God is light. He doesn’t need to judge – he just needs to show up…and we are exposed. Nobody told Isaiah that he is unclean…he just saw the glory of God and was exposed. May we not feel the need to judge (“you are a sinner”) but live in such a way that sin is [...]

It has come to my attention that the first Century Rabbi Yeshua was crucified as an insurrectionist around 30 A.D. That he taught a way of love, humility, creativity and peace and that he taught people to actually live by those things. The dominant social/political/economic powers of the day stood in direct contradiction to such [...]
What of this Trash?

What God makes of this man will be a testament to His glory. For despite your prejudice, I am a fool…a deeply fractured, corrupted fool…do not be deceived. I am curious. What, Lord, can you make of me, a sinner?

I have been poisoned by the pollutants of my heart,
and so everything I ingest is spoiled.
Father, Spirit, Son,
Holy Three in one,
Take my Spirit and destroy
Everything that hell employs
To turn my eyes from simple ways,
Wasting otherwise productive days.
Give me wisdom to see my fate,
If I should on this path still wait.
Forgiveness must flow through vein,
And the [...]

Three women stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon charged with the task to reach the other side and came to a sign that had handwriting on it: “Take a step into the abyss from this mark.” Then, each of them immediately noticed the mark indicated on the ground where they all stood.
The first [...]

What bitter apathy which doth rest between the pillows of privilege,
Birthed by it’s mother injustice, and fed at the teat of oppression.
I am softly cradled by the numbing caress of luxury’s blessings,
and so suffer a spiritual narcolepsy, too drowsy and too sedated to move.
With half-open eyes I cannot tell what is real and what is [...]
