Early in the Morn

Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift my soul unto thee. Psalms 143:8 (Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge)

Almost Old

Almost Old A face in the mirror…a companion I see? Almost old…no…it’s just me. A voice screams inside my mind, “Almost old and you can’t stop time!” Almost old…what can I say? The past is gone…it’s sifted away. Almost old…what’s “left” to say? The rest of my story…Go seize the day!  “I [Jesus] dwell in timelessness:  I…

Summer’s Breeze

Make America Truly Love Again

Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.  (Proverbs 12:25 NKJV) When I have my morning coffee, I often read and today I read Proverbs 12:25.  Once it was read, I had to stop, because it dawned on me that I didn’t agree with it. True enough, anxiety…

Walking Through Psalms: Focus

When my glasses become smudged, I’m forced to read words through a haze.  Many times I’ve taken them off my nose and used my shirt to wipe away the haze; however, it only creates a greater murkiness in which to navigate the letters upon the page.  This is frustrating.  Why doesn’t the shirt work?  Shirts are…
