Mother’s Day is difficult for me. Since it always falls on Sunday, I usually play hooky, so I wont have to put on the façade of “happy mom.” However, this Sunday was different. As fate would have it…or maybe God…this Sunday I was slated to help with communion service. So for that reason, I sucked it up, and…

How to Swallow a Bitter Pill
(A Haiku) Down the hatch, it goes, with a little sugar cane. Bitter pill, be gone! *** Moral of this Haiku: If you dread it…do it…then it is done. *** Daily Prompt: Bitter
Trump-Care, Is It Better?
Hurray for the GOP! They finally passed a health care bill for the American People! Mind you, they don’t want it for themselves, or for their families, but they deem it perfect for us. They were so proud of themselves for reaching this monumental decision, they ordered crates of beer to celebrate. Oh, what fun. But,…
From Snowflakes to Blanket
I’m a little snowflake, I drift about. Looking for injustice, hear me shout. You label me as liberal, and think me lame. But I embrace your symbol, and use it for my name! Snowflakes are small, and they seem quite frail. But when we come together, we are a force…
The God Who Sees Me…
“You are the God who sees me…” __ Hagar I’ve always felt a kinship with Hagar. Hagar was the maidservant of Sarah, Abraham’s wife. This is her story: Sarah, the wife of Abraham, was barren. None-the-less, God had promised that through their children would come the nation of Israel. Abraham and Sarah had tried…
Photo Challenge: Dense
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…
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…
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…
