Monday Light: Nature’s Pinafore

Beauty lies in the expression of the soul
Grace, like Nature’s Pinafore, hangs in the balance
Elemental, it does not seek its own counsel
A sad, older tune weaves it to fruition
Tears shimmer in a stardust rain.

God is the Ultimate Travel Agent 3: Direction

Immanuel — God with us — is the Biblical revelation that in Christ we have a traveling companion on our journey Who is with us wherever we go. We had a good run with that aspect of the Christian faith in the last installment of this series, but this time, I would like to diverge […]

Monday Light: Spring is in the Air

Two for one this time around! (see other post in this category)

I’m so bored of little gods
While standing on the edge of something large
While standing here, so close to You
We could be consumed
What a glorious day
What a wonderful day, today
– David Crowder Band (How Great)

Being powerful

Here’s a cool thought:
The thing that makes you different from everyone else is the thing that makes you powerful.
Amazing how true this is and how often we forget it. In our need to be accepted by others, we moderate our true personality and try to morph into something that perhaps we’re not. I can literally […]

Monday Light: Circle of Light

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
– William […]

Call for feedback redux

As promised, I’m reiterating my call for feedback so that I can better server you, my dear readers. I decided I’d do something more intelligent than list some questions in a blog post, so I’ve created a short survey you can fill out (very quick, shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes) that will […]

The lust for power is never satisfied

Adult material warning…this haunting essay by a former booker at an escort agency shows that the issue we’ve seen come to the forefront with the Spitzer scandal is far from isolated in our hallowed American institutions. Whether in Government or Wall Street, the ideals of honor, loyalty, and decency seem to be hard to find […]

God is the Ultimate Travel Agent 2: Immanuel

In the first part of this series, I introduced the idea of God being like a travel agent who maps out our journey and then acts as tour guide to help us reach our ultimate destination. I’d like to pause a moment here before we delve into the mechanics of how that works and reflect […]
