Pastor Mark Gets His Wish
Hmmmmmm --a different Pastor Mark, obviously, but quite interesting, nevertheless.
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
Oh my.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Pastor Mark. This morning I was journalling about my desires and kind of wrote a little ditty about that: how God puts those desires within us and that it's HE who will make them come to pass. I have no desire to meet Alice Cooper, but love the story. Our God is FAITHFUL to accomplish our (or rather HIS) dreams. Thanks for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteOn state with Alice Cooper is his biggest dream? There's something seriously wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeletePastor Mark got his wish! That does not mean it was his biggest dream.
I am wishing for a hot fudge sundae right now, and if I got it one of my wishes would have come true.
Of course, in the great realm of things important in my life, the hot fudge sundae is nowhere near the top of my list.
