SIMPLE POEM

By -
This here is a simple poem I started up last
year based on that scary verse there; well,
not so scary if you know the One calling.


PRESS ON


Past behind,

Prize ahead;

Shepherd calling:

Come home again.



Sorrow behind,

New joy ahead;

Savior calling:

Come closer friend.



Sin behind,

Purity ahead;

Sovereign calling:

Count yourself dead.



Old life behind,

New Life ahead;

Son of God calling:

Come live again!

I THINK

Think on These Things One of the tragic casualties of our age has been that of the contemplative life--a life that thinks, a life thinks things through, and more particularly, thinks God’s thoughts after Him. A person sitting at his or her desk staring out the window would never be assumed to be working. No! Thinking is not equated with work. Yet, had Newton under his tree, or Archimedes in his bathtub, bought into that prejudice, some natural laws would still be up in the air or buried under an immovable rock. Pascal’s Pensees, or Thoughts, a work that has inspired millions, would have never been penned. What is even more destructive is the assumption that silence is inimical to life. The radio in the car, Muzak in the elevator, and the symphony entertaining callers "on hold" all add up as grave impediments to personal reflection.
