Immeasurably
I stepped out for a moment of light and air, a few minutes under sun with God’s good earth under my feet and the far- reaching sky above, a little time to be as so many have stood, a created being joyfully understanding there is a God, and He loves me immeasurably, and that isContinue reading “Immeasurably”
First Love
Sometimes— when the world is on fire, when we melt- down into a desperate stew of raw emotion to the tipping point of ruins and ashes— despair closes over us, but there is hope, full and perfect, constant and beautiful, the Light of the world and Redeemer of all surrendered, and He calls those whoContinue reading “First Love”

Jesus is well acquainted with our lives, the daily difficulties, the simple truth that a body gets tired and needsContinue reading “Wellspring”
Gray Days
O Wind, if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? — Percy Bysshe Shelly It takes just a few gray days before I miss the sun and long to feel that heat on my skin. Winter just begins and my mind always moves forward to spring, that glorious season of first things — new growth,Continue reading “Gray Days”

You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set. —Psalm 104:19, NLT It hasn’t felt all that different yet.
