Your love, O Lord, has substance I can feel,
A weight that holds this anxious wand’rer still,
Arrested by the strange, forgotten peal
Of heart-strings played at their Creator’s will.
Joy in the Narrow Way
Joy.
Spirit, you promised me joy!
And I know better than to pretend that
joy
stands alone,
but my heart is heavy in my chest. Continue reading “Joy in the Narrow Way”
The Beginning of the End
The beginning of eternal life is the end of our rights! The right to enjoy possessions without reference to others, The right to decide our own path, declare our own fate, The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, The right to have our needs met when and how we want, The right […]
Certain Days
On certain days, I grow tired of little. I wish, I hope for more Money Praise Time Rest All the things that make life easier Than it is on this day. On certain days, I am thankful for little things. I ponder, I receive Rain Laughter Tea Wildflowers All the things that seem beneath God’s […]
