My church is in the process of deciding whether to sell our building and “head to the hills” … no, not really … head to South San Jose, actually … or stay where we are. We are a small body, and according to some we are dying. Those folks who want to move suggest [...]

Born as a son, led like a lamb,
Sacrificed like a sheep, buried as a man,
He rises from the dead as God,
Being by nature both God and man.
He is the judge of all things:
When he judges, he is law; when he teaches, word;
When he saves, grace; when he begets, father;
When he is begotten, son; when [...]

A holy lightening stands before the cave
while guards lie, stonelike, on the hardened ground.
One white garbed angel speaks from open grave,
his presence with the missing stone astound
the mourning women. Overwhelmed by fright,

don’t hear the jeers. Most friends have thought to flee
in fear, [...]

The arms spread out, the blend of blood
and muscle: these spell love? Death hangs
in front of us, and staring, still
we do not comprehend. What seems
the ending, in the future will
become the answer to our curse
and a beginning to new life.
But now our eyes are blinded, ears
are closed, the mirror not just dim
but blackened. We can‚t [...]
