Death

Death is the deep shadow. 

Chasm of uninvited separation. Abrupt change. And tangible loss. 

I miss Mom’s voice. Her hugs. Her laugh. And her interest in every little detail. Her focus on what is true and good. Her enthusiasm for learning and growing. Her love for God, His Word. And her example in faithful prayer.

This week would have been her 93rd birthday on earth.

Fragments

Fragments of divided hearts scatter. In the winds of social media. 

Bits and pieces of pride. Rebellion. Hate. Anger. 

And the very avenues that can draw people together, turn and twist. Break trust. Splinter relationships. 

Slander and gossip crowd in.

Calculated deception. 

Articulated for the very purpose of division and destruction.
