What I Was Missing
I never knew,
the hole I had,
till I found you.
A memory,
from childhood,
of your joy.
Running the fields
Splashing the creeks
Chasing the cats.
And the quiet times;
when you just sit
next to my soul.
Smarter than they say,
sweet little guy.
So full of life.
My funny buddy,
loving hims a treat;
while scratching his back.
When I get home
He comes running
So happy I’m there.
He brings his toy,
For a game of fetch
And tug of war.
He’s so much more
Than just a dog.
He’s my little friend.
I’d protect him,
Like he’d protect me.
That special guy.
My buddy Gus.

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…
