#28

the map on the wall is starting to look like
poorly hung wallpaper.
the pictures, too
are slowly creeping down.

looks like its time
to move again.

somedays I wish I knew
my zipcode
without checking
my license.

#27

I just don't want to be
Left out.

Every day needs an adventure.
Sometimes, I get jealous of the
Other opportunities.
Comparing.

And my skills can only keep up with my
Experience.

Mountains.
Rivers.
Marriages.
There are some adventures you just can't solo.

Give me the right perspective
When I'm running trails alone.
Remind me where value is born.

#26

The hours fall away
You don't notice, til they're gone
While we are talking

#25

What if morning came
And nobody was ready,
Clinging to the night?

#24

when do you know?
or do you just go
and see what happens?

#23

"Did I miss the battle?"
"No, son. You missed the war."

Are we asleep while the war wages?
Do we listen to Your Spirit
or just our sages?

Renew our passion, lit by You.
Fill us with Yourself.
There's work to do.
Come, Spirit.
Send fire.
Send rain.
Water dry ground, make us thirsty again.

Root us in Your Word.
Make us strong for any storm.
Keep us steadfast as we trust You.
Keep us faithful as we love.

Wake us up in this battle.
Never let us miss the war.
With the cross always before us, remind us what we're
fighting for.
