HOW

can I feel like saying goodbye when I don’t want to say anything at all.

The words that you deserve to hear are all locked up inside of me and no matter how hard I fight to say the things you need to hear.

The words just won’t come and maybe there is something wrong with me but, I seem to have lost my voice.

And so I sit here writing it all out and well I don’t want you to feel like I  taking the coward way out.

But, every time I try to talk to you the words just get stuck in my mouth that I just nod and move on.

Every step I take to give you this letter feels like I’m walking through concrete and soon I will get stuck with no way out.

The solution seems so simple but now it has become so complicated that there just really isn’t enough time to stop and walk away from the mess I’ve made.

So here I go leaving it on your desk as I walk away and I don’t look back but, I hear you tearing it apart and I speed up my steps and then I walk so fast out there door.

I’m running down the stairs as I head to my car trying to get out of this place as fast as I got in it.

  1. R New – I'm a 1959 Baby Boomer which has allowed me to see drastic changes in the Christian landscape. I grew up going to Church every Sunday, in those days the Bible still had strong roots in America. In my 20's, I participated with the Church in public meetings. There were about eight of us who would go out to a street corner or public park to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There were horns, a bass drum, singing, and a short Salvation message from the Bible. Suddenly, that all changed. The city passed ordinances to prohibit that type of public "solicitation." Today, it seems almost illegal to mention the Gospel to the younger generation. I retired at the age of 62. As a person living for the testimony of Jesus Christ, I always felt like a salmon swimming against the current. Work was always a struggle between trying to be a decent individual while dealing with "progressive" and "left wing" changes at the workplace. It's clear that there is a force in the world that is quietly eliminating the Gospel of Jesus Christ while making Christians look like enemies of humanity. At the same time, there is a force in the world that has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is definitely against Jesus Christ. John 3:16 is something I always want to cling to, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." I know the suffering of spiritual assault that hinders a constructive lifestyle & when frustration & anger seems to be the sole option - I know we can survive through the Cross of Christ. We have a home in the Kingdom of Heaven waiting for us.

    Wow! I think expressing words of love can be hard that way….but so are those times when handing someone a “two week notice”
