Choosing to align our thoughts with God’s Word will move us toward the abundant life our Creator designed.
From 1 Corinthians 2:15-16: “Those who are spiritual discern all things, and they are themselves subject to no one else’s scrutiny. ‘For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”

Hello Summer, my dear friend—
Makin’ memories
Another refill?
Do you really need to ask?
Pour one more cup please
Life’s daily puzzle
So many empty spaces—
Piece waits in the wings

I don’t look at obstacles as obstacles. I look at them as things that were put there for a reason.
Being humble matters.

The text used for this poem is based upon Proverbs Chapter 10, with the 10th verse taking center stage: “The wise lay up knowledge, but the babbling of a fool brings ruin.”
Seeks God’s wisdom
His words bring wealth
A benevolent father
Welcomes a wise child
Virtue always delivers
Never going hungry
The judicious of heart
Follows the Commandments
Always walks in integrity
Makes for a secure life
Boldly calls out trouble
Brings peace to life
Use righteous words
Builds a fountain of life
Hate stirs up trouble
Love heals our offenses
Craves absorbing wisdom
Ignores a blathering fool
Leads an honorable life
Shuns sinful behaviors
Be prudent when speaking
Uses a blameless tongue
Seeks the Lord’s blessings
Comes in reverent prayer
Follows our heavenly Father
His stronghold protects us

From Colossians 3:2: “Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.”
Temptations swirl all around
Feeling peace turning sour
Life spinning out of control
Facing another hour
Distractions overwhelm hopes
Setting each one aside
Wisdom’s courage reaches out
Becoming journey’s guide
Darkness fading before Light
Seeing evil no more
Character nurtured with grace
Aiming for heaven’s shore
Blessings from Father above
Warming each heart with praise
Courage flowing from wisdom
Lasting spirit ablaze
From the words of British writer and lay theologian, C. S. Lewis: “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in; aim at earth and you get neither.”

God works by simply stepping into our ordinary day of life and saying what He wants to say. It’s a meat-and-potatoes kind of proposition. Here’s what needs doing, and you’re the person who’s going to do it, “so let’s get after it.”
From Proverbs 8:22: “The Lord created me at the beginning of His work, the first of His acts of long ago.”
