I’m remembering my Dad on this Father’s Day. I wrote this poem based on a lesson he wanted me to learn about praying believing, and the miracle that happened which gave us a bit more time with him before he was called home to his eternal celebration: “Ask Believing” My Dad was sick, we rushed…
In the drama and trauma of life, God invites us to enter the silence…to get away from the noise and the pressures we face, to rest in His presence, and to be strengthened for what’s ahead. This poem is my journey…knowing about the silence, resisting it for much of my life, and then discovering through…
We each feel a rhythm to life – the repetition of days, the routines we settle into, the cycles that just keep occurring. Sometimes these cycles are exciting, sometimes they are exhausting, and sometimes they are just simply numbing. But God’s word reminds us that that our Lord is present in every cycle, and each…
For all of us who build anything – families, businesses, careers, foundations, futures – this one is for us. When we get absorbed in accomplishing something, it’s easy to get lost in designing, creating, and executing whatever that may be. And it’s easy to think that what we’re doing begins and ends with us. But…
I laughed this week as I realized how much I go back and forth between conviction that brings peace and then hesitation or doubt that creates anxiety. This week it was the latter…again. I found myself in the middle of the fog of life, and I kept thinking about the difference between what I know…
God is our guide. He’s our light. He’s our safe harbor. In Him we find the security that can be so desperately needed in the chaos and threats of this world. So thankful for the peace that comes in the safety of our never-changing God. All He asks of us…trust, release, and receive! “Safe Harbor”…
This week I focused on God’s presence…He’s always here…fully knowing, fully working, fully loving. We all need that reminder from time to time…I certainly do. Regardless of our situation…He is with us, He is for us, He will not fail us, He is our strength. With faith, we have that assurance: “Always Here” You’re with…
This poem is for all of us who are stepping forward in faith, not knowing where the journey may be taking us, but trusting the Lord in the midst of the always swirling doubts and fears. Just like Abraham, we too may not have a clear understanding of the route or the destination when the…
There are many moments in life when what we see or experience doesn’t seem to match what we believe…in those times, we can slip into doubt, confusion, or fear. But faith steadies us in that uncertainty. Faith doesn’t eliminate hardship, and it doesn’t mean everything will make sense. But faith does give us that deep…
