rambling is certainly acceptable in these parts.

tough things
do not seem to upset my Father
but certainly bother me.
so what do i do
when nothing makes sense?
 (but really that's an exaggeration
based on frustration and fear.)

contentment surely
is something not conquered or negotiated
by what i can do
and how hard i push
or if i'm reciting my verses just right
and have control over this emotional heart

but is based entirely on perspective.

oh stop your outcry
and fear of relativism.
can't you see
(maybe this is really to myself)
that unknowns and greys are not
i repeat, are not
a threat to what we hold true.

is God not God?
i doubt the Lion and the Lamb is a push over.
now have the freedom
the diligence and the pain
the delight, the frustration
and ultimately the joy
of working out your salvation with fear and trembling.

time to enjoy the day.
