Reason for Thanks

…50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;… Mt. 27:51

Fabric heaving under tension
straining, cowered, curled
the man.
Obscured behind the curtain
brilliance shining, the
I Am

Glory, Peace and power
love in spaces meant
for man
pushing out around the edges
lighting light from the
I Am.

Corrupt in striving weakness
now pride's folly all
consumed
for the dangling shroud dropped, ripping
as Christ roared,
"You're mine-
I Am!"

2 Samuel 14:14
Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.

On a dim day
Maples blaze;
striking poses nearby-
a line of naked limbs,
vestures shed.
Their colors lay in disarray.

Starlings startle at my plodding,
and I thank God
for a walk in Autumn.

"But he has given proof of what he is like. He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven. He gives you crops in their seasons.
He provides you with plenty of food. He fills your hearts with joy."
Acts 14:17 (NIRV)
