learning

business



Oh God, how do I walk with you in learn-

-ing how to help the people whom you love,

while some are also close to fire that’s burn-

-ing, & that’s likely to be caught or shoved..


that’s shovelled onto those who come close up

(& anyone who aids them must come close).

I see the problem, but because the cup

you share with us, connects us to a dose


of you, yourself, your probiotics too,

the scent that’s on the breath you sent for life

to be sustained in us, you’re like trees who

breathe out the oxygen that we need rife,


then they can keep on making food and fuel,

from our breathed CO² which then they use.

This ecosystem thing need not be tool

of selfish-gene, it might just be confused.


I want to be accepting of good pay,

(& be a workman worthy of it too).

But not be ikey, charging all the way

for what can be got through this oppor-chew


-nitty that’s nitty gritty stuff alive,

well spoken of, as we seek grace and peace,

where peace means true Shalom (which means to thrive)

And grace makes graceous, and brings sweet release…


To be about my Father’s business in

this day, while we know that you like to do

this kind of thing, that smells like a nest in

the land where we now live, right here with you!

good man busy

G'day. Hope you are doing well bro. Sounds like you are flat out. 

.....................


Oh God, please help that man and his good wife

to do all that he can (amidst the strife)

to rest himself in sleep-ing ev'ry night

upon you though he's weep-ing in the light


of your strong and crea-tive love that brings

more options that might make a sane heart sing

so long, and clear and strong

that grief though come

must be devoured and eaten, not made numb.


Till joy is overflowing even in

the tough times when we know that there's some sin,

a-lurking nearby to eat us up

we're made by him not shy to drink that cup…


because he’s right with us, we can do all

that he might ask of us, we need not fall,

at least we needn’t stay that way each day

we may stand up and pray, and learn his way!


Hallel-u-yah, you yah.., you yah!

is Don...


Is good.
2nd Nov 2026
Hi Paul, we've just heard that Don Carpenter passed away peacefully this morning. No other details. Thought you'd like to know. Maybe you've already heard. Richard & Dorothy

Thanks. I hadn't heard before your message. Thank you for passing it on. Lovely that it was peaceful. Wow. 


Oh God, we're glad that you just simply love 

your children, and your insight's so complete.

You help us by  your spirit (serpent/ dove)

to not harm & to wisely be discreet.


So, thanks for that ol' bloke, Don Carpenter,

his heart to still be loyal unto you,

and live under authority, deter-

-ring habits and traditions that aren't true.


And even when mistaken  in some thought,

we see it doesn't matter at the end,

for trust in you brings peace that is not fraught,

but gentle careful love, as with a friend.




sickness stops some



Oh Lord, please make a way for good things to
be poured on lady, daughter, and her son.
And keep on giving your lambs ways to do
your love and friendship which are very "fun"!

Arc-angel

ol' chap



God help your boy to keep in step with you,

and with his lady there, and others too

within the body of the Christ of God.

We're very glad that you with us have trod!


And we would tread with him, and follow close,

not just commands but  hopes that you disclose.

Your dreams, and what you're building where you are,

Lord Jesus, head, and our bright morning star!


(Which might be our old sun, itself a source).

And we reflect, as moons to earth, of course,

the light we get ourselves reflected from

the sunshine of your love and peace. That bomb


of nu-cle-ar proportions that would pow'r

these tiny little lives from hour to hour

and make our hearts to sing, at times so strong

that lives of yours might grow deep, if not long.


And we are yours; and you are ours; you said..

our god, our source of light, and life. You shed

your love & truth to ev'ryone who’ll bow

to enter grief as you have, thus somehow


it’s only those who love the truth or would 

be made so that they'll truly love what’s good

and not be sidetracked by strange shiny things

but keep our hearts and minds focussed, and sing


so that your harmonizing might chime in, 

and bring dimensions deeper. Fam’ly’s win

and reach and fill our longings deeper than

those who just twist and misuse what they can.
