Sam,

C.S. Lewis said, “We need to be reminded more than instructed.” Thanks for the beautifully written reminder my friend.

Once when I was in college, I called several of my friends to tell them about the sunset that I experienced while outside after a thunderstorm. It seemed very important at the time for them to get outside and experience it.

They probably thought I was nuts.

I’m always surprised to find that there are many people in this world who don’t notice sunsets. How sad. Those who do notice them often give no thought to the One who created them. How much more tragic.

This is a great description of life, a poem in its cadence.

I wonder if “amen” might more simply be translated “I’m turning around.”

Brief and full of creative praise; this is great. If only I could put thoughts into words so well when confronted with the beauty and majesty of God’s unadulterated creation.

BTW, I had trouble fitting this sentence into my brain: “So many things I have put behind me belong there.” It makes sense on re-reading, but it took a while.

Thanks for a quick word of encouragement to sing to the King.

sammy (if that is your real name):
i had a really wise comment typed up, then my computer crashed like a hyena off a rhino haunch high.

you understand brevity, a quality i’ve yet to learn. i am an admirer of your writing. you should be a RR elder statesman, unless you happen to be younger than Proprietor AP, in which case you would be a RR noblate forced to work your spindly fingers to the bone on an ancient rusted, cranky typewriter. glory be.

Sammy it is. I’ve been called Worse. Seriously, for eight years I was referrred to as “Worse.”

That was not true.

Thanks for all the nice comments. This little expression came right on out in a rush and exactly as described. It was a beautiful, sunset storm. Glory to God.

Sammy. Sammy. Sammy. By the court of three witnesses (JR, T-Bone The Nicknamer and yours truly), you are Sammy.

Nice stuff. Mail that “evening song of the first Poet” line to yourself in a letter– the poor man’s copyright. That’s GOLD!

I really enjoyed reading this this morning when I first logged on. Thanks.
