Instructions Before Reading

I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.

I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.

Peeing Before the Throne of Grace

Wee toddlers,
standing before the great white throne,
swords drawn,
prepared to fulfill their God-given purpose.

We unskilled swordsmen
dream of an aim, someday true.
But now we are jealous
of the three year old
who leaves only a drip or two
on the snow white seat;
while we stand in puddles
–evidence of a stream of failure.
