Photo Challenge: Dense So, I took a little creative license with this photo. I captured it last week, while visiting my daughter in Massachusetts. In the original, the house was almost hidden by a dense thicket of branches. I felt, the main focus, was obviously the bird house, so I did a little cropping, and was able…

Accepting Bridges, Instead of Walls
God has called us to build bridges and not walls. The whole story of Christ’s life, testifies to this. During his ministry, Jesus broke down many walls of separation. For example: Jesus was a Judean Refugee living in Egypt. (What if Egypt had built a wall?) Jesus had many women disciples. (Gender Wall) Jesus praised the Samaritans, whom the Jews…
Photo Challenge: Atop
The Challenge: Experimenting with our point of view in a photograph allows us to establish a setting, tell a specific story, or rethink our own perspective. This week, consider your point of view as you respond to this challenge’s theme, “Atop.” If you’re physically on top of a thing or a place — a mountain,…
Haiku: Controversy
Anger, hate and doubt, Faith, love, hope; your choice to be. Great Controversy! Haiku is so much fun! It’s like a math problem combined with a crossword puzzle. You only have 17 syllables to get your point across; and those syllables must be stacked in a 5-7-5 format. Often the first and second lines are at odds…

My Soul To Take
Oh, that God would mold this clay, nothing but dust, dirt and decay! And yet, in me, He saw some worth; He sent his Son, from Heaven to Earth. To lay down his life, upon the cross, to thirst, and bleed, and suffer loss. And so for me, His Glory awaits; one day I’ll…
God’s Abstract Love
There are some things we will never understand, and God’s love is one of them. Maybe there are times, we think, we comprehend its depth, only to have the knowledge drift away, like a cloud in the sky. If it were possible to put God’s love to canvas, you can be sure, it would be abstract art. I truly enjoy…
Fairy Dust of Magic
Fairy Dust of Magic I sit here basking, under rays of sun, with grass interwoven between bare toes. The bumble bee, he buzzes, he’s on a mission, to a fragrant purple…a lilac…he knows. *** Humming birds flit, their wings all a flutter. The nectar they crave, from this purple place. Orange Monarchs, and Swallow-tails of yellow, land…
The Lord is my Shepherd
When, blessings like a river, swarm. “The Lord is my shepherd.” And thus begins Psalm 23. King David is the author of Psalm 23; however, as much as we Christians would like to believe, David was not the first to pen the idea of God as shepherd. History tells us, this metaphor, of comparing god to shepherd, was common…
Never Hesitate To Prove Your Love
Some two thousand years ago Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” Not once, but three times Jesus asked this of Peter, and three times Peter replied, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” One may question, why did Jesus ask this three times? Why wasn’t one “yes” enough for Jesus? Was Jesus so insecure that he…
