Biblical Scripture: Romans 4:1-12 Open Invitation to Join Terri from

2-Mar-12: Romans 4:1-12
. 6 So also David speaks of the blessedness of those to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the one against whom the Lord will not reckon sin.”
“….and why did you throw that old rag over us?”
All critters and unfolk slumped and flumped all on the peak
All legs and arms and noses and ears and even Old Crookeye
All folded and rolled and tolled over in moan and bone to seek
All dear earned rest in best friend breasts no more toned to cry
“Hey, what ho, what hey? What smothers and covers our many colors?”
“Hey, what now, what bow did drop this one cover over us?”
“Rest now, peace now, sweet now of new found right with no dolors”
“Rest now, peace now, sweet now,” did chirrup winged ones in shush.

Rose! This poem sings in a voice that can be shared by everyone everywhere. It is so colorful it is colorless. A quick aria for the voiceless. The black in the night, the white in a snowstorm. Keep hitting the high notes, Rose.
