A Cannonball Into The River of Life

As an act of pure defiance
against all negativity,
let us smile for no reason at all,
sing an old hymn of faith, and
just plain stubbornly believe that
we're headed to a better place.

In the light of grace, let's be kind to
each other, and to ourselves. Sing
"Amazing Grace" for a verse or two.
Shout "Hallelujah!" with glee, as if
you had a rope swing on the Tree of
Life, and were doing a cannonball into the River
of Life.

Refuse to surrender your joy, your faith,
or your hope. Pray for blessings on others.
Laugh out loud. Tell a silly joke or story.
Kneel in prayer. Wiggle your toes in clover.
Seek the peace of God, and relax your body.

Live lightly and refuse to over stress your
brain. Let your faith be a bright, strong, and
defiant joy joy - - - that most folks can not understand.

Yes, "Hallelujah" . . . a cannonball . . . into the River
of Life. Amen.
