Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.

Rooted in Light
From Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to Your name, O Most High, to declare Your steadfast love in the morning and Your faithfulness by night.”
Father in Heaven
Praising His blessed name
Eternity’s hope
Love lights redemption’s flame
Father, O Most High
Sharing His steadfast love
Each morning and night
Rooted in light above
Father, Lord of Hosts
Blessing with mercy’s hand
Depth of love’s light
Just as He always planned
Father’s grace offered
Calling Son’s love to serve
Eyes opened to light
Salvation shall preserve
Father’s promised path
Shredding darkness with light
Christ rises from death
Righteous love taking flight
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.'”

David Jeremiah Quote
Whenever we search out biblical truth about Christ–and we find it in Leviticus as well as in Luke–we are turning our leaves toward the light.
From Leviticus 24:1-4: “The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant, to burn from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. He shall set up the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the Lord regularly.'”
David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.
Enlightened Testaments (Haiku Series #329)
Delivered Grace
Parched landscape cries out
Relay of scattered showers—
Raining tears of joy
Spirit Rests
Darkness arriving
Gentle sunset’s fading light—
Landscape’s nightly peace
Watchful Eyes
Precious resources
Stewardship of earthly gifts—
Tomorrow brightens

Monday Memories: Generation to Generation
The inspiration for this poem comes from an essay written by William E. Farr, “Troubled Bundles, Troubled Blackfeet: The Travail of Cultural and Religious Renewal.” This essay is part of a larger collection of writings that link Montana’s past with its future in the book, MONTANA LEGACY.
Facing an uncertain world
Life asking questions of “when”
Intertribal wars threaten
Hostile danger setting in
Preserving Blackfeet culture
Each passing generation
Saving sacred heritage
Hold for next generation
Ritual artifacts cache
Spiritual lives won’t rest
Supernatural visions
Medicine dreams will attest
Honoring warrior life
Holy treasures speaking out
Collected and safeguarded
Sacred bundles carry clout
Filling with key elements
Common and natural sought
Feathers, hides, shells, horns added
Teeth, wood, bones . . . each with a thought
Passing on these rituals
Mother Earth, Creative Sun
Guarding life’s sacred relics
Legacy, father to son
