I agree!! We need to be real with God if we want Him to cut through the crap...

I tried to comment the day you put this up but the internet wouldn't let me. Or God wouldn't. ;-)

Great poetry. A vivd image, certainly.

As to the point, absolutely I agree God does not want us to be lukewarm ... which I guess polite would indicate. But I've always wondered, seriously, does he want us cold? He said, essentially, cold is better than lukewarm, but does He want us cold?

Seems to me, our culture has gotten comfortable with our Job right to accuse God. But Job, when he came face to face with God, had his face to the ground and was repenting in dust and ashes.

What if "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief" characterized our prayers more than r-rated tirades?

Yes, I think the truly genuine prayer is what we need to pray if we're really praying. It has to be from a heart even if a broken or ravaged heart.

Great!

I grew up with the high-sounding, almost-too-holy prayers pronounced from pulpits and congregants, and have little patience for prayers that don't get to the point. Yes, we have a sample prayer from Christ Himself, but that doesn't mean we approach God with a formula or an agenda. Who do we think we're kidding? He knows everything before we think or speak it; He's just waiting for us to talk to Him.

Brings a whole new image to the church of Laodicea. Certainly jars the picture we have of God from paintings with soft lighting.

Somebody gave me five stars on this poem in feedburner! Thanks whoever did that.

LL, I aim for visceral responses. Sometimes things like this walk a fine line between getting a cheap rise and being good. Personally, I always enjoy the gross-out factor. : )

Camille, oh my. You are hilarious!

I guess I have a lot to learn about poetry---not just what it is, but what it snot.

Not sure what to say. I mean, it's great. And it's awful too. : )
