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.

Chasing memories

Chasing memories. 

In a season crowded with reminders. 

Decor. Music. Stories. Photographs. Taking us back.

We’re looking for a simpler time. Before complex issues came to our attention. And weighty matters entered the picture. 

Before we knew.

Obscurity

Obscurity marks journeys of the faithful. 

Not planned, necessarily. 

Or wanted. 

But purposeful in the work and way of the Lord.
