Matt Chandler spoke in chapel at Southern Seminary today. Please watch and listen to this short sermon and may it impact you the same way it impacted me.
So, there has always been this desire in me to write poetry. I have always enjoyed making words rhyme and finding creative ways of expressing a thought or an idea. I have been driving around a lot lately and have been noticing how beautiful everything is. For some reason, this year more than other years, the trees seem to just burst open with a variety of color patterns and if you drive next to a mountain or a hillside, the entire hillside just looks like a painted canvas and it really is beautiful.
Anyways, I was flipping through some of my poetry and found a poem that I wrote about fall. It seems like it applies to my current surroundings, so I thought that I would share it. Lets together hear the sounds of Fall. Lets together see the impact that Fall can have on our lives, on our relationships, and on our walk with God. Think about what you read and hopefully it will impact your life today in a positive way. Hope you enjoy it, please feel free to comment.
Title: The Sounds of Fall
Crunch
Snap
Happiness to all?
Or happiness to few?
The sound of leaves?
An amazing comparison, which causes people to think
But maybe what I am saying
Can only be answered by that King of Kings
Or maybe what I am trying to say is
The sound of leaves is what you make it
Leaves in the mountains, during the fall
Make the most noise because they are falling
Falling makes no sound you say?
The most exciting part for the leaf is…
…the FALL
Isn’t it the same for humans?
If falling equals sin, then maybe
Maybe the leaf and all humans
Should cling to the tree longer
For if Falling makes no noise
Then clinging to the tree…
…must be a wondrous sound.
Today’s post is a video post. I saw this video as a promo for the Passion 2010 event and I thought it was amazing. Check it out. Tell me what you think.
Does your walk with God make you feel the same way that the person in the video is feeling? Think about it.
