Right on, Moldova!

I'll have some Peace, please.

It is a great thing to laud peace as a virtue, and entirely another to have it, to know it within you.
When you want peace, is it something you command?
i.e.:
"Hallo peace, I'm confounded. Please now, get in my brain."
and,
"Oh, there you are, peace -- I had been looking allll over for you!  Now please, don't run off on me, again.  Tbh you're great, but have been a little fickle on me.  Or is it me?  Am I doing something to drive you away?"

"Peace is experienced as we believe what the Bible says about God’s nearness as in Psalm 139:1-12, and about His goodness and power, His mercy and love for His children... But we can’t trust someone we don’t know, and it is crucial, therefore, to come to know intimately the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.

Peace is experienced as a result of prayer. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7)."

Perhaps it's really so simple as a sincere prayer away.  Even when we're uncertain 'about all that' -

It just takes the faith of a little seed
to make a way through what might seem to be
Impossibility,
And the ability will match the occasion
The outcome will defy explanation...
  (from Josh Garrels' The Resistance )

life from the heart.

God spoke grass.

Every day is like a little bit more forever.

Age of Intimacy

(less odd, anymore.)




Oh, I can see the day when we'll die
But I don't care to think of silence
For now, I hear you laughing
The greatest joy is like the sunrise

No gifts to give, they're all right here
Inside our hearts the glorious cheer
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we know inside

I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Like it's Christmas in the room

For When You Need Inspiration

(and isn't that always?)

"Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'  The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:6-8

"...the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.... The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace." Romans 8

You wait
and wait and wait

you're so patient,
you don't push.

I live for what's eternal,
and in return am given life.

I celebrate my gray hairs,
I celebrate the brown

because they're a gift from You,
and You're with me always.
Can you help me know You,
even now?  To prefer
what's last
as first?
