Read this poem today and loved it.
The poet is Julie Stoner, a stay at home mom who publishes poetry while homeschooling her kids.
This poem speaks right to many of us here at RBC.
“I did not come to call the righteous” Matthew 9:9-13
We ninety-nine obedient sheep;
we workers hired at dawn’s first peep;
we faithful sons who strive to please;
forsaking prodigalities;
we virgins who take pains to keep
our lamps lit, even in our sleep;
we law-abiding Pharisees;
we wince at gospels such as these.
