I don’t write poems very often, but I’ve found them to be a great way to try and express myself. In the past couple months I’ve found myself writing a few. So I thought I’d share one. 
So on the subject of living in the world… Since college I have found myself always in a quandary concerning this topic. But again and again, I’ve found no better example than our Lord Jesus.
So… a short poem on my oh so truncated meditations:
Jesus
Living in the world, but
Teaching attachment to Himself.
Living for another Kingdom, but
Teaching to love others before self.
Once a King on His throne
Became a helpless babe.
Came to die, and die alone
Teaching to give your life away.
<Thoughts from John 15:13, Study in Mark>
(dedicated to Robert Park, a fellow Tucsonian, still in North Korea)
