In the Throne Room of the King

Happy Easter y’all.

Handshakes and a smile
And an open door
Into the throne room

Of the King.

Wooden pews
And stained glass windows
For the audience

With the King.

The forgiven
And the about to be
Waiting for the appearance

Of the KIng.

Yellow, white, and red
Flowers bend and bow
Before the altar

Of the King.

A choir and a song
Alleluia they sing
Alleluia, alleluia

For the KIng.

Scripture and sermon
Confession, prayer, and praise
And peace be unto you

In the Name of the King.

The bread and the wine
That was and now is
The Body and the Blood

Of the King.

Once dirty shoes
Now new hearts and clean souls
Go forth from the throne room

Of the King.

haiku for the day: circles

Sometimes life seems to run us around in circles. We quit our job. We just can’t stand the people who work there. Besides it’s a dead end. Then we go on to Job # 2. Job # 2 turns out to be Job # 1, only in a different costume.

We get a divorce. Then we meet and marry Spouse # 2. Guess what? Spouse # 2 may not be Spouse # 1. But they turn out to act to be Spouse # 1 in so many ways. Some might say we have lessons to learn. We keep yelling at the universe, “Haven’t I learned my lesson yet?”

It seems that every time we come to a fork in the road we take it.
