Why should I put off the putting off I can put off today?
Could I be accused of being a put on?
Of course.
I put on Christ this morning.
Now, I know Im not putting Him on right just yet.
He wants to fit me intimately and I want to pull him loose in some places.
He is so perfect. So utterly beautiful.
Why in the world would you condescend to let me put you on?
Your love is for real.
I do it because you told me to.
You never hold it against me when I dont do it quite right.
You gave me so many different voices in your book.
My favorite is the woman at the well.
She is me.
You told her if shed known who you were, shed have asked you for an eternal flowing river of liquid thirst quencher that cleanses yesterday as it refreshes today.
Well.
I heard what you told her!
At the well.
Im learning to be insistent in my quest to be unquenchable for your love.
Im selling my field to buy a pearl of great price.
Irritating grit, grain of sand, covered with a moon glow of healing to protect the oyster.
You still give yourself willingly to such as me.
How I thank you for that love.
I remembered to put it on.
Help me with all this putting off.
We have to write a letter.
What do you want to say to the two of us?
How can I honor the honor you give the woman at the well?
I expect you really wanted to speak to her husband.
Instead she brought back the whole town.
Hehehehehehe
Your love and wisdom sparkles with a brilliance diamonds envy in their cloudy windowpane existence.
Pearls, diamonds, none compare!
NONE
I saw a so-called Hope diamond once.
Little piece of grit.
We dress ourselves up with the grit of this world.
And think its beauty makes us beautiful
or it's ascribed value displayed on our person gives us greater worth
How silly.
Only your love, poured out and pouring can make us truly beautiful.
Only your love, gives worth and value to temporal temples for eternity
I pray for our President. I weep for the man. He is but a man. But, Ive seen the angel that gives him an ear.
It IS an enormous eagle.
I will bless you, Mr. President.
They didnt mention any stones at that well of refreshing I visited this morning.
Im so glad.
Too busy coating my grit with living words to pick up stones.
I could go for a good buttery bowl of grits some day soon though.
And bacon. 08/30/2006
Author's Note: Very rough draft.Very. Gotta work on it more later.
ok. so I worked on it a little. Now I'm bored with it. Just leaving it as is.
