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

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

I used to think I was dead inside But I know I have a fire inside Fueled by an endless supply inside Of dreams and hopes and desires inside Things that come alive inside Awake all my senses inside Keeping me aware, not hiding inside Not dimming my flame or life inside Shining through, smiling … Continue reading Inside

Daily we face trials and temptations and we often think … Continue reading Sufficient
Lightning and Thunder
I know people who are ceraunophiles; they love the thunder and lightning. I have a friend who loves to sit on her porch during the thunder storms. She thinks the lightning is beautiful and somehow she finds peace in the display of God’s power. I do not. I know God places each bolt of lightning … Continue reading Lightning and Thunder
Lost
Nothing is ‘by chance’. I think of my own life and how every person is carefully placed. Timing and circumstances align just so to orchestrate what seems like random events. That’s the thing… Our plans and everything we do to try to get ahead or get away are part of a larger plan. Look at … Continue reading Lost
