After All
I am so grateful to my best Friend who has stuck it out with me for the past 30 years. (I wrote this a couple of years ago. The words are still true today!)

A Part of the Whole
As I was walking through the woods a few days ago, I came across a single blossom, suspended by an almost invisible thread of spider web. It took some time to catch this delicate flower with my phone camera. An ever so slight breeze kept moving it out of view of my small lens. During my…

Fearful Neighbors
I am having a hard time getting used to them. Quite frankly, they are a bit annoying. I think I made the property look way too inviting. At first, they both took a careful glance at the house and left. Then they came back – for good. Our neighborhood hasn’t been the same since they…

The Center of a Square
Today read about a “square poem”. I loved it and tried it myself Made me think about my theology. I felt like playing Sudoku with Jesus! Here it goes … (it doesn’t quite rhyme … will work on that) You can read it line by line. The columns repeat the lines. In …

What Kind of Hate …
I know that none, not one, would come To God, without belief In Jesus Christ, His only Son. But yet, I rarely grieve. I know that no sincerity In faulty spun ideas Will bring lost souls prosperity But yet, I will not speak. It’s funny how my mouth will move To talk about the vain,…

Amazing Grace
Awake the grace that you have shown – Though all my sins from birth you’ve known – The grace that showed my dire need For heart and soul to be set free. Awake the grace that knows the law, Looks to myself to find the flaw, That knows the price for sin is death –…
