So we built the wall,

and the wall was joined together

              to half its height.

For the people had 

         a mind to work.

                 Nehemiah 4. 6

(What has God set before me?

That which is proximate 

     enlarges and deepens my vision,

not what is way off in a distance.

Willingness in the ordinary,

faithful to Him right where I am,

                even in this,

is how God builds His kingdom.

There is nothing mundane

in God's economy,

nothing He cannot use

       in extraordinary ways).
