Autumn proves that change is beautiful. It also proves there is Someone who orchestrates change. God is at work in creation and He’s at work in us. Can we shrink from the uncomfortable changes and pain when exactly that could be where God wants to demonstrate His power and beauty through us? What if leavesContinue reading “The Artist’s Fun”

Dance of Mystery
Aurora Borealis— I love to watch her dancing, Leaping, twirling gleefully Midst the shimmering galaxies. With stars a stunning backdrop, She flings her skirts of splendor; They’re emerald with tinges Of royal sapphire fringes. When all around me hushes, I hear her silks swish softly. Her faintest eerie singing From static space comes ringing. AuroraContinue reading “Dance of Mystery”
Ways Higher Than Mine (Part 2)
“Daughter, I know it hurts. But I have come to heal the wounded and to make beauty out of ashes. I still love you.” I break into sobs, overcome by the confusion of last night. I want to believe the King, but right now, the future seems bleak without the pot I had always cherished.Continue reading “Ways Higher Than Mine (Part 2)”
Ways Higher Than Mine (Part 1)
(I recorded this allegory in a poignant moment of life when I struggled to surrender a cherished dream. This vision came to me then, and as the story played out in my mind, I scribbled it down. Afterwards I read it over and knew it wasn’t my story, but God’s.) I hold a well-built, smoothlyContinue reading “Ways Higher Than Mine (Part 1)”
How Long
Sin trespassed Your holy standards; Troops of evil were deployed, Twisting truth and righteous judgment Till all values are destroyed. Shunning and defying Jesus, Mankind chooses not to hear. Every day the troubles deepen— Chaos, sorrow, death, and fear. As the world heads for destruction, We cry out for mercy, Lord! You have promised fullContinue reading “How Long”
Canada Day
At dark, bright streaks like shooting stars— Arch grandly ‘cross the summer night. They burst into a flickering light Erupting into showers of sparks. The thrilling pops resound afar, Across the fields they echo low. The sizzling colors spray and glow Like water fountains in the sky. Again one shoots; again it blasts, A chandelierContinue reading “Canada Day”
Arise
The voice of my Beloved! Behold, He cometh Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping across the fields. My Beloved spake, and said unto me, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. For I will make a new thing. I will make all things beautiful. For, lo, the winter is past, The rain isContinue reading “Arise”
Traveling the World
Guess what? I just got a postcard in the mail from France. It’s not just one of those junk mail advertisements. It has a handwritten message and my name on it! A few days before I got this one, I received one from Taiwan. In the last year, I have received 24 postcards from 13Continue reading “Traveling the World”
Just A Yellow Flower
Jessalyn shrugged her sweater from her shoulders and grabbed an apron from the rack. Tying it deftly around her waist, she glanced at the mirror propped against the wall in the lunch room. Sagging eyes, a lined forehead, and a drooping mouth stared back at her. Did she really look so horrible today? She stretchedContinue reading “Just A Yellow Flower”
Higher Than the Heavens
Look up. Way up. Like higher up than you’d ever look to see the tip-top of a building. And if your eyesight is good enough, you might be able to see the spire at the top of this grand glass structure. This is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates– the tallest building inContinue reading “Higher Than the Heavens”
