Sometimes it’s best

October 21, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose

Sometimes after passing back one more piece of candy, one more book, one more toy, shushing someone else’s discomfort, your own tired soul, and eyes that have stared out the window at some of the most beautiful mountain passes you’ve ever seen though you’re too tired even to say so… deep thoughts passed with meadows [...]

{un}Comfortable

September 29, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose

I lay in bed awake last night, thinking. This Jesus who changed the world and changed my world He never did get too comfortable.

Two Roads Diverged on a Coastal Route

March 11, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose

Mr. Potato Head grumbled along the route from Pringle Bay back home, taking the climbs and descents in stride, weaving his way around the beautiful coastal road. The mountains on the right stretch up toward the clouds…green slopes…rock…fynbos undulating in turn beyond the driver side window. She was clearly someone’s maid, just hoping for a [...]
