Some more thoughts from my notebooks

Magnifying God

Be as a curved piece of glass
in which God's light may be focussed and transmitted
and set fire to the hearts of all who see.

Free Will

The gift of free will is sometimes just too great a weight for us to bear.
It is as a tossed caber that we cannot balance.
We totter and fall under its burden.

Put all that is chaos
into the hands and heart of God.

Life-raft

At certain times in our lives, all we can do is try to imagine ourselves 
afloat on a raft on the river of life.
It may seem paper-thin, but it is made of indestructible material.
It is woven with the thread of God's love.
