On my mind

Kelly on my mind
Cecil on my mind
Randall on my mind

If we kill people
For killing people,
Should we rape people
For raping people?

Or beat people
For beating people?

Destroy more property
For destroying property?

Take an eye
For an eye?

Do we retaliate
Or rehabilitate?

Are we protecting ourselves
Or punishing others?

Does violence
Beget violence?

Does peace
Beget peace?

I wonder

I pray

Amen

Today

Today
I drove through rain and wind
I got angry
I got sad
I got scared
I got better

Today
I led worship
I got nervous
I got convicted
I got forgiven
I got to sing

Today
I was running behind
I fixed my WiFi
I fixed printer connection
I fixed insufficient ink
I fixed my mind on God

Today
I lived life
I got up
I got showered
I got dressed
I got things done

Today
While frustrating at times
Was a productive day
Was an educational day
Was a contemplative day
Was a good day
