When Jesus said That the love of many Would wax cold. I did not know It would be my heart. I did not know That I could look At human need And just walk away. I did not know That dying souls Looked like hopelessness, And how easy it would be, To turn my face …
Retracing Our Steps
Life can be quite the journey, can’t it? Think about the last ten years of your life. Think of the highs where God taught you something that has stuck with you. Can you mark them as a map in your Bible? That is why I love writing in my Bible as I read. I do …
Overcomers
Revelation 12:11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. As I read Ephesians 1-2, I just wondered in amazement at all God has offered those who put their trust in Him. How gifts are excessively abundant and …
An Unneeded Friend
Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. She slithered with grace Embracing my shoulders, And whispered sweet comforts Into my ears. Her words were so smooth Like honey melted, Helping me focus On thoughts of despair. “If only you, dear, Did not have to …
A Song for Return
He chose Judas And called him, Friend. Though He knew from the start How this friendship would end. Jesus offered hope Until the dying breath. His ears stayed attuned For the heart that would repent. But He will not control He lets each one choose, Whether to give their life to Him, Or whether to …
The promises of God

As the other verses are more closely worded to the actual verses, I adjusted that sentence to reflect Scripture. Hope it is a …
Bitter Songs: God’s Care in the Pit
And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? Ruth 1:20-21 …
A Song of His Presence
As much as I remember that only God can change the course and direction of this world, Election Day always presents itself with a sliver of hope to my heart. Maybe this time, someone with morals and ethics and integrity will come and turn this sinful nation around. Anyone else? Then, I remember what kind …
A Song of Peace for the Battle
The Garden of Gethsemane (If you’ve been reading my writings for a while, you may recognize this from several years ago. As I read Psalm 55 this morning, I felt led to share it again today. I also shared a song that was from my cd at the end.) There is a jeweled treasure box …
A Song of Invitation
Someone asked me recently what the difference was between what their religion taught and what I was sharing with them from the Bible. We both believed that Jesus died on the cross. We both believed that doing right was important. We both understood that there was a God in heaven who created all things and …
