The Joy of Boredom

Date:

Do not think of anyone,
From a human point of view;
Like the Father on the Son,
Unto Heaven to construe.

If we would have thought of Christ,
Exactly in the same way;
We would become so enticed,
Causing us to go astray.

We do it not anymore,
Because as a believer;
We have closed and locked that door,
Since we are a receiver.

Receiver of salvation,
As we live in a new way;
Being a new creation,
Since we do trust and obey.

For the old way of living,
Has long ago disappeared;
Because God is forgiving,
And has been highly revered.

Now a new way of living,
Has come into existence;
Praising the Lord as we sing,
For all of His assistance.

Look at all what God has done,
With a new bridge for to cross;
All since He gave us His Son,
As a sacrificial loss.

A relationship restored,
For an alternative path;
If we keep in one accord,
We will be spared from the wrath.

God had used Christ to restore,
Light in a relationship;
Like an eagle we can soar,
If we honor and worship.

Joy can come when we are bored,
By reflecting on His Word;
With putting trust in the Lord,
Love reflects as it is heard.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
