Shimmering trails of  diamond like glory is found

in the believer where the Savior is passionately

sought and where the Word of God richly dwells!

My hope is that

anyone can pick up

and read one of my

humble poems and

find in my paltry rhymes

the hope of all the world,

Jesus Christ who is sublime!

If the world is in the church

and the church is in the world,

where then is the true church

of Jesus Christ that invites,

includes, loves, gives grace,

refuses to create suspicion

or shame about those who

love,with all their heart,

Father, Holy Spirit and Son?

May Christ be richly seen in you!

May Christ be richly seen in me.

If the world is in the church

and the church is in the world,

where then is the true church

of Jesus Christ that lavishly

and unconditionally loves and cares?
