God died in 68

God die in 1968
the only god I knew
laying on the floor
lifeless
to be no more
A mountain of a man
protector
ruler of the land
in his arms
I was safe
in his presence
protection placed
O' what a happy face
God died in 68.
his passing brought chaos
life changed
all was lost
lack of his guidance
calamity came
life destroyed
never the same
God died in 1968
Miss you Grandpa!

What it takes!

It is those, who enter the door and plunge head first into the vastness that is the Holy God, without reservation or hesitation, consumed by Love and Grace. It is those who wade out into the Ocean that is God and let themselves be swept away by His mighty current, into the deep depths, unaware of depths, embracing God on every side, they see nothing else but Jesus, unaware of the vast distance back to shore, knowing only of the Holiness of God. It is those who abandon everything completely, to follow, never turning back, never looking back, focused on the Shepherd, only hearing His voice and responding with Joy, and Life. Those are the ones that draw people to the Cross, those are the warriors in sweet surrender to the King. The Light shining bright for all to see.
