The Shadow Of Death
The morning is calm and the air is sweet, But not before long, the darkness and I will meet. Back and forth, day and night I can’t do this much longer, especially by my own might. New mercies are promised and steadfast love is for me but why is this stench still smothering me. Your words drowned… Read More
The Impossible Made Possible
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

“And I Ran Out Of That Grave”
So, I’m trying this new thing. I’m calling it, wait for it … “Get healthy” Which basically involves being attentive to what I eat, making healthier food choices, and walking on the treadmill.

The breeze is nonexistent. The shock is deafening and hearts and minds have become numb. This week we will helplessly watch while a family grieves the loss… Read More
Sweet Monday
It is amazing how quickly we can religiously shift from the prodigal son, being loved on by God to the elder brother, doing all the right things for God but missing the party.

A woman of faith who has persevered through turmoil and still chooses to love God. Yep, that’s her. And the best part? She thinks I’m funny. I’m even going to go out on a… Read More
Broken Cisterns
I was a born again child of God shooting heroin. ~ Jonathan Dale Sweet friends of mine, there’s no messing around today. There’s a choice to be made. Today’s the day.

Once, more than 10 years ago, we were wandering the streets on the coast of North Carolina at an art festival with the sea breeze in our hair and a swagger that looked like we knew what we were doing there.
