Preconceived

Preconceived outcome 
looms.
Hinders.
Weakens the witness.
“Do you believe this is true?”
A simple question. 
One I can ask 
after 
sharing the gospel.
But everything in my mind 
braces for resistance,
remembering
frequent rejections.
Anxious thoughts pile up. 
Expecting the “no.”

Devotional Memoir

Treasure

Treasure. In my childhood, any mention of it fascinated me. Inspired imagination. 

Treasure buried. Hidden. The historical findings of archaeological digs revealed in layer after layer. 

The mystery, captivating. How various clues led to discovery. Of riches. And ancient civilizations. 

In those days, I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. But meanwhile, I was on the lookout. Tracing evidence that might lead to a prize.

An old key I found. Childhood treasure.
