I Want the Infusion of Jesus in My Life
I want the infusion of Jesus in my life. For this is the leaven of life. Not the profession of Him.Not the profession of Christianity.Not nicely summed up in a little meme. Not the confession of Jesus.Not confession alone.Not nicely coined words and phrases. Certainly not the pretension of Jesus. A house of cards testimony.Woven […]

Jesus King My Everything
My heart it aches, my head is bowed Clenched fists so tight, Do I know how? To open up these palms, relax? Come to Him and simply ask? For sweet relief from striving to, Do it all and do, do, do, And pause instead, remembering, He bore the nails so long ago, And died a […]
Season My Words With Kind
Lord, guard my mouth, Control my speech, Season my words with kind. Let peace and goodness flow through me, Renew my soul and mind. Direct my tongue, the words I speak, Love poured upon them all, So I may bless, not cause distress, to others, grown or small. Lord, help me to refrain from speech, […]

Nonsense and Dr. Seuss and June Already
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” ~ Dr. Seuss Ah, yes, Dr. Seuss, I so […]
With Jesus I Shall Meet
I lean my head against the couch and curl up my feet, My Bible lays upon my lap, With Jesus I shall meet. A cozy blanket ’round me wrapped, As I with Him retreat. I lift the cover of His Word, the pages rustle thin, I turn to Proverbs, then to John, Life-giving words […]
Because Jesus Has Come
The blind receive sight! The lame! They can walk! The deaf, they can hear. The dumb, they can talk! The white and dead skin, From leprosy cured, The good news is preached, By the poor it is heard. Oh, what of these things? What does it all mean? To what does it point? […]

Do I?
Do I find Him faithful? Does He keep His Word to me? Do I trust His goodness? in the things that I can’t see? Do I rest upon His Word? Do I kneel to pray? Do I trust His promises? Believe the things they say? Do I anchor down so deep? When life begins to […]
In the Dry and Dusty Seasons
In the dry and dusty seasons, when the blooms begin to fade, And the flowers of the season begin to wilt away, And the wind is whooping stronger, time seems a little longer, Waiting for refreshing showers of rain. The dust encircles round me and it oft obstructs my view, Hiding distant landscape from […]
