Functioning Faith
Planting mustard seeds
On my knees, moving mountains,
Breaking down barriers.
Senryu
Believe and Pray:
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 KJV
Prospectors
Searching the scriptures
Unearthing a nugget of truth
Seek and you shall find
Senryu
I love taking inspired journeys that the Holy Spirit leads me on either when I am alone or with someone else.
When’s the last time you went “digging for gold” within the pages of your bible?
My grandson and I often do that together and it always leads us to some exciting finds and increased knowledge.

The Rarity of Christ
As I search among the flowers bright
Looking for one unique and pure
I find it a most useless plight
As I search among the flowers bright
In all effort, as hard as I might
I do my search long and very sure
Finding tis only one truly right
As I search among the flowers bright
Looking for one unique and pure

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away

You didn’t make noise
As the fog horn does
You merely shined
To show me the way

Satisfy Your Thirst
Slack—Slake
Don’t slack—Do slake
Be a slaker, not a slacker
Do you see? Drop the C, and then add an E
Slake it
Cinquain
Slake is “The Word of the Day” at dictionary.com
“Slake means “to lessen or allay something by satisfying it.” While we can slake our curiosity, desire, hunger, or anger, we most commonly say we slake our thirst.
Slake comes from Middle English slaken “to mitigate, allay, moderate, lessen one’s efforts,” from Old English slacian “to slacken.” Old English slacian is a verb based off the adjective sleac, slæc, variously meaning “loose, lazy, careless, sluggish, lax (of conduct),” which by Middle English (as slac, slak) narrowed to the sense of “loose, not tight,” the principal sense of its modern form, slack, today.
Old English sleac (via Germanic slak-) derives from the Proto-Indo-European root (s)lēg-, which, in its Latin variants, ultimately yielded such English words as languid, languish, lax, lease, release, and relax.
Once again, etymology offers an important life lesson: it’s best not to languish, so slake your thirst—with a beverage of your choice—and relax, but don’t be too lax about it and slack off.”
