What’s Inside
Out of treasure of my heart Pours that which is inside, If love is what I want for fruit, I must with Love abide. When I’m crossed and bitterness Or angry words, unkind, Like arrows from my mouth shoot forth, And temper does unwind, It simply proves my soul is full Of straw and worldly… Read more

Feed the Hungry
Our Father God, the Master Chef Divine, First artisan of bread and merry wine, Planned it all out when the world He made, Back when fruit was shaped for Eden’s shade. Delights of taste created by His hand, Intending food to gladden every man. Much more than simple strength does food supply, It blesses humankind… Read more

Dirt Beneath my Boots
As I hike the dusty trail I find Truth about the dirt has come to mind. The lowly dust is praising God along With the music of the pine trees’ song. This humble dust has never once complained Though trampled often and exposed to rain. The same dirt is what I regularly sweep And toss… Read more

Specks

Onto the sweetness bitterness is tossed, When trials come along; (they surely will.) Love leans in or else it will be lost. The work of love; it always is uphill, A willingness… Read more

Fireside
We built a fire oceanside; A hole in the sand and wood inside; Dancing flames cast cozy light On me and on the waves that night. I thought on the fire that Jesus made For his friends out fishing one day; He’d brought the means to build the fire; Sharing a meal was his desire.… Read more

Love Suffers
A mother sees her suffering child And with desire nearly wild She craves instead his cup of woe, To have it so she’s helpless though. A Father to His Son once gave All suffering to His people save. How much it must have pained my God; Wrath to pour for broken law On the One… Read more
