Take a Moment
I want to take a moment to thank the Lord for His endless mercy. I am undeserving yet He is full of grace. I know my crimes against Him are numerous. I know I am guilty of neglecting Him and turning from Him. I know I was one of those whose actions nailed Him to … Continue reading Take a Moment

A Request
Why do I do this?To myself?Put my heart out there?On a shelf?Just bleed it out?On the page?Bare my mind and soulCenter stage?Everything is nothing.It’s all naught. I’m a shell of a human,An afterthought. See the lines I cut?On my skin?See the lines of pain,Show again?The burn, the shame,Agony?No man, this isn’t that,No pity. I did this for you,By … Continue reading A Request
Exhale
I exhale slowly,Focusing on the task,Of taking in air,Hold it, then relax. The exhale gets me,Sometimes i forgetTo just let it goSo I can reset. I’m lying to you. The exhale isn’t slow,By violence is forced;I have no control. A fist to the gut,A vacuumed sealed room:The exhale ripped,An impending doom. I can’t do this,I continue to say,As I exhale … Continue reading Exhale

A Little Off
I keep my Bible beside my chair… Our Church is small but we are a very close group. Not so much geographically, but we all go to each other’s houses regularly and since we are small in number, we are more like family. The other day, we had a little gathering at our house. People … Continue reading A Little Off
Nothing
Nothing on my mind today that can settle into something coherent. Just some thoughts that keep ebbing and flowing from time to time. I was thinking about Faith, Hope and Charity and this feeling I have about those three that cannot be put into words at the moment. I was thinking about ‘Duty’ and how … Continue reading Nothing
