Experience

Be patient with youth -

They've yet to realize the joy

In hard work done well

 

Judges 21:25

Kingless Israel -
In those days, everyone did
Right ... in his own eyes.

Exposed

People are messy-
So we hide safely behind
Cold Facebook sound bites

Insecurity

Still employed for now
Looking over my shoulder;
I wonder who's next?

Job 2:9-10

Job's wife: Curse God; Die!
Shall we take God's good; not bad?
Job's words bore no sin.

Matt 17: 24-27

Holy mackerel!
Fishy friend paid the tax for
Pete and the King's son.

Ephesians 2: 8-10

It's not you… it's faith
A gift of God - not by works
Lest anyone boast

We're God's workmanship
Formed in Christ to do good works
He chose in advance
