The last couple of days I've really been paying the price for my Gather addiction. Withdrawal has been a painful business, I guarantee.
I get on the computer, punch in Gather and...nothing. . . .

You remember this old line?
"We are experiencing
technical difficulties,
one moment please."
Quite often in my life
I feel the desire to have
a sign like this made up
and carry . . .

The world is full
Of hurting people--
People who reach
For something more.
I cry to God,
"You know I want to be
More than I am.
To heal, to save
Everybody." . . .

I've used this phrase
So many times
On so many jobs
Where I've worked.
But I find that this
Even more exemplifies
Who I am and what
I desire to do in life.
I was a shy loner . . .

There is a spark of the divine in all of us
Waiting to be delivered of it's source.
A kindling to become a raging fire.
A trickle waiting to become a stream
And finally rivers of living waters. . . .

You never know
When a word you say
Might salvage the life
Of a soul one day.
You never know
When your friendly smile
Is the first that a person's
Seen in a while.
You never . . .

Wounded for a while, I struggled,
Hiding from the the fray.
Groaning, I thought I could lie
Peacefully and stay
Far away from all the danger,
Letting others fight.
But I knew, oh, I knew . . .

On Feb. 11th, twenty-seven years ago, I met my husband.
About three months prior to that, I was living in Rising Star, Texas. A single young minister had come to visit. I liked him, . . .

I never meant to be an activist!
My big plan was to be an artistic
Creative genius and watch from
The sidelines of life and to let
Somebody else do all the dirty work.
Well, you know what . . .

I watch him go. Casually he strolls away, leaving me in the bleakness that my life has become.
It's easy for him. He lives in a place of sunshine and hope. He has a future. . . .

Sadie always came to the beach house to hide away from life.
Gavin was here. Not really--he'd been gone for five years. But the memory of him and the times they'd . . .

It was the most ridiculous thing!
Here he stood, all cool business in a light gray suit and tie, making the blandest of polite conversations. And all Allie could think . . .

I've had such a life!
It reads more like fiction
Than the truth.
Or it would, should I write
The whole of it, but I know better.
Already, people look at me in doubt.
Were I to tell . . .

Poverty drains
The life out of a man.
The dignity, too.
The confidence.
It stunts his faith.
Makes him sad.
Takes so much of
His very self away.
That's why Jesus
Made such a . . .

My little bit may not bring me
World recognition or endless fortune.
It may not change a nation
Or end world hunger.
I may not be remembered as
Having done that much at all.
But if I have . . .

In Africa, right now,
James is over there telling people about Jesus,

Today is his birthday.
He's older than me by a year and a half.

You know, I get to thinking sometimes
About how everywhere is a nice place to visit
But you wouldn't want to live there.
I've been many places in my life and
Each time I arrived, I was . . .
