Immanuel
Immanuel
My Lord
and His songs are ready.
He proclaims, He sanctifies
the heralds
and the stars,
shielding God’s glory.
I see the
divine love,
I see the
wisdom of the heavens.
Painting by Brandon Atwood (2015)
Greetings from the booming metropolis that is Pleasant View, Tennessee. I am a man of constant spiritual highs and spiritual lows. I pray that I serve God at my highest even when I am lowest.
Ben was a founding member of Rambling Ever On and a regular contributor and editor until his untimely death in April 2020.
We wrote a tribute to him, but the best tribute you can give him would be to read all the wonderful poems, short stories, book reviews, theological essays, and ridiculous satire pieces he wrote for us. Pass them on to others and maybe allow Ben to inspire you to write something yourself.

This is really a poem of praise and adoration in full recognition that only God is worthy and able to save us, and that we are so unworthy for Him to do so because He is infinitely greater than us. Still, if we call on him, He will deliver us through Jesus. Brandon’s painting goes very, very well here.
God is entirely sovereign and empowers whenever he chooses. When He proclaims, when He sanctifies, when He empowers, there is nothing that can stand in His way. Nothing. His ultimate plan will be accomplished for man no matter what.
Ben…the soul, mind, and heart of a poet. Thank you, my friend. Praying for you.
