The Song
Let’s take a walk into the night, Come to the fields with me.No man-made glitz, no city lightsHere blind your eyes to see. They say this universe so vastBegan by chance and time.But look real close – there see the past –Behold! God’s forged design. So many stare and think they’re wise,Search hard for life…

IN THE BEGINNING
Early one morning – the sun was still weak, I stepped through an old rusted gate.Walked into my garden and took peekWhat I saw, I know, was my fate. Overcome by a wonder I’d never seenAs if traveled the universe vast I looked and there from a vine shone a beam, Drew me in to the way of…

Always the Right Time
The sign wasn’t suppose to be there. I had other plans for the nail that holds it now. But each time I look at it, I remember the story and the goodness of God and smile. We were at Bible Study around Christmas time several years ago. I had posed a question about our true…

Awareness
Awareness … of the sound of the ice breaking and snow crunching beneath my feet … Awareness … of my heartbeat drumming in unison with the pace of my walk … Awareness … of my breath, visible only for a short second … Awareness … of the sunbeam breaking through the clouds … light having…

Walk With Me
Walk with me. Let’s remember the spring when we planted gardens and watched them grow. Walk with me. Let’s remember the summer when we sat at the beach and watched the kids play. Walk with me. Let’s remember the fall when we ate apples and watched the leaves dance. Walk with me. The path might…

Silence
The house is quiet. The seconds drip out of the clock into my ears. I remember my grandmother’s clock – and different seconds ticking away. Slower ones made their way across a quiet table, set for two. Time for quiet. Time for silence – Only the dripping of seconds. I don’t remember what was said…
