“The Hockey Game Of Life” ([Spanish Bible Series - Colosenses Sub-Series #2 (3:18-4:1)][FBC presentation]
As we are approaching Labor Day
And slavery (all work, no pay)
No longer cuts it in our land
I wonder how to understand –Paul’s words of caution on this page
“Obey” round here gets folks enraged
In any context, so I guess,
It’s “Right and fair” that might be best –To focus on – to keep it light,
And family-friendly for the tykes;
Though, “Jesus as our boss” is cool,
As we return to work and school –For as a boss, He is the best –
Works endlessly (one day of rest),
And bids me imitate His ways,
Laid out in what the Scripture says.I asked the Lord (the “Boss”), in prayer,
How best to understand “Be fair”
And “Right” – what would suffice each day?
He told me of a power-play –“View Brandon as a hockey town –
Ten panels of the boards go ’round
The ice in which you play the game,
As Ten Commandments – much the same.“Out on a lake where one can skate,
Go anywhere, you can’t partake
In hockey game without some boards,
Or you’ll chase pucks long afterwards.“So, for a tighter, faster, game,
Ten panel-boards contain the range
Of actions (those out on the lake
Are free to wander off and skate –“Ten panels help the game along –
Take one away, that puck is gone!
That’s what the Scripture’s saying, friend,
’Bout ‘right and fair’ – you comprehend?”Thanks Lord for this.
