My Holy Three

My Holy Three
The ground of me.
In knowing myself
May I know Thee.

Write upon my heart
The thoughts that are Your own.
Seat Yourself upon
My empty throne.

You who find no place
To rest Your Head.
Here, rein and rule
To delight and  wed..

My Holy Three
The ground of me.
In knowing myself
May I forever know Thee.

A King, A Victim, A Priest

A king,
A victim,
A priest,

A king accused,
A victim scourged,
A priest condemned,

A king crowned and robed,
A victim beaten and humiliated,
A priest on the altar of the Cross,

O Anointed One,
O Crucified One,
O Holy One,
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
Eternal Priesthood won.

Update-Reaching for the Ground?That’s Reaching!

Update-Reaching for the Ground? That’s Reaching!

The White House now believes the American people are blind as well as stupid, as evidenced by their COCKAMAMIE explanation for President Obama’s blunderous bow to King Abdullah.  Cock- and-bull stories work best without pictures and video.

Reaching for the Ground? That’s Reaching!

HotAir airs the supposition that what may look like Barack Obama in a “protocol-smashing deep-waisted bow to King Abdullah” was Obama reaching for something on the ground offered by some aspiring minds.  HotAir deftly notes that one hand is in the hand of King Abdullah and the other at Obama’s side… hence only obeisance here!
