Roads

Saturday, January 23, 2010


Have you ever walked down a road

Where you came upon a dead end?

What once seemed so promising

Was brought down by your best friend


Have you ever turned on a road

and suddenly lost control?

When all you know and who you trust

caused everything else to unroll?


How do you know that this place is

where you’re supposed to be?

Life has so many questions

Answers are on short supply

A moment is all we had

It vanished into the sky


Have you ever been down a road

That was smooth then turned into holes

The ride was rough but much was learned

Sometimes that is the way life goes


Have you ever found a new road

Where unexpected gifts were found?

Hope and life opened up your eyes

And true goodness was all around


You know that this is the right place

And how this is supposed to be

A life truly lived despite all the risks

Forgetting what is behind

Because now is all you have

You cannot move forward in rewind

Inspirational Mystery

Sunday, January 3, 2010

(During my trip up Northland in December of 09, I was overwhelmed with God's natural beauty and became inspired with these words...but they barely capture the senses of those moments.)


My eyes were in disbelief

My mouth unable to speak

At these stellar wonders

A glimpse of glory


Every rock, every tree

All the sand and all the sea

All created and made

A glimpse of glory


We are created with creation

Surrounded by so much beauty

It’s inspiring and a mystery

We worship the Creator and King


Tonight the stars were full

Illuminating life

Pulsating power and purpose

A taste of heaven


Your wind against my face

Waves cascading with grace

The aroma of nature

A taste of heaven
