In this Age of Trump, conservative Christians have been emboldened to call dibs on Jesus Himself. In doing this they’ve become bullies, long on talk, short on listen! In their doctrinal/political discourse they freely wield Jesus like a weapon. The truth is, IT’S NOT JESUS they’ve weaponized, but only their 2-dimensional understanding of Him. This site is designed to counter the conservative Christians’ static rhetoric about God and to reclaim the sacred name of Jesus for the benefit of ALL people. The podcast is an audio messaging feed that promotes the bible-based image of the Liberal Jesus, f...
The Big Blue Betty Part 2
Vs 5
With giant quantum steps I’m overtaking the challenge of balance
My birthright as youngest: in observing, I’d learned
Arms over my head, like a monkey, I manage to steer.
Using whole body torque, I churn with everything I am.
I’m riding my grown sister’s blue bike on my own.
Vs 6
Training wheels not needed, Betty balances herself alright.
My course included: mostly sidewalks, a bit of road.
I’m a lost Wright brother at Kitty Hawk with a sin...

The drag coefficient would slow us down, or worse...
Jerk us back and up—bending our course towards kingdom come.
All the while, dancing and dropping, as we went,
A potpourri of odds and ends:

Baskets full of red and blinking bulbous noses,
Huge shoes, seltzer bottles (flailing and spraying)
Freshly twisted into life-sized balloon animals...

But we’d be well-advised, on our part,
To pat ‘em down; finger through their index of pranks & antics;
Because one of those clowns might well be packing
A vertically broad-striped big top
Held out there in the broad daylight
Jumbled in amongst his prop-filled frolicking

And with lightning hands would flip out same,
Unpack it, tie it off and let it out through

Ch #2
Get cares out from under foot;
It’s time to unload.
We’ll roll it all out ‘long side the road
As we roll along the side roads.
Rolling and blipping on the seams
As seeming endlessly rolling out as we roll.
Vs
When we stop to rest we might encounter some clowns.
A troupe of bozos—deft at pratfalls;
Who know their way ‘round inside tiny autos
And feel at home in confined, crowded quarters.
Who’r...

Ch #1
Get cares out from under foot;
Bind ‘em up (with) what dispenses off a big ball of rhyme.
It’s time to unload—to air out the soul.
We’ll roll it all out ‘long side the road
As we roll along the side roads.
Rolling and blipping on the seams
As seeming endlessly rolling out as we roll.
Vs
Merrily will we roll; spirits climb up higher as we go...
As we peel off worries choking our hopes

Bind them up with what dispenses off a big ball of rhyme.

Still Remembering
1
There’s a long-ago story we revisit every year.
That presents a still-life image inside our brains.
An image of a world that operated in ways less complicated.
Our imaginations repaint us into a Currier and Ives scene.
Bliss-filled feelings get reincarnated in our hearts.
At that time when One newly born into a stable—
Into the world on a night when the Light came out.

It’s a clear star-filled night with snow blanketing rolling hills
That lays out a...

The High Winds Adventurer
With Signals to a Weather-vane

Singer from the high cliffs at the ends of the earth,
Sender of whirling tales
Bend them to issue out a far cry;
Make them slap upon and off
The sweat-faced rocks;
Only to follow brooks, chase the geese flocks.
Then to eventuate: somewhere swallowed up
By hungry depths of crevice.

My fellow wandering searchers,
Gleaners of lost and fallen squalls:
“Look ha...
The Big Blue Betty Part 1
Vs 1
One day I just saw her lying on the ground.
I’d fixated on my sisters’ mastery of her workings:
Axles, crank, gears, big wheels…messaged and fashioned
For the solitary purpose (by some unknown genius),
Of manufacturing propulsion for forward motion.
Vs 2
Only 4 years old yet hyped on bennies of “can do” thinking…
Osmosis off upper ranks of Rockwood family roles
Then magnified by my drive to be a bigger boy.
Some voice in my chest spoke out to my he...
World Go Round
Vs
In the beginning, she started spinning,
Seemingly speeding off all on her own. Oh yes.
An unending going was put in her motion
That sprung from a God of abundant knowing.
Vs
Then God He made the man,
Woman, from then on the clan.
Next quest: to gain control
Over wild wonder of this world spinning.
