untitled dots

-------------------------------------------

And lotus-lapped on mountain peaks
He contemplates the navel of
The world he seeks
To leave behind;
To find, divine,
The source of love.
His strength sustains. He does not need
A Sunday mass to help him stay
So pure and keyed
To God as we
The people who
Face sin each day.
Oh Christ please keep us, here, your friends
And followers, in strength to face
This earth of ends
Accomplished by
Sins, lies. Grant us,
In need, your Grace.

Grant us,

indeed we are in need.
that rhymed right then and sounded trite but it is true.

i can see why it is untitled. i wouldnt have any idea where to start on the naming of this piece.

you make a brilliant point in this piece about how Jesus didnt need sunday mass or church services to stay close to God and to know his will for his life.
why do we place such emphasis on going to church on sundays? [or whatever your chosen day of meeting is]
its crazy.
one can go to church their whole life and never enter into the kind of relationship God longs to have with them and that Jesus died to reconcile.
likewise one can hardly ever go to church and yet live so close god in their daily life.
its madness.

we are in need of grace more than ever. well... i know i am.

im a youth worker at my church and its an interesting job. what i am finding at the moment is that most of the kids are at a crossroads. they are at the point where you become aware of the fact that you can have a personal relationship WITH god not just know all ABOUT him... its crazy... i cannot MAKE the kids have this relationship but i can MODEL it for them to see. which means i have to watch every single thing i do coz these kids see EVERYTHING!
one of the older ladies in my church came up to me and said she thought one of the girls in youth group dressed completely inappropriately and i said to this lady that this girl is at a VERY pivitol point in her journey to becoming friends with Jesus and did this lady want the girl to throw it all away because people didnt like the way she dressed...?
i dont know... sometimes we become so... religious we forget about love and stuff...

good morning church. welcome to the building.

yes. this comment has been more of a rant than anything else but this piece of yours has been a challenge. yes... a very real challenge to exist with god on days that arent sunday...

thank you.
