The Belly of the Beast

Posted by Matt Tullos July 30, 2015May 11, 2016Blog, Poetry, Spoken Word, Uncategorized

Everybody ends up in the belly of the beast. There are few exceptions from the greatest to the least. You stumble into quicksand. You’re weary of the world. Lies wreck your reputation. Insults, viciously, are hurled. Addiction lies in dormancy then rears it’s ugly head. Depression sinks in slowly, Like the whispers of the dead. more »

Save Me

Posted by Matt Tullos October 21, 2014May 11, 2016Blog, Poetry, Sermon Readings

Do not save me from the storm. Do not keep me safe and warm. Save me from my love of ease. Save me from my vanities. Save me from deceptive pride. And all that I, in shame, would hide. Save me from my foul ambition. My self-centered, duped condition. From all that speaks so well more »

Movement 1 Small and deep from Ocean’s breeze The beast and birds, grass and trees God’s great creation- verse libre’ The divine grace, and soul commision The lonesome wish for one decision The burning of the wasteland Sinks to shores of tumultuous consequence And in the storms, slicing through the soul Fear, love, wounds, doubt more »

Just a Touch

Posted by Matt Tullos August 3, 2014May 11, 2016Blog, Poetry, Sermon Readings, Spoken Word

Hope and mercy shine through the threshold of love everlasting The eyes of ever born grace Just a touch As she crawls through the mass of shuffling feet and the cacophony of voices. Eternity kisses the distance between normal and divine. Speaks the woman: I have heard of you. I don’t ask for your embrace and yet more »

flesh and blood do not make manhe is wildly and ever alivenever ambivalent or fleeting when fire and flood collide.Man bids farewell to the shifting steps of boyhood. His ancient blood leads him not into abundant whims and brief adulationbut a man is daring in times of sudden catastrophic overturehe rarely counts the costs of selfhe more »

Mysterious Peace

Posted by Matt Tullos June 28, 2014May 11, 2016Blog, Poetry, Sermon Readings, sermon readings, Spoken Word

There is a mysterious peace when you have been left with only Jesus. when there is desolation and pain— when the burden is greater than you thought you could bear— when the darkness gathers around you— even after goodbyes are said— He is the faithful friend who is ever beside you when all others forsake more »

What Happened Here?

Posted by Matt Tullos June 17, 2014May 11, 2016Blog, Poetry, Sermon, Sermon Readings, sermon readings, Spoken Word

if you asked what happened here my reply brief and sure would be: i tasted loneliness and found it pleasing. i dreamed of God and washed the floors. i listened to nothing and everything that surrounded it. i swam at midnight and watched the moon gazing over the louisiana clouds. i wailed and no one more »

The Love of God

Posted by Matt Tullos June 16, 2014May 11, 2016Blog, Poetry, Sermon Readings, Spoken Word

His love is perfect. It never fails me. His love knows no limit, no barrier, no faltering weakness His love is for me. Wrapped in grace and tied together in time. Hidden, a treasure worth more than any riches on earth. Promised before my birth. It consumes me His love is every bit of what I more »
