To God I will cling, for under His wings
Is a fortress in which I can hide.

A PSALM OF TRUST
Whispers Of Mercy
Whispers of mercy come wash through my soul,
Trickling streams in my desert, my night,
Your Universe
How immense this universe of yours—unfathomable at best, Infinity “quantifiedâ€? into an endless, visible grandeur, Populated with focal points and whole areas of radiance Where the dark splendor gathers itself into light In every possible array of beauty. The vastness of it all merely magnifies the brilliance… I remind my heart that my miniscule self […]
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
It seems there is some reason Why we celebrate this season But from all the lights and jingles Frequent mentions of Kris Kringle Seems that most folks now just don’t remember There are other holidays now That are mentioned (don’t offend now) But I’m standing on my tiptoes Shouting truth that everyone knows If it […]
Crucible Dance
The crucible of Christ— The flames of circumstance— Come daily shape my life Just like a holy dance. The music stirs my feet And I cannot be still. It is through the fire’s heat That His Spirit works His will. Sometimes I want to fight. I cannot understand, But I must give up my right […]

I stare at it blankly in uncertainty Absorbing the unblemished beauty, yet Contemplating all the possibilities— Snowmen, […]
‘Neath All The Layers
More is there, beneath the obvious, Beneath the outside sheen of smooth sailing. ‘Neath all the layers of protection Lies a real, yes-I-have-feelings human being. It’s just a matter of getting past All the bluff, all the pomp and circumstance. Sometimes, if you’re careful and quiet, You might actually see The barricades come down voluntarily. […]
LESSON 8,637… OR SO
It is true. With all the hurry I allow myself to worry When I really should just leave it in God’s hands. But I am so used to fretting Even though I am not letting God take care of things the way I know He can. He’s still faithful in my weakness As He teaches […]
DETERMINATION
My creative side’s been squelched again Soooo frustrating Seems like every time I turn around, Something’s come up, Something’s happened, Feels like a conspiracy sometimes… My head keeps spinning with the pace of life: No time to be still, No time to play my flute, No time to write, No time to “beâ€?, Always something […]
