Status What?
An old church leadership saying:
"Be we high, or be we low,
The Status is the same . . . Quo."
"Be we high, or be we low,
The Status is the same . . . Quo."
If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
I LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteOnce at teen camp during my head counselor years, I was in grave danger of being dumped out of my canoe by an exuberant youth pastor. In my old age, such an event did NOT seem like fun - - - so as he approached I shouted: "Stop! Don't dump us, we have status quo!"
He looked a bit confused, turned and went to dump another canoe!
