What shall I believe
Pondering the pandemic
Wondering what’s true
Searching for an absolute
In a relative world

I had been wanting to create a place to share my painted rocks with others and also offer the opportunity for others to place and share rocks they paint, so after several months of hoping, dreaming, planning and praying it came to fruition in a wonderful way and today it was completed! I am very happy with how it all turned out and feel blessed that it has already been noticed, used, and admired by many in my neighborhood. I am hoping now that it continues to grow and expand!
Come and See
He offers abundance
To those who will believe
All are welcome

Standing Firm
My feet planted firmly,
An Advocate for justice.
Firm foundation holds,
Under girds, and supports me daily.
I stand for what I believe.

Faith is being sure that what we
Hope for will come to pass because of the
Love that God has for us, and we rest in
Peace believing that to be true.
Free Verse
Based on Hebrews 11:1
Abstract or Fact
Don’t believe all you see
Things aren’t always as they seem
What looks real may not be
Don’t believe all you see
Could be false or reality
Could be true or just a dream
Don’t believe all you see
Things aren’t always as they seem

My mom used to always say “Don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see”.
I was reminded of this today as I took a photo last night of the left over cooled grease on my grill. I had cooked a hamburger for supper and when I went to clean the grill the grease and bits of leftover cheese had formed an interesting pattern, I thought, so I snapped a picture and just for fun put the image into one of the photo enhancing apps I have to see what would result if I edited it a bit.
The result was quite awesome!
What transformed was somewhat of a celestial looking image I thought. Certainly not something that looked like grease and cheese on a grill! 😊
Goes to show mom was right. Things aren’t always as they seem or look like.
What do you think?
If
If I didn’t know You
As I truly do
I could tell a lie
And not blink an eye
Worship an idol
With any title
Use your name in vain
Or kill like Cain
Even cheat and steal
Without any ideal
Chosing not to laud
Parents and You, God
If I didn’t know You
As I truly do
I would break all Ten
As do some men
Mankind unaware
Living without care
Never to repent
On a knee that’s bent
Who’ve never heard
The Covenant word
If them I don’t tell
I’m guilty as well

This titled form was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine’s Lead Editor. Only one word is allowed in the title followed by a single seven-line stanza. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables.

Are within your reach
