For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast… Jeremiah 30:17 “I used to put up walls to protect myself…However, I learned that if I wall others out, I also wall myself in. If you built walls around yourself out of…
Solitude

Election 2016
Oh how fitting, this poem for Election 2016. Please help me, Lord! All who were faithful and all who were loyal have disappeared. Everyone tells lies, and no one is sincere. Won’t you chop off all flattering tongues that brag so loudly? They say to themselves, “We are great speakers. No one else has a…
