    I see you, blossom of mine, in the darkness. …my companions have become darkness.  Psalm 88, I Cry Out Day and Night Before You, verse 18 Our children want to die, and their companions have become darkness. We thought that if we did everything right, if we trained them in the way they should go, if we instructed their hearts in Truth, they would be safe. Such cruel untruth. I am aware at this moment of no… Read More

    For Celeen, a meditation on Psalm 34   I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will continually be in my mouth Even as bombs destroy my home and the provision of my people.   My soul makes its boast in the Lord; Let the humble hear it and be glad As the bells ring over Beirut Above the chaos of hope disappointed.   Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us… Read More

    Metamorphosis: (Greek: metamorphoó) a complete change of character, appearance, substance, or form. To transform.

Romans 12:2 As I wrangled with my own bad attitude toward personal transformation this week, a butterfly landed in… Read More

Cease your troubled thunder.   Hush now, heart, Compose yourself,   Discern the song of silence.   Can you… Read More
