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.

How Do We Pray?
It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…
As If By Fire
We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
