This Is A Letter

              This is a letter, from a modern-day man, to one who may need this. Here I am writing once again, of creating and hoping as you do. This is a message, to someone somewhere, hoping you don't quit, especially when it's tough and creativity doesn't happen easily. This is a word, a surprising "word for someone" that you have a gift, one that can help others (and will help you too), that is good and constructive and will bring others to Jesus. This is an attempt to reach out, hoping it finds you well, and if it doesn't it helps you be well, remembering you aren't alone. Jesus is calling you, calling you to create, find healing and give it (as He gives, works, and leads you), remembering you can create still in a way that speaks of Him (however that looks).  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel ...

To Be.....

                I'll just write, to be right, hoping that's alright; putting down words that may or may not be seen or heard. I'll just write, to be right, hoping that's alright; brain-dumping something on some snowy digital white page in the vast lands of digital that make way through a creative "white-out" I'm walking through.                  One word, then two, writing again. One step, then two, walking through; here I remember this isn't lack but block. Busy holds me; hurt keeps me; or so they try. I acknowledge the hardships that remain, remember the effects left on me; still I'll just write, to find a way that's right, remembering that's alright; here I'm clearing a cluttered mind, heart and soul, and that's the goal. Grateful for creative release and relief found as Jesus works in this "old soul".  Thank You Jesus, thank You!  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a goo...

Let It

        Let it have it's way, this unearthly peace. Let it work deep down, washing pain and hurt with hope. Let the peace of Jesus make you whole, restored again; and be thankful.           Seek His presence and His help, He will show you how.  -inspired by Colossians 3:15  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

Strange Monday (Poetry)

I wish I had something clever to say, here on this unusual Monday. I wonder if I should stop and pray, or simply stay in weird rhymes today. I wish I had something clever to say, here on this unusual Monday; writing and creating anyway. I wish I knew what to say, here on this unmotivated Monday; writing and creating weird rhymes anyway. I'm lookin’ and seein’ there was something to say: create anyway even on a strange day, whether or not it's a strange Monday.

I Told A Story.....

          I told a “Stall Time Story” to our son tonight at bed. I hadn't told those in a while. When he was really little I used to tell them at bath time (usually when he didn't wanna finish bath time; hence the name).            He asked for one tonight, and I told it. I didn't think I had it in me to tell one tonight (it's been a rough few weeks after losing a job the 14th); by the grace of God I was able to though. I didn't realize how fun, therapeutic, and empowering it would be though; for both of us.             What healthy, life-giving habit are you revisiting? How is it giving life, healing, empowerment to you and those around you?  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

He Kept Asking

       We (my son and I) were reading about David and Goliath this morning. There was something that surprised me when reading though. What would be promised to the one who kills Goliath was mentioned several times. First the Israelites were speaking of it, then David asked about it twice (see 1 Samuel 17: 25-30).         I was surprised because I had never noticed HOW much this was mentioned before; then wondered today WHY it was given SO MUCH importance.         David asked twice about what was promised. He wouldn't let that good thing be kept from him (when his brother tried to sideline him). He sought to gain clarity on what good was promised (to make sure he understood what was promised). Thank You Jesus for such understanding You give!

It's Surprising (Triolet Poem)

It's surprising, these small moments of grace.  Hope in hard truths that also bring grace. Caught by surprise when I shouldn't have.  It's surprising, these small moments of grace, Letting it take root again.  Letting revelations do a good work. It's surprising, these small moments of grace. Hope in hard truths that also bring grace. -Inspired by Hebrews 12:4-11 Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.
