  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

-- Colossians 3:16-17 (NIV)

paradoxical
jesus walks in garbage
are your eyes open

never ending noise
its the sound of someone's life
welcome to our home

a loving family
similar to mine im sure
things aren't what they seem

one floor five people
slept on a bed of my own
bless the sacrifice

grabbing hands and sweat
immersed in gods sticky love
i am judy fang

120 pesos
a days wage enough to eat
not enough to live

magandang gabi
americans can't sell fish
its been a long day

walking home at night
see our beautiful mountain
god is in this place
