Integrity

Integrity. 
Its words and ways 
necessary 
in sites of work 
and ministry. 
Homes. 
Inner rooms. 
Behind closed doors. 
In the street, 
store, 
outdoor space. 
Every place.

Devotional Memoir

Words

Words. Wrestling through antiquated phrasing and sentence structure in classic devotional books engages my mind. Pushes me to discern. 

New versions come out to simplify the flow for today’s reader.

But I’m drawn back to the original way it was written. How sentences were crafted in that era. 

It makes me think about what I’m reading.

Mystery

Mystery. Mysterion. 

One summer night I stand on the porch.
Watching a mystery.

Heat lightning.
Light pulsating in silent, brilliant rhythm.
Illuminating massive white clouds in night sky.
I can’t tear my eyes away.
