I awake to see the grey sky, the dark clouds covering, and the reminder of yesterday. All I can do is ask, “Why?” The emptiness inside that comes with defeat, the feeling of failure, and fear. All I can do is ask, “Why?” As tears roll down my face, and my heart yearns for change, … Continue reading Underserved Mercy

A Remembrance Day Tribute
Land. Sea. Air. Theatres of war where young men and women served and for many gave the ultimate sacrifice. Whether on the rocky beaches of Dieppe or the beautiful sand of Juno Beach; whether fighting fierce waves on the dark ominous waters of the North Atlantic; whether flying through the dull grey skies over Britain…all … Continue reading A Remembrance Day Tribute
”You Decide.”
I am thankful for a lot of things. I am thankful for a God who lives and a life redeemed. I am thankful for a wife who loves me and four children who love me too. I am thankful for a church, where I feel comfortable yet challenged. I am thankful for my Christian brothers … Continue reading ”You Decide.”
Christmas in October
Photo by Kadri Vosumae on Pexels.com I was cooking in the kitchen, when suddenly he appeared; he was looking mighty curious with a smile from ear to ear. He slowly walked to where I stood, as he looked from left to right. His face flashed excitement, when he sneaked up to my side. "I need … Continue reading Christmas in October
Welcome back…
“Welcome back...” Drip, Drip, drip, drip. Wipe, Wipe, wipe, wipe. “Thank you, have a great day.” Cough, Cough, cough, sneeze. Whine, Whine, whine, cry. “Take this, it will make you feel better.” Slurp, Slurp, slurp, slurp. Wind howling, rain pouring, darkness all around. “Waaaahhhhhh.” A little voice sounds in the night. “Which one is that?” … Continue reading Welcome back…
Be Aware
Tangle tangle, weave weave. I do not fear what I can’t see. Lurking lurking, waiting waiting. Ever watching - but I don’t really see. Normal normal, clear clear. They said it’s safe, so I’ll go here. Ready ready, ready ready. Life is great, I have nothing to fear. Ready ready, ready… NOW! I love this … Continue reading Be Aware
“Why?”
It was a day like any other, as I prepared a meal, I noticed out the kitchen window, my son swinging from a tree. I rushed to the doorway and with my father’s voice I called: “Get down from there Isaac! Before you fall!” I watched as he flicked his head to one side, with … Continue reading “Why?”
Come be with Me
I awake to the sound of crashing thunder, The loud rumble wakes me from my sleep. My natural alarm clock. It’s 6:23AM. I gather myself as my childhood fear of thunder unnerves me in my bed. My heart is racing. Then I hear your voice, sweet and peaceful as the dawn. Come be with me. … Continue reading Come be with Me
Crystal Blue Shores
Sitting here, I see Your majesty. The water shines in a brilliant blue. Oh! How beautiful! Yet, not as beautiful as You. The foam tossed waves, roll against the shore; the cliffs tall, jagged and worn. Sitting here, I think of Your goodness, and how You changed my life. Like the water, crisp and sparkling; … Continue reading Crystal Blue Shores
