Every single person you see today was created by God and for His pleasure. Each one is a gift. Pay attention to the people you meet, talk with them, pray for them, and encourage them.

My wife and I have returned to the Buckeye state after three weeks of travel and spending time with family. I am looking forward to resuming my regular posting schedule. It will be wonderful to catch up with many of you through your own writings.
I am asking for others to join my family in prayer for our mother in Montana. Martha is 88 years old, and she is bravely facing the challenges of dementia in her journey.
I will be away for about three weeks. My wife and I are traveling to see family. This will be the last post until I return.
Thank you for your readership. I will look forward to catching up my blog during the second half of July.
Intimacy with words
Flowing through writer’s pen
Around every corner

Rendezvous’ inner self
Finding rhythm’s rewards
Another page finished
Unleashing what’s been stored
Opportunity’s breath
Rising with morning’s light
Precious minutes smile back
Composing what feels right
Familiar journey’s peace
Searching depth of each phrase

Igniting thoughts ablaze
Each quiet reflection
Waking now to deploy
Focused on tender points
Dispensing heartfelt joy

Because one has written other books does not mean the next becomes any easier.

Transformation of peace
Gathered in God’s hands

Hearts filling with truth

Never forsaken
Loved through God’s caring
Steadfast grace now descends
Savior’s forthwith sharing
New covenant’s breath
Charged from God’s boldness
Praises full of wonder
Christ transforms sin’s coldness
Enemy trembles
Quashed by God’s own hand
Holiness lives throughout
Redemption comes as planned
From Psalm 89:5-6: “Let the heavens praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord.”

From John 8:12: “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'”
D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher. He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.
Rhythm’s Balance
Thinnest clouds gather
Horizon’s comforting song—
Rainfall’s gentle pace
Fabric’s Serenity
Landscape’s loving touch
Daughter of darkness sleeping—
Tranquility’s breath
Overnight’s Transition
Nightly darkness fades
Morning’s quiet peace rises—
Transforming earth’s heart
