Columbia Faith and Values just sponsored a regional spiritual poetry contest. Out of forty submissions three were chosen for the top three spots. The judges were so kind as to settle on my poem for first place:
I believe
God is
regardless of what I believe
I believe
what I believe
changes year by year
I believe
God comes
whether I call or not
I believe
my turning point
was being believed in
I believe
but trust more
and that has made the difference
