Hiking Home

A chance to seize the day.  We strap on boots.  Take off on, Trail of Life. Not the easy road.Away from city.      Noise.           …Suffocating places that drown the voice of God. Head to wide open…..                Where He speaks through all creation. Even the trees beckon….                 As they reach with limbs of yearning. Calling through […]

Falling into His Pool of Grace

Popcorn.  And young feet pattering…..looking…..searching through treats left out by teenagers the night before.

Dreaded fear.  Like Chinese Torture….it comes […]

Ponderings from the Pond 2

Compelled outside. Early morn. Forsaking beauty for over-sized boots. Loves Eternal.  Still asleep. Wooden dock calling me…. Out of constricting walls.             Into open field.                         Down grassy path…..                                      To waters edge whispering. And there…..I drown in silence.  Devouring His peace, like breakfast to the soul.  Searching for Heaven’s handouts….even more….. And I absorb unfiltered air….unbound by walls […]
