Christmas Lights
All around was darkness, the night in full array. But piercing through the night, Christmas lights on display, Lights that shimmered and shined from far, far, far away. Driving through neighborhoods, Christmas lights on display. Red lights in window panes, white lights hanging on eaves, Sparkled lights, Christmas trees, blinking lights on green…
Righteousness Through Faith
Our Bible Study group is going through the book of Romans, and I stumbled across a thought worth repeating. Paul says, in some of our favorite verses in the book of Romans,”for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that…

Refining Fires
All around us the howling of a windstorm, The cold of a snowstorm, thermals of a firestorm. Not talking weather but trials beyond displeasure. Storms’ outer afflictions and inner contradictions.

Christmas 2019
The human dilemma’s incurable disease, Fraught with conflict, drama, maker of misery. Not positive thinking, nor resolutions new, Can overcome the sin that lies in me and you.
