We only have one life on this planet but whoever said we only have one chance? Christ is the God of the second chance and more if we need it. He said we can call things that are not as though they were. Let's start calling to all the goodness we can have in His name! Where ever He is leading I am calling, "SHOTGUN!"
She beats the batter full of amber sweetness folding words of the HaMelech into the
eggy goodness. God is King over his Creation as she is sovereign over the honey cake. The spoon goes around and over, sweet batter clinging to wood. There is flour on her hands and a sheen of butter. Did you have the dust of our life upon you in Eden? When you stirred the earth's natal waters did you pray into the dark waves as I pray into this bowl? Holy King! King of Justice! Stir my
heart. Make my life a cake of honey.
A world away the most devout rock and pray slipping desire or remembrance into a crack in a stone wall Pleadings on bits of vellum hope fading long before the tear smudged ink The last of the ruined temple treasuring so many names
My thoughts lift to You that ruined temple rebuilt The wall grace made between me and my sin- and I take my deepest hopes my most ardent thoughts and into your pierced side they join fast to your power and purpose never to fade- wailing hushed by thanksgiving
There is room enough

Now that we know what we
have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not
let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of
touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing,
experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and
get what he is so ready to give. Hebrews 4:14-16
We are two Jesus Freaks left over from the 70's. (Kat works and writes and John is a Rescue Ministry chaplain and also ministers behind bars.) We have been with Christ many years and His wonderful love has informed every area of our lives. We know that everything in Him is "YES!" where His plans for all of us are concerned. Even if we are too slow or too contrary and we miss it so many times, He is never finished with us. "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." (Psalm 27) Our favorite postings are NOTHING IN HIS APPEARANCE 1/11, I BROUGHT YOU TO MYSELF 6/11, SHOW US YOUR GLORY 11/10, BEING SPLENDOR 7/1/11, HIS FAVOR LASTS A LIFETIME 5/12, WHERE DOES IT HURT? 9/10 and GENNESSARET 11/10. Come enjoy God with us!***
John and Kat LaMantia
