OverviewJamie began attending Easton Church of Christ in the spring of 2025. I could see immediately that he had a deep desire to serve God with all of his might. That desire came from recognizing the amazing Creator we have. I soon became aware of his longing to express his awe of the God we serve. His expressions come in the form of song and poetry. Jamie has reopened the door to special music on Sunday mornings at Easton. It was never locked shut, just not opened for a long period of time. His passion for singing led him to join the Easton Express, our Sunday morning worship band. Jamie also has a keen knack for free verse and blank verse poetry. He often sends me a poem via text, and I am always amazed by his ability to describe God as the amazing Creator and Sustainer He is. He gives equal credence to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and to His awesome Holy Spirit, who encapsulates our lives when we do God's will. I'm anxious to see this new collection of poems that will undoubtedly magnify the cause and effect, the blessings, the promises, and the revelations of our Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Preacher Jeff Strickler, Easton Church of Christ Examples: WE WILL NOT BE SILENT The world feels heavier The walls fall closer Even as I cry with my voice The grand Composer helps me make the easiest choice Singing heavenly praise Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice We will not be silent Rise up, brothers and sisters Our hearts will not fear the earthly power of the black lister Raise our faces to the Creator Never losing courage To do what is right Sometimes, it seems hopeless We just need to be reminded That Lord Jesus has already written the last page To the greatest story And upon the redemptive stage Sits a King like no other Sin, once and for all, will be smothered Leaving blessings for His people Granting strength and peace To all who repent Be strong and let your heart take courage All who hope in the Lord. WHEN SANITY BECAME INSANE I wish someone would explain When a difference of opinion becomes hate When sanity became insane Words of peace; violence did make We stand at a precipice Looking over the edge Shaking at certain destruction As we willingly jump over the ledge All in the name of elusive certainty A desperate need for universal acceptance Why do you care what people think? How do words lead you to violence? Breathe, breathe, and pray in silence The world is so much bigger, yet smaller than we realize Seek gratitude and accept grace Then maybe, just maybe, calm will materialize Dispelling evil Embracing unity. FORGIVE THE UNFORGIVABLE I walk in sin no more I dance with the heavenly Father Staring at the stars in wonder I put my finger On a page, it lingers A page in Colossians It reads that we have been chosen Holy and beloved Telling us to put on a heart of compassion Spread kindness to everyone we meet Even those who don't understand Live with humility in every situation Love with gentleness As the world comes at you aggressively Embrace patience with family We are all in need of grace And no matter what, forgive Forgive the unforgivable Love the impossible Then forgive again and again Until reconciliation is achieved All our sins were nailed to the cross The ultimate sacrifice from a God who calls us home.
