Hold My Hand

Your hands shaped me and made me.
Will you now turn and destroy me?
~ Job 10

Rockaway Beach

He called a little child to him,
and placed the child among them.
And he said:
“Truly I tell you, unless you change
and become like little children,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
~ Matthew 18

Free Will

Now the serpent was more crafty
than any of the wild animals
the LORD God had made.
He said to the woman, “Did God really say,
‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent,
“We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
but God did say,
‘You must not eat fruit from the tree
that is in the middle of the garden,
and you must not touch it,
or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,”
the serpent said to the woman.
“For God knows that when you eat from it
your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.”
~ Genesis 3

Bird Has Flown

After forty days
Noah opened a window
he had made in the ark
and sent out a raven,
and it kept flying back and forth
until the water had dried up from the earth.
Then he sent out a dove
to see if the water had receded
from the surface of the ground.
~ Genesis 8

Get Down Make Love

This is my command:
Love each other.
~ John 15

Death Is Not The End

But the cowardly,
the unbelieving,
the vile, the murderers,
the sexually immoral,
those who practice magic arts,
the idolaters and all liars—
they will be consigned
to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death.
~ Revelation 21

Ring The Bells That Still Can Ring

Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth
will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice,
or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure
in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God,
is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
~ Psalm 51



Forget your perfect offering...
there is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.
