Just a little note of love For all I call my friends… Even if we rarely talk In my mind we’re still friends. I think of you all with fondness, With nostalgia and affection, Remembering times that we have shared The laughter, tears, and connection. I miss you all as time goes by, And every […]

Thoughts of You (3/10/2024)
No matter the time, I find myself thinking of you. It’s easy to let myself go there. You are, after all, my other half. Those eyes arrest me again, and, Once more, I find myself smiling. I can’t help it! This enjoyment of your company Seems to only increase with the passage of time. All […]
Ripples
Hush, goes my heart, andInto the stillness comes a quiet whisperReminding me Whose I am.I am no stranger to the voice, butIt feels so rare and special every single timeI hear my Lord speak to me.Beloved, come to My heart again.The beckoning wakes me up,Stirs my soul to action,Makes me sit up and take noticeOf […]
New Mercies
Hearing your voice again,Christmas seems just a little more special.You say you are faithful,Speaking to my faithless heart,Reminding me that your love for me never fails.I can only worship you,Trusting despite circumstances.The season is coming alive to me…Somehow, some way,You’ve given me joy once more.O Lord, thank you for your new mercies today.Thank you for […]
Midnight Musings
Sleepless yet again I find I’m Reaching once again to find I’m Here before your throne, O LordAnd hungering again for more.Your words, they speak of life to meWhen I have fallen to my knees.I can no longer run from you Because you wrestle me anew.You call me back to life again Though I have not yet found my end.Please, […]
End of Self
There is still you here with me.There is still me with you.Till I come again to the end of selfKnowing that I know somehow,Speaking that which you speak through me.Father, let me know you as father once more.Jesus, help me to cling to you again.Spirit, rise up in me with new lifeTill yet I know […]
Me with You
Holy are you, Lord.I come to your table again by your grace,By your mercy, because ofYour unfathomable goodness and lovingkindness.I know I am not worthy, butYour blood covers me again and again.Let me know your presence, Jesus.Let me come to the Father through you.Envelop me, Holy Spirit, with your love. In your presence, God, is fullness […]
Wilderness Experience
Heaven help me, I just need You.Somehow this life has gotten so overwhelmingThat I can barely keep my head up,So, I’m reaching out again in my distressBecause I don’t know what else I can do.It feels like I can’t even pray these days.I read the scripture in hopes that I can hear YouEven though the […]
Wait and Hope and Pray
What can you do when all you can doIs wait and hope and pray?You wait and hope and pray with all your might,But sometimes it’s not enough.Sometimes you hope in vain.I keep remembering againThis life is just a blink of an eye,A foreshadowing of eternityWith all the uncounted time stretched outJust on the other side […]
Trusting in Your Goodness
As my thoughts meander through the corridors of change,All I need to know is that you hold me in your hands.Still I wonder every day how things could be so strange.With everything I see and feel, I’m looking for your plans,But I can’t tell from all that comes how things will still work out.I’ve come […]
