Homecoming


The light of music

shines underneath my heart’s door

like a child come home

Soul Shine

Photo by Gary Fultz

the water, like glass,

reflecting the setting sun

mirror for the soul


For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God in the face Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:6 (NIV)

Fireside Father

In a hearty fire

the smell of hickory smoke

a boy and his dad.


In memory of Glen Duncan (1935-2007).

No Rain, No Rainbow

after the rain came

the sun, in the azure sky

turned brown into green


He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Ecclesiastes 3:10a (NIV)

Twenty-two years ago, this summer, my life hit rock bottom. By God’s grace, I’m still here. Friend, if you’ve been there, you can make it too!

New Morning


The glistening grass

a sassy wren sings along

with the breeze at dawn


Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

Spring Surprise


warm wind from the south

quickly turns cold from the north

weathervane whiplash


“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.“

John 3:8 (NIV)
