The Schedule
finally, after seventeen years
my courage stirred but shaky
I dared speak my life
a fearful man seeking guidance
un-concerned at last of other's thoughts
welcoming their correction
and was passed over
a slip of paper with a schedule
too hard a taskmaster
to allow even this diversion
within the courts of God
so close
yet so infinitely far
At bible study recently I raised my questions
on personal healing, needing healing. We had
some spirited discussion on the topic. Yet after
a minute or two we were guided back onto our
study. I think It would have been appropriate to
have extended the discussion, perhaps again
to experience the grace of God.
Who knows what could have happened?
