Password Magic
A password unlocks when the code is just right. Otherwise, the entrance will stay locked up tight. It guards what we treasure, protects what we own. Without the right password, we’re shut out alone. Heaven’s great entrance doesn’t open that way. No magic password lets you just stroll in to stay. Not
Blindness
When walking alone, we might think we see, But blind as a bat we might unknowingly be. The path looks so perfect. It feels oh so right. Yet it can take us down in the dark of the night. Our feelings may waver. They wiggle and swing, So trusting our hearts can be a dangerous
Wrapped in His Love
Don’t worry or tremble. You don’t have to fear. Just talk to the Lord. He is eager to hear. With praises and prayers, give your worries away. He’ll cover your heart with his peace every day. This peace is a gift that the world cannot see. It settles your spirit, and it sets your mind
Fading Ignorance
There’s knowing a thing, and not knowing it too, But worse is choosing to ignore what is true. Writers who say, “I’m good. Don’t need to learn,” Will miss out on wisdom at every turn. We all can forget what we once understood, So write it, rewrite it, and make memory good. A note on
The Ripple Effect
A pebble once tossed in a pond far away, Made dancing ripples that didn’t end in a day. A whisper of truth or a kind, gentle word, Can echo through ages, though barely first heard. Edward Kimball taught D.L. Moody, just one simple man, And Moody led Mordecai Ham to be part of God’s plan.
Glory to Glory
We want to be ready, we plan and prepare, But the future’s a fog, and we can’t see where. We can imagine. We might think we know, But God holds the map of the way to go. We pack up our tools for a job that won’t come, And trip on the tasks that we
Passion and Purpose
A character waiting will bore every crowd. Sitting in the corner, doing nothing isn’t allowed. But readers cry out, “Oh, we want so much more. We want them to do things, to fight and explore.” Active characters have clear goals in sight, Which they will chase from morning till night. Each choice tha
Help Once More
When trouble comes knocking, as troubles often do, Just call on the Lord, and he’ll be there to help you. He’ll answer your cries in the darkest of night, And calm your fears with his power and might. He’ll protect you and honor your name. His love is unconditional, always the same. No matter the
My Business Card
I’ve handed out cards by the thousands, it’s true, But not many folks came a-calling anew. They might have some value. I know that they do. Yet I wonder if something is missing, don’t you? Should my card have a QR code they can see, Which leads to something that I offer for free? A
Meet-Up
We schedule our meetings. We circle the date. With our notebooks handy, we hurry up and wait. But God doesn’t need us to knock on his door. He’s ready to listen, forever and ever more. Some think they must whisper a prayer in a pew, Or follow a ritual that is something we can do.
Responsibility
I asked God one day, “Will you write it for me? The words just won’t flow, and I long to be free.” He whispered with kindness, “That’s not what I do, But I’ll guide every line if you let me lead you. “My job isn’t driving while you fall asleep. It’s showing the write turns
Rest for the Weary Soul
When work piles up and the hours get long, We push and push, but everything goes wrong. Our brains get fuzzy. Our bodies say, “Stop!” But we guzzle some coffee and try not to drop. The truth is quite simple, though hard to confess, More hours can wind up producing even less. Like soil that
