ARTISTRY OF LOVING PEOPLE

There’s nothing more genuinely artistic than to love people.

Vincent Van Gogh

GOD AND LOVE

The two most difficult things to get straight in life are love and God.

More often than not, the mess people make of their lives can be traced to failure or stupidity or meanness in one or both of these areas. The basic and biblical Christian conviction is that the two subjects are intricately related. If we want to deal with God the right way, we have to learn to love the right way. If we want to love the right way, we have to deal with God the right way.

God and love can't be separated.

Eugene Peterson

4 HOURS

4 hours.
An introduction,
a conversation,
a shared moment,
a shared meal.

40 hours.
An opportunity in my mind,
a possibly in my heart,
an future in my life.

That does
not come.
I am again, 
learning.

Receive 4.
Reel not for 40.
Live in reality.
Do not long in reverie.

Let 4 hours be,
what 4 hours is.
4 hours.
