I walk into the dreary day – I try to see the sun. For answers and the healing pray. I walk – keep pressing on. ~ I walk though fog, I walk through rain. I walk through wind and snow. I know that I don’t walk in vain, For Christ knows where I go. ~ […]

Longing
We long … Longing for the earth to release her beauty in spring. Longing for coolness and shade on a sun-scorched summer’s day. Longing for the harvest to ripen in fall. Longing for snow to cover the gray earth in winter. Longing again for the last snow to melt. We go on longing and seeking. […]
