FOOTPRINTS
Wherever we go, even if we are careful hide where we have been, we still manage to leave footprints, signs, directions that will lead back to us. The question that we need to ask ourselves is what will people find when they follow our tracks? If they follow us long enough to catch up with […]
LIVING WITH NOT KNOWING
Doesn’t it just gnaw at your brain when you don’t know something that you think you should know? It is in our nature to feel like we have a right to all the answers. If they are readily available in our memory banks, we think we should be able to open a book or search […]
I Place No Faith
I place no faith in days to come Those days that can’t be seen I place no faith in wealth or pride For those can cease to be I place no faith in the plans of men For man is dust to dust. I place no faith in the strength of steel For even metal […]
Dashing Into Shadows
More often that I care to admit I find myself Dashing into shadows To conceal myself Amongst the debris Of the pain I have caused. It is not because I enjoy Shifting and rearranging The excrement of my life But more to hide my shameful face From my Master. Like Adam in the Garden And […]
The Scent of Rain
Nothing does more To encourage hope In a despondent soul Than the fresh scent of rain. As the dirt, grime and impurities Of industry and corporate waste Are leached from the air And dragged to the earth By droplets and mist In an effort to erase The transgressions of humankind Propagated on the very garden […]
PUT YOUR FINGER HERE
Disbelief and distrust is common in the world the inhabit. We struggle to know who we can trust when our senses deceive us. If we can’t see it, feel it, hear it, touch it, or smell it we are tempted to believe that it does not exist. And often, knowing that the air is invisible, […]
Evidence
“Where’s the evidence?” I yelled to the wind. “Though you roar I can’t see you, Though you chill my skin I can’t taste you. I hear your whisper And I can’t find you.” “Can you see the breeze Or swaying of trees?” The wind replied. “Can you see the clouds Move and undulate Across the […]
Lessons from the Table
Lessons that we can learn from the table of our Lord to give us a deeper understanding of the gift of communion. Not one of the disciples came to the table with a clean spirit. They bickered and they fought. Their intentions were often selfish. But Jesus welcomed them to the table. He expects no […]
Singing at the Table
SINGING AT THE TABLE When God parted the sea And allowed His children to pass Moses and Miriam led the people in song A hymn of victory Over the Egyptians And the salvation of God’s people Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. (Psalms 47:6) In praise And in […]
We Never Seem to Learn
I am constantly amazed that we, as a people, have lessons that we cannot seem to learn. Even those lessons that come at a high cost both financially as well as the suffering and loss of human lives. I am afraid that I may bruise a few egos. I would like to say up front […]
I Still Believe in Love
Giving or Re-appropriation
Divine Opportunites (series)
God places opportunities in our path to enrich our souls. So often we only see the opportunities for selfish gain, but there are many opportunities that provide us with growth and a path to improve our relationship with our Creator. In this study we examine four of these opportunities that will encourage a greater communion […]
Snooze
The alarm disturbs Our treasured sleep And we hit snooze Until it’s too late To participate. How frustrating it must be For Him to witness Our apathy. He worked for Three hard, long years To teach us how to live. He fed the hungry, Encouraged the meek, Healed the sick, Lifted the broken, Ate with […]
A Path Made Clear
Walking on a well-worn path With confidence I stride O’er the top of a pleasant hill The sky stretched far and wide Into a sun-drenched valley Filled with goldenrod and birches Where finches fly and sparrows cry And I find the path diverges To the East the path is clean and clear Overgrown, a path […]
