It’s hard to face our fears. It’s hard to stand up when we’re under scrutiny. But sometimes, you just need to face it. When Saul was on the road to Damascus, he saw a bright light. I’m sure he tried to turn away from it, but he was blinded. The men with him heard a … Continue reading Face It

Guilty of All
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV What a fearful thought! This is the reason I do not like confrontation: I am guilty of part, therefore I am guilty of all. Do you ever stop and think about what you might … Continue reading Guilty of All
The Bird
Earlier today a bird flew into my front door… The door was closed and the bird sadly didn’t make it… I read where birds can become lost in the glass and fly into windows thinking they are heading into more open spaces not knowing they are rushing headfirst into a hard object. Hmmm… How often … Continue reading The Bird

It’s been naturally dry in my little area of the world, and I’ve spent many breaths asking for the rain. The … Continue reading The Rain
Little Details
Is it the glances passed between people Or the unspoken communication of friends?Perhaps it’s in the words and phrases Etched like lines on our skin. Is it the melody of the morning song,The chorus made amongst the trees,Or maybe the fragrance of the airCarried along by the breeze. Is it a line called to remembranceThat brings a smile to … Continue reading Little Details
Surrender
I was reading about Jeremiah warning Zedekiah, telling him what the Lord God had said. How Jeremiah explained that salvation was in surrender, something the king couldn’t understand. Zedekiah didn’t surrender; he stayed in Judah waiting on the siege. And I wondered, do I do the same? Do I try to save face and fear … Continue reading Surrender
Forgetful
“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.” Jeremiah 2:32 KJV Maybe I’m the only one, but I don’t think I could forget my wedding day. There are always little things that stick out in your mind on a day like that. Whether … Continue reading Forgetful
