Obedience

Make obedience a burden. Something to dread. Avoid. That’s what the world tries to do.

In today’s idol listings, personal fulfillment and independence rise up. Insisting we not be tied down. Or restricted by God’s commands. 

“Too many requirements,” the world says.

Mystery

Mystery. Mysterion. 

One summer night I stand on the porch.
Watching a mystery.

Heat lightning.
Light pulsating in silent, brilliant rhythm.
Illuminating massive white clouds in night sky.
I can’t tear my eyes away.
