January 7, 2026

Who would think it January? Not the birds chatting eagerly as they zoom from branch to branch, not the tiny blue flowers, newborn among the weeds, and not I, warmed by sunshine and emboldened by the wind. Together, we savor this slice of Spring served so early in the year, the dead world stirring to […]

Come to Us

God, only God boundless as the wind wide as heaven’s sky, You, only You can make us filled within can be our what, our why. – We long for peace and grasp at wrath and war, seizing all You “no’s”. We long for love, rest from sad and sore, joy and full release. – Grace […]

We Come with Food Before You

We come with food before You to bear Your grace to mind, Your ever free provision Your lavish goodness kind. We join You in our feasting and share Your presence here; For we are blessed and holy, when You are wholly near. – We praise for taste and texture for meat and bread and […]

Under His Wings

Why do you shiver— in cold and in rain? And why do you quiver, small strength, under pain? Why do you wander, bare-souled, through the lies? And why do you saunter where dark arrows fly? Why do you shudder at voices behind? And why do you mutter alone in your mind? Give heed to the […]

Watching…Working

High above the astral atoms of the vaulted, twinkling sky, dwelling in celestial star-shine, heaven’s Son the yes and why. Past the swirling of the eons, galaxies of spiral worlds to a blue and lonely planet, sparkled green in ocean swirls, bends the thought of heavenly wisdom, ever draws the Maker’s eye. – There walks […]

In beginning

– God before the world was crafted, uncreated holy light, co-eternal with the Father, God in essence, radiant might. – Nothing sundering from His glory, pure, distinct, and glorious He, with the Father and the Spirit perfect, holy trinity. – All the earth lies sprawled before Him all that is by Him conferred naught existing […]

I Dream in 40-point, Italic Font

I dream in 40-point, italic font of all I long to give to You— the One who loves me most. I type my aims into reality— or so I try, but everything is paper jams and out-of-inks— a mangled, tear-smudged page of faint, illegible, ugly-colored words— not the marvel You deserve. My fingers hesitate to […]

Pseudo-wisdom

You think too highly of yourself, oh mind, to answer questions God as yet has not. It is a wisdom of the baser kind that storms His silence with unbridled thought— for who can cypher symbols from the dark or wrangle possibility to stage, to poke and prod and deftly pin the arc of Spring’s […]

The God of Elizabeth

While at His greatest work, His mercy stitching ancient words into reality, preparing the way age by age for the sunrise from on high, the salvation of His people, the hope of mankind— the LORD also lifted the life-grief of one barren woman whom He loved.

One in a Million

When God saw all those walls come down– and Israelites a-stormin’ in, when Joshua prayed for the sun to last, and stop the earth from constant spin, when Daniel and His friends stood firm against the evil king’s decree, when Peter stepped outside the boat to walk upon the stormy sea… then God saw the […]
