a world so big


it was a great day at church today
i missed church last week

i was looking forward to going today

i went to my tutors church
it was a great message

along with really friendly people
the friendliest greeting i've ever had

she introduced me to her friends
as her past student
and i tell them i'm still her student
- life long learning


we went for lunch and she came over after lunch
i've updated her and she's updated me on our respective lives

we have a lot in common although we have a large age gap
and i really enjoy her respect and knowledge
how she thinks about issues

she's someone i look to

on outlook in life

'believe in yourself
in your talents and skills

that have brought you
this special day


believe in yourself
in your God-given gifts
and your faith will help show
you the way


believe in yourself
and your own heart
will tell you
the dreams and goals
to pursue


believe in yourself
you're someone unique
with no limit
to what you can do'

today the sermon got me most
when she talked about what we do for God
and that has been the question on my mind

she used the analogy of basketball
i've never shot a basket in myself

and she said the people even on the sidelines
are very important

again i was reminded
even for a few minutes a day,

to look at the sky
and how big the world is
and problems will melt away

thanks.
