BAH, HUMBUG
I can sympathize with this poor cat. Especially this year. We go through all the motions of dressing our houses with lights and decorations. We shop (this year online) until we drop. We plan limited gatherings with no more than … Continue reading
HE IS THE SOURCE
These dark days of winter swell into an endless swirl of emotions, We can’t seem to pull ourselves out of sadness, depression or anxiety, There is only one way to eliminate those destructive feelings, But how do you harness the … Continue reading
“AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU”
This has been quite a year – one most of us would happily like to see drift into oblivion. From the very beginning of 2020 our lives have been changed, turned upside down, depressed, confused, challenged and discouraged. Little lights … Continue reading
A PLACE FOR ME
The bridge looks over a seething scene of poverty and loss, Though filled with much there is no hope for life at any cost, The desperate soul seeks recompense and tries to make amends, But there is nothing good enough … Continue reading
BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
When they arrived at the city of Bethlehem, it was time for the baby to be born. Anyone who has given birth knows that a baby usually arrives when it’s ready, not when we are. There wasn’t any place to … Continue reading
INTO THE LIGHT
Through the cobwebs of existence – through the darkness of our strife, Through the dankness of our sinning, through the wickedness of life, Through the eternal pits of hell and the helplessness we feel, A single beam of light from heav’n will … Continue reading
THE LONG, RUGGED ROAD
A child just turned a woman, became the chosen one, To hold the Son of God within – to be her firstborn Son. She wasn’t someone special – a lowly servant girl – But God had special plans for her … Continue reading
HEY, ANGEL OF THE LORD
If you’ve ever read, “The Best Christmas Pageant, Ever!” by Barbara Robinson, you’ll remember how the nativity was portrayed by the five Herdman children – the worst kids in town. The only reason they came to Sunday School was for the … Continue reading
WALKING IN THE LIGHT
The above painting is not one of Paul’s. I found it on the Internet, but it beautifully expresses how Jesus invites us to walk with Him in the light. He is the light of the world. There is no way … Continue reading
SHINING BRIGHT
A light streams through resistant clouds. It brings a glimpse of heaven. As once in darkness bathed in shrouds, it’s filled with hope once given. The light came forth in darkness, so many years ago. And shone upon the Son of … Continue reading
OUR CHRISTMAS CARD TO YOU
A light dusting of powdered sugar snow glistens in the light coming from an old country church. The streets are empty now after the hustle and bustle within this tiny town. On this holy of holiest nights, people find their way into … Continue reading
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Our lives on earth are temporal – a whisper hushed and still, We’re placed here by the Father’s hand and through His mighty will, He guides us through the depths of pain, He takes our hand and leads, He washes all our … Continue reading
GOING HOME
We have all experienced one of the most interesting, challenging, life changing years in our history. Not only have we been cut off from our families and friends, we’ve been asked to honor this holiday season by being kind to … Continue reading
OVER THE MEADOW
Over the meadow and through the woods, through wind and sleet and snow, We’d bundle up tight, fill up the car and off to Wisconsin we’d go, The roads were quite slippery, the vision unclear, but still we scurried along, … Continue reading
END OF ANOTHER WEEK
Lord, Your name is above all others. Your kingdom includes me and all who believe in You. I honor you and stand in awe of your holiness. I don’t deserve to be in Your presence. You say a word and Your … Continue reading
OH, CHRISTMAS TREE!
Poor Charlie Brown. His search for the perfect Christmas tree often left a lot to be desired, but his spirit for the season never waivered. When I think about my own childhood, I recall always waiting until the last minute … Continue reading
SPIRITS OF CHRISTMAS – PART III
“The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently, approached. When it came near him, Scrooge bent down upon his knee; for in the very air through which this Spirit moved it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery. It was shrouded in a deep … Continue reading
LITTLE TREASURES
