in the in-between august 29, 2025

I rise again this morning, and I see
The scenes of yesterdays still on repeat.
My neighbors in their daily routines flow--
The kids to school. The pets outside.  Then, "Go!'

News today?  There's nothing 'new' to tell.
Another thousand lives in Gaza fell.
Another active shooter at a school.
Another Party face-off.  Who will rule?

Christ warned us, "In this world you will have strife."
He said, "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life."
He charged his kids to BE His hands, His feet.
His Love, His Power to Save, His Joy, His Peace.

'Til His return, we on His Promise lean;
To live well for Him, In the In-Between.
