Neighbor's Baptism
My Co-worker Shared His Special Feelings, Dreams and Walk with Me Today
Alex wanted to share his born-again moments
It happened on Sunday last, on the bay
He shared so lovingly, celebrating the Sacraments
Knowing that in themselves they will not save
But Alex relived the walking of Christ as he waded
In the bay to his Pastor and assistant "transfigured" ...
His desire to immerse himself in the Word upgraded
To a burning passion, in agape fashion, pure intent
To be the kind of Christian that He explains
In the Gospel of John, among others, John 15:
Building bridges across the human divides of pain
And fears, distrust and history - hungry for wisdom
My friend elevates my interest in Seminary education
So ... I have more to do, further to walk, withhold much talk ...
For the Lord said "Many are called but few are chosen." Amen

How inspiring!
These are always good stories to hear!
Inspiring and beautiful. Just like your heart!

Thanks for sharing
Blessings and Shalom. My good wishes go with you as you pursue spreading the Gospel to others. Thank you for doing that since that brings the second coming of Christ, our Savior, that much closer.
I missed a few... having allowed that weekends will not count. But occasionally Saturdays and maybe once over the Sabbath, I did contribute a poem or haiku. Thanks for keeping in touch...Shalom Dear Greenhill, Boston Bill's great cook. BTW a company is selling Anti-Athritis gloves under its banner Dream Products Inc., from Van Nuys CA. I will email the address. Shalom
and you are certainly a chosen on Neil. My questions is - did you make your goal of one poem a day for August or did you miss one?
