God spoke. The galaxies, Like flour flicked from His hand, Adorn the space of indigo And glow. -Rynelle Penner Yes, it’s short. Read it again. One of my greatest struggles in writing is making my articles/poems too long. But this time, I made it short. This quote captures my problem well. “I have made thisContinue reading “Floury Galaxies”

Along Dusky Roads
This post is dedicated to all my lovely friends in India. A year ago, I was exploring your cities, fields, and villages. I was bumbling through the complexities of your warm and colorful culture. You taught me so much about your world, about myself, and about God. Thank you. Yes, thank you for stealing bitsContinue reading “Along Dusky Roads”
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”
The Artist’s Fun
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”
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”
These Are Your Children
These are Your children, Lord, and they need You. I need You. Black-haired and brown-skinned, all wrapped in bright colors, They wave their inked hands and flash dazzling smiles; Swaying in rhythm to worshipful singing, Eyes fixed on teachers, enthralled all the while. These are Your children. Cheering and whistling while pushing and crushing, AllContinue reading “These Are Your Children”
