You can read along in Charlie’s blog “Words Twice a Week” at https://wordstwiceaweek.blogspot.com. Here is Charlie’s Gospel poem and prayer:

On the road from where
  We’ve been to where we're going -
  A new beginning.
How comfortable are we with that?

 God of that time, and this time, and all time -
 Guide us as we live these days.
 Help us let go of things that would hold us back –
   nets and possessions
   directions or destinations,
   resumes, references, reports,
   preconceived notions of who deserves or belongs,
Help us hold on to your hand (and Word)
as we walk toward and through
the Time of your Peace.  (That’s what I like to call “The Kingdom of Heaven”!)
