A babe in Christ… I still am so don’t release me, yet back into the same secular world with which I’ve just escaped temptation. For awhile, I need to be protected, hidden behind a hedge, and cradled as the babe in Christ that I am. Do not push me from the nest until I can […]

While re-reading some of the poems I’ve posted and working on new pieces, something unsettling occurred to me that I’ve been praying about. As writers, we write what we know.

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock […]
