faith

this morning devotional commute asked two question,
first question
what is faith?

gotta have FAITH


Ephesians 2: 8&9
⁸For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹not by works, so that no one can boast.

the other question was one about patents and copyrights,
i couldn't even spell patents,
i love when you misspell a word that you google,
it' asks the question,
DID YOU MEAN: insert correct spelling here?

THIS-to-THAT

this-to-that
Because people have a need to glue things to other things

ONE OF THE COOLEST WEBSITES EVER

i stumbled across this site in one of my many googles. It's the coolest. A must visit/bookmark for the DIY crafter. It's a how to attach THIS to THAT, basically how to glue anything to anything, in a very handy drop down list menu, where you click, scroll and choose---THIS---and then do the same for---THAT---and then hit the "LET'S GLUE" button to find out which glue will do the job.....there is also great info about glue, my personal fav FAQ, and some useful glue links.

Ezekiel 33:32
Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.

from CELEBRATE RECOVERY last thursday
quoted by pastor todd

I've been looking for this verse for a week now.


the book of ezekiel
the first few chapters in ezekiel, where he describes what GOD looks like to him are amazing, very visually descriptive, really illustrates the image in your mind. Anytime GOD speaks, he begins with, "Son of Man..."

ezekiel 1
²⁶ Above this surface was something that looked like a throne made of blue lapis lazuli. And on this throne high above was a figure whose appearance resembled a man. ²⁷ From what appeared to be his waist up, he looked like gleaming amber, flickering like a fire. And from his waist down, he looked like a burning flame, shining with splendor. ²⁸ All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining in the clouds on a rainy day. This is what the glory of the Lord looked like to me. When I saw it, I fell face down on the ground, and I heard someone’s voice speaking to me.

this poem was a birthday present for my 30th birthday

from the divine ms. devoya mayo

who am I

the direct projection of memories

folded together

lemon water

and pieces

of spring

pressed tightly between the pages of an old book

am I the crush of slip and slides

heat waves and the energy held

captive inside a new box of crayons

considering that

this tongue has always been venomous

was I the child or the mother

the body of the mind

ego or just an unmade bed

am I all that I give or all that I get

am I layers or simple

straight lines

am I the stroke/the caress/or the open eyed orgasm

am I the wine bottle

filled with declarations of love or a fragrant primal temple

am I 1972 all crisp and funky

a groove that aint been dug yet

a pimp strut down delancy street

or the jazz that

absorbes funk like a sponge

oky…..here it is……

READY?……….

I…….

am a love song on

A mixtape

The saturated

Soul found within

My clinched fist

The seduction of a shag

Carpet and a nickel

Bag of funk

I am the kinetic/boundless/fiery line

Between diego’s canvas

And frida’s karma

I am

Both lyrical

and drowning in song

I am sharp ya’ll

Sticky soft and sweet ya’ll

Cotton candy on a rainy day

The perfect blueprint

For pointless

Conversations on sensitivity

I am a cleanly scrubbed floor

Everything you don’t need

But can’t throw away

The tiny miracle of reassurance

A fast getaway in

A slow ass car

And all of this is just today

Because I’m a woman

And we are continuously making room for who we

Might be

Tomorrow

Happy birthday

love devoya
