Scribbling Spiritual Sand, Feb 6

The journey had just begun the day Moses’ parted the Red Sea. Or had it? Only a short time earlier he had faced God for the first time in a very personal way at Mount Horeb. Dusty sandals slipped from worn feet as Moses stood before a bush which would not burn. If that wasn’t [...]

Struggles

I struggled all night, my dear, restlessly drifting in and out of sleep mingled with pain; discomfort, perhaps, a better word. I can imagine others shouts who live with insurance fears? How complicated the monster has become? It looms insane like a hawk’s eye, devilish bird; stirs Sam’s health plan poignantly purr. If one is [...]

Tamarack

The old man and I strolled through our local state park yesterday. Air was autumn crisp and the sun illuminated any leftover foliage. We hadn’t even reached the parking lot when I spotted something standing apart from the rest of nature. It was the tamarack. Tall, stately, and all aglow with brilliance for God Himself; [...]

Isostasy

Isostasy Amazing the physical world is in balance, no concern for elements in counterbalance; trickster’s unequal scales bring forth an imbalance. Measures out boundless bodies of sodden water across sundry pools, an awesome sea sorter. Rains from heaven, changing season’s soul exporter. Calculates the diminutive dust particle… enlightenment is more than solely technical; placement of [...]

Man’s Day

Man’s Day In the distance garden man rose from the ground, that very moment the breath of God filled Adam’s lungs. He was formed from the meager dust of the earth; taking on the image of God with innocence’s and joy. Perhaps, angels shouted great bliss on high. One lush warm day, God poured sleep [...]
