The Rain

Bring on the rain… Honestly, some days I feel like I need a good cleaning.  I feel so dry and dirty…I need that refreshing shower to come and wash away my guilt and shame.  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

Just give up, give in Let the darkness win, There’s no rest when This fight doesn’t … Continue reading The Dark

I don’t know why.  She said it had something to do with wherever I go, I seem to be the person to go to for advice and answers.  … Continue reading Gifts

Laziness

I love Proverbs, the Book in the Bible.  There is a verse that speaks of the sluggard not plowing because of the cold and when it is time for harvest, he won’t have anything. If you don’t plant, you don’t have anything to grow… I’m not really into plants. Yes, we have a garden, and … Continue reading Laziness

The Fool

You know, I can’t say that I have nothing on my mind… I always have some thoughts floating around, it is just sometimes I can’t pin down one thought… It reminds me of Proverbs and how each verse is almost a stand alone thought. There are so many sayings, of course that is what a … Continue reading The Fool
