Writer's Notebook

Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry?  Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way.  You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like.  I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing.  You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

The tabs at the top of this page offer quick access to my most recent posts and quotes. Additional tabs allow you to check out older posts dealing with the themes of Christian and general poetry, short stories, and other posts.

Big Sky Buckeye has been in motion since October, 2018. After retiring from teaching after 40 years, I was looking for a place to land. It has been a welcome blessing to meet other writers and readers.

My wife is also a gifted writer in her own right. She published her first book in July, 2025. With a theme of Christian family, BITS ‘N’ PIECES OF MY HEART, offers an outlet for her love of Jesus. The book is filled with short stories, poetry, and devotions for more mature readers. For younger children she shares energizing activities and fun songs. Her book is available on most online bookstore sites.

From Big Sky Buckeye

Christ offers us a safe refuge where we can embrace a haven’s shelter away from the world’s harsh darkness.

Oswald Chambers Quote

Ultimately God will let nothing escape, every detail is under His scrutiny. He never tires of bringing us to the one point until we learn the lesson.

From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face various trials, consider it all joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

Facing oppressive times
Evil’s sly hand upends
Ruthlessness fills darkness
Father’s love shall defend

Seeking mercy’s refuge
Shadows flee at sunrise
Boldness of hour arrives
Father’s outreach supplies

Believing in prayer
All kneel at mountain’s base
Harvest of peace comes forth
Father’s grace shall embrace

Drying up every tear
Deliverance at hand
Heavens open with light
Father’s hope built as planned

Filling destiny’s breath
Humble hearts now rejoice
Death no longer gathers
Father’s redemptive voice

From Isaiah 25:8: “Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken.”

Jesus calls each believer to hold fast to His Father’s inescapable promises. Each of us will follow His path out of our wilderness into the grace of His light.

Before an individual can be saved, he must first learn that he cannot save himself.

From Psalm 27:1: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”

Martin Ralph (M. R.) DeHann (1891-1965) was an American Bible teacher and pastor.

Expectations
Creator’s blueprint
Renewing spirit
Every footprint

Genuineness
Overnight transforms
Hearing autumn’s voice
Nature’s platform

Transformation
October’s delights
Filling every leaf
All colors bright

Celebration
Announced with each hue
Marking time’s passage
Sky remains blue

Companionship
Joins landscape’s crossroads
Mapping out each fall’s
Familiar road

F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

It is not life that’s complicated, it’s the struggle to guide and control life.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist and short story writer.  Much of his best writing occurred during the Jazz Age, with THE GREAT GATSBY being recognized as his best work.
