From “Blah, Blah, Blah,” to “Rah, Rah, Rah!”

Daily writing prompt
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

There’s a story that many people find uninteresting because it is too often presented as “blah, blah, blah.” However, to me it is the most exciting series of events in history. That story powerfully impacts my life throughout each day. It’s account of Jesus and His birth, life, death, resurrection, and ongoing working in human hearts! Christ’s presence in me freely flows from my innermost being as living water.

“My heart is glad and my tongue rejoices.”
Christ is risen!
Church sometimes seems
Like “blah, blah, blah,”
But Christ in me
Is “Rah, Rah, Rah!”
Think outside
Your comfort box
Until you find
Hope that unlocks
God’s building blocks
And puts you on
The Cornerstone.
To raise you above
Life’s hard knocks–
“If then you were
Raised with Christ,
Seek those things
Which are above.”’

My wife, Ernie, and I love to bask in Christ’s living water that flows from deep within us:

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
