Just a quick reminder, language may not be appropriate for children.

In the wake of all these allegations of sexual assault going back for years against big name stars I thought I would remind everyone who our president is...I'm just going to leave this right here, draw your own conclusions.

An Alternative to the Nashville Statement...

There's been a lot of talk lately about the recent Nashville Statement, if you are out of the loop or haven't read it you can do so here: https://cbmw.org/nashville-statement

I think a better alternative would be one Pete Enns recently penned, all in good fun of course,
check it out and see what you think:

a poem I've been working on...enjoy

a dark spirit of salvation

There are empty voices in my head
and empty songs in my heart.
My hands are full of treasure
my pockets are wrecked.
My shoes are on the wrong feet,
and my eyes are drawn against the night,
like curtains in the den.

There's blood on the piano keys.
It's been playing my song all week.
Nobody sings along, nobody joins in,
nobody knows the words.

Quiet, roseless lips speak no truths
they whisper no soft secrets.
Airwaves bubble with raspy discoveries
but most of us won't be interested,
most won't care.

Because of the empty songs,
empty hearts, and heads full of voices
and the constant hum
of all the background noses.
