully selected theories.A mighty wave of mercy&prayer brings equality into focus,a welcome catharsis:seperation,nothing to mention,eternal affection.

Anomaly

If you get hurried you miss the essence.One day can make the difference.A momentary inference seems credible until a crucial deviation takes egress from the hall.Just went you though you had heard it all,what was understood is no longer palpable:we scratch our heads & wonder why we didnt see it before.No person is infallible.Some think more.If you think you know for sure,you may not know at all.

Good Grief

Jimmy says good grief opens the door of the poor in spirit(the one standing in the corner too long)&sets free the calf from the stall.Grief like a benevolent thief takes it all into perspective decides whats relative to love&peace(to what is noble)&gives more experience at ease,of understanding needs&the treasure of dreams.Though we may share our troubles,its hard to share our grief&harder to share our joy.

Baggage

Christmas decorations,paint cans,wet blankets,baseballs,old socks,a word processor,a vacuum cleaner,a brown recluse in a big bulky box,a record player,a bunch of old rags that stink,angry recollections,white sheets stained in mud,jealous competition,shame,blame,quest for fame,selfish-ambition,a dumpster full of lust,disgust,fear,anxiety,worry&regret&a kitchen sink.

Small Group

Willing to listen,willing to speak I hasten to seek your response.Playing around with fonts is no way to quicken the throwing of inhibitions.Casual meetings of associates greeting daily bleetings of perfunctory bits of information stunt a true connection.A small group keeps you in the loop so your fishin line doesnt come back empty:once you share your inner thoughts&motivations, you have a new family situation.
