About

One of my favorite songs is called The Poem of Your Life. Written by singer/songwriter Michael Card, it lends an artistic flair to the sometimes mundane ordinariness of daily existence. Even more than that, it speaks of meaning. In today’s world where nothing seems certain and most things are not as they seem, one can often wonder if anything means anything in relation to anything else. From our earliest moments, we seek to make sense out of perceived senselessness.

What you will find in this blog is an argument for meaning. There is such a thing. Not every word or line will be directed specifically towards this end (sometimes I post something more out of fancy than purpose), but the overall mosaic is one of a life filled with a sense of intent — a life that is enMissioned. What do I mean by all these vague postulations? Well, read the blog and find out…

Life is a song we must sing with our days
A poem with meaning more than words can say
A painting with colors no rainbow can tell
A lyric that rhymes either heaven or hell
We are living letters that doubt desecrates
We’re the notes of the song of the chorus of faith
God shapes every second of our little lives
And minds every minute as the universe waits by

 

CHORUS:
The pain and the longing
The joy and the moments of light
Are the rhythm and rhyme
The free verse of the poem of life

 

So look in the mirror and pray for the grace
To tear off the mask, see the art of your face
Open your ear lids to hear the sweet song
Of each moment that passes and pray to prolong
Your time in the ball of the dance of your days
Your canvas of colors of moments ablaze
With all that is holy
With the joy and the strife
With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life
With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life
