I’m more than graffiti?

I’m more than graffiti?

Graffiti
scrawled
on a concrete wall
an initial
scribbled
on a wooden desk
a pattern
stained
on a textbook
a tattoo
mark
on naked skin
Who are we?
Vandals,
Carvers,
Artists,
Sculptures?
We’re all trying to say
The same thing
I’m unique
I’m someone
I’m vulnerable
I’m ephemeral
I’m passing
O God
Don’t forget
My name
Remember me
In your Kingdom

Walking Back

Walking back home
Sore feet
Sore head
Sore heart
So tired
So sorry
So what
Walking back home
Still seeking
Still weeping
Still reaping
Say something
Say nothing
Say everything
Walking back home
No promises
No comprimises
November
To slow
To know
To say
Nothing
Instead
I’m Forgiven
Words fail me

Time and Eternity on the Tannoy

Recently I’ve been reflecting upon the whole notion of confidence.  We mere mortals need to be more humble as we pass through time into eternity. Especially those of the evangelical kind. Sometimes we can act as though we know everything, or we can give that impression. We leave no room for doubt or [...]

Cafe Church Gets Us Eating and Talking

Great to read the posts on the blog about the various perceptions of Jesus. I must confess I didn’t relate the partying Jesus to the last supper. It seemed to me that Michele was talking about the general disposition of Jesus. I don’t recall her inferring that the passover encounter was a great party event. [...]

When you make the move you understand the pattern!

I find the whole idea of God engaging with our world so believeable yet unbelievable. But I the more you think about everything the more you find yourself asking the question. “So why am I here? What is my life all about? ” And you know something, there is a longing within us all to [...]
