The title Bagatelles captures the light spirit of the brief poems, some with playful nuances and others more penetrating. From the French, the word suggests a trifle, even a game, and composers Ludwig von Beethoven and Gerald Finzi have written short classical pieces, often just a minute or two in length. In these traditions, Thomas Bonner, Jr.'s poems touch on daily life, places and customs, troublesome issues, visual moments, and questions of self. Like the musical bagatelles, these poems avoid pretention and aim toward a joy of life.

The world seems divided on so many fronts that the world is literally coming apart at the seams. We seem to be losing valuable connections everywhere. Community is essential to regaining and maintaining these lost connections.Because God's very nature is relational, He has put in our DNA to be relational. Being relational, at its very core, is that there are standards that guide our very existence. Where do these standards come from? The Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us to show kingdom principles that can restore, heal, reconcile, and save us.Our lives are like a vapor, but what we do on earth matters. God, the author and finisher of our faith, is asking you to seek Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and then love your neighbor as yourself. He is asking you to engage in community with Him and with other faith believers. God's ultimate goals are to see His great name and His ways known around the world. Our purpose is to glorify God. This is our testimony of getting to know God and how community is essential in living life-on-life with Him and fellow believers.
