the blustery wind

put tree limb after tree limb

Resurrection

lightning skips through clouds

dropping heavy April rain

the sun still rises


For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Nicene Creed, 381 AD

The Warmth of Home: Love and Light

arriving at home

and finding the porch light on

the power of love


Don’t need money.

Don’t need fame.

Don’t need a credit card to ride in this train.

It’s the power of love.

Embracing Change: Nature’s Resilience


while the cold wind blows

the budding trees do not mind

swaying either way


Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Keep Flipping

on the other side

of sadness there may be joy

the flip of a coin


A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)

the chilled morning fog

rises to the warming sun

reflecting fireside


Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
