You mock my
Testimony,
While my heart weeps.
I do not weep
As you suppose,
Because I cannot take
The pain of your mockery.
I can take it, dish it out. . . .

The road to bring you where you are
is bordered with beautiful scenery.
Identical trees form lines along it in places.
Some trees in other places burst forth
with pink flowers or different blooms. . . .

Quickly!
The moment is slipping away!
Grab it!
Hold it!
Cherish it!
Keep it with you!
Because when it is gone,
It is gone.
Nothing you can ever do
Will bring it back.
Savor it

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 . . .

"Where was God?" She asked me
With storming eyes and jerky movements
As she spat the words into my face.
I was speechless for a moment.
Not because I didn't know the answer. . . .

Why do we say such things to each other?
Do such things to each other?
Don't we all feel the same pain
When our hearts break?
Don't we all cry somewhere
Down deep inside of us when . . .

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 . . .

Tears are funny things.
They rarely show up when we want them to—
When it seems that a volcano of hurt
Is welling up within us
And even one lone tear . . .

"Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."
I think the hardest job in life is getting understanding.
It's easier to mow a person down
Guns blazing, all righteous . . .

The eyes are the windows to the soul, they say.
What I see in your eyes haunts me.
I do not know if I am really seeing as I sometimes do
With otherworldly eyes. Or if you merely remind me
Of someone . . .

Fresh in the morning I wake up
Renewed in my body and mind.
Yesterday's pain is over now
Mercies anew, I find.
Tears of the past are gone away
Smiles of the past are, too.
All that I . . .

For my Dad, the best of great men.
"I'm just in the mully grubbs."
My daddy used to say
When he felt a bit downhearted
And things didn't go his way.
Other people's . . .

I look into your eyes and see your pain.
It must be horrible, living where you are.
You want to believe. You want it so badly.
But the so-called facts convince you otherwise.
I see darkness . . .

You don't even know the tears
Life is going to dish out to you
Before it is through, little girl.
You can't even begin to imagine.
You cry because of something that
Seems monumental to . . .

I wish I could take the love I feel
And bottle it up. Apply it to every wound
Of every person in the world who is hurting.
I love Jesus and he loves me.
But knowing him, I have come to . . .

What abuse does to children
Is a horrible, horrible thing.
Of course, there is the pain,
Degradation and guilt that
Nearly stifles a child's soul.
(The guilt part is crazy, because . . .

I get so pushy, sometimes.
God knows that I don't
Mean to be. I want what I
Think is best for people.
And then, like a bulldozer
I plow forward, full speed.
Life experience has . . .

"Did you know that Home Depot is going out of business?" My husband asked me when I called him yesterday. I wanted to see what he was about to do after he dropped our son, John off . . .

You let me look into your life and I cried.
I won't deny it. I cried big tears
Overwhelmed by the task I knew,
At once, had been set before me.
How could God entrust me with . . .
