That He Would Call Me Friend

there was no bowing out of this opportunity
and there was no way of escaping this mission
two years
no three I had walked the other way
now write
now write with me
now "Let's do this together."

Last year I said I would do it for you.
Before I said I would do it for Him.
And many years ago I said I would do it for me...

and the books, the books they sit in my mind unwritten
so I blog to forget
I blog and neglect this mission, this calling.

But who can neglect so great a salvation.
The pen and the sword that cuts and creates lies.
I will write Truth.
