Changes, And A Request

 First, the request... I will take over the hosting of the Tell His Story blog linkup in November. Jeanne Takenaka has done a stellar job for many years, and these are some awfully big shoes to try to fill.

I've never used Inlinkz in my blog, and so am testing what I understand about its functioning below, with a trial linkup. Could you use it (the button follows Sylvia's pictures) and link a favourite post of yours? I'd be deeply grateful.

This isn't something I expected to be doing; it requires a different approach, both in subject and style. I'll do my best.

And no, I WON'T be leaving Five Minute Friday.

Changes come and changes go,

and I must learn new ways to fly

as I shout Look Out Below!,

falling, falling through the sky.

But this is by Lord God ordained

(that, at least, is current rumour),

and it's His way to see me trained

to preserve my sense of humour,

but how now can I meet this test

of an erstwhile leadership?

Perhaps it should just do my best

and let God's words just through me rip

and trust that He will guide my pen

to the very last Amen.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is ANTICIPATE.

Anticipation, ain't it great

to see what things become?

And even as it makes you wait,

you still are having fun

looking ahead with eager eyes,

and wondering what shape it takes.

Will it come in some disguise,

and how high will be the stakes

in asking ever more from you,

more than you thought you could give?

Could it be, could this be true

that this is how we're meant to live

through our fleeting earthly story,

anticipating Heaven's glory?

Three minutes.

Will Heaven ask much from us? Will we be challenged?

I think, yes. What's your take?

Sylvia thinks I'll do just fine.
