Easter Weekend

It's crazy here in IV right now. It would be difficult to find a more beautiful day, and at the same time so many out of towners are here for DelTopia, what remains of the once great FloatTopia. People are getting drunk in the afternoon, music is loud, girls are dressed highly inappropriately. In world news, it's Easter this weekend. I was going to write an Easter or Good Friday Post, but instead I will just re-post a poem written by a blogger that I am a big fan of that very well captures how I feel today:
Coming In Glory


Any god can be
strong
when strength is
what you have

Any can be
mighty
when might is
in your hand

gods in
our image
just
stronger
mighter

“Grant that we may sit –
one, right
one, left
in your glory.”

The request of us all
who want a god
in our image.

Only slightly embarrassed
to hear it has been
prepared for
others.

What God can be
weak
when weakness is
all we have?

What can be
broken
shamed
shunned
when that is
our story?

There He is
Our God
In His pain-full glory.
And there
one, right
one, left
those for whom
it was prepared.
