graveyard shift, overnights, Poetry, random thoughts
*Note: Several years ago I worked for Kinko’s Copies – they no longer exist so I can use their name. I wrote a lot in those days. I frequently carried a sheet of paper around in the really awful aprons they forced us to wear. I would fold up a sheet and cover it with random thoughts or ideas whenever something struck me – not all of it constitutes “poetry” as such. What follows are some of the things I wrote on a random night at some point between 1993 and 2007. The pictures are the originals, they include things that I am not typing out – feel free to check them out and let me know what you think.
And now, without further ado I present “Poems from the graveyard”

Ever been in the middle of conversation with someone and they’re going on and on about something they want to do but won’t or can’t for a thousand reason that you’ve heard a million times?

Guest Post
Good evening PADAG readers, a blogging friend of mine wants to give you free eBooks.
Jeremy Myers at Till He Comes.org covers deep theological topics in such a way that is not above people’s heads, are easy to understand and can be entertaining.
Reading his blog has opened my eyes to several different ways to practice our faith and see things from a perspective that I am not always exposed to. After spending time reading Jeremy’s posts I have been exposed to many other writers I might not have found and I feel I have grown over the last year or so as a result.
Simply follow the link to his site – there is another one right here – and sign up for his newsletter. He’ll send you a copy of one of his books immediately PLUS he gives all his subscribers a copy of all his new books when they come out AND he’s got a new book coming out – “Put the Service Back into the Church Service” – in a couple weeks – so you’ll get two books in just a short time.
Head over and help support Jeremy, learn something and get free stuff !

forgivness, God, God's Grace, grace, Jesus, mercy

How do you know the heart in me; when I hardly know it myself?
How do you love me so completely, when I cannot let go?
How do you know just what to say when I’m about to cry?
How do you know what the answer is and I do not know why?

Bible, Fear, God, Jesus, Worry

OK, so, I worry. I worry all the time. I worry about the things I can control, sort of. I worry about the things I cannot control – which are most things.
I worry that I will never have a job I even remotely like. I worry that I will always feel inferior at the J-O-B I currently trudge through every day. I worry that I have missed every opportunity God has placed before me. I worry that people won’t like me if they know the things about me that God already knows.
I worry that people will not read this or the next 59 posts.
I worry that people will not laugh.
Did I say I worry? Boy was that an understatement.

Don’t you just love the “prosperity” gospel? It is so motivating and full of hope and joy.
That is until you realize that you’re not getting the things you’ve been told you’ll get.
Wait, where is my new car? New job? New house? The promotion that I don’t deserve in the first place?

Gifts, God, pain, Relationships, Truth

The course of things that changed forever remains forever changed.
Can you accept the unacceptable, a testament to pain.
Truth.
Rejoice you sinner, live and breathe and let your anger fly;
Return my Savior, take my hand I long to see your face.
Turn my heart back toward you and take my life away.
I give you all the gifts I have; I only ask your love.
To move, to see, to hate, to feel it’s all the same to me;
To stay, be blind, to love, to hide to simply sit and be.
Open up your mind to me so I can see the truth;
Fill me with the light of life and teach me how to share.
Drive from me the lust of life for my own selfish gain;
Revive my want to be your tool to love and serve and save.

Again I find myself in a place where I feel I need to take my fellow Christ followers to task. To remind them of all the things that Jesus said about love and forgiveness and how we seem to not want to show that to people today.
