I walk this awkward tightrope between talking too much about stuff that doesn't matter, and keeping in the stuff that does. Warning: this blog may include Jesus, Fire (pronounced: FiYAH), and swear words. May also be confusing. Read at your own risk.

court jester
telling me one place
meaning another
giving me a taste
then taking it away
maybe you aren't a trickster
but you sure are a tease
telling me to go in faith
to leave everything I need
well here I am
flirting with a place
from two islands away
I fell for it like a sucker.
You had my attention
you gave your commandment
I came and as soon as I got a taste
you changed my palette
silly me
for thinking I had any idea what you meant
now my imagination is flowing
possibility surrounds me
potential is looming
maybe this is just another stand up routine
maybe I'm just a punchline
or maybe you aren't joking.

Beggar Man
What would they do if you walked into church?
Would they recognize you from the highway?
Would they remember what your sign says?
Would they mutter “honey don’t stare!”
Would they scoot away if you sat in their row?
Would they hold your hand during prayer?
Blind Man
What would they do if you walked into church?
Would they quickly look away?
Would they hug you during greeting time?
Would they offer to help you find a seat?
Would they count their ‘blessings’?
Adulterous Woman
What would they do if you walked into church?
Would they turn their noses up?
Would they scoff as they watch you pray?
Would they cover the eyes of their children?
Would they hold on tighter to their husbands?
Son of Man
What would they do if you walked into church?
Would they forget their status?
Would they act like children and stare?
Would they run up to you for prayer?
Would they beg for healing?
Would they remember their sins?
Would they leave their row to sit in yours?
