FIRE & BLOOD IN THE STREETS
This is a rerun of a post written on 5/29/2010 during another time of protest and injustice. Pools of crimson stain the streets. People running, hiding, covering themselves and those near them, Fear ensues, then pain, followed by anger and rage, … Continue reading
A BRIDGE TO SOMEWHERE

NEW LIFE
The dark days of winter have finally passed, a new day awakes with the sun, The earth now gives way to the greening of grass, the squirrels are all on the run, A robin is perched on a sweet budding branch, a cardinal … Continue reading
WERE YOU THERE?
Were you there when the universe was formed,Did you watch as God crushed through solid rock,And made majestic mountains,Did you hear the sound of His breath,As He filled the sea with fish,Did you see His finger,As it carved rivers, lakes … Continue reading
GALLERY – WATER
Sheets of frozen shards slice through the mountain, On its path, the ice turns into glistening, fresh, cool water, Crashing, Rolling over jagged rock, Bubbling and steaming, As it falls to still waters below, The finger of God, Pushing it ever forward, Cutting … Continue reading

AWAITING JESUS’ RETURN
Life is but a whisper in the scheme of things, We take our first inhalation of air, And begin a journey, So far we’ve been safely encased within our mother’s womb, Protected from the elements, in a familiar space all our own, … Continue reading
DEATH HAS LOST ITS STING
Within our most desperate hours, when shadows fill the air, When life is strangled from our souls, when nothing thrives in there, We may see Satan’s work at hand, destruction and dispair, But God provides the answers now, with just … Continue reading
COME FOLLOW ME

WHAT GIFT CAN I BRING?
There is no gift greater than laying down your life for another. Jesus did so for us, even when we were in the pit of despair, unclean and hopeless. He died so we wouldn’t have to. How can we ever … Continue reading
SPRING THAW
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed… Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.”Henry David Thoreau … Continue reading
MELTING A FROZEN HEART
That which once streamed freely from the mountains, Crashing endlessly over pebbles and rocks, Catching a glimmer of sunlight, Feeling the warmth as it winds through nooks and crannies, Until it reaches its final destination, In time, temperatures fall below zero, … Continue reading
NEW LIFE FROM OLD

MOUNTAIN SUNRISE
Enshrouded by the dark of night, majestic mountains stand upright, Protecting all that lays below, defending it from ice and snow, Though winds will swirl and rain may fall, they stand with purpose through it all, A barrier and a fortress … Continue reading
