Gilbert is a friend of mine (online and in-person); we both serve on our church’s
Board of Deacons. And we’re both interested in poetry.
Jared
posted this one today, entitled “Three
Envelopes.” This is how it starts:
The envelopes sit on my
desk, addressed and stamped.
Forever
stamps, which never lose
value. A promise
that this letter will
reach him,
no matter how much time
has passed.
Or what change.
You should read it all,
and you can by visiting Jared’s blog, Total Depravity.

This was really powerful, Glynn. Thank you for sharing. I had NO idea that Jared wrote so beautifully, or that he did at all. It looks as if our deacons are men of many talents.
