Game with Minutes

In high school I heard
Of Frank Laubach,
Who challenged believers
To think of God
Once a minute,
Every minute;
A “Game with Minutes.”

This always felt like death to me,
Trying and always, always failing
To keep Christ in mind.

I realize now that
I hate games.
I hate playing them
Because if I don’t lose,
Someone else will.

So while this game should have sounded
Enjoyable, delightful, encouraging,
To me it just said

Loser.
