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…

Cee’s Flower of the Day

While on my morning run/walk, I had to stop long enough to capture this photo of the cherry blossoms blooming in the neighborhood. Cee’s Flower of the Day  

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…

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…
