Prisons of the Heart
Down, deep below and far from light, Exists a prison cell, Where darkness rules, and pain and hurt And unforgiveness dwell. * Your unforgiveness locked the door And now stands there to guard. It trapped your pains of pasts inside This prison of your heart. * The only way is Truth and Light, Which sets…

“Listen…”
This evening, just before the sun set, I headed out with my camera into the rain. As the rain soaked into the dry earth, it was as if my garden sighed in relief. I was reminded of Moses’ song in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 32. Moses longed for God’s people to hear – and…

Trails of Love

Eating Seeds
I gave you my Word as a seed to plant Into the heart of the lost and faint. I tilled the ground and the seed was ready. The soil was nourished, the rains came steady. But fields lay barren, the harvest was scares. The fruit was little – instead there grew tares. I saw in…

Luring us In
I cheated. I admit. My smart-phone was a big help in luring them in. A quick internet search and after a few clicks, my phone was singing and calling the field sparrows I was hearing. After only a few minutes they were dancing on the path, wondering how this strange creature was speaking their language.…
