wordpress burped big time to my dismay
humbling reminder of here today
gone tomorrow
so, now to recreate joy from horror

blog entries lost from november2007 through last april2008 entry
wordpress cleared 6 months worth of my rapping pantry

the rest of the story

sep 27 “vertigo” entry elucidated the Lord’s prayer in matthew6
last friday, ron mehl shed light on nehemiah9, the longest prayer fix
focussing the soul to praise His goodness and mercy great
in all 38 verses, how we should medidate and Him relate

just then i came across commentator paul harvey’s prayer reflecting secular incline
aired on his radio show, with “the rest of the story” tagline
here goes his wry wit
tempered with [my rhyming bit]

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance
we know Your Word says, “woe to those who call evil good,” but that is exactly what we have done [with abundance]

we have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values
we have exploited the poor and called it the lottery [dues]

we have rewarded laziness and called it welfare
we have killed our unborn and called it choice [to bear]

we have shot abortionists and called it justifiable [steam]
we have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem

we have abused power and called it politics
we have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition [kicks]

we have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression
we have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment [regression]

search us, o God, and know our hearts today
[let truths reign and please amend our way]
cleanse us from every sin [as fallen men]
and set us free, Amen!

pajaro rentrée

week ago i implored for a heavenly decree
to banish cough tickles and muscle pains, i wanna be free
like the surf scoters flying by me
like the foamy waves out on the pacific sea

it was precisely what was needed
a weekend salt-cleansing respite, my pleas heeded

rejuvenation at pajaro dunes, thanks to fine-feathered hitchcocks
a renaissance event that fed the soul and detox
celebrating kinship, goodness poured, surf&turf rocks
knocking off socks

pajaro dunes was perfect fest
to nest and rest
ride the crest

rentree to IA flock of geese
to bask in v-uplift much missed

this thanksgiving
is indeed special inning
for reflective gleaning

did you ever know that He’s my Hero
and everything i would like to be
i can fly higher than an eagle
for He is the wind beneath my wings

my sweet Lord
i really got to see U
really got to be with U
really got to know U
