Out of Sync
Dedicated to Joyce Sallee, my good friend

He slept
while on Galilee
as they faced a tempest full-blown.
They wept
in their anxiety
fearing death and the sea unknown.
Up from the deep to their relief
He decreed, “Peace, be still. “

They slept
while in Gethsemane
as He braced for His death alone.
He wept
in dismal piety
volunteering sin’s debt to atone.
Three still asleep... crushed with grief
He agreed, “Father, your will.”

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
