Sometimes It Takes A Storm
What do they matter – all these things acquired? Trunks in storage Boxes in the attic Bins under the bed And oh, all the toys strewn throughout the house distracting from what? My past? Our present? An unknown future? Or maybe, the Truth? In my dream, I was tossed about and pulled under the sea…

A Prayer for Whatever I Need
Dear God: I need a great deal of Your patience in order to wait with grace for You to work out Your will in my life. Yet, I fear asking for it. I have experienced the lessons – so many – You have showered on me so I can learn patience. So, You see my…

Enough*

What If I Am?
What if I’m Peter – hard-headed and all temper, bullish and thoroughly full of my self? What if I’m Matthew – greedy and egocentric, stingy and working only for my self? What if I’m Thomas – insecure, filled with doubt, shaky and shielding harm from my self? What if I’m Nathanial – righteous in what…

The Image
In the strength of the woman holding her sick child in a never-ending line at the pharmacy, I clearly see it. In the annoying one whose babbling about petty things stirs the angst inside me, I pray to see it shine. In the eyes of the stranger who smiles as he holds open a door,…
