IT IS TIME
TO BRING FORTH
THE BUILDERS
THE TRUE BUILDERS OF THE CITY

FOR YOU SEE
I WILL DO
ALL
THAT I HAVE SPOKEN
I WILL DO
ALL
THAT I HAVE PLANNED
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
THE SCOPE IS LARGE
THE PLANS ARE
BEYOND
THE FINITE MIND
BUT
I WILL BEGIN TO SPEAK THEM TO YOU
AS YOU WORSHIP BEFORE ME

I WILL BEGIN TO SPEAK TO YOU
OF HOW TO BUILD MY CITY

EACH OF YOU WILL HAVE A JOB
WILL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY

ASK OF ME
WHAT I WOULD HAVE YOU DO
ASK OF ME
WHAT IS YOUR JOB
ASK OF ME
FOR I HAVE MUCH TO TELL YOU

ONLY CLEAN HANDS
WILL BUILD MY TEMPLE
MY CITY

BUT YOU ARE TOO BUSY
WITH THE RHETORIC AND PROGRAMS

I SEEK YOU
IN YOUR WORK
BUT YOU ARE IN ALLEGIANCE TO ANOTHER

I SEEK YOU

WHEN YOU ALL HEAR MY VOICE
LOUDLY AND CLEARLY

YOU SEEK TO MAKE YOURSELF ONE
WITHOUT
KNOWING MY VOICE

MY PLANS
FOR MY CITY

UNITY

THE WISE MAN AND THE FOOL

"I have a city planned," said the fool to the wise man
"I have many people helping and serving me
I have bought the best equipment and supplies
I have hired the finest architect
I have everything planned and arranged"

The wise man looked at the plans ----
"What is the foundation?" He asked the fool
"What will you stand on?
What supports this city - these buildings?
What will hold it up during the storm
the wind, the rain, the lightning, the thunder?
How is it grounded?"

"Of what importance is that, my friend,
when I have all these people
helping and supporting me?
Why do I need a foundation?"

The man built the city
He did not build it upon rock or soil
He did not build it upon a substance
which would stand
But he built this city
upon the plans and ideas of man
He built and he built . . .
Every extra hour
was poured into the labor
into this city

The wise man looked and pondered
Who will inhabit this city?
Who will want to come
when the labor is done?
Yes
the lights are bright and it looks festive
but something is missing
 something very important is missing

***
What is it?
Do you know?
Have you visited this city?
Have you gone places
where there is no foundation?
Have you become
a part of building something
that will not last?
that is not eternal?
that will not satisfy?
that consumes all your time?
***

The fool stopped his labor
his children gone now
his wife always busy with others
"The city ----  the city,"
he would cry in his sleep
The city --- the city
he pondered and worried over
One morning he did not wake up
The worries gone
the hours of labor wasted
The time spent on something feeble
It did not stand the test of time
It toppled with the 1st storm
It could not hold the weight
of the world's ways
What did you end up with, fool?
Where is your soul?
What have you left in your departure?
How will you be remembered?

The Wise Man
called for the debris of the city
to be burned
the ashes swept away
He hired laborers, one at a time,
to build a New City
a Bright City
a City with Hope
a City with a Future
He built with His Hands
and He Loved as He built
He Loved
those who came and helped
He Loved
the children that played
on the mounds of dirt
and asked Him
their millions of questions
He Loved
the older ones
who would just sit and watch
and sometimes comment
on how they would have done it
He Loved
the young men and women
ready to learn
ready to listen
and they would pass on
their expertise to the new ones

YES --- THE CITY!
   THE CITY!
IT WAS A JOY TO BUILD
for it was all built together
although
one by one they came
They all knew the plans
They all knew their job

It was done
completed
in record time
and all
were invited to this City
"COME AND FEAST
WE HAVE BUILT THIS FOR YOU!
COME AND ENJOY!
COME AND KNOW
THE LOVE THAT JOINS US TOGETHER!
COME AND KNOW
OUR MASTER PLANNER!
COME AND KNOW
THAT OUR FOUNDATION
IS SURE
IS SECURE
IS EVERLASTING!"

The storms came
the earth cracked
and the Foundation remained
STEADY - SECURE - EVERLASTING

***

SOMETHING YOU WANT TO BE
A PART OF?

A GREAT CITY
