Let All the Earth
Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. — Psalm 85:11, NLT Through leather my fingers grasp the soil, plow a tiny portion of ground, the sun warms my back countering the sensation of cold dirt still waking from winter’s slow-released breath, but the pear trees know, the white blooms announcedContinue reading “Let All the Earth”
Dappled Things
Bounty-laden branches in golden apple orchards, brilliant fields of flaming poppies, a meadow dotted with bowing daffodils, pied patches of wild-sewn maize, the amber thatches of wheat that dance as the wind sweeps over a wide plain, these leaves laced in rings above my head — Glory be to God for dappled things. —C.L. Fisher,Continue reading “Dappled Things”

Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. —Psalm 57:8 You sing for me and the mountain before the others rise, and I feel as if I could listen to this symphony, your warbles and the quaking leaves, until Jesus walks me home — suchContinue reading “Dawning Praises”
Hued Praises
If you see my art-space — crumbled paper towels like tie-dyed bundles, shavings from my many graphite pencils, gnawed eraser ends, everything dusted in charcoal and dotted with tints and ink — you might think, “Such a mess!” But it is a welcoming place to begin something gloriously imperfect; even great failures teach me somethingContinue reading “Hued Praises”
A Grand Charity
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers — the moon and the stars you set in place — what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? — Psalm 8:3-4 There is great comfort in the majesty of treesContinue reading “A Grand Charity”
