Business or Self-Employed Professional

Make it a business
Or keep it a job
Can I transition
Or continue to plod

Who am I really
What can I do
How do I fit
In eternity view

When it’s a job
The limits are great
But can I change
Or is it my fate

Are we so wired
That all is ordained
What a limited view
And so I complain

There must be more
As we open our eyes
Re-frame our world
Let vision arise

Yes we are wired
For things that we like
Things we are good at
Things that are tight

But how they fit in
We limit by sight
Assumptions we make
Block out the light

So choose to believe
You have a fine place
Always evolving
Increasing in grace

The Time That I Have

The time that I have
A most precious thing
How I deploy it
Determines all things

It’s up to me
The boundaries I set
The choices I make
Influence I let

So how do I know
The virtuous path
To be most productive
To make myself laugh

So how do I know
The values to take
To have as the guidelines
My history to make

Blowing on the sea

Today I feel your breath
Spirit of the mighty God
Your presence in my life
Desired every day

The din at times surrounds me
Challenging the flow
Of spirit, peace, anointing
Yet even then I know

I know the God
Of all there is
Author of it all
Planner of the universe
Redeemer from the fall

Partner in life and death
Secure beyond the veil
Knowing what we see each day
Your glory does it pale

Oops!

I did it again
It’s hard to believe
Screwed up big
Need grace to proceed

There is a risk
In life on earth
You hurt the ones
You most give worth

Hilton Head Sunrise - Quiet

Its been a very full time
We’ve grown some in the process
Occasionally a thought
A rhyme
A verse comes bye

Presence has been elusive
It’s peaceful now
The room is very quiet
Here is Memphis Tennessee

Hilton Head Sunrise - A good plan

Look Past the things
You do not like

Focus on the good in life

And when you do
Your soul will see
That even in the darkest sea
The long-term plan is good for me

Hilton Head Sunrise - Personal effectiveness

Shame is there
Against our goal
Who are we Our self to hold
Accountable
For who we are
and what we do

Yet fruit comes forth
By seeds we plant
And grace is their
For what we can’t

Hilton Head Sunrise - Remembering a Quiet time

I miss the time
For writing verse
In touch with the king
As we converse

Feeling no pressure
Of time or place
Suspended in
A field of grace

Nothing to fear
Or care to take
For all is ordered
In his wake

For all is ordered
In his wake
