a ppalling life

A godly leader just called us on to follow the Christ (God's ultimate leader)

God, thank you for our leader,

that you have now given us.

I will now be a heeder

of his requests, with no blush.

Thank you too, for his pray - ers

that we would be what you meant

when you made us; not stray-ers

off the path, for self, hell-bent.

God, we pray now your Spirit

will help us where we aren't "filled",

and your Voice, now to hear it.

Maybe we'll have to "be still"?..

.. to early "Üp", then to pray,

to keep our sense of calling,

bask in your sun's warming rays.

Jesus, save us from falling..

..falling through where we were bold,

letting fear throw out our faith.

Faith that's more precious than gold,

we will guard, and not abate.

Jesus, we hear your call to

- copy God's full forgiveness,

- serve; nothing too small to do,

- pray for all brothers/sisters.

- pray for God to send on out

harvesters into his fields;

- preach, the message with no doubt

who is boss, to whom we'll yield.

etc..

Y' ARE WAY past our ken, & your appalling calling:

My Lord, I loves “wasting time” with you;
part of me shoves ‘portant things to do
off to anoth-er time, it’s true.
But I can’t cov-er this up. I’m blue.

My “blue” is here, as a spe-cial sign,
that I do fear that you are not mine,
and I’m not yours, but a bastard child,
not loved, because your love's not that wild.

What god has done such a thing as this?
To have a son, and record it bliss
to bind oneself, and then keep one’s word;
to bring good health to such small absurd..

..and selfish pricks, like ugly bird chicks.
They say “stuff sticks”, we sure need your licks
to clean us off, both the food and poo -
what’s come from me, and what’s come from you!

Dribble, and spew, then there’s wee and poo
all comes from me. Now what comes from you?
Hugs, food and drink, and the cleaning up!
Smiles make us think that your love’s enough.

Your songs and sounds, articulation;
just being ‘round; some times dictation;
and snuggling up. Then your washing time,
and time to sup, makes life near sublime.

But most of all is your creative
woo and call, that’s more than sate-ive,
colour and smell, and the lilt of tune.
You do things well! Y’ARE our WAY, and BOON!

Marty @ 40 yrs.

Marty what's on?
What's going down?
I know there's lots on
I don't see you frown.
Forty years rolled
but seemed just like ten
the last twenty told
of Uni, family, and friends
Disciples that arrived
with whom you shared your life,
Family that's thrived:
four kids and a wife.
You've bin a good friend
right through the years
as our way we wend
with gladness, sadness, and cheers!
Cheers to our big brother
who's teaching us to
live for God and the other
as love wants us to do.
(1 Dec 2002 AD)

Marty Watson-Nifty, Fifty.

No longer a pup.
Yeah? What's goin' DOWN?
Well, it's comin' UP!
Now Marty don't frown.
About to take OFF
So, Marty What's ON?
Ian says "That's unreal".
So how do U feel?
That's half a century,
and still going strong -
not on the bench. He
has played like a song!
FIF-ty whole ye-ars
he's lived on this earth
And still it appears
what he's really worth.
If you are with me,
then please raise your beer
Let's hear from these blokes
right here, a small* cheer..
MARTY

Prioritization, Comodification, Love, & Life!

When God is not my Number One,
what have I got? What has begun?
A World of rot, so “on the run”
that it is “shot”! It’s lost it’s sun! -
- its “days” are not; and “years” undone;
no warmth, it’s lot; gravity’s spun..
..off, with light’s spot. No future fun,
if God is not my Number One!

Not just “Number”, like a machine,
“Cool cucumber” know what I mean,
faking slumber, (not very keen).
Like the Rhumba, em-passion-ing,
or child’s slumber, very trusting.
I’m not his “jumbu- ck”, he’s shearing;
neither his “lumber”; he does “Naming”,
not just “Number”, like a machine!

Number One Love. - What God must be!
Born from above humanity,
“hand in a glove”- is “he” in “we”.
Since he is love he’ll act (in me),
he won’t just shove, but make me free
to do what cov- -ers a multi-
-tude of sins’ stuff, and to pay the
price to dis-cov- -er & set free.

To a sister - in the Messiah

How does it feel Shell-
to be fifty one?
Feel like an old gell?
Or still too much fun?

Truth 'bout "Feelings" said:
"They ain't the whole deal";
but truly they've led
folk, to see more real:

We're over the hill,
and now running down.
Let's enjoy our fill,
not pout, cry, or frown..

'bout what we CAN'T do -
when there's stuff we can.
I'd like to thank you,
your kids, & your man...

..for choosing to live
(with me) in God's rooms,
& helping my "sieve" *
remember the blooms..

The bloomin' flowers,
with stories & pic's.
Bodies lose powers,
but new ones are fixed!

And thanx Creator!
-of this here old earth!
- for all that's greater
since Yeshua's birth.
XXOO Paul.
* I've got a memory like a ..., like a ... (what is that thing, like a collander ?)

Mary Christmas...

Merry Christmas! (version 1)

Did you know that Christmas celebrations are birthday celebrations?
I think most people don’t, or they’ve forgotten. One step further, is to remember the mum.
Mary Christmas! Let me remind you about her.
