GOD  IS  ALL  ABOUT BEND


Bend is beautiful …. lose your bend
and you’ll be seen as an old lady ….
Smile. Okay old men too. Be flexible
with your mind and your heart and
your opinions. If you forget about
bending, folks will avoid you at every
party and every family get together.
Bend. Bend those face muscles. Smile.
Bend your ears. Listen up and listen
to others. If you don’t get what they
are saying. Tell them: “Please explain.”
If you don't pray, bend your knees. Pray.


Smile. It’s not always about age.
Take the father of the Prodigal Son.
Now there was a father who could bend.
Take the older brother. Now there was
a stiff who couldn’t bend. He was stuck
in have to’s  - instead of want to’s. So God 
is all about bend - giving and forgiving. I 
was wondering, maybe the whole of creation bends. If you could go out into outer space maybe you’ll find yourself back home in inner space, bent back into your mother’s womb.
