On His Blindness
I really liked "On His Blindness"! It gives a really good example of how Christians and Christianity is. I think what it was saying was if we were just to "waste our light" we are wasting the opportunity to spread the light God has given us to others. If we work "after God's own heart" for example like David, our resources here on earth are greater spent being after God's heart. I personally got a little but of a reference to that between the lines. In this poem it asks if God looks for gifts for him and works that we do to get to heaven. He only looks for in us is bearing his witness upon us and to show that in everyday (why do you think we have the kids song "This little light of mine"?) God wants the thousands of us working for him to not hide the talents we have, but to let them shine and not let them die. If we do this and stand by God we will be rewarded.

I'm in love with your perspective on this poem. Even though it's different than mine, I see where you're coming from and completely agree! Your reading in between the lines goes to show that we all see things differently, which is so cool to me. Fantastic job.
