kill god

kill god

that god be God

freed from musts 

and freed from wants

from puerile dreams

from cash and prayers

from self-charming thrusts

that bridle God

then smash the idols

letting them go

for god is God

when God IS God

un-bottled, un-throttled

roaming' free

then one might find

what one has lost

by holding tight

to the One Who's True

*There is nothing as Beautiful as God.

*Reflections of Frederick Beuchner:

  -Of all powers, love is the most powerful and the most powerless.  It is most powerful because it alone can conquer that final and most impregnable stronghold which is the human heart.  It is the most powerless because it can do nothing except by consent.

  -To say that love is God is romantic idealism.  To say that God is love is either the last straw or the ultimate truth.

  -In the Christian sense, love is not primarily an emotion but an act of the will.

  -This other war is the war not to conquer but the war to become whole and at peace inside our skins.  It is a war not of conquest now but of liberation because the object of this other war is to liberate that dimension of selfhood which has somehow become lost, that dimension of selfhood that involves the capacity to forgive and to will the good not only of the self but of all the other selves.  This other war is the war to become a human being.  This is the goal that we are really after and that God is really after.  This is the goal that power, success and security are only the forlorn substitutes for.  This is the victory that not all our human armory of self-confidence and wisdom and personality can win for us - not simply to be treated as human but to become at last truly human.
