    The Friendship I Like Best

    The Friendship I Like Best

    There’s a story that stands out from the rest.And it’s one I like to hear best,For never was there a friendship like Naomi and Ruth,Founded on acts of selflessness and truth. Doubt led the family to sojourn far From the land of their own community.The promises of Yahweh felt below par, And faithless disobedience sowed disunity.They abandoned…

    My King

    My King

    Should I go left or should I go right? If I go left I’ll be in a place strange and new. If I turn right, some people will put up a fight.How? How will I know what to do?  If I keep on straight, will life stay the same,Or if step back will my plans go up…

    As her worn but steady hand turned the knob, She could hear Riley’s sniffling sobs. The pillow had become her cover.She refused to talk, even to her mother.But this wise mama knew Abuelita Ruby had the special touchTo cheer Riley up when she didn’t want to say much.  “Thanks for coming Mama.

    A Faithful Friend- In Memory of Doug Comstock

    I am greatly indebted to A man I hardly knew Doug lived each moment with purpose and care And dearly loved his wife–they were the sweetest pair. My father yearned for some kind of direction And took comfort in Doug’s brotherly affection. He wondered if this Gospel message could be true If so, that would…

    Receiving the King?

    Receiving the King?

    What must it have been likeThat holy and silent night;Was all truly calm and brightWhen they heard the angels singFor the long-awaited King? Though His people had been waitingWere their hearts still debating? How did they receiveHim that first Christmas Eve? Herod ruthlessly defended his authority, Heralding his royal superiority. But with the whispers of a new lordFear married…

    The Promise of What Is

    The Promise of What Is

    What. A small word that starts a simple question.But add if, and we create a whole world of tension. We build these collections of unknowns that found the most unwanted, unwelcomed conditions.
