The Narrow Way

Turn my eyes away from worthless things… — Psalm 119:37 There is so much beauty in this weary and broken world— butterfly wings, the sun each morning, kindness, gentle words— we must walk in two truths: we live in a world ravaged by our fallen nature, and we live in a world lit by YourContinue reading “The Narrow Way”

We are all broken — that’s how the light gets in. — Unknown If you wait, light will break in the most splendid ways, and to be still in that bright focus of a truth that has never stopped changes everything. —C.L.

Soul Portrait

If God grant me any gift of creativity, may I be a willing-hearted artisan, giving that gift back, reflecting His glory, humbled by any part He allows in an expression of life. There is always something niggling to get out, some phrase, some scribble, some soul utterance that tells part of my story, reveals aContinue reading “Soul Portrait”

Standing Under Trees II

“I took a walk in the woods and left taller than the trees.” — Henry David Thoreau Sometimes standing under trees is the only way I can breathe deeply enough to relax, to calm myself into remembering what I am — this steady pacing, a day to day reckoning of the joys and consequences ofContinue reading “Standing Under Trees II”
