weekly flow

there was a day called monday
it came and then it went
i know that i participated
although i must lament
i can remember little of it
and this i most resent

tuesday come and gone
and not much more to show
with plenty more tomorrow
amidst the weekly flow
what is the point of this short poem
another i don't know

Do Christians Have Feelings?

Think back my Christian friend to the last time you felt close to God. What did it feel like, can you even remember? No doubt there was joy, peace, clarity of mind, commitment to service. Where are those feelings now? Was it just youthful Christian zeal that has now given way to learned stoic faith? How do you feel about God? He has feelings about you.

These brief thoughts flow from the book I am going through with the high school class. The book is titled, Feelings and Faith, and it was written by Brian S. Borgman. I recommend it. http://feelingsandfaith.com/
