Man – The Dwelling Place of God (Sunday Quote)
“From man’s standpoint the most tragic loss suffered in the Fall was the vacating of this inner sanctum by the Spirit of God. At the far-in hidden center of man’s being is a bush fitted to be the dwelling place of the Triune God. There God planned to rest and glow with mortal and spiritual…

Deconstruction
I am sitting here in the middle of summer, bogged down by winter. In early spring our roof partially collapsed from the weight of ice and snow. We noticed our dilemma in the middle of April after the snow finally melted. Since then we have been busy with insurance adjusters, structural engineers, desk adjusters, and…

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.…

The Unseen Hand
An Unseen Hand has formed this place – From nothing made all that is seen. The Hand which spans all time and space With gentle care formed you and me. This Hand has weighed the mountains grand. Deep in its hollow measured seas. It counted dust and grains of sand, Set boundaries for all living…

Like a Wall
She was holding on to my hand as she walked across the stone wall. She talked away and skipped along knowing she was safe, there on top of the wall, which ran along the path. Suddenly she stopped. Her eyes became fear-filled and her whole body tense. Her grip tightened on my hand. “Mom, I…

Comfort’s Calling
A tiny voice did beckon me While I walked roads of faith Convinced my tired heart to see That comfort was the way. I followed it to paths of ease (A small turn I must say) From toiling roads soon I was freed, Walked on, content and safe. No worries here, where mild winds soared…

Despite the Storm
The alarm was set and my walking shoes were waiting. I had every intention of heading out early to see the sunrise. However, I did not wake up so soft music but to furious lighting and thunder. Instead of walking, I sat down and penned a poem. I pray it blesses you. Despite the Storms…

Feed Your Faith
Faith is like a certain provision we take along on our road of deeds. Faith feeds our courage to step out. Faith knows that raging waves submit under the Master’s feet, and understands that rushing waters part with a Word of Christ’s command. Faith is not needed for that which we can do ourselves, But…
