Risen Every Day


 Barb recently said she wished the cancer would go away.

Yes, but there are blessings in the situation, some unseen, and I would not want the good things to go away.

It's hard, both physically, and walking the tightrope over the pit of despair, but...

I raise my eyes unto the hills
whence myriad blessings flow.
All of this is as God wills,
and by His will I go
down these roads of blood and pain,
dread sessions in the dunny
(where for hours I remain...
OK, that's kind of funny),
but through it all He lifts me up
and holds me to His golden heart,
gives blood-wine communion cup,
and with this He makes me part
of the timeless victory 
He won for me at Calvary.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is PURSUE.

Auto-spell tried to convince me it was PURDUE...

I did not pursue admittance 
to the college of Purdue,
and the regents said Good Riddance
and they thought that they were through 
with that threat that I presented 
to their staid and quiet life,
but then the hand of God was entered,
and I got an Indiana wife,
and therefore I was forced to choose
a place of higher education 
where I could become the news,
a pub-wrecking thuggish sensation,
but the faculty could take their ease
when I blew my SATs.

Yeah, well, five minutes, what are you gonna do?

Ice cream, says Syl. Don't forget the ice cream.

We All Make Misteaks (Tell His Story)


 This was written last week, when I thought I had messed up the Inlinkz timing.

But, you know, I was only wrong once in my life, when I thought I had made a mistake, and it turned out I hadn't.

God sure does not make mistakes,
but you can bet I do,
but hey, there, baby, that's the breaks,
and would you believe I blew
the linkup time for Tell His Story
(last week's link is still alive).
and thus I am not wreathed in glory,
but be sure I will arrive
with a Tell His Story link
early upon Wednesday's morn
when the sky is fading pink
and a new day will be born
upon which you can link to great
folk you find here, one day late.

Sylvia, don't roll your eyes like that. They'll get stuck.
