Borrowed Time

They will put you out of the synagogue;
in fact, the time is coming
when anyone who kills you
will think they are offering a service to GOD.
~ John 16

GOD is trying to tell you something...

Hear and pay attention,
do not be arrogant,
for the LORD has spoken.
~ Jeremiah 13

A Dios Le Pido

So I turned to the Lord GOD
and pleaded with him
in prayer and petition, in fasting,
and in sackcloth and ashes.
~ Daniel 9

Honey Bee

“What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?”
~ Judges 14

The Second Time Around

Seymour's second bloom this year...

Let us go early to the vineyards
to see if the vines have budded,
if their blossoms have opened,
and if the pomegranates are in bloom—
there I will give you my love.
~ Song of Solomon 7

2010: Suddenly Seymour

A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All people are like grass,
and all their faithfulness
is like the flowers of the field."
~ Isaiah 40

Shake!

Nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines
and earthquakes
in various places.
~ Matthew 24

Forge Your Own Chains

The LORD will rise up
as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself
as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work,
his strange work,
and perform his task,
his alien task.
Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the LORD Almighty,
has told me
of the destruction
decreed against the whole land.
Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
~ Isaiah 28

It's So Hard

I endure scorn for your sake,
and shame covers my face.
~ Psalm 69
