I'D RATHER RUN

I'd rather run
  across hot coals
Than sit here, Lord.
Running seems
  so much more
  commendable.
But if You're
  telling me
    to stay 
I'll learn somehow
  to sit with vigor. 

 —Nancy Spiegelberg

"Thou knowest my downsitting
and mine uprising; thou
understandest my thought 
afar off."       
Psalm 139:2
