"A Pleasure Indeed" [Module #144] (Luke 11:9b)

To ask or seek great pleasures are
In life for me – I’ve come this far
By asking lots of questions of
The life around, and folks I love.

An autodidact life for me
Sustains my-quest-ions, helps me see
Beneath the surface of all this
Apparent life of surface bliss.

My Scripture-probes have moved me forth
From days at school, and in the North;
Through quest in which I’ve learned so much
From life both lived and read in such –

Amazing quality of thought
In Scripture’s pages – God hath wrought
Through others living long before
Our age and stage – now through that door –

I enter into Giver-Land,
That I these folks might under-stand;
Stuck in a ditch – they’ll be okay,
For Scripture’s word had led our way.

Lord as we ask, and seek, and knock,
On Scripture’s door let not just talk
Emerge from these such-flavored words,
But acts – enriched by life we’ve heard.

Thanks Lord for this.
