Time

You are the first thought of my day. How quickly You fade into the background covered over by my busyness. I struggle to hold Your hand and walk with You as the day grows, time attacks me, I grapple to regain my hold. I can find no rest from this…

The Ride

Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise,     for a companion of fools suffers harm. Have you ever had that one person in your life, that when you try to discuss an issue, the topic gets so convoluted you don’t even remember what you were wanting to…

Just Like A Snowflake

I like this photograph: it is simple, unique, one of a kind. Just like all of us, we are simple, yet complex when looked at closely. Our hearts, our thoughts, our values, beliefs, and disbelief. Our freedom is found in these, as are our chains. This snowflake is complex and…

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. I watched a movie that several people had recommended. The name is not important because…

You Are

Holy God, You are: Perfect in every way. There is no fault in you. You are complete. Nothing can be added; nothing can be taken away from You. You are Just. My mouth is shut and my heart withers in Your presence. You are Righteous. You take all things into…

Not A Typical Christmas Sentiment

Lamentations 3:19-22 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for…
