I haven't been blogging, but I've been writing devotions for the website www.digdeeperdevotions.com
every other week. We've begun our series "Major themes of the minor prophets." I haven't written one on Jonah yet there, but I'll post a poem here that I wrote years ago.


Fleeing
from God

Silly Jonah
Turning his back,
Going the opposite direction,
as if he could flee
from God’s presence.

Silly Me
Closing my eyes
As if God couldn’t see me,
As I run away
from His presence.

Praise God
He never turns His back
He sends whatever it takes
To bring us back
into His presence.
