Trustful. Hopeful. Spirit of Love.
Gentle. Peaceful. Sent from above.
Warming. Filling. Father’s goodwill.
Patient. Present. Keeping us still.
Quiet and truthful, imparter of grace,
Wind of all wisdom, light to each place.
Convictor so stern of erroneous ways,
Helping us turn and delight in His praise.
Advocate, Comforter, alive in our being.
New way of walking. New way of seeing.
Spirit defending us from accusation.
Word of assurance of total salvation.
Call us together and give us direction,
Making us more than God’s cheering section.
Even in times when we inwardly groan,
Remind us again that we’re not alone.
Come, now, and help us to live with our neighbors.
Enlighten our minds and encourage our labors.
Help us to grasp your sword, so compelling,
Our bodies your temples, our hearts for your dwelling. Amen.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
