Each individual is created to be a vessel, through whom, the Creator carries out His purpose on Earth. Therefore, each one is necessarily and uniquely gifted/anointed to do so. Outward appearance is deceiving: some of His most beautiful treasures lie inside damaged - or disheveled - vessels. Watch for them, wait for them... Do not judge them by their flesh, rather observe them through the purified eyes of your heart.


Poem Artwork

 Professorial

 
A slouched back leaning
white-knuckled over a
desk stacked with Freshman
precision.
 
Erudite... but shabby.
Rigid brow and
fallen jowl.
 
Weak blue eyes peering
hardness from behind
stained spectacles.
 
White flakes dusting
spit-tamed hair clinging
to a sweat-covered forehead
and loosely framing a very
odd-shaped head.
 
Gritty beard perched
above an archaic plaid
bow tie which graces the
fusty grey tweed.
 
Not pretty.
But when he speaks
baritone notes of 
knowledge become a 
flute of learning.

I can see the person so well from your description that the picture isn't needed.

You brought that description alive with vibrant words of detail.

While I enjoyed reading this, it made me wonder… In those few short years and I was called a professor, did my students picture me as eccentric as you have described here. Fortunately I was young then and had not developed the kind of timeless professorial attributes you describe so well. Thank goodness!

You said it right Rhonda! Well done! Yes, we all have God-given gifts. I will always be learning and educating others. There is so much to explore without even going out the door. I love working with college students! God bless you and your family as we come very close to celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Have a Blessed Christmas! John Michael
