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.”

Browsing life’s sketches
With another day
Searching for patterns
Something waits to say
Framing every word
With another thought
Discovering joy
Something ties each knot
Tasting sweet moments
With another page
Blending heartfelt dreams
Something comes of age
Leaving nest empty
With another flight
Seeking novel themes
Something waits to write
Plotting new sketches
With another scene
Finding new patterns
Something stirs, unseen
Every morning I take a few quick minutes to complete a mini crossword puzzle. The short journey helps to focus the mind on my next task. Of course, my thoughts may be pulling together a theme for a new writing sketch as a poem or short story.
