Edifice chasm revisited…

had a pseudo David Mamet moment this morning -
thought I’d try my hand @ rewriting the part of the chasm scene where
Chris and Jenny are both on the chasm.

not that it would become actual dialogue in the play,
but I want to get in the habit of getting stuff like this down.

none of us deserve it,
some of us get it -
and then only because we ask.

asking’s the hard part -
we don’t want to ask,
we want to earn it by stacking up
enough stuff to impress God.

it’s never enough and even if it was,
it doesn’t last long enough.

but you asked - and He gave -
nothing gets in the way of that
height, depth, life, death - nothing.

you asked he gave - it’s all paid for -
end of story - you’re forgiven.
everything.
