I’m a pretty avid reader (think 3-5 books a week), and I have been since I was five years old. The thing that trips me up about that is that I have found my time consumed by books that DON’T MATTER in the grand scheme of things, primarily because my favorite reading material is sci-fi/fantasy […]

The Miracle of Flight
The faith of a newly-emerged butterfly cannot be denied As it stretches forth its wings and trusts to flight Somehow knowing there is strength once they have dried. Though it never flew before, it knows it’s made to soar, So up… up… up… it goes without a second thought Just trusting its inherent natural form. […]
Brilliant Iris
I saw the sun the other morning Peeking through a crevasse in the clouds Like a brilliant iris of light, (Too bright to see the color) Staring through the vast, dark grey eyelids. Even when the sun rose to its hidden place Behind the upper mass of moisture, The brightness of that spot drew my […]
Wind and Fire
Upon reflection, I must disagree with you. The Spirit still comes with wind and fire To those who need His mighty touch, Whether we are babes or long in the faith.

Wasted
I’m here again, Lord, Wasted at your feet, Spent in grief and sorrow, Still clinging… Somehow. I feel like the woman With the issue of blood… Years deep in this insanity Some would call my life. I need you desperately! This healing thing takes forever. Though I reach for you, Though I touch your robe, […]
Sing A Song (1/5/11)
Sing a song, a pretty song, To tell the world you love Me. Sing it strong; sing all day long, Sing “just becauseâ€? and freely. With great sacrifice, You saved us, gave us, A wellspring of hope, You lift us, gift us With faithfulness and mercy, Lord With generous compassion, Lord You work within us […]
