Endymion

 Quietly endures

Without anger or reproach

Suffering for my sake.


Takes my hand

Leading me forth

Safe from each burning place.

A Life Of God-Worship ( MATTHEW 6)

Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all weapons across his knee. "Step out of the traffic! Take a long loving look at me. your  h igh  God. above politics above everything." Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protect us. Eugene H. Peterson Changed by what we see?
