This isn't really an acceptable time two between journal entries - of that I am aware - but these are some Cinquains I produced during an exercise on our Reader study day on Preaching yesterday. I loved it! It's basically a poem that you produce by going through a series of steps; yesterday we read or listened to a Bible passage and then tried to convert the 'big ideas' into a Cinquain. These are my efforts...
Based on Matthew 14: 28-33
Peter.
Scared, amazed, daring...
Desperately, bravely
tries.
Superstar.
Friend.
Vulnerable, terrified,
Praying, hoping, fearing,
With an uncertain mind
Believes.
And based on Mark 13: 24-37
Redeemer.
Restoring, perfecting.
Come, heal, forgive.
Our world needs you
Lord.
Saviour.
Beautiful, triumphant, eternal,
Returning glorified.
Saving
God.
Seriously, I loved this exercise.
I will journal more soon, I promise, but prayers for concentration and focus would be appreciated :-)
