I seek you and long to be held
I feel helpless liken a small child
Embraced because I need to feel you
Feel your strength bounding my weakness
Hold close my empty heart
Fill it with warmth and love
Be my shelter from this storm
Cover me from this rain
I feel numb, dazed, confused
I’m young and lost and scared
Out of body, looking down
Balled up on the floor
Search for me, call for me
Let me hear your voice
Give me something I can feel
Something my sight can enjoy

The Law List
By Steve Conley
Person 1 enters. Person 2 is already on set watching TV.
Person 1: So what are you watching?
Person 2 is in a daze while watching the TV. They don’t hear Person 1.
Person 1: (Louder) Person 2! What are you watching?
Finally Person 2 hears Person 1.
Person 2: What?
Person 1: What are you watching?
Person 2: The TV silly!
Person 1: Funny. You’re real funny!
Person 2: What do I watch everyday at this time?
Person 1: Captain Kangaroo?
Person 2: Now who’s funny?
Person 1: I know, everyday it’s, When the Earth Moves…
Person 2: As The World Turns!
Person 1: Whatever!
Person 1 walks over and gets a sheet of paper and pen and begins to write.
Person 1: You shall not have no other God’s before me.
Person 2: What? What are you talking about? What are you writing?
Person 1: Just making you a little check list.
Person 2: What kind of check list?
Person 1: (Pointing to the TV) I believe that could be classified as a carved image.
Person 2: Are you making a law list?
Person 1: Sometimes we need people to show us our faults. God has called me to mission. You, Person 2, are not living for God’s approval!
Person 2: Why you! I’ll tell you what I think…
Person 1: You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Person 2: Don’t forget you shall not murder!
Person 1: Hold on there. You need to calm down. (Person 1 grabs his Bible) Proverbs 29:22 says, “An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.”
Person 2: Then you better get another sheet of paper because you are about to do a lot of writing. That is if you will be able to!
Person 1: Hey, don’t get mad at me if you can’t follow the rules.
Person 2: Oh, and you can?
Person 1: Well, I don’t mean to brag but…
Person 2: …where did you get that pen?
Person 1: Pen?
Person 2: Yeah, that pen you’re writing with?
Person 1: Ah, well I don’t know. I mean I don’t remember.
Person 2: You shall not steal!
Person 1: Whoa, are you calling me a thief?
Person 2: I think I better start my own list.
Person 2 grabs the paper and pen from Person 1
Person 1: Well listen, Mr. Bentley can afford another pen. Matter of fact he’s not going to miss that at all with all the money he has.
Person 2: (Writing) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
Person 1: Wait! I didn’t covet!
Person 2: That had covet written all over it! (Showing the list to Person 1) Look, do you want to see?
Person 1: (Turning away) I don’t want to see anything!
Person 2: (Picks up the Bible and reads) Matthew 12:22, “Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind…”
Person 1: Demon-possessed?!
Person 2: Hey, don’t get mad at me if you can’t follow the rules.
Person 1: Follow the rules? I’m very good at following. And I don’t think I’m seeing the respect for your man that Paul talked about. You’re an Old and New Testament rule breaker! You’re just not good enough!
Person 2: Are you serious? Mr. straight and narrow! Mr. I walk through the eye of the needle! Mr. I’ve never broke one so I’ve never broke none! Let me tell you. YOU sir, are just not good enough!
Person 1 and Person 2 begin to wrestle over the list, pulling and tugging, until finally Person 1 says…
Person 1: That’s it! I’m getting out of here!
Person 2: Where are you going?
Person 1: To do some good works. I need to balance out my law list!
Person 2: Hold on I’m going with you!
They exit.

What does it take?
So what does it take to open up?
What does it take to turn your head?
Life is life and never changes
It just goes on whether living or dead.
Legacy’s forge of blood and sweat
To help those in need is memories cry
Storing up treasure in steel and stone
To only help self is how memories die.
When do you decide to get serious?
About the time it’s too late?
Time can be your friend or foe
Can be productive or a waste.
Seek to serve Him with all you have
Open up your heart and head!
The life you change could be your own
Life worth living lives on when dead.
