Gates

Gates. I love a good gate.

Carefully carved and crafted. 

Designed for beauty and strength. 

Providing entry or denying access.

Walls

Walls of Jericho stand tall. Towering. 

Encircling darkened nations. Cities. Communities. Hearts.

Looming large and impossible in our eyes.

Stone upon stone. Holding firm.

In opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Walls.

Keep writing

Picking up a pen. And opening my notebook to a fresh page. I keep writing.

Remembering times I’ve jotted down thoughts in Southeast Asia’s tropical humidity. Hands sticking to the paper. Ink smudging along the way.

Or cities on the subcontinent where I’ve huddled in a blanket. At my desk. On mornings when tile floors and no heat mean cold seeps into the bones.

Regardless, I keep writing.
