Beginnings [#2] (John 1:29-2:12)
Our starting out, it’s plain to see,
Is ordinary as can be;
First-round, two pairs – for half our time –
Hot sand; long days of dust and grime.God’s timing is a central part
Of when in downward slope we arc,
Pass through the gate to Giver Land,
To life of folks then understand.An interactive walk with Christ
(Or active – passive – all are nice),
Is vital to our Spirit-walk
And ways for us of Spirit-talk.To me it’s like bobsledding run –
We wait; the signal starts the fun;
It’s down the loop, all hunkered down
Until the sled’s on level ground.We’re through the gate, the road ahead
Holds crosses three where we’ll be led;
But starting out, it’s plain to see,
Is ordinary as can be.navigation
