wind rakes dusty leaves
across an empty courtyard
*constructive conflict
*If one intends to lead, they must bring their people along with them. Otherwise, it’s just a lonely walk.
I'm just a regular guy who was
tempted to lose all hope but did not. It was God who made the difference.

the brisk autumn breeze
unwavering frigid rain
last leaf on the tree
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)
This haiku was inspired by the first song on Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, “Last Leaf on the Tree.” and “The Last Leaf,” a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes SR. and a short story called The Last Leaf, by O. Henry.

October flowers
are such a welcome surprise
almost overlooked

criminality
of man and the grace of God
both in the same frame
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
Titus 2:11

sunshine through windows
tableside conversation
uninterrupted

on the other side
of whatever one faces
perspective awaits
If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Romans 14:8 (NIV)

a pink peony
blooms just before another
all in God’s own time
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)

So, we build our nest
right over there–by the rocks.
