Five Minute Friday: Wide

Wide:

The vast expanse that is my mind.  Blank.  Words seems to have run away from me today.

The way my eyes bugged out of my head last Friday, after receiving that fateful text message.  “Jerome died!!!”.  I’m still in shock over the sudden and very unpredicted death of a long time, childhood buddy.  We grew up together in church.  Sang today, laughed together, prayed together. 

The distance my heart fell, after reading a friend’s online status.  I'd thought it had plummeted already.  “Craniopharyngioma”.  Benign tumor in her toddler’s brain.  Unwanted news moments after my first bombshell.

The open & all embracing virtual arms of my community of new writing friends.  It may be online, but the love of Christ links us all in heart & mind.

The best description of the Ultimate Sacrifice:

Jesus loves me! He who died

Heaven’s gate to open wide:

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

The range my thoughts & emotions have covered in this post. 

The number of reasons I have to praise.
