Questions
When do we come together and do we ever? When do we accept what we can’t and will we ever? When does life stop hurting and is it meant to? God is not afraid of my questions In fact, He welcomes them! I pray to be as brave as Him I pray to be as…

What is Truth and Where Can We Find It?
Centuries ago, a powerful man asked a question of Jesus Christ. What is truth? That man was Pontius Pilate, the official who presided over Jesus’ trial. He was seeking to find some fault in Him at the Jews’ demand to execute Him. A friend and I were talking the other day about this subject- truth.…

The Embrace of Healing
My resolve has fled into the dark night And has taken hope with it. The mystery is I don’t mind it. Not at all. Hope is a heavy burden When it comes with unrealized expectations. Were my expectations to high? Too lofty? Are kindness and compassion too much to ask for? I’m indifferent, which is…

Welcome to the World
Late last night, Jan 6, 2022, you came into the world with a shout! Grandbaby!!! I have so much to say to you and can’t wait to hold you, but stupid COVID won’t allow it! So I’ll have to wait until you come home. You are another part of our legacy, the beauty that is…

FORGIVEN
Soft eyes that now give way To a thousand apologies Past demons Chased away by mercy and forgiveness Peace, the voice that beckons Love the song that sings to the broken Humble voice now whispers Where once rage lived there Quiet. Resolved. Living free. Living loved. Living.

MOVING ON
“Why can’t you just move on?” I can’t count the times I’ve been told this statement or heard it said to others in conversation. And the truth be told, the proper response to that question is, “I don’t know how.” Have you ever tried to break a bad habit or establish a new one in…

INNOCENCE
Innocence Pure and beautiful Unreserved Wide open Trust It’s currency Oh so rich in wonder love abundant Laugher It’s language Darkness comes To wound To steal To kill The soul Of innocence Grief Sorrow it’s offering You said Oh King To be As them A child Your kingdom’s glory The world A place that robs…

LONGING
Longing Buried beneath every question Beneath disappointment It calls out Longing It weeps beneath the rubble of past mistakes of wounds so deep Longing It moves Within me Tossed and swelling Bellowing Whispering Alive Latent yet swelling Longing Longing Concealed in apprehension Alive with promise Tension that keeps it Hiding, waiting Oh that it would…

THE BREAKING
Between the breaking and coming true Is a place where everything shakes My absolutes Between the Promise and the destitute Is my faith forged in the wake Of all I believe about You And my reason is consumed Between the sorrow and the joy that comes in the morning without warning My questions are undone…
