Father, You are so much more than magnificent, more. But there’s not really a word to describe You, is there? If a word could describe your power and greatness, you would be too small to worship. If a human could find that one word, that descriptive [...]

Hear me now God

By |2024-03-12T22:55:29+00:00March 12, 2024|Categories: Uncategorized|

With my eyes closed, it sounds like the crackling of the stars. The moaning of the wind and the grass crunchy under my feet in winter. It’s soft and soothing like baby powder but strong and protective like thunder in the raging clouds of spring. How do [...]

It lasts only a moment

By |2024-03-12T22:48:35+00:00March 12, 2024|Categories: Uncategorized|

It lasts only a moment. That short space of Time when my eye catches a color in the sunset, and I have no idea what the name of that color is. Not purple, not magenta, not orchid. Not even blue. It saturates my vision for a split [...]

I’ve never wondered til now…

I Am A Wind Chime

By |2024-01-01T22:40:46+00:00January 1, 2024|Categories: Self, short story|

I have a wind chime hanging from the rafters of my deck. It’s the usual, twine, a bell, and a bright red cardinal. He is stone, of course, painted with a garish red paint, the typical cardinal markings in black. A few feet away, three red, [...]

At the Transfiguration..

By |2024-01-01T22:43:21+00:00December 30, 2023|Categories: Self, short story|

At the Transfiguration It was as if Jesus said, “Now I will remove my humanity and show you my…Reality. This is Who I Am…This is Me. ” How slowly Earth-Time must have dragged by for God in the Flesh. All of His Splendor crammed into a [...]

After nights and nights of cloud-filled skies

By |2024-01-01T22:42:54+00:00December 24, 2023|Categories: short story|

After nights and nights of cloud-filled skies, it’s about time. Tonight the sky is finally clear and filled from horizon to horizon with stars, like a great, universe-filled snow globe. The clouds are all tucked away at last. It’s like the stars are applauding our patience [...]

Alone…

By |2024-01-06T17:12:44+00:00December 21, 2023|Categories: Self, short story|

Alone... ...is a word I’m well acquainted with, as are many of you who will someday read this. It’s not the same as lonely. Although loneliness can certainly arise from it. Being alone is also not the same. The arrival of people may fill the gap [...]

Does this happen to you?

By |2024-01-06T17:12:12+00:00December 12, 2023|Categories: short story|

Sometimes when I wake up, my heart that lives in my brain has already been plotting the day ahead without me. Thoughts that don’t belong are filling it like a turned on faucet with a broken handle. They splash and flood, filling my cup so nothing [...]
