Each Day Has a Blessing

Back to Work, Such as it is

Reverberations of the Redeemed

The Wow of Woes and Wonders

Marvelous God

STOMPED, not STOPPED!

Let's Label Jars, Not People!

We label jars, as to content
And cans that we can not see through,
Such use is constructive and helpful
And serve as beneficial tools.

But when we go labeling Humans
In our stereotypical ways,
We are doing ourselves a disfavor--
And opening the door for disgrace.

I want not by men, to be labeled
By their preconceived notions of me,
Blinded by superficial judgments
How can they my qualities see?

Nor would they desire such treatment
To be put in a niche, shelved away,
But the benefit of true exposure
To be who they are--not what we say!

Let's label jars--not people
Let's give All Opportunity,
To show themselves for who They are
And then more equity, we'll see!
