My blog gets about 10 to 15 hits a day on the average. I like to add something regularly because you aren't going to check in if it never changes. The last couple of weeks I was flooded with good ideas for poems. The last several days I have been so snowed under that my creativity has been hampered by my schedule. It's Wednesday already.
The last poem I posted was written for my sermon at Trenton last Sunday. I will be preaching at Avondale this Sunday and I'm going to share a poem that I wrote many months ago. That means I will not be working with a sermon for a poem idea to hit me that way.
There are poems in my mind. I have one about the woman at the well. She was there alone because the other women didn't include her. That one hasn't began to bloom yet. I want to do one about muscle memory but it's far from being ready.
While I wait, let me say that I'm having fun! My beginning with the Paradise Church has me very excited. I've only preached there once but I will be attend VBS tonight. I communicate with leaders from the church on a regular basis through the good old email. I will be helping lead a grandparent/grandchild camp at Wilderness from Monday through Wednesday night week. I have a Camino coming up in August. I keep very, very busy these days.
I hope you will be checking in on a regular basis. I'm sure there will be some good poems (he said humbly) on the way. On those times when the poetry is sparse I will share some thoughts with you.
Today is the only day you have to serve God. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I pray that God will inspire you and use you to help spread the love which Jesus demonstrated while he walked the face of the earth. GetRdone!

You are sure a busy person for being retired---I have not written but have kept your book on my coffee table and pick it up often just to re read the poems.
Oh, is the church in Trenton the one where Berry Boulware is now or is it the other church.
Berry was at Francis Street in St. Joseph when John's father died this next week in 1986----Berry had his services.
I'm glad you are enjoying he book.
Yes, Barry is the pastor there. It was fun to be with him.
Things are very busy now but I keep thinking I'm going to catch up. I am enjoying the Paradise Church.
