The Seven Sons of Sceva – a poem
They walked with borrowed thunder,Seven sons in a single line,Calling on a Name they’d only heard,thinking all would be just fine. “By Jesus whom Paul preachesCome out!” they boldly cried;But heaven’s power is never heldBy lips where faith has died.

The Bearing of the Name
Prompt: What is your mission? The Bearing of the NameWe do not peddle polished hope in markets loud and cheap,Nor hang salvation like a shawl on shoulders bent with sleep.This is no bright and easy coin to clink upon the stone,But something nearer to a seed a sower casts, alone,Into the unplowed, waiting dark where …
