Church

Church
A political place
Filled with fakes
Who gather in the same place
Every Sunday morning
And listen to sermons
While thinking
This is for the sinner next to me
Where prayers are used
To keep the service flowing
Getting people on and off stage
Where there is never enough people
For child care and children’s church
At the same time
The younger generation of Christ followers
Is slowing dying off
This is the American Church…
Won’t you join us?

Pens and Pencils

Dear God,

I’ve given you the pen
To write my love story

It was easy giving it to you
Because I don’t like pens

Pens are too permanent
I prefer pencils

While you have been holding the pen
I have been holding onto my pencils

And I’ve found myself dreaming
Doodling and erasing 

Thinking, no damage has been done
Nothings permanent, it will erase

But I see now
That’s not the point

It’s not my life
But yours

It’s about waiting and trust
Not wanting and lust

So I will give you my pencils
With my doodles and dreams

And trust that you

Will write my love story
