I have learned many things in my life.Some things I learned from Him, learned in strife.Empty, hurting I was, needed Him.Needed … Continue reading Why Do I Do What I Do?

Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?
Is He there, or barely mentioned?Does He fit with all the tension?Is He in the ribbons, wrappings?Is He in the culture’s trappings? Is He in the food and parties?Overeating, faith departing?Is He in the twisted humor?Is He in the stories rumored? Is He in the decorations?Is He in the mild flirtations?Is He in your conversations?Or … Continue reading Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?

Lies and Betrayals
Lies and betrayals,And many a tale,And multitudes sacrificedWhile their chiefs hailed. Ribbons and marches,And buildings and arches,And letters of magnitude,And those of gratitude. Crowds of confusionAnd lots of illusionsLeaves many in darknessRegardless of smartness. The enemy knows how to fool,Armored with many a tool,Knows where our triggers lie,Knows that for what we’ll die. For he … Continue reading Lies and Betrayals
