too smart?!?

We
Post-ENLIGHTENMENT
Christians
almost always look
for principles...
for theory...
for labels...thinking
WE gain control of
things by
labeling them...
explaining them...
sounding as if we understand them...

You, Lord,
Move Your kingdom
By a wisdom
Past
All our principles...and
All our thinking...and
All our labels...

SO...maybe
Our part SHOULD be
To look for,
To listen to,
To walk toward
Your Voice...which
Is NOT
A very enlightened
Way of seeing things at all.

Or is it?

I love this - so simple: always walk toward Jesus. =)

Amen!

Your daughter said I should check out your blog. I like that last piece on wisdom and packaging...

I'm working on a book right now that speaks directly to that issue, actually.
