rest warmth  coffee inside the cozy lit indecisive grey skies,  an escapee drop here and there and the weight of wisdom,  solid and satisfying praying that it will seep in saturate my heart

Peace be still, my soul Why are you restless and disquieted? What's all this murmuring in my heart? Be quiet! Hush! I don't want to hear it. Shut, up. Who do you think you are anyway? You're annoying, that's what. You're too loud and complaining, I can't hear anything. I'm trying to listen to Salvation to angel songs to the heartbeat of the cross. And here you're doing all this whining. And the pity parties, they've got to stop. They're keeping me up all hours of the night. How do you even manage to make so much noise with only three guests? I've had it with this attitude. Not another peep out of you. Got it?

In a world where churches get locked and the lights never go off where we spend years of our life weighing our many options where "entertainment" is a culture in itself when people sell the gospel as comfort-food and ministry is about the wisdom of men's brain Jesus still says "be still and know that I am God I will be exalted" whether you try to help Me or not and listening at His feet is still the good part which will not be taken away He still says "seek MY wisdom" and He still tells us to obey and still doesn't tell us what will happen if we do. Life is not quite as complicated as we think.

Do you have a moment, sir; could you tell me a story? I can see at least one held captive in your eye If you have a moment, ma'am, I'd like to hear a little of the storms that traced the lines where my cheek is still smooth Tell me, sir, of a day that one white hair stands for and most of all I want to know what kept that twinkle in your eye Please tell me, ma'am, how you're still smiling though you've known pain and heartbreak so much longer than I have Was it easier to let go the tenth time? Do you ever get used to being lonely? When I've seen as much as you, I want to rejoice as well as you do. Will you teach me how to grow old?
