Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde
speaks about what America should be.
She is truly a person of honor and dignity.
Why should she apologize for just asking for mercy?
I dreamt I was in a church,
I was walking up to the candlelit altar.
There were clergy garbed in vestments,
whether they were Catholic or Episcopal,
I don't recall.
A mourning Mass was about to begin.
I approached an open small mahogany coffin,
an infant lost to abortion was lying in it,
instead of the bassinet it deserved to be
born into.
I placed my hand tenderly on the
lacy-robed babe.
Suddenly, the baby stirred and came to life,
gently cooing as many babies do.
The Life Dream,
sweet omnipresent Christ,
our prayers for unborn and born children.
Your infants of the ages,
of the earth's mother's receiving bosoms.
Our sorrows become our joys,
we saved through Your grace-
more of Your precious ones today. ~
Doves do things surely seeming so strange;
Can hear them cooing at their convenience;
Will see them waddle while seeking food;
When doing this they may be there in pairs.
Have to go to
compline service at 8 PM EST or slightly after

COVID in Boston
so left and went to Austin
gas much was costing
COVID has been why
emotions at all time high
patience short supply
seems like when they force
All of our work to outsource
did bring on remorse
That was what is had heard in MSNBC
longer we will dwell
in what has been Holy hell
never did feel well
have to let things go
fully release all of them
be ourselves again
From Compline we had by
Kevin last night.
He can forward this to all FaceBook
friends on compline.

into side must thrust
wind would come up with a gust
did survive from dust
we knew they were trans
which had been part of their plans
either Fred's or Fran's
we love our mother
is perfect like no other
even another
fire seemed to spread
trees burned up than were dead
dreamed of when in bed
to God we will pray
tornado not come our way
away from us stay
Carolina country
with an iron foundry
along the boundary

In My Mind Still Will Remain
my mind still remain
what we had fought for in vein
died with much disdain

Are hearing about all of the
monuments being torn down
and names of bases expressing
names of Confederate officers
being changed. Segregation
and integration have always
been key issues in our society.
Poetry Reading at 1100 PM today:

New Episcopal Female Bishop
She stood tall while people would applaud;
Her award had been based on love of God,
And Son who from Him one day did shed;
Crucified on cross and to death had bleed.
Prestigious honor upon her was bestowed,
And how great face looked when it glowed;
With effervescent faith she had been bridled;
Her position of Bishop she became entitled.

Love Each New Vestment
love each new vestment
And wonder where old ones went
To God they were sent

Church just received new choir vestments
here at St. James Episcopal in Shallotte,
NC.
M-My first church was Methodist
E-Episcopal, by way of African-American experiences,
T-That I may overcome African apartheid, white then black,
H-How far the LORD has brought me, for Jesus' Heart
O-Overflowing with forgiveness, understanding, fearless-favor
D-Day by day, I seek to love Him, not idly but in hour upon hour
I-Interceding for others, saved and unsaved, both other & a brother
S-Selfish as his wife, Sister-in-Love, who stole shamelessly, family dream
T-Today I looked through window bars, at God's green, raining tears
For David Jenkins of Saint James Episcopal
Shallotte, NC
There is only this left I can beg or borrow;
Last moment which was so full of sorrow;
God reigns supreme,
And He will redeem;
Did die and never again have a tomorrow.

Another Kerr Eruption
With intelligence had been an interruption,
And inserted into it was some Kerruption;
We were elated,
And graduated;
While Trump had experienced corruption.
Kerr is a lay Episcopal Person at All Saints
at Stonybrook, NY.
Rise To the Occassion
We finally found another Priest;
For him decided to have a feast;
Occasion rose,
We suppose;
Had made sure we added yeast.

Our new Priest for St. Thomas
Episcopal in Shallotte, NC is
from Long Island.
Was at St. James Episcopal today listening to choir who my wife is a member of. I sit on front row. Keep lamps trimmed and burning is what song was about.
Slaves North Shall Head
Towards North the slaves, they have to head,
Where each of their mouths will finally be fed;
In South starve;
Way North carve;
Hope someone puts them up in barn or shed.
Predicament of slaves seems so similar to
birth of Jesus.
