mere christianity . by csLewis

.
The last chapter.
Throughout this book, Lewis has been pointing 
to Christ Jesus from many perspectives.  He has 
taken us in a circle around Jesus while always  
encouraging us to look at the center, Jesus, the 
center of it all. He tells us that to live with Christ 
is life within death, that we find ourself by simply 
looking to Jesus, and that we are growing-up into 
a child…a child that Loves God. 
Sitting in the lap of the Lord.

the surface

.
the curtain has been torn
breaking the surface
we see our sinful self
our life
in the darkness
we know who we are
no need to hide
from the light
walk in the light
see our sinful nature
no need to hide
our ragamuffin self
no need to hide
our Love of God
our need
we shall not hide
for all our Love and
all Glory goes to our Savior
in Him
we are no longer lost
no longer apart
no longer alone
rise from beneath
shake the placid surface
feel the living water
know the pain and destruction
the anguish, and hurt
of this life
from it He was not spared
we know His Love is in all
no need to hide
take up your cross
and follow

can less ever be more?

.
As much as i have depended on interaction here, it seems that my eyes are tiring of looking at a bright screen to read the posts necessary to stay in contact with others. I don’t plan to stop writing in my blog. But, i know that i will be reading less blog posts, and so you will not be getting comments from me on a regular basis.

voices and friends . poetry reading

.

Every week i am amazed that people come here and leave their gift of voice and poetry. I know, by having done it, that it takes time and effort to have a poem, arrange a place and time to record, put it on a post, and to come here and leave a link.  But, i really want the effort and time spent in enjoying the process. Because if you don’t, then forget it and do something else. Love you big time.

If you want, just click on a name below and it will take you to where you can listen to a poem being read.

paint

.

I’m not sure where we’re headed with this, but, we are still slowly moving right along.  Acrylic is just a totally odd medium. Liquid plastic, that dries remarkably fast, and it is close to impossible to mix colours. I know it has favorable qualities, like easy clean-up. Anyway, it is what it is. At this point, i like painting to be experimental. This way i am less concerned about mistakes and more open to enjoying the process. It’s a place where mistakes are often opportunities in disguise.
