My life is a church.
Usually its doors are open to all,
ready for the world, willing to welcome most
who would like to enter and know me
(except the dangerous ones).
This church holds a variety of people,
many visitors but a few faithful,
who will see it through its stages.
It was built for the glory of God
and I aim for those who tarry here
to see it all points up to Him.
It endures, not a mere hour-long TV show,
but ongoing, thru many seasons,
of Christmas celebration,
muddy doldrums,
summer outreach.
There is a mission statement on the wall,
and a few scandals behind closed doors.
My life is a church:
open and evolving,
built and ongoing,
imperfect and glorious.
