Podcast Positioning
I don’t go out seeking. I don’t go to beg. But podcasts do knock and pull at my leg. A few each year say, “Please, won’t you speak?” They’re thrilled when I come to talk that week. About half the time, I return for the show. The other half vanishes. That’s how things go. I’ve
Road Brand New
I thought of the mess when I went my own way, The potholes, the pitfalls, the price I must pay. The shadows grew longer. My nights turned to gloom. And pride only marched me straight toward my doom. But then came a whisper, a tug on my heart, “Turn back to the truth. You can
Truth Alive
Some say the truth can bend or sway, But truth stands firm, both night and day. No argument can make any truth new. It simply is what it is—forever true. We choose either to embrace or deny, To face the truth or to chase a lie. The well of truth is like water near, But
Shining Writing
Don’t hide your bright light in a box or a cup, For once it is covered, it never shows up. The world needs your words. Let them sparkle and glow. Throw open the shutters and let your brilliance show. Plagiarism is wearing a mask, saying we aren’t real, But God’s truth in our writing brings
Masked Man
Some wear a mask when they walk in the door. They act like a saint but are something much more. Outside, they will blend with the world in disguise, But Jesus sees truth, not the masks or the lies. A window of glass can look plain, cold, and gray, But sunlight reveals all its colors
Brightly Shining
Don’t hide your bright light in a box or a sack, For once it is covered, it might never come back. A candle needs air. It was made to shine bright, So open your window and pour out the light. The smile that you share is a spark in the night, It warms the heart
The Hero, the Truth, and the Tale
Our hero steps forward, a problem in hand. He stumbles and tumbles. Things don’t go as planned. Each fix that he tries brings him deeper in gloom, Till danger grows larger and fills up the room. The hurdles keep building, growing tall and wide. He trips and he slips, and there’s nowhere to hide. His
Writing Truth
A writer once asked, “What is truth? Can it be? Is it hiding in words or the story I see?” But truth isn’t tricky, it’s not just a game, It lives in the heart where the real stories flame. You can follow a formula, plot out each beat, But without living truth, it will fall
Trusted Words
If you say you will do it, then do it you must, For promises crumble when decayed with rust. A yes should mean yes, and a no should mean no. Like seeds in the garden, they’re planted to grow. A bridge that is shaky will wobble and fall, But one that is sturdy stands strong
Prayer, Priority, Persistence, and Patience
When life feels all jumbled, a tangle, a mess, I start with Prayer. It’s my key to success. It quiets the day’s noise and opens the door, To wisdom and strength and favors galore. Then comes Priority, knowing what’s best, Not chasing problems, but setting aside the rest. Like stacking your blocks in
Help, Lord
I don’t have a clue, not a thought in my head, The plans that I made have run away instead. Some days I do much. Then the next, I do none. But each day with God is a great day that’s begun. I wish I could know, but I stumble and guess, Confusing my wisdom
Flexibility
When writing a story, a poem, or song, Be willing to change if the phrasing feels wrong. Be flexible, ready to adjust. Let edits refine, But firm on truth that God plants in each line. A rut is just scribbling the same tired way. A groove is a rhythm that brightens the day. Don’t fear
