Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) was an American poet and writer. Much of her writing features a satirist’s view of the world. Based in New York City, her wit found a home in her writing.
From 2 Corinthians 3:17: “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Oceans of Father’s mercy
Flowing deep and wide
Replacing darkness with kindness
His eternal light, our guide
No mountain ever too high
Praising His glory
Entering Father’s safe fortress
His Word reveals our story
Calvary’s dark cross conquered
Viewing empty tomb
Looking to heavens, Christ risen
His grace spares life’s sinful doom
Eternity’s gate opened
Breaking evil’s chains
Following Jesus, freedom calls
His righteousness grabs life’s reins
Every precious life matters
Redeeming each heart
Nourishing with faith’s Living Bread
Father’s plan offers fresh start
From Galatians 5:1: “For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

There is something wonderfully exciting about reaching into the future with excited anticipation, and those who pursue new adventures through life stay younger, think better, and laugh louder.
From Jeremiah 29:11: “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.“
Normally, Saturday’s post features “Trivia’s Facts and More.” The highway has led me to my native home of Montana. Enjoy this poem.
Heading west again
Leaving Buckeye land
Passing fields of corn
Highway’s singing band
Heading always west
Looking for blue sky
Small towns say hello
Highway time flies by
Heading west each day
Indiana waits
Illinois rolls by
Highway distance great
Heading ever west
Iowa belongs
Minnesota treats
Highway rolls along
Heading west for sure
South Dakota smiles
Wyoming roams free
Highway conquers miles
Heading west today
Montana’s hello
Big Sky welcomes home
Highway’s final show
My writing will be taking a well-deserved vacation while I wander under the Big Sky. My next post will be published on Tuesday, August 22. Everyone take care.

Being obedient to the truth means that we don’t have to look at others through the distorted lens of our own biases. We can see them as God sees them and love them as He loves them.
From 1 Peter 1:22-23: “Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual affection, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.”
Predawn countdown
Night shift ending
Morning wakens
Sunrise pending
Tender blossoms
Open to light
Melody plays
New day takes flight
Harmony shines
Dew-covered grass
Nature reflects
Treasured stained glass
Quietness reigns
Early hour waits
Tiny breeze calls
Foreshadowed fate
Scene fills with love
Creation sings
Postcard painted
Blessed heartstrings
