Poem: Message in a Bottle

I have been known to write poetry on occasion. Below is a poem I wrote years ago. I was thinking about prayer and our attitude/approach to prayer. Sometimes we treat prayer as a message in a bottle–something we never really expect to be answered. I thought about this and the imagery of James 1:6 as I wrote.

Message in a Bottle

I put a message in a bottle
Threw it in an ocean wave
I imagine it will not be read
My troubled soul it will not save

For it must travel many miles
Through many perils it must pass
No wind or sail to aid its journey
Just a vessel made of glass

So I said nothing too important
And I wrote no urgent plea
For I imagine that my message
Shall be lost in this great sea

COMING SOON!

7 Questions for 2007: Evaluate yourself! Make 2007 a breakthrough year! I’ll be preaching this message on January 7th 2:00 p.m. at Convergence (6th floor Joshua Center; Taft Ave across from PGH). For those who can’t come hear the sermon I’ll also be posting a devotional on the blog.

Blog articles in February (or perhaps late January)
