Poetry
Fissure
Sin, fiery fissure, broken connection, lost in the reeds, kissed by snows softened fingers, lacking rings, no commitment, but to fall Each stalk sits silent, yet receptive, frosty bite, carries caress Yet costly price each pellet piercing, like nails that tore into His flesh Appearances can be quite deceptive, Snowflakes corpus carries cost Yields initial […]

Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth give way and the mountains fall in to the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and rage and the mountains quake with violence.” (Psalm 46:1-3) I walked along a weary road, […]
Trees
Like the trees of the forest, may you find nourishment in rain as well as sunshine; bend with the winds of misfortune without breaking; give of yourself to others to provide shade from the blistering heat; grow old gracefully and not become rigid or unbending; and above all may you keep reaching ever upwards towards […]
Revelation
