    my heart longs to make art
    it’s the soul balm
    I am needing
    layered alongside that though
    is family business paperwork
    waiting for me To Do
    trying to balance my time
    weighing heart cry vs. duty

    I called the 1-800 number
    the one atop this bill
    seemed wise to double check
    ‘cause I thought I’d maybe paid it
    handwritten check register read:
    #9988 2/27/13 $389.90
    the total due matched right up
    answered the automated questions
    by typing on the phone
    was given a second number
    for “facilities business office”
    a person answered right away
    gave ‘em the account number
    they replied with a human voice:
    “Zero Balance”
    “Paid In Full”

    what beautiful words those are
    just like Jesus on the cross
    who forgives us
    over and over
    BIG TIME
    sinners saved by grace
    a gift freely given
    all we are To Do is ask

    “Amazing Grace”
    was played across radio waves
    this very morning too
    I sang along and cried
    I almost always do

  2. personal correspondence

    Thank you, God
    for sending your only Son
    to die on the cross for me,
    a sinner,
    saved by grace.
    Love,
    Janean

  3. birds are chirping clock is ticking sun has yet to rise completely, though the backyard is brightening church begins at 10:00 today the parking lot will be full that’s A Good Thing and A God Thing as the pews are packed to hear the greatest story ever told a baby born to a virgin living a sinless life while working miracles on Earth before dying on the cross for our sins and on the third day the Son rose completely that we may have eternal life in Heaven if we just believe on these things the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord for He is risen the stone was rolled away the tomb is empty today is all about singing Hallelujah

    birds are chirping
    clock is ticking
    sun has yet to rise completely,
    though the backyard is brightening
    church begins at 10:00 today
    the parking lot will be full
    that’s A Good Thing
    and A God Thing
    as the pews are packed
    to hear the greatest story
    ever told
    a baby born to a virgin
    living a sinless life
    while working miracles on Earth
    before dying on the cross
    for our sins
    and on the third day
    the Son rose completely
    that we may have eternal life
    in Heaven
    if we just believe on these things
    the birth, death and resurrection
    of Jesus Christ, our Lord
    for He is risen
    the stone was rolled away
    the tomb is empty
    today is all about singing
    Hallelujah
