Feast of St. John: ‘That Disciple Whom Jesus Loved’
That Disciple Whom Jesus Loved
Judas hanged himself.
James ‘The Lesser was tossed
From atop the Temple
Then beaten with a club.
James “The Greater” received
The sword, and Andrew,
Peter, Paul, Philip, and Simon
‘The Zealot’ were crucified.
Bartholomew was flayed
And then crucified.
Thomas was burned alive.
Judas (Thaddeus, not Iscariot)
Was beaten with sticks.
Matthias (Iscariot’s replacement)
Was stoned on a cross.
All were proclaiming Good News,
Save for Judas Iscariot,
Throughout torture and death.
Yet John was spared,
And what is that to you?

Where Christianity and Judaism Meet
Where Christianity and Judaism Meet
“More reasons why Christians should appreciate Hanukkah” – Luke Gilkerson
Antiochus IV enters,
Robs and burns
The City of David.
He pours boiled pig broth
Across the Torah,
The throne of God.
Yet Yudah ha Makkabi,
“Judah the Hammer,”
Takes the city back.

One God
One God
It is said that there are many gods, but only
One that is real.
Fox says (Till We Have Faces) that there are
No gods because we have no proof.
Bardia says, leave them alone.
But the case for The One real God has so
Much proof.
If only we open our minds to the Truth.
The One True God loves us so much,
He doesn’t want us to leave him alone.

The Restless Search
In search of Psyche
Orual frozen in the cave
Her eye glimpses a clue
A fading castle
Psyche was telling the truth
Orual felt guilty
