The first two were written before the sermon and the third during the sermon. I added quite a bit to the 2nd one after arriving home. That God-shaped Space Virginia Salter there’s within all in creation a God-shaped space waiting to be filled a place of want a place of needing a vacuum abiding for God-love spilled poured out, pressed down jamb-packed with caring immeasurable to a gleaner’s knowing love to empower provide clear seeing with eyes drenched deep in His wondrous glowing © March 18, 2001 Clarify My Life, O Lord Virginia Salter clarify my life, O Lord verify just who I be make some sense of my vision illuminate this face I see reflections seem so two-dimensional when gazing in my mirror more deeply is my need of understanding reveal this creature standing here bare my soul if it need be to know this one you chose to bless help me tithe a bit of living that I may share your sweet caress if it be words that you would lay upon my heart, upon my ears help me know just how to live them erasing pain and drying tears © March 18, 2001 His Perfect Loving Virginia Salter He gave His teaching He gave His promise His hands blessed with miracles Love indwelt His very being yet those who followed stumbled often for weakness kept its fingerhold then at that hour He ceded arms allowing pain and stripes endure that by His love His perfect loving we’d come back, through Him, to pure © March 18, 2001 I'm not very satisfied with the 3rd piece yet. Ideas? |

I really enjoyed these. I'm not knowledgable enough to teach anything about poetry, but the last word, "pure," I'd rather see "redeemed" or something to the effect of, made righteous.  Thanks for sharing them. Rae |

These are lovely and short and sweet. I'm sure you could have been doing less gainful things during the sermon. Love Joyce |

Well, Joyce, two of the poems were inspired by events and devotionals before the sermon and the last one presented here was written during the sermon titled: On a Hill Far Away. So, hehehe, I was listening to the service and taking these poems away with me. I write every Sunday and send copies to the pastor or whomever delivers the message that day. So, yes I could be doing less gainful things. Thanks for reading and your sweet comment. |

How wonderful to be so inspired while attending church and sharing your messages with others. It's a sermon unto itself! Betty Lou Hebert |
