The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.
I consider reading the greatest bargain in the world.
Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) was an American television screenwriter and producer. He was the creative force behind the “Star Trek” series.
Early morning walk, going back in time
Autumn’s breath creates thoughts, filling with rhyme
Trekking along canal’s ancient pathway
Thoughts caress past moments, plenty to say
Gentle breeze, sending leaves twirling on down
Mind arrives at different time and town
Dreaming . . .
More simple times, without high tech living
Days invite, delightful and forgiving
Riding bareback along this old canal
Looking for trees to climb with school-age pals
Fishing one final time, nearby pond waits
When icy winter comes, change to ice skates
Creepy, storm-filled nights, reading classic prose
Edgar Allen Poe’s words, scary shadows
Looking for literature’s lighter themes
Whitman, Hawthorne, Melville adding to dreams
Quiet evenings filled with family time
Gathered around for radio’s primetime
Crisp, fall afternoon, gridiron titans clash
College football rivals looking to smash
Romance blossoms, courtship takes center stage
Life filling with sweetness, each turning page
Back to reality . . .
Journey runs into closed gate at Rager Road
Turning around, grateful for time borrowed
Looking forward to walking here real soon
Fondest memories, let them sing a tune

Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.

God’s Word blesses with a daily connection to His light. Without it, Jesus would remain absent in the darkness of one’s empty faith.

Our Lord received Himself in the fire of sorrow, He was saved not from the hour, but out of the hour.
From John 12:27-28: “Now My soul is troubled. And what should I say: ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.'”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
