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.

Rejoice with this new day

God sharing precious love

Blessed Word guides our way

Behold gifts from above

Extend love to others

Family and friends shine

Each sister and brother

Feeling God’s love, divine

Christ sheds blood, out of love

Building faith’s cornerstone

Treasured, caring, proud of

Never feeling alone

Remembering God’s saints

Memories still alive

Cherished thoughts now repaint

Holding tight each archive

Lord is God, brings His light

Giving thanks for His grace

Blessed angels take flight

Precious love shall embrace

From Psalm 118:1: “O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever!”

From Big Sky Buckeye

Our Father’s mercy becomes alive when we trust in His Son’s love.

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.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Quote

Posted on September 14, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.

From Matthew 22:36-39: “‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.'”

Love’s Faithful Fabric

Posted on September 13, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 103:2-4: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits—who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.”

Gracious Father’s mercy
Abounding depth of love
Steadfast, unconditional
Foresight received from above

Heavenly redemption
Healing each hardened heart
Grace flowing with forgiveness
Savior’s light confirms hope’s start

Father’s witness bears truth
Fulfilling righteous norms
Always love one another
Armor of light now transforms

Christ’s clearest instructions
Building love’s exercise
Works of darkness laid aside
Messiah’s trusted franchise

Called to forgive others
Shedding blindness through light
Love’s faithful fabric now sown
Relationship’s comfort bright

From Romans 13:10: “Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.”

Jesus descended to earth to serve the Father in defining what love’s forgiveness truly means.

Edward Hallowell Quote

Posted on September 13, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

When we forgive, the slave we free is ourselves.

From Mark 11:25: “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”

Edward Hallowell (born 1949) is an American psychiatrist, speaker, and author.
