Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

In the world of comic books, Superman had his place to retreat, the Fortress of Solitude. It was located near the North Pole, far away from the world's distraction and hectic pace. It was his secret place. I also have a secret, retreat place. It's a place to meet with a real-life hero, Jesus of Nazareth.

I used to call it "my cave", but it's not a place to escape from life, nor is it a hole in the ground. I don't run to it only when things go bad, or when I get wounded. When I'm there, I'm not in the dark. You see, it's a place filled with light. When I go there the atmosphere of Heaven surrounds me. It's where I find strength, strategies, and revelation. It's my high tower. It's my personal Fortress of Solitude.

The Stoning Candidate



Ever wonder why He wrote on the ground?

the rocks were found
ready to be hurled
He wrote on the ground
my destiny unfurled

the rocks were dropped
my accusers stopped
what did He write
that turned faces white
follow Him I must
the One that I trust

He sees me differently
than all other men
treats me wonderfully
because it's when
the bulk of my pain, 
soaked up and sponged
the heart pains soothed
while sin-crimes expunged
evaporate to dark mist
and sink into dark past

but ongoing lingering
of whispers about me
judgments cranked
where God has no mem'ry
those that take sides
have no understanding
their thoughts of me just
like hot iron branding

head below heart
positioned to depart
to the place of meeting
to heal heart's bleeding
Yeshi does understand
life's cruel cold hand
yes, He does understand

He's both eraser
—and embracer

forgiven and held
my spirit propelled
shot into the heights
without former frights
now i could face them
now it's no problem

why should i care
about man's approval?
i, as reject,
became His project

when life goes south
and things go bust
instead of hardening
developing crust
run to Him
the one to trust
to Him alone, yes,
to Him, you must.
