Purging doubts, I’m fine

Millennial from the marshes and plains

Sitting at the edge of the mountains, thinking

I always wanted to climb, but it turns out

My lungs weren't made for the altitude

And I wonder whether I can stand out here

Because who knew I was so podunk

Till I tried to make small-talk with the cashier ~

"You" in a Nutshell
If you were to write a headline or tagline about yourself (think of Nike’s “Just do it” or Apple’s “Think Different”), what would it be and why?

“Run Past the Line”

I used to be a sprinter; running has shaped so much of who I am today. I learned to never slow before crossing the finish line. Run through the dang line! Push hardest at the end, and use that steam to get ahead!

Dream Reconveyed 1

A dream of night-eyed beavers

Three or more of them aflame –

Their carnival-treat tails scuffled 'cross

Busted blocks of 20th century concrete –

Buck-tooth’d spits and hisses drowned

In the sound of falling timber –

Conveyed in the hellish glow

Of the mammals' nostrils and eye sockets –

Untamed, pelts blackened by wildfire,

The colony'd reclaimed one of Man’s broken dams –

And backed me down the bone-dry spillway

Till my heels met the littered riverbed –

And so I remember the smell of mud and smoke

Regardless of whether I was ever there ~

MY NOVEL IS FINISHED!

Mily the Millennial: A Tall Tale

Book Description:

This Book Contains a Tall Tale.

The story picks up in the summer of 2001, when nearly-eight-year-old Mily Junegrass Womack-Yoder trips into a patch of Pitcher's thistle. All at once, she loses almost all her marbles and winds up with magic bugs in her brain.

The 'Clairs' -- a name Mily coined on account of the bugs' various clairvoyances -- give Mily a higher sense of awareness. With the Clairs' powers, she might just stand a chance against her family's curse of Schleprockness.

Mily's story is riddled with 'impossible' events. The most unlikely of these may seem flung into the Land of Far-Fetched. When it feels like improbability has no limit, remember this: Euchre is a game of tricks.

Braindump to Raise Confidence

I'm so close to the End.

I can feel it, right there.

It's looming straight ahead, if I can just reach.

Writing a novel is work man.

The kind that makes calloused hands.

A few tens-of-thousands of words back, I thought:

I'll never make it.

But here I am now, mere pages away.

And then.

What comes after?

Readers, I hope, at least some.

Things seem to have shaped up nicely so why...

Can't I decide what is still left unsaid?

Isn't it strange how follow-through...

Feels almost like getting letting down?

Even so, I'm here, so near it hurts.

HYPErcritical

All I want to do is write

Except I'm what you call

"Multi-passionate"

So usually I just

Burn the hell out

Get so spent I

Can't possibly free myself

To think creatively -

Ideas short-circuit

No plug ≥ No power

Rationalization says

'Guess I'll have time after'

Even when I know

I already misused my energies

Too stubborn to admit

Often

That this action is vital

To my longevity

To my wellbeing

Well to my Sense

In everything

Dear Emmanuel 2

SECOND, My Authority to Write on Behalf of the Spirit –

And just who might I be, to claim Authority of my own Word?

Truly, one who is instructed by the SPIRIT to do so.

It is the Word of my Testimony which gives me license to write freely,

Because the LORD knows my intents as well as my shortcomings,

And still the SPIRIT enlivens my hands to tell the Whole Truth.

I wonder, as one might who makes a living by writing:

How many drafts did Matthew go through?

And how many scribes might he have employed?

I am no copyist; I am an Author –

A call I have always feared,

For it is the SPIRIT’s own Craft I wield.

I did not understand my role at the start,

But Grace has been a good shepherd through age.

I am not yet wise, though I do actively aim to be kinder;

Because I recognize my Word has power,

I strive to raise chins and meet eyes

So others know I mean them no harm

When my language fails to rise to the *Occasion.

Isn’t it true that I am called to give Testimony?

For what purpose otherwise am I baptized in the WORD?

Some will definitely hear this work and shake their heads,

But then this message isn’t meant for them;

I write because it is the mode the LORD chose,

Bestowed to me with Purpose in mind:

How to describe what it’s like –

Inviting the divine SPIRIT inside

To my skeptic neighbor who thinks my ‘faith’ or ‘religion’ are well and fine

For me, but believes there’s no Science in it –

The SPIRIT didn’t charge me with convincing others of my Existence,

But said to do good in his NAME and to go tell of it.

I am urged to write by the same SPIRIT who stirs the sermons,

Where many of late have squirmed in their seats

Leaving confused and discomforted.

They are restless with repentance and none the wiser,

Mixed-up with a sense of missed context,

But unable to put their finger on Why.

Right and Wrong are not expository facts,

But become known through resolution:

Plucking Scripture from its place is therefore

Inhumane,

As well as tasteless,

Because it robs the audience of the Whole Truth –

A lot of folks don’t know what prompted the SPIRIT to say

‘This, that, and the other’

But rather trust Pastors and Leaders who read the WORD more

To provide meaningful summary and draw conclusions

Rooted in relevant Evidence from the Bible.

I write to remind You of LIVING TRUTH:

Even so withheld in our Versions,

The WORD is Unbound:

I am writing Now.

-----------END (Part 2 of 7)-----------

THIRD, My Confidence in the Gifts of the Spirit –
