Inspired by "The Greatest Commandment" sermon title of Dr. Pryor November 2, 2003 Mark 12:28-34 Tradition sacrifice rules and religious calisthenics shall they keep us fit to be called His own? Do I lift my gold raise my praise with chants and rhythms of rote made phrase? Will these acts nourish my soul prove my love measure my goal? Or should I set a plumb-line by Him uplift my neighbor make life a hymn? ©November 2, 2003 When you slip into the mode of mundane When the rhythm of your chores drip and drop like rain Take a moment to step aside to gaze at the heavens and see. . . beauty ©November 2, 2003 Children come-- bring your joys, bring your smiles, bring your ears, your heart, your mind. Lift your eyes to see the path the one God sees for you, reap His lovely blessings; praise His glorious Name ©November 9, 2003 Inspired by sermon titled "Contradictory Values" by Dr. Pryor Out of Her Poverty she gives out of her poverty she lives despite her loss arms that do not move legs that do not walk now from the d.a. (devil’s advocate) what does she have to lose what can be other than gain to give her all, her life when she has no life I'd claim? Joni Ericson-Tada a modern-day donor of the widow’s mite bathes in the glory of His wondrous light a self-acknowledged vase broken yet repaired the scars of her shattering ever-present to be seen helping others know what “being whole” really means ©November 9, 2003 completed 11/27/2003 Thanksgiving Morning November 16, 2003 Inspired by "Beginnings and Endings" Dr. Pryor Mark 13:1-8 Be not led astray but let your heart burn for all He’ll convey and pray you’ll discern Labor pains grow they ebb and flow Ease and strengthen yet order will come Peace and eternity’s dawn will be born. ©November 16, 2003 November 23, 2003 Inspired by "What Is Truth" sermon title by Dr. Pryor John 18: 33-38 where do you stand where do the shadows fall from where does the illumination come a discernment of the light is it from the source or merely a skewed reflection? from the sun or the moon from the Son or a goon is it the True Light the Light that sets you free by Whom do you see? ©November 23, 2003 The Plea forgive me the depth of each nail forgive me the numbered impale and help me forgive me ©November 23, 2003 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
