24 Poetry Posting #2: Prunes

This poem is still being written, so I'm looking for real critiques here. I'm just not sure it's done. I may leave it up a little longer than normal allow more time for contemplation. As always, all comments will remain live.

Thank you all for posting comments and taking time to read!

    I love the Broadway musical , "Rent"! One of the songs has a verse, "Forget regret, For your life is yours to miss!" It is a statement I wish to go by, but is difficult sometimes.

    Realization is scary. However, it is never too late...no matter where we are in our lives.

    It is a beautiful poem Justin!

Josh Powell is In Hell

Josh Powell. source: http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2012/news/120220/josh-powell-300.jpg Probably. Anyone who knows me and/or follows my writing both and on my hubpage account , knows that I was reared in a very Christian home and am now, in my thirties struggling with many common and widely held beliefs that the modern Christian church teaches. The most alarming of these is the concept of hell . I question how a loving God, a Creator who refers to Himself as “Love” would create creatures that would end up in a placed of eternal anguish called “hell”. Thankfully, because of Josh Powell , I’m clinging to the idea of hell—and of heaven—and some sort of comfort. Josh Powell was a person of interest in his wife Susan's 2009 disappearance. She is most likely dead and he is almost positively the reason for it. Killing your wife is bad, killing your children is worse and incomprehensible even to me, a lifelong non-parent. Last week, Josh Powell lost custody of his two boys and ...

Turn or Burn?

Clearly these signs speak of God's abiding love for mankind. I grew up in the church. Two of my uncle's were pastors and my dad was a Christian musician, speaker, and occasional worship pastor. I've heard every message under the sun about the Son. I've grown bored and uninterested in my faith and ambivalent towards the church. Quite frankly, the church is an institution corrupted by man that in no way resembles the Christian church that Jesus anointed Peter to. I haven't consistently gone to church for a couple years and my soul misses it. I need the fellowship, the worship, the study of scriptures. I want to know God and know Him deeply. Whatever dogmatic or doctrinal label that puts on me, I don't really know or care. I just want to feel the Spirit moving within me. I had a revelation last night. The message at church (we go on Saturday nights) was one I've heard thousands of times. It was about the need to evangelize. The...

A Very young Bella Blue April fifth has always been a sad day for me. That was the day, when I was thirteen years old, that Kurt Cobain died. I wrote about that day here: But now, I have reason to be happy. My dog, Bella Blue, was born on April 5th 2009. Bella is a very loving and rambunctious labradoodle. So, Happy Birthday Bella Blue. Enjoy these pictures! Add caption My wife , before she was my wife, and a very young labradoodle named Bella Blue This one makes me think of Peter Griffin MMM.
