Earthy Brown, Heavenly Bound: Tied by Love Boundless

Welcome back to Loving Rascal, where we explore the beautiful, messy, and deeply spiritual dimensions of human connection. What happens when love bridges the divides of time, space, culture, ethnicity, and background? Let's dive into a poetic reflection on divine alignment and earthly devotion.Inspired by the quiet strength of nature and the timeless truths of Ephesians, this poem traces a journey from isolation to a sacred, soul-deep union. It is a tribute to the "son of soil" and his "lioness"—two souls rooted in the earth but forever reaching for the skies."Earthy Brown, Heavenly Bound" is a celebration of a love that is both fiercely passionate and tenderly protective. Moving from the simple imagery of twin trees on a campus lawn to the profound mystery of Christ and His bride, this poem reminds us that true love is an intentional choice to weave our stories together under one light—one colour.


She did her part and gave her trusting heart, 

To clothe herself within his earthy brown—

Reflecting well the steady son of soil

Who toils to build a lasting Kingdom crown.


She softly came to take her chosen place,

And weave her story into his deep shade;

Her elegant gait, a calm and quiet grace,

More precious than the finest jewels made.


He holds the warmth of earth upon his chest,

A textured strength where she can safely rest;

The lonely campus tree that stood alone,

Now finds its twin, and isolation's flown.


Two branches lean to catch the cooling breeze,

To whisper secrets through the dancing trees.

No longer separate in the quiet night,

Red, white, and blue now blend into his light.


Reflecting Christ who claims His chosen bride,

In bright Ephesians where the shadows hide,

This sacred mystery wakes, a love that binds,

Transcending space to marry souls and minds.


He unites poles once severed and apart,

From sacred-profane, to the human heart.

Like heaven and earth, or Jew and Gentile tied,

A gentle union, now as groom and bride.


Before the brown cross in the chapel's peace,

The restless longing finds a sweet release;

She is a kind soul, filled with gentle grace,

While he is passionate in love's embrace.


Fierce and possessive, he guards his prize,

Like a jealous God behind the skies.

His chest burns when she walks away;

He sings of care to soothe the day.


He holds his lioness with tender care,

A sacred bond they beautifully share.

Rooted on earth, yet reaching for the skies,

Their love reflects the truth that never dies.

Celebrate Jesus Christ, The Light of Life and Love, this Diwali

As we celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, let us remember that the most profound and irreversible darkness is death. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world (John 8:12).” Further, he declared, “I am the resurrection and life... He who believes in me will live even if he dies (John 11:25).” The light of the world came to reverse the darkness of death by his resurrection and a promise of future resurrection for all who believe in him. Resurrection is the only known cure for death. Homoeopathy, Allopathy,  or Ayurveda cannot reverse death. Only resurrection can reverse death. Jesus cured death. He also cured hatred with his love. That is why no religion or philosophy has defeated the gospel even after two thousand years of Jesus' advent. Martin Luther King Jr compared love to light and hatred to darkness. He said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  [1]   Love is light. Jesus is that loving ...

The Altar of the Unapproved

### Walking the Broken Road: 23 Years of Faith, Fire, and the Search for Grace They don’t like me, but they won't say it to my face. Instead, they use polite euphemisms to mask their disapproval, leaving me to decipher the unspoken heavy air around me. It has been twenty-three years since I walked out of my father’s house, leaving behind my security to follow a Lord I barely knew. In the decades since, that choice has brought me face-to-face with isolation, family heartbreak, cross-cultural friction, and the painful sting of broken relationships. I have known the joy of ministering to the forgotten on the margins, and the crushing weight of feeling entirely unseen by the very structures meant to reflect God's love.  Today, the battle has shifted inward, to a point where even choosing what clothes to wear feels like an exercise in avoiding offense. When the applause fades, the mega-churches look away, and the people you love distance themselves, you are left with raw, unanswered...

You Think You Know Me?

Poetry is often at its best when it refuses to be neat. True to the spirit of a loving rascal, this piece is a collection of beautiful contradictions—mixing the chaotic energy of football, the stinging reality of social divides, and the raw, unedited nature of real love. It is an invitation to look past the surface and see what it truly means to know someone. Here is "You Think You Know Me?"   To know me, you must first learn how to feel. You must hold the green rage of betrayal deep inside, Turning your face upward to seek comfort from above, Only to find it falling softly as the rain. And in that downpour, you must unleash a curved Messi left-footer —A ball borrowed from a Spanish fan— Painting a messy red, dangerous yet full of fun. You must dance when those skies break open, And taste the cold sweetness of ice cream in the storm. You must find the same wonder in the burning sun, As you do in the silver moon and stardust.   You cannot look away from the concrete floor, Whe...
