SORRY

I SAW HIM.
JESUS I MEAN,
THROUGH A THIN VEIL
AS MY PULSE DROPPED DOWN TO ZERO
AGAIN AND AGAIN.
AND HE SAID TO ME,
VERY STERNLY,
"NO, GO BACK, SHERRIE,
I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!"
NO LIE.
I NEARLY CROSSED OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE.
I NEARLY MADE IT HOME.
BUT HERE I AM,
WRITING AGAIN,
AND AMAZED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE IN RUSSIA
NOT TO MENTION GERMANY, CAMBODIA AND FINLAND
HAVE READ MY SIMPLE WORDS
EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T WRITTEN A WORD
FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED,
PRAYERS ANSWERED,
SAD NEWS RECEIVED,
THAT I DON'T THINK I CAN GET IT INTO JUST ONE
POEM.
SORRY.
BUT I PROMISE I WILL TRY.

HEBREWS 5: 16-18 

REJOICE ALWAYS,

PRAY CONTINUALLY,

GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES;

FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.
