“To Prototype That Paradigm” [Spanish And Photography Series]

“Stu, prototype for all, that paradigm –
“Apostle” piece – try out that task sublime,
Not as a boss, but “boundary-jumping” type –
‘How minister in modern world aright?’”

Lord, we’re all mixed, with languages galore;
I’d seen in part – “Apostles could use more”;
But I’d not seen, “Whose language is it now?”
Which changes things – I’m starting to see how.

“How many languages?” is just a part
Of ministry – Apostleship is art
In all its forms – conveying words from You;
With You; to You – shared common point of view.

Now I can see how Babel can still be
Creative force – no probs for us in Thee –
It slows us down when we’re out on our own;
Released in You, when Kingdom is our home.

I had not seen (though sensed it to be true),
“Photography is language – it’s of You”;
“Let there be light”– mind blowing, yes indeed –
All language Yours – in that so much is freed.

It matters not what languages we speak,
For all are Yours, designed each need to meet;
Lord open up my heart, and tongue, and voice,
That I may speak through languages of choice –

Not just to me, but chosen as You said –
Ezekiel’s tome – in Sandy Lake I read –
“Not to a people of strange tongue and ways,
But to your people – speak throughout your days.

“Your grandpa’s right – use media as well;
It cuts across all boundaries to tell
Folks of the Kingdom – molenillo’s pin –
Relief for all from pinwheel’s endless spin.

Thanks Lord for this.
