Okay so my absolute confession is my enjoyment of “gangsta” flicks, or at least it used to be. More truth would be to tell you I haven’t seen one of these in a very long time! My taste for them lies in reality, at least the ones made from a viewpoint of reality. I’m not [...]

The woman was walking so slow it was impossible not to notice. I myself was in a hurry so I walked quickly past her without looking at her directly. Even without seeing her face I felt my thoughts be stirred for her. She didn’t seem all that old and yet her walk was very feeble? [...]

It was still morning, but mentally I was feeling tired so I decided I’d leave for lunch and find someplace quiet. I usually sit in my car but today I figured I’d sit at a table and look out the window while I ate. I had a book with me I was trying to read [...]

More than a few of my friends talk of something on many minds; romance! Quietly I listen and silently I pray for this romance to touch all. Of course I never feel the need to leave myself out of this blessing either. The greatest emotion to move our lives is love. My observation however, is [...]

A friend was talking of her daughter’s upcoming wedding, and listening to her talk about some of the preparations and decisions to be made reminded me of a question I had made a note about a couple weeks before. While attending a conference, I listened to how we should responsibly prepare ourselves to be ready [...]

On the property where our friends live, there are large pastures dotted with huge oak trees everywhere you can look and a few ponds. I asked my husband to take a short walk with me on the property and we noticed in the direction of the river, a dust cloud was being kicked up by [...]

My friend asked me if I wanted to drive into town with her. I can’t say that I did but I loved spending time with her so I didn’t hesitate to say “yes”. Being alone with her is a rare treat since her life is quite filled with the blessings of family, friends and work. [...]

We were out on the riverfront for a hot summer night taking a walk across the famous Sundial bridge. I had been to see it a few times but had never had the opportunity to see it lit up for the night. It truly was a fascinating architectural achievement. Standing on the sides of the [...]

There was a great sunset not too long ago where the sky looked to be burning embers and the cloud patterns reminded me of a boiling atmosphere. Getting a photo of this was wonderful and I put it into my saved items for contemplation.
The last couple of days made me think of that photo again [...]

He watches me always
His eyes never leave me
Whether I am in joy
Or whether I am in sorrow
He is with me
To comfort me always
Bowing my head low
I know I draw His gaze
I will be still
The storm will rush over me
He covers me with His hands
I remain quiet in the rush
