I can’t ever remember a time when I didn’t
FEEL IT
but after nearly 40 years of being Ordained
I FEEL IT
more strongly now than ever before
and have a better way of
c o m m u n i c a t i n g
it than well over 40 plus years ago. . .

The most debatable question that I have ever had to answer at any of the four churches (FIVE if you include the three years I served my Student Church in Seminary) and now 25 years of being a Hospice Chaplain
is:

AM I WRONG TO THINK THAT JESUS
CAME LESS TO SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME
AND MORE TO BRING HEAVEN
TO MY HELL. . . ?

I never could get my
h e a d
h e a r t
s o u l
around a God who loves me
u n c o n d i t i o n a l l y
who’s Son died for the sins of the world
being weaker/less
than my worst flaw and blatant wrongnesses. . .

My Caring Catalyst
s o u l
just can’t quite figure it all out
but it doesn’t
F E E L
right
THIS THEOLOGY of HELL
we’re bound
unless, until, except, if, but,
Y O U
should
better
ought-to
have-to. . .

What would happen if we substituted whatever we call
GOD
MOHAMMED
ALLAH

HIGHER POWER

SUPREME BEING
O THOU WHO ART FOREVER
with the word:
