Overwhelmed
Just too much to do
In deep waters
Near drowning
In need of a helping hand
To help me overcome
Shadorma
…when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

Against the Odds
One can prevail
Two will be able to withstand
Three fold cord holds firm
Haiku
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Eccl. 4:12
Goodness
Sun kisses red roses
Trees dance in the morning breeze
Shadows of night flee

Field Flowers
Don’t worry, go forth
Dressed in His finery.
Flowers of the field
Clothed in His great splendor
Far greater than Solomon
Tanka
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29
Job’s Question
Afraid?
What is “the thing”?
What is the “that” in you
Which is so big it causes such
Great Fear?
Wonder if someday it suddenly
Becomes real and comes?
What will you do?
Panic?
Or Pray?
What will you do?
Will you fight or just freeze?
Will you crumble in trepidation?
I know
What i would do because it’s come.
And I am trusting God
To remove it
From me.

A Letter
A letter to Seeker
Trying to gain the whole world
Hold fast onto your soul
A letter to a Heart
Seeking its life’s treasures
Choose your riches carefully

Seeking to dwell in Heaven

Save
Gardener’s Recipe
Strengthen those hands
In the soil of the earth
Let them not hang down
To touch feeble knees
But let them cultivate
Tender shoots of Life
To growth and maturity
And cause the knees to bend
In prayer that the the feet may
Walk on paths so straight
Where the lame won’t fall
But be healed and seek
Peace with all

Based on Hebrews 12:12-14
Breastplate of Faith
Patrick is Ireland’s patron saint
Though a true Irishman he ain’t
A simple sheep herder was he
A slave he was til age twenty
Then he met God and caused the devil to faint
