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 […]

Do you think there is any such thing as, “the greater the loss, the greater the blessing?” Sounds kind of crazy, right? Yet, the older I get and the more life I live, the more I think it could be true. Like many, I have lost much in this life… and many times over, at […]

Sometimes life throws us one curve ball after another. In fact, isn’t it just a given? Is life not full of one challenge after another? Have you ever thought to yourself, “ya, but I think I’ll just sit this one out.” Granted, too much swinging can be tiresome, but curve balls are good because life’s […]

My life is good from day to day Everything appears to be going my way. So, I have not a need for Christianity I might call on God, but only in tragedy. But what if that tragedy is my own? A more convenient season has come and gone. My opportunity then dies with my pride […]

I am tired and nearly spent I give my all – 100% It’s never enough May it be worth it. I feel so weak I’m on my knees I need your strength Lord, help me please. I cry out – Anguish and despair I believe You Not Satan’s snares.

I am no one Just forget me We never met So, no regrets. I must have had No effect So heart and soul Won’t conflict. Say goodbye I won’t cry We have no time So you decide. I’ll see you on The other side Oh, no – wait! It’s judgment time. May God forgive Not […]

Teach me to walk slower, Lord So that I may truly see All of the wonderful treasures You have given me. Teach me to take the time, Lord To stop and smell the flowers For, I can never rewind my life Or relive the hurried hours. Teach me to think before I speak, Lord Lest, […]
