Poem for the Rooftops of Iran - June 19th, 2009

Pray for Iran.

Song obsession- a la girgismelson

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?

Sorry, Friends

Hello friends...

So sorry to have neglected you and I have good reasons, I promise. And while I'm updating, I will tell you that this will be tantalizingly short because I don't really have a whole lot of time right now either. Pictures to follow

So here's what's been going on:

Home for Illinois-
Syd Graduated
Tried on Bridesmaids dresses for Lynnards wedding
Strawberry Fest
Moonburgers
Walked. A Lot.
Saw B in Cincy. Walked. A. Lot.

TheSource Visioning Session-
Saw the shrine to "Our Lady of the Snows" (which is in Belleville, Illinois, but actually took place in Alaska. Whodathunkit?)
Caught up with Timmy Rippstein, Kleinbeck and met Stew31 and hung out with Jules.
Spent time with the Lynnard in St.L

VBS-
Syd, Mom, S. Sarah and her youth, Kate all came to visit for VBS week.
Had great turnout and a great time, now, however, it looks like VBS has vomited all over my office.


What's coming up:
Here for a week (cleaning my office probably)
Gone to Colorado in an RV with the high schoolers
Here for a week
Gone to Houston with the middle schoolers
Here for 3 days
Gone to New Orleans! For NLWYC to see Krizzle and JDub et. al.
Here for 3 WEEKS
Gone to Illinois for Jenny P's wedding! (and maybe a "secret" meeting in StL)
Here for for two weeks
School starts. Summer ends.

Whew!
