And suddenly looking around

they no longer saw anyone

                but Jesus only.

                  Mark 9. 8

(Keep my eyes on You,

not on what is

    swirling around me,

not on what distracts

or instills fear,

    but Your Presence.)

Beware of the satisfaction

of sinking back and saying --

      "It can't be done;"

you know it can be done

           if you look to Jesus.
