Never Sleeps

While a pastor on the Fort Berthold Reservation I was honored with the Indian name, "NeverSleeps". It was primarily because I was often responding to particular needs in the middle of the night.

Even more relevant, the Lord Himself, Maker of all, "Never Sleeps".

Surely you know.
Surely you have heard.
The Lord is the God who lives forever,
who created all the world.
He does not become tired or need to rest.
No one can understand how great his wisdom is.

Isaiah 40:28

Welcome to every reader. I am a simple follower of Jesus. He is perfect, I often fall short.

Where Upon


Where Upon

(“When God created man, He made him in God’s likeness; He created them male and female.” Genesis 5:1a, 2b)

Where upon the mountains, the names of things are airy,
only in the homes are labels plastic attached.
To save a bird from extinction, we give it the distinction
(classifying by name wing-style and beak)
and pin a note to the forehead sky, hoping it will
notice, male and female, to mate, fly and procreate
littles and much until the name is ubiquitous once more.

Where upon the memories, the names of faces are blushing,
only on the meadows is laughter’s echo holy.
To save more hope from obscurity, we remove its impurities
(drinking at the river run pebbled stream)
and fly another kite high in reflection, knowing it will
capture, male and female, to live, love and honor
bigger and focus until
the

Name is heart and marrow once more.
