Prayer is sometimes like writing a letter to God. Before I write a letter, I imagine what I am going to say. The trouble is that I often think what I would like to write to folks or my friends or even to God, and then when I sit down to write, all I can think of is the weather. Now, what about that letter to God? We might say how we are feeling about life-- (This is just what I want to say to a friend). We might bring to God our happiness in all that we are part of-- Food, shelter, warmth, care, love, responsibility. We might tell how we are needed, for this is the great gift-- And we are needed because of the needs of others. We might admit our puzzlement about life-- And very secretly, we would try to see what we have done wrong-- To think of going to those people and saying so-- We think it very secretly--but surely. There are many things to write to God.
"The Tie That Binds" is a compilation of poems written over the lifetime of a Congregationalist minister. The poet and preacher, Richard Carleton, tells us about his faith from day to day, talking about love, philosophy, children, family, and his memories. Within these personal reflections, he speaks of the mystery and eloquence of God. He creates extraordinary pictures of God from the ordinary events in our lives. This is the key! Richard Carleton lets us know that God is central to his thinking and feeling and living. It is both a refuge for him and an exhortation for the rest of us. If you were to accept--just for the time it takes to read these verses--that God is a real part of our lives, you might see your acceptance of our Creator and Redeemer assume a new and expanded reality: God as the underlying force! These poems let you see a man of deep faith, and at the same time, ask yourself about your own faith.
