Keeping true faith to Polonius, who famously noted that the soul of wit is brevity, herewith the wittiest poem ever penned in the US, and possibly in the English language:

"Pouring ketchup from the bottle, "None'll come, and then a lot'll."

-- Ogden Nash

Uh, oh. I screwed up. That couplet can't POSSIBLY be a poem because A) it rhymes and B) its metric structure is consistent.

My apologies.

Happy March, Amy!

Windy up here today and it looks like no rain. If the rain starts again I’m gonna have drain some water from the pool.

Sunrise
March 1, 2014

Read: Exodus 3:1-12

Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight.” —Exodus 3:3

Bible in a Year:
Numbers 23-25; Mark 7:14-37

There was a magnificent sunrise this morning, but I was too busy to enjoy it. I turned away and became preoccupied with other things. I thought about that sunrise a few moments ago, and I realize I lost an opportunity for worship this morning.

In the midst of the busyness and stresses of our days, there are patches of beauty all around us, glimpses of God’s goodness that we catch here and there along the way. These are the places in the walls of the universe where heaven is breaking through—if only we will take the time to stop and to reflect upon God’s love for us.

What if Moses had taken only a fleeting glance at the bush that was burning but “was not consumed”? (Ex. 3:2). What if he had ignored it and hurried on to other things? (He had those sheep to take care of, you know, and important work to do.) He would have missed an epic, life-changing encounter with the living God (vv.4-12).

Sometimes in life we must hurry. But overall, life should be less hurrying and more noticing. Life is the present. Life is being aware; it is seeing God’s love breaking through. It is turning aside to the miracle of something like a sunrise. Something transitory, yet symbolic of the eternity that awaits us.

Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free. —Scott

Lord, open our eyes that we may see.
