Because He lives, I can see tomorrow.
From Romans 10:9: “Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Nature Overcomes
In recent weeks, high level winds have moved a thick, smoky haze from Canadian wildfires into the airspace in some of the northern regions of the United States.
Northern-based fires burn
Smothering southern skies
Nature under assault
Day-by-day forecasts advise
Hazy, smoky skies
Hiding morning sunshine
Air quality alert
Heavens covered in disguise
Filtered sky above
Waiting for winds to change
Today must continue
Even though feeling short-changed
Fires now flaming out
Welcoming back blue sky
Sun makes blessed comeback
Disruptive smoke says goodbye
Nature overcomes
Pushing through stressful days
Time ahead brings healing
Sky offers hours to stargaze

John Muir Quotes
Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.
The power of imagination makes us infinite.
John Muir (1838-1914) was an Scottish-born, American naturalist. He was one of America’s earliest advocates for wilderness preservation, and he has been referred to as the “Father of National Parks.” His unwavering support and influence led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park.
Bold Journey
From 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.”
Showing gratitude, filled with praise
Daily worship focuses mind
Setting aside time for prayer
Bold journey’s mercy, never blind
Sharing devout faith with others
Treasured gift from Holy God’s hands
Serving with kindness, filled with joy
Bold journey follows His commands
Witnessing morning, Lord alive!
Death abolished, new life begins
Revealing eternity’s road
Bold journey sheds dark life of sin
Dying with Christ, now born again
Redemption drinks from blessed well
Enduring faithfulness shines bright
Bold journey freed from chains of hell
Teaching others from Lord’s Gospel
Strength received from His daily grace
Suffering shared, soldiers of Christ
Bold journey meets in Heaven’s place
From 2 Timothy 2:11-13: “The saying is sure: If we have died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful—He cannot deny himself.”

Charles Swindoll Quote
Nobody is a whole chain. Each one is a link. But take one link and the chain is broken. We need each other. You need someone and someone needs you. Isolated islands, we’re not.
From Colossians 1:9: “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,”
Invigorating Moments (Haiku Series #233)
Absorbed
Afternoon hideout
Character’s introvert side—
Submerged with good book
Replenished
Walking new avenues
Positive energy swells—
Restore and renew
Revitalized
Smallest achievements
Self-esteem’s power supply—
Brighter tomorrow
