SATURDAY SABBATICAL
When we search for distant places, When we walk uncharted lands, Our hearts are filled with wonder, Our minds hold no demands, A trail that leads to winter, A path beside the sea, A walkway through a forest, Whatever it … Continue reading
FRACTURED FRIDAY -BRIDGING THE GAP

WHERE EVER I GO, HE IS THERE
When answers to questions are hard to find, We struggle within and our minds go blind, We try as we will to figure it out, We fret and we worry, we cry and pout, We try to do what is out … Continue reading
LIFE LINES
(This pencil drawing lives on our living room wall. It is one of my favorites works of Pauls art. The detail in every inch is like the patchwork of our lives. It has won awards.) Each line is like a … Continue reading

THROW BACK THURSDAY – GOD’S IMMENSITY
When my husband worked as a naturalist, he would demonstrate what the world looks like from above. He also highlighted the fact that we don’t often realize that we may be walking over an entire living community without even knowing … Continue reading
SATURDAY STILLNESS
Words intertwine through the tapestry of my mind, As the flying shuttle weaves its way through my thoughts and emotions, Each new thread engages the fabric of my being, I am pushed, enveloped, integrated, tied in knots at times. Each … Continue reading
SATURDAY SOLACE
PEACE IN THE VALLEY Trees absorb the swirling power of a raging creek after a storm, They stand at attention and then bow as they receive a cold splash of refreshment, Branches whisper to each passing droplet, As if speaking a silent prayer … Continue reading
CALM AFTER THE STORM
The sky declares the glory of the Lord, His power rises in the turmoil of a storm, He stirs the clouds with His little finger, And they obey, Gathering into multitudinous troops, They bow before Him, They join together to fill the … Continue reading
LESSONS FROM NATURE
A seed drops, It burrows and nestles into rich soil, It springs forth with new life, Fragile branches at first, Growing strong with each passing day, Expanding, stretching, embracing the sky, Reaching for the face of its Creator, It bends … Continue reading
CITY SCAPES
City within a darkened world, has beauty all its own, The wires that lace throughout the space, the litter lying there, The sounds of box cars hooking up, a place where crime is sown, Where homeless search the garbage cans, to find … Continue reading

When bruised and injured we do fall, before our Father’s throneAnd look upon the lamb once slain for all sins to atone,Our pain is nothing next to His, our wounds are all but naught.The blood He shed, His torturous death … Continue reading

IN GOD’S PRESENCE
Life comes at us like a raging river at times, Pushing, crashing, dispersing its power, Seemingly overtaking us with its fury, Yet even in those times of fear, loss, despair and anxiety, God is there in the midst of it … Continue reading
FLEETING MEMORIES
Howling, whistling, streaming through a patch of aging trees, The wind surprises and upsets and strips them of their leaves, One day a lush green canopy, another turned to gold, Soon withered, dry and sapped of life, they waiver in … Continue reading
