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.

We all need the conviction of Jesus to face life’s challenges straight on. 

Do you write a daily journal?  This inspiring thought comes from my journal, and much of what is written in my journal comes from reading and commenting on other bloggers’ posts.  Thanks to many of you for adding so much to my journal.

If you have lost your peace, get it back through prayer. Commit every troubling thought to God and receive peace in return.

From Philippians 4:7:  “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Shadows of homelessness
No longer hiding
Infringing on many
Tomorrow’s hope guiding

Hurricane season warns
Potential danger
Boosting nature’s rhythm
Tomorrow’s game changer

Demand from earthly needs
Call to serve others
Contributing with grace
Tomorrow’s stepbrother

Limits on nation’s trust
Erosion’s inroads
Responding with questions
Tomorrow’s answers sowed
 
Diplomacy’s outreach
Future breathes with doubts
Embracing dialogue
Tomorrow’s peace-filled route

From Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion!  Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is He, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

Light assured
From heavenly realm
Every promise
Steering from Father’s helm

Light nourished
From holiest Word
Righteous in truth
Sharing Father’s password

Light gathered
From Savior’s birthplace
Victory breathes
Feeling Father’s embrace

Light sustained
From destiny’s road
Love now descends
Trusting Father’s source code

Light strengthened
From Messiah’s view
Hope now fulfilled
Following Father’s cue

From Zechariah 9:16: “On that day the Lord their God will save them, for they are the flock of His people, for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on His land.”

From Luke 2:10-11: “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.'”
