When we intently nourish our spirit from the Word of Christ, we hear and see things which transform our very beings.

Charles Stanley Quote

On our own, we can accomplish nothing.  But with God, we have access to power beyond our comprehension.

From John 15:4-5:  “Abide in Me as I abide in you.  Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me.  I am the vine; you are the branches.  Those who abide in Me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from Me you can do nothing.”

Early morning moon

Leaving at sunrise

Life awakens above

Welcoming brightest blue skies

 

Heavens’ newest page

Sharing rested smile

Vision captures each scene

Unlocking Creator’s file

 

Light follows skyward

Landing at treetop

Canopy’s leafy look

Holding up every dewdrop

 

Clouds shift overhead

Fluffing each pillow

Onboard timeless sunset

Rising with every billow

 

Gentle breeze humming

Composing fresh tunes

Harmony’s precision

Sailing toward fullest moon

Tennessee Williams Quotes

Time is the longest distance between two places.

There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.

Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) was an American playwright and screenwriter.  His written contributions to dramatic productions are evident in classics such as “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

Deliverance Restored

From Psalm 25:4-5:  “Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all day long.”

Day to night . . . night to day

 

Praying for His guidance

Looking to God above

Trusting His every breath

Darkness absorbs His love

 

Lighting path of wisdom

Teaching His righteous way

Finding strength in God’s Word

Thankful, kneeling to pray

 

Forgiving transgressions

Walking toward His grace

Keeping God’s covenant

Humbleness fills heart’s place

 

Unshackling sinner’s chains

Living under God’s peace

Replacing mind’s worry

His love shall never cease

 

Believing in God’s Son

Accepting Him as Lord

Tasting redemption’s joy

Deliverance restored

 

Night to day . . . day to night

From Psalm 25:20-21:  “O guard my life and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.  May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You.”

Prayer is the best wireless communication.

From James 5:16:  “Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.  The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.”
