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.

Imagine Authors


Imagine Authors

(“They marveled at His teaching; for He taught them as an authority and not as the scribes.” Mark 1:22)

Permeating visible sky, filling crumble ground,
engaging brains like rain does waiting lawns,
truth speaks constantly; lecture and learner
share the same words like a breakfast bagel
cut down the middle.

Thunder floods some, rivers rumble around
boulders that amplify the whitespray
crash and dancing
like granite-sped delivery,
another well-spoken mystery that leaves
a forgotten file from the case history
of the world.

Imagine speaking leaves, budpoints just before bloom,
prologues to spring; laughing everything into color
overnight after rain. Imagine authors of motion,
planets wandering to get the next best view of the sun
and reporting their findings in a best-selling novel
in first hand omniscient prose.

Geometry numbed me, physics bored me,
Calculus ignored my stunned stop-motion
and went ahead anyway.

Truth spoke, and though duly noted,
no one volunteered to hand in the homework.
