Lord Willing. The phrase that pesters.

Pastor stood up there

Looked straight ahead to them

Said to them.

'I stand here only by God's mercy

His protection  provision.

Wisdom and solace.

Second and third

And however many chances.

Stabilizing Hand in storms.

Had a bundle of them, Guys.'



I sat about half way back

Sighing, grimacing, doubting.

BUT the very next day

Had one hellish batch

Of horrible events and attacks.

Life can get like that.

Singing Pastor's Tune now.

And leaning, yes leaning

On the Everlasting Arms.

Each Day for itself.
