The Silence Thief
Guard yourself from him who takes, He who steals – the silence breaks, Quiet moments he destroys. Sound and racket he employs. Blasts your days with deaf’ning noise. Where he treads, the quiet shakes. Priceless gifts of peace and rest, Costly stillness which is blessed, He thieves treasures, please beware! Chase God’s quiet and HIS…

His Light
His Light appears for steadfast eyes As beams pierce through the darkest night. His Hope breaks forth to troubled hearts While veils of darkness tear apart. His Peace, a promised gift from Him Who overcame the dark within. Yesterday, I walked to find some peace and rest. The pictures above are from that walk. God…

Perfect Strangers
The phone rang and in an instant our lives changed. While I forget many ordinary tasks I perform during the day, I will never forget what I was doing when my son called me on his cell at 8:33 a.m. to tell me that his older brother collided with a vehicle while they both were…

Milestones
After ten days in the ICU and on a ventilator, our son is finally breathing on his own, without a breathing tube. He was extubated this morning and is slowly coming back from a long sleep. We are filled with joy as we are talking with him and even made a few jokes. He is…

To My Praying Blogging Friends
If you are a praying friend, I want to ask for your prayers. On Wednesday, July 23, my eighteen year old was involved in an accident. He is currently in ICU with severe lung damage in critical, but stable condition. While on a bike-ride with a group of young people he collided with a vehicle…
