The Hat
The day had been a gift. An evening
full of closure that we never expected to receive and a reunion with family that had been lost to us most of our lives. And a hat…an old hat that now rides through the hills of TN remembering where it came from, happy to be home.
Overcast
I knew God had not forsaken me. His word promised He never would. But I was looking at a cloudy, overcast sky, yet again, unable to find the sun. Its warmth absent. How was I supposed to know which way to go without it? There are seasons when we’re desperate in our...
Tune Your Ears
TUNE YOUR EARS TO HEAVEN. I HAVE MANY THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOU. Q: How can I tune my ears, Lord? Just as you would a piano. Every flat or sharp areas in your life need realigned with me and the perfect tone of the spirit. Do this and your song will join heavens song...
The Power of Your Song
Do you believe that your sound, the song that God put into you has power? God’s sound, his voice, created the world. Jesus’ voice told the wind to still, the lame to walk and the blind to see. And Romans 8:11 tells us that God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in us!...
Fierce – The Ides of March
There are moments in life that you’ll never forget. Moments where time stands still and you’re aware of every breath, every thought. And they stay that way too, forever a moment that you can re-enter, living every part as if it were here and now. March 15th was one of...

Forgotten
I recently took a trip with my dad to an old cemetery. Research had led me to believe that we had ancestors buried there. It was a wonderful adventure and we discovered much..I will share more about it with you another time.. But one thing that I haven't been able to...
Are You Ready, Warrior?
There are demons on all fronts Working overtime Circling Narrowing Making the circle smaller and smaller that surrounds me I see the evil in their eyes I know why they've come I've been expecting them They bring torment, pain and shame The instinct is to look...
Stillness
I love the stillness of the night The way my mind expands and soars Searching here, searching there Regurgitating, analyzing, seeking more and more to discover, more and more to know It winds and twists and stretches Reaching the very edge of the next discovery And...
Overwhelmed
The story of our lives is ever unfolding. Your goodness and creativity in our lives displayed as we pursue everything You are. You aren’t a building, a program or promotion. You aren’t something predictable or manageable. You are wild...and peace. And I wake...
Presence
Sometimes I’m in Your arms and You carry me. Sometimes I hold Your hand and You lead me. Other times I search for Your footprints in the ground, You direct me. At all times, Your presence is guiding me. Help us to follow regardless of which situation we find...
Estranged
Relationships can be complicated! Often I share encouraging thoughts, songs and poems, but there is much more to life than that. As an optimist, it has been a painful reality in my life that not all relationships will be restored. The easy button isn’t...
Sunshower
SUNSHOWER I’ll cry everyday if I have to I won’t be afraid of these tears I’ll walk through this valley of sorrow But I won’t let it cause me to fear As the sunlight begins to shine brighter And the clouds dissolve into rain A colorful promise reminds me That the joy...
Wanderlust
I long to travel to far off lands. See God's beauty His creation The work of His hands. The diversity of skin, of home, of outstretched ground. He's there in new places, ruined spaces, the ancient unfound. The smell of the sea, the forest, the cave, the cafe The...
Set Sail
It's time to set sail. I've walked through town, slowly gathering all my belongings. Now packed and everything on my boat, I sit staring out into the unknown. I cannot lie. My fears still exist and my heartrate is quick, but I climb into the boat. I look back at...
I Belong
I carry the blood of my enemies It runs deep through my veins I carry the sin of my fathers The darkness there fills me with shame My cries to the Lord have been many To take this torment away It's then that He thunders a whisper To quiet my anxious refrain...
