A Summer Place
The Lake;
sparkling vast
like a river of crystal
through a green golden dream.
The air is warm,
and the breeze is cool.
The music plays,
and the kids run.
The birds;
those lovely birds
our friends, singing
sweet to the beat
of Life.
Zoom to the lake,
perfectly warm, but
cool enough.
Dragonflies swoop,
where the fish jump.
It’s hard to stand;
in the wake of the boats.
Waves pounding the shore,
Slap, Slap, in rhythmic
slapping just to slap some more.
Laughter in the air
The sun lowers down,
while the shadows are long,
till it drops gone,
and the skeeters sing.
Slap, slap, slap
the lake still breathes.
Frogs gloat, crickets call
and the booze hound shouts.
It’s time for him to sleep.

On Father’s Day
Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
