I was curious about what loyalty is. This is what the dictionary says about its definition….faithful to law; upholding the lawful authority; faithful and true to the lawful government; faithful to the prince or sovereign to whom one is subject; unswerving in allegiance; true to any person or persons to whom one owes fidelity, especially [...]

A couple years ago I read a book about Azusa Street. For those who don’t know this historical lesson, I won’t insult anyone by trying to share it in a paragraph or more. I can only say it’s worth looking up the testimonies. Weigh for yourself the truth of the matter like you would any [...]

I was asked to sign a book today. Being a writer this should have flattered me and I admit I was touched, but this was not a book I felt any inclination to sign. My new friend had been given a bible and was very stoked by a verse I had shared with her. I [...]

I looked at my feet today, I mean really looked at them for what they were. I love to hike and walk, but recently I had new blisters and areas of pain I’d never experienced in such consistent manner. I hadn’t thought I was doing anything exceptionally different or strenuous for my precious feet.

In contemplation of how to be a surrendered soul, I’ve had to look more in depth at the true definition of the word surrender. Easily I’ve sung and spoke about my surrender, but I don’t know that I’ve understood enough the meaning. To relinquish possession or control is not easy when I can’t agree to [...]

The heart of a mother is indescribable. I have seen women bloom in this motherly love but I’ve also seen women who’ve been destroyed by it. The umbilical cord may be severed at birth, but the attachments of the heart are life long. I’ve witnessed a motherly heart in those who have birthed children and [...]

My tall, slim buddy with a cane I met today had quite the tale. Seems like I keep meeting up with dudes who want to “shuck their shirts” in order to share some artwork of one kind or another. I am touched every time. I have come to realize their bodies are the living canvas [...]

I love art in ways I can’t explain. All kinds of arts. Sound, texture, visual, structural, written and just about anything made. I can find enjoyment in creativity itself which many find strange, but I feel is normal. A greater gift I can’t imagine than to enjoy the creation about us.

The guy was taking a leak against the wall when we walked past him on a city sidewalk. To his credit the man was discreet to keep himself covered and he had his back to us, but there was no surprise for what he was doing. He was homeless and had no immediate facilities to [...]
