Relief
You need me to take the details of
the world and pray lucid prayers
when my heart is quite otherwise.
Lately all I can muster are jumbled
letters that God has to unscramble
before they make a lick of sense. So
save yourself some embarrassment
and don’t ask me to bless the eggs
unless you’re comfortable with
suessy word-lobs like rupiefonb
(I prayed that nonsense for a week).
God finally answered: ibuprofen.
I said willikers, I’d of never guessed
that one. After a pause God said you’re
here to be curious as much as consoled.
John, The Mennonites here told me we are commanded to be different,”Be ye different”( catn recall the verse), other Theologians say we ARE different.” You are a peculiar people”
You ARE different.
Prayers for yall, especially my Bro David Blase, devoted son of your beloved grandmother.
“After a pause God said you’re here to be curious as much as consoled.” Think I might be quoting the fabulous brother John with this one.
That last line made me laugh out loud!!! And it is so perfectly true. Oh, thank you, John. Thank you.
Love this. I ask God a lot of questions and He often responds with another. Taking a bite of my chili dog with mustard now and pondering this. 😉
Good one, John… but then, all of yours are. You make me laugh, smile, think and sometimes cry. I’m grateful for your good gift.
What a great way to start my day…….
I am officially a new fan of your blog & I look forward to getting to know you and your work better. Since WP changed its format for leaving comments, I have to use my FB profile to post this, but my blog URL is http://healingmorning.blogspot.com. I admire a mentality that approaches life with a sparkle and the occasional willikers thrown in. 🙂

word lobs…

This is perfect. My prayers are full of “suessy word-lobs” these days.
“you’re here to be curious as much as consoled”
LOVE THAT!!! 🙂
