Benjamin

The Benjamin that I know is, like the Biblical
Character, the YOUNGEST of 8 sons.  For the last
Year, I have sensed that there is something that
I am supposed to impart to Benjamin.  I have not
Concluded what that impartation is, but I will begin
By sharing an acrostic poem bearing his name.

BELIEVERS do not have room for doubt and fear

EVERY door is an opportunity to explore and excel

NEVER say never, but rather, forever say, "I can"

JUSTICE may condemn me, but Christ pardons me

ANTICIPATION explodes within and makes me wait

MANY are called; few are chosen; most refuse

I can do all things through Christ

NOTHING shall be impossible to those who believe
