Preserve Us
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in...
...Where all that is not music is silence.
Nor is there anything we can ask for ourselves that we may not ask for another. We may commend any brother, any sister, to the common fatherhood. And there will be moments when, filled with that spirit which is the Lord, nothing will ease our hearts of their love but the commending of all men, all our brothers, all our sisters, to the one Father. Nor shall we ever know that repose in the...

Fun to dream
Hearing a beat shoulders sway would they next to yours?
Catching light Catching fish with lens or line would I next to you?
Making a word Tasting the Word would we as “we”?

Trust Never laid out for me Like a clean set of clothes Trust Always manufactured With sweat-filled peace
If it flows effortlessly That is a mercy. But for me, trust must be chosen.
Trust Most unnatural of naturals. Create it to beget more.

"Those Borders of Distrust" excerpt
“… and shall leave Me alone.” Have we left Jesus alone by the scattering of His providence? Because we do not see God in our circumstances? Darkness comes by the sovereignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do as He likes with us - prepared to be separated from conscious blessings? Until Jesus Christ is Lord, we all have ends of our own to serve; our faith is real, but it is...
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Sometimes God’s blessings are so astounding that I feel I’m about to burst with the joy of being alive. Even when I don’t feel that though, His blessings are just as present, just as real. His love never fails.
God is GOOD, all the time, all the time, God is GOOD.
