"To Mentor Level Two"

The problem with such mentorship as Jesus put in play,
Is level-two, His shift to twelve from two pairs in that day;
For now it’s mentor mentors, that’s a whole new ball of wax,
Requiring them to learn some skills beyond the basic facts.

Good thing they’re well along the road, (perhaps just three of four),
For they have healthy lead on them, and growth will give them more;
But wiring is quite different for each mentee in your nest;
So “Tailor-made” is how to go – augment God’s views of best.

Lord, “Seven” point was scary as I tried it on for size;
Accelerator turbo-boosts one’s actions to the skies;
I used to live along that plain, then learned to quiet down;
Speed scares me now as I go forth especially in this town.

But what I see outside this place is young folk coming up;
A business scene that’s changing so that old folks have it tough;
I scoffed at thoughts of those who cannot change, cannot adapt;
Yet look at me – in Meadowland – am I not just like that?

I’m hearing, “Yes, that’s Meadowland and why it’s key to you;
It’s not that it is terminal, it’s focus-point for Stu;
You must go deep, or high, at least fill up your Meadowland –
If you’re to move, and live, and grow, best to come to understand.

Not under-stand, but understand, engage with what is real;
Enough of all this flitting ’round, take out your blade of steel;
For with this prep-work you have done in Me, with Kingdom-layer,
You’re now freed up to earn your bread – on grounded side of prayer.

Lord, I did note on AT page, Lemieux – and my response,
That section was now shaping up – a bit, not all at once,
But slowly it was paying off, this segment was sublime;
And best of all, reworked it was – from ore veins I had mined.

So here we are – augmented text with process-input there;
And content backed behind a dam, a treasure-trove for care;
Lord, help me not to pick this up, and dissipate some more;
“Stu, that’s why Meadowland is there, and that’s what it is for –

“Geography on Kingdom-layer is part of who you are;
It’s inside, not outside of you, so you can wander far,
Or stay located in that place, irrelevant it is;
Just buckle down and do your part – for you, that’s land of biz.

Thanks Lord for this.
