The Baby Can Walk
A chubby yellow envelope came home in a stack of mail the other day. I love chubby yellow envelopes. They make me want to skip and spin because I know yellow envelopes can hold a lot of good news, especially if it comes from a writer friend. I am part of two writers’ groups andContinue reading “The Baby Can Walk”
Spring in Me
I asked God to show me how He is redeeming me. I wanted to see glimpses of how He is turning my ashes into beauty. And He’s showing me something. I’m still pondering the depths because I can’t fully grasp them. But He’s doing something. First, there was the porcupine. Along the road through the bush,Continue reading “Spring in Me”
He Knew, But Still
The moon escapes behind a forest of clouds, not daring to intrude on the scene in the garden where the Son kneels in deepening shades. Life oozing from sweat pores runs down His face. Doubled over in agony, He sees it all. The stoniness and cold, distortions and darkness. Darkness darker than the absence ofContinue reading “He Knew, But Still”
Make Me a Servant

Marvelous Mystery
Who is more wonderful than Jesus Christ? What is more marvelous than God Himself coming to earth? He exceeded all expectations. He completely changed the world. His coming marked a new kingdom, a new life, a new future. Those who saw Him marveled. Confused religious leaders struggled to defend themselves. His own followers wondered atContinue reading “Marvelous Mystery”
Desertion
Gliding along with the bubbling of water, My boat gently rocks me till I fall asleep— A hand on the oar and my head on a pillow, With frolicking breezes caressing the deep. Life is good. Why should I listen to sounds from the wood? Beyond the tree sentinels, clamoring is heard. It mocks meContinue reading “Desertion”
Highschool Soccer
These days, the precipitation has lost its confidence. Sometimes it comes down as rain, sometimes as sleet, and other times as stickiest snow. The temperature seems more confident, settled around zero, occasionally dipping or rising slightly. That’s prime conditions to bring back memories of high school recesses. So this time, I’m sharing a fun post.Continue reading “Highschool Soccer”
