Sea worthy ships

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

It is 113am on Sunday. The night is warm. I wonder if there is any chance of the rain falling tonight? I have not read the forecast. Everything comes and goes in waves. God saves. Today is already the 13th of the 4th month. They say time waits on no one. Just the other day we were celebrating the new year. Time waits on no one except God I suppose. We often speak of God's timing. I just read that God waits for all. The idea is that You are patient and willing to give everyone an opportunity to turn to You. Your desire is for all people to come to know You and be saved.

What else rhymes with waves and saves? Haves looks the part although it does not sound the part. Haves as in, "life is about the haves and the haves-not". We normally think of this in terms of material things but we should really be thinking in a spiritual sense. If we have You, dear God, we have much. What does it mean to have God? My friend Gemini tells me that having God means experiencing a profound and personal connection with the ultimate source of existence, truth, and love, and this shapes our values, purpose, and relationship with the world.

So I now have (w)aves, (s)aves and (h)aves with initials wsh and was thinking what could wsh tell me? Wsh looks like a contraction of worship and wow at how this all makes so much sense. We need wor-ship to ride the waves of this wor-ld and God saves us from drowning if we haves faith in Him. I love when language connects for me in this way. I love when I can look for deeper meaning in my own special way. God, open my eyes to see all that is good. I have a new way to see worship now. We do not have to see the sea of life with fear as long as we can worship You. As long as we build that connection with You, we will all have sea wor-thy ships and You are our lighthouse.

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Kindance

By
It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me". It is nice to give and receive kindness and do not forget to be kind to yourself. Imagine if kindness was actually kindance like guidance. My friend Chatty says that if kindness were kindance, it would be more than a good deed — it would be a gentle form of guidance. Kindance would lead the heart toward compassion, encourage goodness without force, and show that sometimes the softest acts can point us in the strongest direction. I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
