Subtly hilarious because it sounds a bit too familiar...
I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please, not enough to
explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm
milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I
don't want enough of Him to make me love a black man or pick beets with a
migrant. I want ecstasy, not
transformation; I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper
sack. I would like to buy $3 worth of
God, please.
Wilbur Rees
$3.00 Worth of God

I Relax I Feel Guilty, by Tim Hansel, 1981, David C. Cook Publishing Co.

| Good Friday, April 6, 2007
So, here I am
Drowning in my thoughts and fears
Unable to reach out
So, here I go
Walking in Watts
Venturing out
(where am I going?
I do not know the way)
So, here they come
Asking to walk with me
Can I say no?
So, here we go
They, loud and fearless
Me, timid and full-of-fear
Reluctant
(why am I walking the streets of Watts at 6pm unsure of where the rest are?)
So, here I stand
Seven kids thrust into my hands
Where is the rest of the team?
What shall I do?
Where shall I go?
(Continual aimless walking seems not the best choice)
So, the phone rings
There they are!
Here comes one!
To walk with us
Much..to...my...relief.
So, here we go
More confident
At least, for me
And here we arrive,
Everyone together,
Safe, at last
In the refuge of the World Impact Center
**breathe in**breathe out**
To hear the story of
The ultimate rescue
And the ultimate Rescuer--
Much to my...relief--
It's a good thing, Lord -once in a while- to be reminded--
I am not in control.
But You are.
Thank You.

who would've guessed...most are for random criteria, ie. if you're from Iowa, you're a shoo-in...alas, such is not the case...but they have other ones, like Bohnett Memorial Fund and a writing competition by the Amy Foundation, "designed to recognize creative, skillful writing that presents in a sensitive, thought-provoking manner the biblical position on issues affecting the world today."
