Love is the natural flow or outgrowth of the wisdom of oneness.

Brooke Hampton Quotes
We cross paths, sometimes even travel together for a bit–to learn from each other.
Drama doesn’t just walk into your life. Either you create it, invite it, or associate with it.
Leading On
From Luke 9:59-60: “To another He said, ‘Follow Me.’ But he said, ‘Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.'”
Life’s journey calling thee
Expectations reach out
Chains of flesh holding tight
Darkness casting its doubt
Hundreds gather to hear
Christ willingly teaches
His actions empower
Endless spirit reaches
Christ commands, follow Me
Father’s Word sets life’s tone
Go, proclaim His kingdom
With God, never alone
Spirit’s transforming hand
Born again, faith renewed
Hope’s patience enduring
Evil’s choices subdued
Life’s labors, not in vain
Daily, Christ leading on
His steadfast support stands
Tomorrow’s lasting dawn
From 1 Corinthians 15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
Path of Life
From Psalm 16:1-2: “Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.'”
Seeing foolishness
Walking darkest roads
Life’s journey of faith
Coming to crossroads
To whom shall we choose?
Evil’s empty book
Filled with deception
Flesh becomes his hook
Wilderness calls out
God’s refuge protects
Love filled with goodness
Earning our respect
Boundary lines set
Marching in God’s trust
Chosen path of life
Faith removes our lust
Always before us
God’s daily support
His right hand’s guidance
Grace never falls short
From Psalm 16:11: “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Fatherhood’s Journey
Growing up, young lad’s treasured dreams
Playing on big league baseball team
Fun-filled adventure marks most days
Journey’s actions conquer life’s maze
Thoughts of family seem remote
Happy to fish from Dad’s new boat
Learning life’s lessons on God’s watch
Scripture’s heroes always topnotch
Far too soon, years advance along
Melodies of love, life’s new song
Marriage joins young man with his bride
Sons and daughters, soon at their side
God’s fatherly lessons made clear
Maturity quiets each fear
Fatherhood blesses this Dad’s soul
Making him feel alive and whole
Collecting lifetime of keepsakes
Children love his homemade milkshakes
Years move quickly, home’s empty nest
Dad’s wisdom guides each child’s quest
Creating humbleness of heart
Fatherhood ignites life’s jumpstart

Pursuing Christ
From Psalm 119:1-3: “Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord. Happy are those who keep His decrees, who seek Him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong but walk in His ways.”

Walking in righteousness
His grace brings us on board
Heart’s treasured devotion
Pursuing Christ, our Lord
Following His teachings
Peace sings harmony’s chords
Soul’s consuming passion
Pursuing Christ, our Lord
Hearing His sacred Word
Faith breathes, fully restored
Future hope lights each day
Pursuing Christ, our Lord
Praying darkness shall fade
Trust grows, mercy’s accord
Empty tomb now proclaims
Pursuing Christ, our Lord
Opening heaven’s gate
Resurrection awards

Just Singin’
New day callin’ now
Raisin’ one eyebrow
Shiftin’ sticky clutch
Steps seem out of touch
Life makin’ no sense
Ain’t got fifty cents
Sittin’ on life’s bench
Rain comes, just to drench
Losin’ track of time
Life’s lemons and limes
Prices skyrocket
Jean’s empty pockets
Life’s newest gamble
Fallin’ to shambles
Lookin’ down dark road
Map’s secret, stealth code
Life’s hollow grand slam
Cold toast without jam
Missin’ mornin’ snooze
Just singin’ life’s blues
Dreamin’—yes I am
Life’s final exam
